here at chez alyssa it's stress central... and when a person is stressed,
anything can happen... for example, i have lost my cell-phone, keys, and glasses
more times that i can count. (yes, i called my cell #. five times. for some
reason, the ringer was turned off.)
i was supposed to look in on my neighbor's cat, but i lost her keys as well;
i later found them in my washing machine. the battery charger for my camera?
in my sock drawer. and speaking of.. can't find a matching pair to save my
life.
two nights ago i went to make a sandwich. on the way to the kitchen i stop at
the bathroom, walking right into the door (note that i said "into" and not
"in), smashed my shoulder, and had my favorite sign on the door--a ceramic "WC"
sign that i'd had since college--crash down to the floor and shatter into
pieces. so i swept up those pieces and went to make that sandwich: i picked up my
favorite giant henkel knife--the first really good knife i ever bought myself,
18+ years ago--and it slipped out of my hand and onto the ceramic tile. yes,
my feet are intact. the blade? cracked in half. and i'm not talking at the
park where the blade meets the base, i'm talking an inch above that. cracked. in
half. i kept looking down at the handle, thinking, "this just looks so wrong!"
i walked into a wall at the studio, that was clever.
then i got a UTI. (so, the moral: even good stress, from launching a great
business, can make you go crazy)
