I am the super klutz these days. On Monday I spilled half a bottle of BPAL Dorian. I was in a hurry, and stupidly set the bottle down on the ironing board, and it tipped right over. No big deal, I still have about 1/4 of the bottle. And it was lucky that the spill was on the ironing board, the cover of which I could throw away. If it had been on the couch or the comforter or something, the whole house would have reeked.
Then yesterday was a more ambitious spill: I dropped my lunch. A whole Tupperware container of lamb curry. All over my skirt, socks, shoes, the chair, and the floor. It came out of the office carpet surpisingly easily, but I haven't washed my clothes yet. I was lucky it was a thick curry. If it had been soup I think my feet would have gotten burned. It's too bad; it was a good curry. And I have to say, sitting down to work when your clothes are crusted with dried curry is no fun.
I'm kind of afraid of what spill-related disaster will happen next. Maybe I better stay off the roads during today's incoming weather. Like I would go out anyway. I don't mind driving in snow, but I can't stand driving in ice. The roads are bad enough, but the other drivers terrify me. It's not so much the Southern drivers -- they mostly stay home, like me. It's the displaced Northerners who can't seem to get it through their heads that these roads aren't salted, sanded, or in many cases even plowed; that their SUV doesn't have snow tires; that regardless of the marketing hype, it (their SUV) is neither an all-terrain vehicle nor a sports car; and that all these things affect one's ability to drive on ice and snow. I don't much care if some idiot driving too fast on the ice, with a cell phone in one hand and a cup of Starbucks in the other, crashes their SUV. But I'd like to prevent them from taking me down too.
My, that was cranky of me. I suppose that's what I get for posting when I wake up early. At least I'm snug and warm under my slanket. Unlike Georg who had to go to the radio station this morning. At least he'll probably be done before it starts snowing.
