owie

I just took a spill racing to the kitchen to get my lunch a little while ago. Listen to your mother when she tells you not to run in the house! We have a throw rug in the little space between the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The rug has no grip on the bottom, and as I stepped on it and shifted the direction of my momentum to turn left into the kitchen, I got airborne and horizontal, falling squarely on my left hip bone. Nothing's broken, I think, but I'm a bit hobbly at the moment and will possibly have a huge bruise on my left hip soon. I also luckily did not hit my head on the wall on my way down. Sorry, Mr. Giles. No more long walks for the next few days.

coffee cup lids

I just got a cup of coffee at my neighborhood coffee shop. They have these strange, different coffee cup lids. I mentioned, "These lids look strange." And the coffee guy responded, "Yeah, they're like, weird, techno lids." Sitting down now at home to drink the coffee, I notice that the lips-lid interface is clunky. I feel like I'm trying to drink coffee while sucking on a plastic contraption. Very disconcerting.
