Accidental Week

So far this week, and it's still Sunday, I've cracked my knee on a TV table and poked my eye with cardboard. Sometimes, we just don't measure distance when we're cleaning or whatever - I mean I'm always bumping into things. But I think how I poked my eye was ridiculously stupid of me. I was tearing up a box to take to the paper bank. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not superwoman nor are most cardboard boxes super strong. At least one portion of the box was flimsier than the rest with the result that it came flying at me ever so unexpectedly. Usually I wear glasses when I'm doing any task. However, in this case I wasn't. How true it is when they say most accidents happen in the house! Now all I need is the chair I'm sitting in to break!

This week my plants, dog and I have taken advantage of what little sun we've seen. On Friday morning we woke up to rain mixed with a bit of snow. Zara just sniffed at the door and refused to go out. Around elevenish suddenly the sun came out for all of 10 minutes and I took advantage of a lull in the rain and took her out. Yesterday we had fog in the morning and more sun until it was time for me to go and do the shopping. At least the doors to the supermarket weren't wide open, although when I came out there were rivers flowing down the street. I'm not sure but I don't think in the time that I was inside that it rained so much. I was thinking probably a broken water pipe somewhere. Then again, maybe a mean cloud did dump its load right there.

I haven't posted anything from Post Secret for a long time, so I'm including my favourite one for this week. Hope everybody has a good week. Remember Wednesday is Groundhog Day for some folks. What happened to January?

  5. "I've cracked my knee on a TV table and poked my eye with cardboard." Then you tried to take the Zara out in the rain. I wonder what the dog thinks of all of that?

    Maybe you are getting it all out of the way at the beginning of the week! Do have a good week.

  6. Sounds to me like if your cleaning you need to wear protective gear so you don't hurt yourself lol. I'm the same way and feel so silly when these things happen. Time just flies by, can hardly believe that February is almost here already. Enjoy your Sunday and try not to hurt yourself :]

  7. Not a good way to start the week, Brenda, but maybe you've seen the worst of it and can look forward to better days ahead!! Glad you had a few minutes of sunshine. We are finally getting back to normal for our winters. The sun is shining and we are to have temps in the low 70s today. Wishing you a good week, in spite of the start!
