Today has just been one of those days where everything I do or touch seems to go awry. What a mess of a day! First, I screw up a recipe (so much for experimenting). Next, I make a few blunders in my current sewing project. Repairing a hole by hand turned into folding and sewing over with the sewing machine, which turned into taking out the seam entirely, cutting, resizing, and sewing the seam back together. That was my last resort before completely redoing a section. After that fiasco, I proceeded to trim excess fabric off. In doing so, I succeeded in cutting right through the good side of my project! Ack!
I decided it would probably be a good idea to take a break from sewing, so I proceeded to wash some dishes, only to cut myself on the blade of the food processor. And (it's not over yet) as I went to open a bandaid to cover my cut, it ripped in half! Goodness! I better not pick up anything glass today, because know I'm probably bound to drop it (just ask my husband). I know these are just small details in the scheme of things, and not really that bad in the end, but it's just funny how things like this can all accumulate on one day.
I'm not sure whether I just wasn't paying enough attention today or what, but I think I will attribute this clumsiness of mine today to the pregnancy. In fact, this is a common occurrence, according to "What to Expect When You're Expecting," which states that the extra clumsiness is caused by loosening joints, water retention, loss in concentration (yup, got that one), and change in centre of gravity. At least I have an excuse these past 7 months for my clumsiness, but I can't say the same for all the glass I've broken before that... hehe!
Steering clear of glassware...
