Today I had many little “goals” that I wanted to get accomplished and I am proud to say that I did them all.
To start with, my dresser has been broken for about two months now and I have really been wanting to get this useless piece of junk out of my room to free up unused space. The only problem is that I kept putting it off because it is so heavy. Well not today. After a very long day at work i barely lifted that monster of the ground and limped it into my living room. I thought “thats progress. I could stop for the day.” And I was hard pressed to find reason why I shouldn’t. In the end, I made it to my front door and ahead of me was my biggest challenge yet. The stairs.
Now normally, I like stairs, but about a week ago, I was in the English building talking to friends on the stairwell when right in front of me a girl lost her footing and fell onto the landing, head first. I watched this girl lay still until a second had past and we all rushed over to the girl. She was bleeding and soon started to seize. About 15 minutes later, the ambulance came and they made us leave this stranger on the stairs. Two days later I spent about twenty minutes begging the women at the front desk to tell me if they had ANY information on this girl, in a drone-like way the continued to repeat that it was all confidential information and that they could tell me nothing. Finally all I received from the most annoyed office woman was, “She’s out of the hospital and recovering.” This sent relief through my whole body, I am very happy that she was okay, but it makes me really nervous now every time I go down a stair case.
But back to today, I was not only fearful because of the aforementioned story but also because I was going to be pulling a dresser that weighed more than I do down a steep flight of stairs and that was pretty scary. I did the logical thing however and took them very slowly, one at a time, soon I had reached the bottom and only had to carry the dresser to the dumpster. Successful.
This day I also rearranged my bedroom furniture but that is not very interesting.
The ironic part of my evening came when I was trying to get my new knives out of their ridiculous packaging. I used scissors to get those plastic straps that everyone hates off of them and....the scissors slipped and well, now I am donning a bandaid on my middle finger so that’s super. But really? Cut with scissors when opening a knife?
oh. god.
