This Ordinary Mind Is Broken

Various events have left me feeling ... discombobulated. Just when I think I've fought my way back to centre, something happens to make me realize that things are still a bit off-kilter. Like when I searched for my lost wallet all day and then, after giving up hope of ever seeing it again, found it on a stack of old books on my bookshelf. Or like how I knocked a knife off the counter and then tried to catch it mid-air, slicing my thumb in three places in the process. My brain is working at half-speed, it seems. I blame it on the rain.

Bringing a massive smile to my face today is Ben and his tit-o-grams (don't blame Ben for the crassness, please. I couldn't resist.) Please, if you have a moment or two, read Ben's entry and help out if you can. I wish I lived in Halifax so I could eat one of Ben's boobies. Yeah. I went there.

  1. I have definitely tried to catch a falling knife. Bad idea in retrospect. Hope you get re-centered (it's supposed to snow thursday night??!)...just embrace the rain! Curl up with your book (isn't it fantastic!?) and a cup of tea and breathe!

  2. I'm probably evil for bringing this up, but are you knocked up?

  3. Ugh, I'm so sorry lady- this sounds brutal. If you need to chat, you know where I am, and for the record I have free long distance =)

    In the mean time, please stay away from both sharp objects and that motorcycle okay?

  4. That has been the past month for me. Hence why I'm single-mindedly focusing all my time and energy on boob cupcakes.

  8. I hate those weeks when it seems like everything is off. I say get all that off-ness out of your system. And rest assured next week will be better. Hugs to you.

  10. I tend to cut myself every 4.3 times I touch a sharp object. Or a plastic lawn chair. Don't ask.

    Hang in there, soon it will be too cold for clumsy. All your body's energy will be focused on staying de-popsiclized.

  11. Ouch, hope your thumb is feeling better.

    I totally feel you, in the last week I've lost my glasses, Ipod and cellphone and still have yet to recover the Ipod.

  12. Ack! I've tried to catch falling knives too, but luckily I'm a rubbish catch. Hope your thumb feels better soon!
