You wake up not knowing
whether it is Saturday, Sunday or Monday. It seems like it is really early and
the effects of your sleeping pills still haven’t worn off. When you realize
where you are, you get up and decide to have breakfast in bed. It seems like
something special because, after all, you have been sick all week; so,
naturally breakfast in bed seems like a good way to celebrate the recovery.
You get to the kitchen stumbling on the cats,
make a small breakfast of toast and coffee and return to bed. You don’t take
the tray because all you are carrying is a cup of coffee and milk and a plate
with some toast.
You sit, make yourself
comfortable, and put the plate on your lap and the coffee mug on the night
stand beside your bed. But then again, you think of the cats that can jump and
knock over the mug. Therefore, you place the coffee mug near your legs and
leaning on them so as to keep it in place. All of a sudden you spill the hot
cup of coffee and milk and try as fast as you can to clean it up. Two layers of
bed sheets and a spread later you see the huge stain on the mattress. You run to get the cleaning
products; wash; scrub; wash; scrub.
You do the best you can but then you have a brilliant
idea- use the hairdryer to dry it. No, bad idea. Ten minutes later the dryer
stops working.
Ok stop everything look out the window and be grateful
you didn't burn your leg although now you have to do laundry and get the
hairdryer fixed.
When you look out the window you see this beautiful
sky (see picture below) and it all makes sense. It all happened for several
reasons but one of them was for you to stop and look out the window. Many
lessons can be learned from this episode, but I will just list three.
1. A naturally born clumsy person should not eat
breakfast in bed without using the tray to keep everything neat and safe.
2. If you were bedridden all week, the best thing to do
is go out for breakfast and not have breakfast in bed.
3. Hairdryers are to dry hair and not mattresses.
Happy Saturday everyone!
