This happened yesterday, but close enough, right?

I learned something very important about the properties of nitrogen pellets meant for the graden- while safe to handle dry, don’t touch them **wet**. Fortunately I was scooping them up with a container and only burned my hand where it came in contact with the residue left on the bag… when people ask you for favors they should warn you about stuff like that.

So far this week I’ve:

While attempting to run into the house I forgot the front door was locked, went full speed into the door and then backwards into the railing

Tumbled down the stairs while carrying a box full of pictures and cd’s

Tumbled down the stairs carrying a cat carrier, including cat (the cat is fine)

Locked my keys in the car

Placed my hand in the gas flame while attempting to turn off the stove
