What a morning

I woke up early, 8 minutes before my alarm was due to ring. I thought that was a good sign, since we got back from Menotti only after midnight (more about that later) and it was my second late night in a row.

I got out of bed, did my usual sun salutation, brushed my teeth, got dressed.

Then I realised that one of the earrings I wanted to wear had snapped, so I'll have to figure out how to solder the pieces back together before I can wear them again.

Then I got something on my shirt, so I had to change it.

Then I had to get another pair of earrings, which was wedged in awkwardly where it was stored, so I couldn't slip them out in the dark and had to take the entire container out of the cupboard.

Then I couldn't find my keys for my desk at work. They seemed to have vanished from the side-pocket of my bag --- this, after I'd noticed absently yesterday that maybe the side-pocket wasn't the most secure place to store them.

Then I berated myself soundly all the way to work, because I already lost something else last week, and if I had to replace these keys as well, the school administrator was going to hate me and never trust me with anything again.

Then I got to work and the keys were --- miraculously! --- dangling from the drawer at my desk.

All better now.
