These are the times it's important to maintain a sense of proportion.

Did I just try to pick up a piece of fruit, and in the process drop a plate with a pastrami and horseradish sandwich on the kitchen floor, as well spill half a pint glass full of milk, a good deal of which ended up on the shorts and socks I just washed last night? Why, yes, yes I did.

On the other hand, the plate didn't shatter. The glass didn't land on the deck and smash into a million pieces. And the sandwich seems to be recoverable. That *was* the last of the milk, but into each life a little rain must fall.

So, "mop kitchen floor" goes onto the list of tasks for later in the day.

But first, I'm going to go finish my lunch and then go somewhere where I can lie in the sun and read for a few hours. Because it's a really nice day. I would go biking, but after walking five and a quarter miles yesterday, my legs are a little annoyed at me. :-)

I will put on some shorts and socks first, though.

Your philosophical outlook is commendable. :-) Glad you got some time in the sun.

If the plate or the glass of milk had shattered, I doubt I would have managed to be that philosophical. I've found that there are few things I loathe more than broken glasses, because (a) it seems to be impossible to find all the bits, no matter how hard you look, and (b) I like to walk around in bare feet.
