A funny thing happened this morning, or right after I got out of bed which may have actually been afternoon. You should know that I have very bad vision and can’t see a foot in front of my face without my contact lenses.

I stumbled to the coffee pot blind and got myself a cup of creamer with some hot coffee in it as is my habit.

I then stepped outside onto the back deck so I could smoke and drink my coffee. I was not dressed yet but the neighbors are used to that and it isn’t a very important part of this story except that there was bare skin involved.

As I lifted the cup of hot, steaming caffeinated beverage to my lips the funny thing happened. My cup fell, emptying its contents all down my bare skin and landing on the toes of my right foot before bouncing off and shattering all over the deck. This seemed weird to me since I still had the handle of the cup in my hand.

I’m standing there still holding the handle of my coffee cup and wondering if I am in fact out of bed after all. This seemed a bit surreal.

The cup fell off its handle. That’s weird. My life is weird. If anything can go wrong, it will.
