Tuesdays are good for nothing fuglier cousins to Mondays..they are wired to the matrix that forms the Murphy's law.
If something has to go wrong it'll most probably happen on a bloody Tuesday.
Case in point my shopping debacle.
Shopping is a term I use most loosely to perhaps glam up the image of vegetable buying.
I'd loaded up an extra gigantic bag on veggies of all sorts and realised it was heavier than a baby elephant, but what of it. Nothing new.
While on my way out I realised and remembered the one important small ingredient that still needed to be bought viz., white sesame seeds and so loaded up a small packet full of those and tucking it away in the largesse of the bag set off.
My hurried movements towards my house were compounded by the fact that along with an extremely heavy bag I had to brace the humid heat that left me panting and sweating like a double marathon runner.
Home finally!
I unravelled the contents of my Vatican sized shopping bag only to discover a horrific sight.
The small packet of sesame had opened and spilled its contents all over the produce, and as I lifted the veggies out of the bag the seeds carried out with them and spilled all over my kitchen, got stuck in the recesses of my clothes and were literally everywhere.
One can imagine how many sesame seeds can be packed into a half kg packet, and almost 3/4th of its contents were studded about my life that moment.
One task after another.
Now I had to clean the bag, my kitchen and shake off any seeds till stuck to vegetables.
It took longer than I'd wished and I wasn't too happy about my work suddenly increasing ten folds for no apparent reason.
Am I pissed?
Of course I am, in fact even as I speak/type I can see from the far corner of my eye a stray sesame seed lodged in a cranny and some more in the living room.
Another brooming session is in order.
I just poured condensed milk into my coffee..I'm that upset. Imagine.
And to top all that I have dinner to prepare.
Oh did I mention how that bug repelling bracelet broke and now is almost useless.
Gah I say.
