this morning #2189.

this morning, in an outstanding display of grace, when i lost my balance coming down the stairs, my instincts kicked in & i was able to swiftly shift my weight. managed to brace myself against the wall & avoid falling flat on my face. a couple minutes later, as i was taking my lucky coffee mug out of the cabinet, my fingers gave way & it slipped from my right hand. i caught it with my left just before it hit the floor & smashed to bits. fast like a cat. all morning, life kept playing out like that. a half dozen examples at least. fantastic reflex feats. with each one, i assumed that my luck would run out soon. by the afternoon, the series of insane events had gotten in my head. i was afraid to jinx things. frozen. couldn’t get up from my desk.
