Day of Weirdness
Today was a day of exceptional oddness.
I think I’ll preface it by saying that yesterday was sweet. Small group is one of the highlights of my week, and this week’s, for some inexplicable reason, was above average. Maybe it’s just the fact that I get to hang out afterwards and chat with some awesome people. Who knows. =)
After returning from small group, I read for a while and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up around 3:30 and dragged myself into bed. Woke up again an hour later to Ryan and Evan talking in the hallway. Groggy and disoriented, I just fell back asleep.
When I woke up later on, I went to take a shower…
and noticed our stove in the middle of our living room.
Right from the get-go, I knew this was going to be a weird day. Apparently, in the hour window that they had, somebody had pranked us by moving our stove into the hallway, blocking it, and spreading our pots and pans all over the furniture. I have to give whoever it was props for doing it so efficiently and silently. How they moved the entire stove without waking any of the three of us up is astounding…
Looks like we’re going to have to make sure we lock our doors at night…
The other thing that was really weird was the fact that when I came home to change after fencing, my key didn’t work. It seems that I had the key for the exterior door (which is supposed to have a lock, but non of the exterior doors in Perkins have them…). The question is though: why didn’t it work then when it had been working all the time before?
Thus, most of my day was plagued by an intangible sense of confusion and of being unfocused. It wasn’t until late afternoon after I talked to Evan and got the full stove story, and after I finished my Flash project that has dominated my attention and spiked my stress levels, that I finally started getting a handle on the day.
It was then that I started enjoying the day, and everything it brought with it. The rain, the new knowledge from classes, the company of friends, and the little (and big) victories that came through the day.
