Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

I've gotten Dunkin Donuts coffee four times this week, three times it was horrid! First time EVER that I've gotten crappy DD coffee. I think it must be the location or the people or both. Maybe it's the fumes from the metro that waft up and soak into the coffee filter, beans, cups, ice, etc.

Speaking of the metro, I have not seen any guards armed with machine guns or with dogs on the metro - except on TV. Apparently the metro stops that I use aren't considered high profile enough to warrant such attention.. Or mayhap I just missed the 'inspections' in my travels. The dogs and powerful weapons would be the result of the bombings in London. All mass transit systems are at Code Orange for the next couple of days. The guards at my building were more vigilent yesterday but back to normal today. I do see armed guards everday at the metro and in my building, but they just carry hand guns nothing automatic.

Speaking of my building, I managed to fall down a half flight of stairs on my way to get lunch yesterday. This was after I smashed my thumb with a stapler that morning and ran over my toe with a chair before leaving my apartment (was barefoot and unable to "vent" my pain loudy as it was 5.15 in the morning and my neighbors were still slumbering). Stairs are of the cement and metal variety and quite sturdy ( you know bomb proof, fire proof, head hitting the stair chip proof, etc.). Thankfully I didn't hit my head or my back, just my leg and derrier. Yes, I have lovely bruises and it hurts to sit down and I was not wearing heels, I had on sneakers. (Stop laughing Toph!!)

So, yes, if yall haven't figured it out by now, I can be a bit of a clutz. There goes my image of being all graceful and surefooted. ;)
