I was putting out my bedtime pills

I was, and I had grabbed my diphenhydramine bottle. Now, I had saved a lot of little bottles before I got this huge bottle. I'd grabbed it and when I went to put it in my other hand, it slipped. It was kind of rolling/sliding down my left arm. It was moving too fast for me to grab. I could have picked it up, it was what I was planning to do, but instinctual I flipped up my left arm. I had expected the bottle to now go sailing across the room. But I was wrong. Instead it flipped right over next to my other pills! That was really unexpected! Cool... You have any unexpectedly cool thing happen to you lately.

Too cool!!! You're really lucky you don't live in my apartment. IF your pills had gotten loose, you would have had them coated with a mixture of cat hair, acrylic fur for bears, mohair for bears, furs for recycling into bears, thread, and other dust bunnies and fuzzy stuff. I clean as often as I can, but when I'm processing fur, no matter what kind, the floor turns into one mass of "HAIR". I get it on me, the cats wear it, and it's even on my door mat. If the management doesn't like it they'll have to clean it up because it will go on the rest of the week and maybe through next week. Sigh. I had something like that happen with Mom's favorite vase, and what was incredible was it did fly through the air and went sailing across the room---into her lap!! We both were in absolute awe over that. It was one father gave her when they were dating, and it was over 50 years old. It was like an angel's hand was guiding it to safety. Pills, liquids, dry products like sugar and flour, all end up spilling all over the floor and counters. IF it's something yummy like dog or cat food, or left over people food, it's usually cleaned up by the resident cleaning crew. We just have to rescue any chicken, fish or turkey bones. We never have been quite "normal".

I have lots of dust on the floor, some cat fur that walks in with me, despite my trying to keep the cats out of the room. We were keeping the cats out of the room when Viv was alive. Now I keep them out because I don't have a litter box in here and haven't figure out where to put one.

See, you have talents that you never knew you had. I am glad you did not have to pick up all the pills. That is a great save.

What? You didn't scoop up a couple more bottles and start juggling?
