Off to a crawling start...
Jan. 3rd, 2006 10:30 amIn spite of my natural cynicism about the custom, I still made some resolutions for the new year: lose weight, be more healthy, be more creative...
...I should have just gone for "Don't mis-set my alarm clock so that I wake up at 7:05 on a work day."
After the least romantic shared shower in my history, I was hurriedly shaving, when I noticed that my shaving can wasn't my normal "travel" sized can of Edge, but a extra-large sized one. My half-asleep mind considered the situation, and came up with a logical explanation- "AHA!" muttered I, "I must have slipped into a parallel universe. One where the clock was set differently, and I bought a large sized shaving cann of Edge." Given my state, it was a perfectly reasonable explanation...until I found the travel-sized can neatly packed in our travel toiletries kit. Either the changes in the parallel universe were VERY subtle, or RXM merely tidied up so I couldn't find anything.
It's definitely not a different enough parallel universe that I didn't have to go to work this morning- and the pile of papers at my desk looks suspiciously familiar. Still, I'm observing things carefully, looking for differences, just to be sure. I'll know for certain when my boss comes in tomorrow. If she has her teeth filed, it's parallel universe time.
