so many surprises this morning
So here's one for the Unsolved Mysteries file:
This morning, I was having a dream in which I discovered that my watch band had broken, and when I woke up... well, I (re)discovered that my watch band had broken.
This is sad news for two important reasons. No. 1 is that now I have to go watch shopping, which if history is any indicator, will probably be quite the long-drawn-out ordeal. Reason No. 2 is that this particular watch holds a bit of sentimental value since I got it at Game, downstairs at the Grand Central shopping center in Cape Town.
Plus, I'm beginning to think that unfortunate turn of events may be connected to another odd discovery this morning. Looking at myself in the mirror right before @showertime, I saw a light scar across the my-left / your-right side of my face that I can't connect to any weekend event.
Now, that's not to say that I didn't somehow scratch myself at Chuck E. Cheese's or Toucans while celebrating Mariecar's birthday. Both birthday events got pretty rowdy.
But still, I wonder if some crazy dream or, even worse, the Gremlins that live on my roof prompted me to scratch my face with my watch-wearing wrist so roughly that I broke the watch.
11/18 » Another possibility that occurred to me today was that the little scar might've been caused when I haphazardly put on my... well, I don't know what you'd call it exactly, but the purple headband-type thingy that I got and wore at Toucans during Mariecar's birthday drag show.
I had this brainstorm right after Colin asked me what the thingy was today when he saw it on my desk. I put it up to my face and saw that yes, the edge of the headband could have indeed traveled along the exact path of the scar while being placed on my head.
