The Problem With Rearranging Your Room

Actually, this is slightly embarrassing... but I'm going to post it anyway because it's pretty funny.  Sooooooo...

Try not to fall out of your chair laughing.  But if you do fall out of your chair... make sure to roll around on the floor while laughing.  Stop, Drop, Laugh, and Roll.  Or whatever that saying is.

Ok well without further ado... Here's my short, sweet, funny little story of the evening!

 

Tonight I came home after dark and forgot to leave a light on.

A little earlier I had come home after work, made some dinner played some guitar and then decided to go for a good long evening jog by myself and listen to some iTunes U Stanford University Lectures on my iPod.... I'm currently looking for a good audiobook and I listen to iTunes U lectures in-between finding a good one... I think I mentioned before one time I listened to comedy while jogging... but, that's just a bad idea.  People don't take to kindly to a person running down the street just laughing out loud to no one.

I think you can make a mental picture of that.

So yes, when I came home from my jog all exhausted I walked into a very dark apartment.  Now, I must say, in the hallway they have these super bright florescent bulbs that make you feel like you are in one of those tanning bed things.  So as soon as I enter the apartment it takes some time for my eyes to adjust to the light.

Can you see where this is going?

Now, I figured since I've been doing the same "walking into my room turning on the light in the dark" motion for some time now, one would assume that this would not be a very difficult task for me to accomplish.  I mean... let's see... ok, all I have to do is walk into my room along the wall to the corner, raise up my hand to the little twisty thing on the floor lamp... and then I just twist the little nob and the light bulb on the floor lamp pops right on!

Presto!  It's sorta like...

When you get an idea and the light bulb pops on over head.  Well... sorta. ok not really... but how hard could it be to turn a light bulb on?

So... that's how it was SUPPOSED to go.  Easy enough right???  Well...

This past weekend I decided to rearrange my bedroom because I got bored of how it was.  I moved the bed around and pulled it out so instead of it being along side the wall just the head was touching the wall.  I also decided to move the lamp across to the other side of the room by the closet instead of in the corner.

And tonight, I forgot ALL about doing that.

Here's what actually happened:

 

I entered my apartment from the "tanning booth" hallway and without thinking didn't bother to flip the little hallway light on and didn't bother to let my eyes adjust.  I made a quick right into my bedroom, then I made a quick left and let my left hand just barely follow the wall and my right hand reaching up to find the light as I headed for the corner of the room.

I took about 2 steps, and my right foot hit the corner of my bed.

I toppled over the bed and slammed into the wall with my whole side of my body.

Ouch.

Two words: smooth move.

I laid there in the dark for a minute or so thinking I might have broken something.  Once I realized I was ok I just kinda laughed at the whole thing.

Not taking any chances this time, I turned on the little flash light app on my iPhone and I got up and walked over... remembering there was a bed there now... and turned on the light next to the closet.

I looked over at the window blind and was just very thankful that the blind was drawn and no one could see what had just happened.

 

 

Anywho so that was rather embarrassing.  I probably REALLY shouldn't post this up, but after it happened I really just thought it was pretty funny.  Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself.  I don't know, life is just funny sometimes I suppose.
