Broken symmetry

desperanceToday's good news: the bottle of vanilla extract didn't break, tho' it fell from a great height and not much like the gentle rain from heaven* upon the plates beneath.
Today's bad news: those plates. They did break.
M'wife says "So fucking what?", but, y'know. I get so sick tired of dropping things and breaking things and so forth, and yet I continue to do it. As with most of my bad habits and character flaws, come to think. I read once that short-sighted people are often clumsy, and I drew solace from that for years, decades; but solace wears thin in the end, I find.
Anyway. We get to buy new plates, yay?
Also I am instructed that I should point out that m'wife is taking shameless advantage of her inside track, and has posted a list of my award-eligible stories on her blog. Hrrumph.
(Also also, I hadn't realised quite how little I published last year. Good grief: what happened there?)
*Which, I might put out, we are still waiting for, here in NoCal. It'll be spring soon; the first asparagus was in the farmers' market this morning, and is now in my frittata. We could really use some rain.
