My forks are expired

Posted by Jill Myles in Blog - Daily Life

So I bought a box of plastic forks at the store the other day, because I've been bringing my lunch lately and what's the thing I never have? Forks. Planning ahead, that's me. Except I cracked the box open yesterday, and noticed on the back...there's an expiration date. Of last month.

Plastic forks...expire? Um. Okay. Kind of shows you what sort of week I've had though. ;)

I went on a Nano frenzy last weekend and ended up writing like 9k in about 24 hours. Which was really awesome but then I messed up my arm. Sad. I have what I like to refer to as 'mousing arm'. Where you use the mouse to scroll so much that you end up aggravating a nerve.

It sounds really stupid, but there you go. So I'm wearing a dorky wrist-brace and generally trying to be careful. Which is harder than it sounds - you don't realize how much you're on the internet!

At any rate, my Nano project is up to 15k, but I plan on catching up again this weekend - with my arm at a more pleasant angle and using my alpha smart (thus taking mousing out of the scenario).

And...um...that's about it for me lately. Been going to bed early because if I can't type, WHAT GOOD AM I??? And things like that. I keep thinking of things I need to blog about, but when I sit down to blog, they fly out of my head.

    In the interest of family safety, I went to the pantry to inspect my 48 count box of plastic cutlery. I didn't get so much as a Best If Used By date. They smelled like plastic and I didn't see any signs of rot, but how do I know? Maybe I'll just save those for my husband...

    Hope the arm is better soon.

    I think it's feeling better lately - thank you! But yes, I was kind of disappointed that I didn't pull out a totally rubbery fork. :)
