Smaller

Either the rest of the world is a little bigger than normal today, or else I shrunk 5% overnight. I noticed this phenomenon this morning, when I was at work. There had to be a reason why I kept tripping over skids, boxes, and my own feet. There had to be a reason why all the skids that were delivered today seemed so much bigger than usual. There had to be a reason why everything was so much heavier today. It's just got to be that the size ratio of WORLD to RACHEL was meddled with overnight and the result has been an increase in clumsyness. Put yourself in my shoes for a moment: suddenly the juice jug on the refrigerator shelf is that much higher up than it used to be, and the door is that much bigger and easier to stub your toe on, and obstacles are that much harder to avoid running into. It's been an interesting day. I wonder if I'll be even smaller tomorrow.

    It appears that things are back to normal again today, so my "Amazing Shrinking Woman" capers should be over. Good thing, too, because there was no telling when it would stop . . .

  4. Very strange indeed.
    So when's the big move? Let us know, because we're not that far from St. Catharines.

  5. haha, you guys are quite the pair! A small and therefore clumsy Rachel mixes well with a large and therefore clumsy Mike... :) At least you always have one another to keep you company.

  6. Kirsten and Rodney (and Dylan!), we're moving August 2. Crazy days ahead! Whereabouts are you living? And what church are you attending? We'll have to have you over once we've settled in a bit and our house isn't a disaster! :)

  8. Rach, you crack me up! You're super funny and very creative (not to mention great with graphic design stuff!) I think Mike should take you into class sometimes - you'd probably provide great entertainment for his studnets! ;)

    Great to see you this morning. Hopefully next week we can exchange a few more words.
    Best wishes as you prepare to move (house looks cute!)
    Theresa.
