Inanities

I'm so happy I found my right house slipper.  Like really really happy.  It was lost for a couple of days and I was dsitraught.  For a while I thought the Fairy Godmother of Slippers wanted to punish me for not wearing my slippers, so she took my right slipper away.  Leaving me with a useless left slipper.  Good only for killing cockroaches, but there are no cockroaches in my flat. 

Sadness, grief and exasperation eveloped me.  And then one day, I stuck my hand under my bed and found a dusty but otherwise healthy slipper.  

I said a small prayer of thanks to the universe.
