The ways in which things can suck.

I pulled something in my wrist last night. Haha, yes, I can hear the jokes now. But seriously, I managed to somehow open the refrigerator door using only my pinky finger, which made something kind of snap in my hand and now my wrist hurts. I can't lift much with my left hand for the moment. It's not a terrible injury, but it's an annoying one.

Then earlier this afternoon, I was boiling beans for supper, and managed to burn them. The apartment filled with smoke (and proved that our fire alarm doesn't work), and Jakob-kitty started freaking out. And to make matters worse, only one window in our apartment can be opened and is reachable, and that one's inconvenient because it's in the back room. I managed to get the place mostly aired out, but it still doesn't smell that great in here.

Then, after walking about 4 miles and tracking my steps on my pedometre, somehow the reset button got pressed accidentally and all 8500+ steps vanished. So rather than just call my losses, I feel the need to sit and shake the damn thing to get my step count back up again so I can log it properly on My Weight Loss Coach.

Then Rei and I decided, because my GST credit went through, to order pizza for supper. (Also because I burned the beans...) So we discover that they now have online ordering, which is a yay because neither of us is fond of using the phone. The problem is that the online ordering sucks. If you order pizza, you have an option for mozza crust (at the cost of an extra $2.50) or crustless pizza. No option for regular crust, and you can't just leave those boxes unchecked. There's a section to add a few cooking instructions, but only if you can do so within a 24-character limit. So heaven forbid I need to tell them that I want a regular crust and, I dunno, am deathly allergic to onions or something. (I'm not, but I needed an example of why 24 characters just doesn't cut it.) Okay, fine, maybe I can just deal with crustless pizza. But then at checkout, the only option for paying at delivery is cash only. For the pizza chain that frequently advertises that it has debit-at-the-door.

For shame, Greco Pizza. For serious shame.

Flipping the whole thing around, though, we decided to just walk there instead, since it's relatively close by. We ordered our pizzas, sat around... and then the cashier (who I think is also the manager) came and apologized that they messed up my pizza and accidentally put mushrooms on it, so they made me another. Okay, fine, cool. Mistakes happen. Then she asked if we'd eat one with mushrooms on it anyway. I looked confused, and I think Rei did too, and then she said the the mistake pizza would just be thrown out anyway, so if one of us would eat it we may as well have it so it doesn't go to waste. So in the end, we got a free pizza (one that normally costs about $13 or so), which made the $25 I blew on that outing even more worthwhile because it'll all last longer. That employee/manager/person is seriously awesome, and we're always glad to see her working because we know our order will be right.

So that free pizza really helped make up for a lot of blunders this past 24 hours, and it means I get to go to bed feeling decidedly less cruddy.
