My First Mishap or "How to Make a Great First Impression on a New Roommate"

Today the view over my laptop is a bit of a mess. And so am I.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm moving into my friends townhome temporarily while I get ready to take my van journey. I've been taking stuff over there little by little. My friend has two roommates currently living in the house that will soon become my roommates for the next couple months.

I thought yesterday I would take a few things to the house while I was on that side of town. As I pulled up to the garage, one of my soon-to-be roommates was getting into his car. I said hi, "I'll be out of your way in a second." Then as soon as I walked towards the door. I faceplanted it.

Not only did I fall down pretty spectacularly, my hands were both full of stuff. In one hand was a box full of crafty type stuff and in the other my guitar. I broke the fall with my face into the box of craft materials.

Now, I have a bit of a fat lip. From a knitting loom.

I'm sure if the guy wasn't already super excited about living with his landlord's 30-year-old, van-living friend and her cat, he is super excited to be cohabitating with an accident-prone knitter.
