Flinching, Falling, Tripping

I’m sorry if my title misled you to think this is going to be one serious post. It’s not. Not really. I’m going to mumble jumble here, sorry.

I was walking up the stairs to my workplace after getting a cup of coffee from the vendo machine when this torrent of people from upstairs rushed towards me that made me almost trip and splash the content of the paper cup all over the place. Or worse, on some officemates (I actually did that once, when I was walking too close behind someone that when this person stepped back, I spilled my brewing coffee on her back. Good thing, it was a friend. Bad thing, it was a friend.). I notice that I sometimes get easily startled even when I’m just walking around, which is not a good thing. I mean I can space out while sitting at my desk but not when I’m climbing a flight of stairs on a (semi)high-heeled shoes. It’s not as if I’m wearing comfortable Dansko Shoes at work. And how many times have I gotten paranoid about tripping and falling down the stairs? Geez, I think that last part was partly caused by too much caffeine. Makes me a nervous wreck and all jumpy all the time. Yet that’s one thing I cannot live without - coffee.

But now that I thought about shoes, I think I’d like to get myself some Dansko Clogs. I haven’t really bought comfortable footwear since, well, I don’t remember really. I’ve not been shopping lately, in my attempt to save some cash, although I may need to soon. Dansko shoes and clogs is probably a good place to start. And now this reminds me of a lot of things I’ll also need to buy – office attire, shirts, pants, bags, and toiletries. I think I may have to avoid the mall for now.
