Objects are not being well-disposed towards me
Does anyone else have phases when material objects manifest hostility towards them?
(There was an English humourist of the mid-C20th who posited a philosophical school concerning what Things Think About People - unfortunately I can't remember what it was called - Object - something - 'Objectivism', of course, comes up with massive hits on Randian horror.)
Last week there was a certain amount of general dropping of things and so on, and then late Saturday night, while using scissors to get a recalcitrant top off a pill-bottle, the blade slipped and plunged into the base of my thumb causing copious dripping, if not quite gushing, of blood, and a subsequent state of nervous jitters affecting sleep.
MyCloud (which I am, it appears, going to have to upgrade) has done that thing in another browser which already did in one whereby it decides it's only going to show me the first part of the extensive contents of one particular folder.
Baking bread today there was a 'part of loaf stuck to bottom of baking pan' incident, aaaargh.
Etc etc etc. Nigglesome in the individual case, more or less, but cumulatively feeling like Thing Are Out To Get Me.
