hazards in the house


Was trying to tidy up my room and found this 21km marathon finishing medal on my table.

Wanted to place it in that special compartment on the self when I realised it was a wrong move.

This special compartment is at the highest self slighly above my eye level, that is where i kept fragile items, delicate gifts from others, token of pleasant memories etc.

I was trying to balace the madal on the photo frame in the special compartment when the photo frame started falling forward. It knocked onto a small glass bottle with crystals inside, another photo frame and a liquid density thermometer which mother bought from holland. Everything just came falling down so fast that i don't know which one to save first. It was horrible. Eventually, the glass bottle with crystals landed on my left elbow joint with the joint cliping on it, the liquid density thermometer was supported by my right upper arm in an awkward angle to prevent it from rolling down. The other photo frame was wooden, so i subconsciously didn't save it.

Yes, i've saved all the fragile items. But another problem arises. That is that i'm stuck at that position, cos if i use my right hand to support the bottle on the left, the thermometer will roll down. And if i use my left hand to support the thermometer, my left elbow joint will not be able to clip on to the bottle and it will drop. It was so awkward as i've mentioned, the compartment was above the eye level.

I was trapped at that position for 1 min or so, thinking what will be my next move. Tried calling mother but the reply i got was the sound of her vacuum cleaner. Mother always like to use the vacuum in full blast, hence it create defending noise which drowns my call.

Ended up, i tipped toe and stand on my bed to give myself leverage. I've performed a circles balancing act to balance the bottle on my arm without cliping, so that my left hand is free to save the thermometer. Once secured, i once again, balanced the thermometer with my left finger so my right hand can hold on to the bottle... ...

What a dangerous day... ...
