In case you labor under the belief that I have my act together, I have a story that will make you question that.

Last week, I was setting up for a work event with some coworkers when I took a drink of water.

It’s a simple act, really, drinking from a bottle. Little children do it without incident every day.

But I took said drink and choked. Then I coughed and kind of snorted at the same time, sending water out my nose and onto my shirt. All the while, the coworker standing closest to me continued talking, even blocking my path to the restroom where I needed to be to clean myself up. And I couldn’t even speak to tell her why I was running away.

Guys, it burned and it loosened up something in my sinuses, causing them to drain and everything to burn more. I wasn’t the same for the entire rest of the day.

So. No, I do not have my act together and, if this story is any indication, likely never will.
