first of two

i'm not the most detail oriented person.

i know i've mentioned that before, and i ususally pay for that in occasional slight aggravation. since i seem to generally not pay much attention to details, i only seem to notice when little things go wrong, you know how it is, when you drop something and it lodges itself so perfectly in a place so as to make it inaccesible.

[sidebar]it's like that time i was in college and i was headed up to my room, i'm getting out my keys to get on the elevator (we had this lil lazer tag thing that summoned the elevator) and i drop them, in stride, my foot hits them and i kick them into the lil crevice where the floor ends and the elevator door starts. i knew exactly where they were, but couldn't get them til the next day.[/sidebar]

so anyway, being the way that i am, when the details, the little things, go well, i don't tend to notice and i'm definitely not mindful enough to appreciate them. they get taken for granted. but this week's been a bit different in that respect, nothing huge, but i've noticed that a couple or three things have worked out really well, in fact, i feel like they worked out better than they would have if i'd planned out the details myself.

i'm still not sure how that works.

feeling: taken care of, in spite of myself
thinking of: stochasticism and determinism
