grapefruit shoe.

today was a lot of running around trying to price and buy things for a catering job in a couple of days. while at whole foods, i found myself a bit hungry but kind of too anxious and over-worked to actually eat. a few days before iwanted some of their fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, but they didn't have any in the small size, so today i bought one, only to realize after purchasing it that i didn't really want it. but there it was, tangy and sweet, and i had a few sips as i hopped a bus to 9th avenue. it was a rush and go kind of scenario, and i held onto the juice bottle while running into the post office. it's one of those bottles that has the pop-on/off top, not a screw on. which is why i didn't want to keep it in my bag, i was kind of afraid the top would pop off and then my bag would be all grapefruity. so when i get into the post office, i go to put the juice on the counter so i can grab the parcels out of my bag, only to have the (plastic) bottle come crashing down to the floor, spilling juice all over the floor, my leg, and into my canvas slip on, with which i was not wearing socks. after alerting the post office personnel to the spill, i popped into starbucks to wipe my leg down, but couldn't remove all of the grapefruit pulp. so for the better part of the day, i had a sticky grapefruit shoe, and a pulpy leg.

i guess a foot smelling of grapefruit isn't the worst thing one could wish for, but it still felt weird.
