In honor of it being "Hump-day", which is an awkward expression, I figured I'd share my most awkward moments of the week thus far (in random order)
1. Went for a run on my normal 4 mile loop yesterday and a small child decided to bike along side me for about 3 of the 4 miles, staring and humming in obnoxious-7-year-old fashion the entire time. Did his father, who was biking a short distance ahead, offer his assistance when I mustered up the most evil glare that I possibly could? No, no he did not.
2. On this same run, I somehow managed to drop the key to my apartment. As I slowly retraced my steps and muttered obscenities under my breath, a car full of "bros" slowed down to ask me what I was doing. They then started laughing maniacally and sped away... uh, did I miss something?
3. Platform wedge sandals + cobblestone Boston streets + pouring rain= judgemental stares and a small curtsy for no-one in particular before getting in my car (had to acknowledge the hugely unexpected achievement of NOT eating pavement despite many an ankle roll)
That's all I've got to-date but remember, it's only mid-week and the world still has a plethora of opportunities to throw uncomfortable situations my way. Will I fill prolonged silences with excessive talking and un-funny jokes at my work event this evening? Only time will tell.
