la poesia esta en las calles

so, what did i do today?

-community service (the good doctor gave an older woman like 10 shots in her hands for her rheumatoid arthritis)
-ate delicious lunch including strawberries with homemade whipped cream
-studied for a quichua quiz (paykunaka urku urapimi kankuna: they are under the mountain)
-EXPLODED THE KITCHEN (apparently there was a glass cover that goes on top of the stove but that i had never seen in use before. it was there, and a pot was on top, i assumed they added it because the burners don't hold pots and pans very stable and it was a recent and untold addition to the kitchen. with a friend, josue, by my side, i turn on the stove to boil some water for tea.

while talking about nothing i can reme-KABOOOOOOM! there goes millions of shards of glass all over the kitchen. EVERYWHERE. under (ura) the fridge, behind (washa) the stove, on top of (janak) the counters, EVERYWHERE. even in the other room. SO MUCH GLASS.


"MAKI" i shout a couple seconds later, while still in shock that i had created and EXPLOSION in the kitchen. she runs over and does the spanish language gasp and i run and get shoes while apologizing and saying i have NO IDEA what just happened " NO SE QUE PASO! AY LO SIENTO!"

basically a half hour later, maki, josue and i have finished cleaning with fingers feeling like they just picked up thousands of pieces of glass.

i was supposed to remove the cover made of glass with pretty decorations before using the stove. yeah. i forgot that glass doesn't always do well with fire.

and parents: don't worry the company is coming to replace it free of charge tomorrow)

i really can't think of anything that should or could follow that little adventure.
