The universe is out to get me

valis2Last night I nearly swallowed a chicken bone. One of those long thin ones from the side of the breast. It really freaked me out because I half swallowed it and just barely got it out. One of those freaky moments where you just think...could I have dialed 911? Would they have gotten here in time? Scary.
Then just now I decided to have a drink. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a Jarritos (mandarin orange flavor, yum) pop from the fridge. They're yummy, they use cane sugar instead of corn syrup (usually), and they're still bottled in glass. I grabbed a bottle opener (they don't have twist-off caps) to take the cap off.
Cor blimey, it was stubborn. I attacked it from different angles but it thwarted my first opener utterly. So I grabbed another opener and tried that one. Still the same. Finally I managed to pop it off. I went to put it to my lips, but then I thought something seemed odd so I paused.
I've never seen this happen before. And trust me, I used to drink a lot of pop when it came in glass bottles. At least ten bottles a week. This freaked me out. If I hadn't noticed, it would have sliced my lips up.
Brr!
ETA: Okay, now I've cut my hand putting it into the recycling bin. Clearly I should not operate any heavy machinery any time soon.
