Office chairs are great for spinning round and round and gliding along to reach stuff all around without getting up, right?
But, that rotating can become perilous when you find yourself falling.
What happened is that the back support cushion fell over onto the seat, effectively making the seat way too high to sit down - I did not have my glasses on, so I saw it too late, tried to grab the armrest. Add to that a super-smooth laminate floor, and I'd stupidly removed the office chair mat because it hinders me from easily gliding on the floor! Big mistake!
The chair glided away from me, so I went spinning out of control along with the chair, had nothing else to grab on to, and landed flat on my bottom. Don't ask me how it was a soft landing, think I had a guardian angel who broke my fall. Just have a slightly stiff left hand from trying to stop the fall when the ground came closer. Not happy, though, that I jerked my neck and may have undone all the neck physio, but I'll take it as it comes. ;)
I'm so glad no one was around, so my dignity stayed intact! My employee heard the commotion and came rushing in, expecting me to be knocked out.
I was all shaken up, literally and figuratively.
Starting to feel like a drama queen; funny, but not funny!
I blame the fall on a guest who annoyed me. He wanted a quote to book 2 nights as he wanted use of the pool all day for none other than a baptism. I have no issue with that, but then he started asking if he could book the cottage and pool just for the day! From 10 am to 2 pm!
REALLY! If I have other guests, they check out at 10 am; the cottage has to be cleaned. If new guests book for that evening, they can check in at 2 pm. Near impossible to have a full day unless you book 2 nights, which is our minimum stay in any case, as I explained to him.
I mean, look at the timeline!
He still requested a quote for 2 nights despite trying to save pennies by booking a day visit! I knew it would be a waste of time, but I obliged!
Poe was so startled after my fall from grace that he ran away and hid in his latest favourite box!
Oh, for those who don't know, it was Hive Power Up Day. I did a very small power-up as a token as I believe in the thinking behind this, I only powered up 20HP though! I am trying to build a little kitty of HBD in my Hive wallet Savings. The sale of the house is crawling at a snail's pace with not many buyers since our president signed what basically is a land grab act! So, I could still need every little penny if unexpected estate costs pop up before the sale takes place!

The first reason is to have fun and get a badge!
Here are some other great reasons to power-up your HIVE:
Strengthen your influence on the blockchain with stronger votes on content, proposals and witnesses.
Earn more curation rewards. The more Hive Power you have, the more you can potentially earn back
Earn "interest" by holding Hive Power. You will also earn HIVE passively at about 3% per year of what you currently have powered up so the more HIVE you have, the more you can earn from just holding!
Finally, several amazing members are offering prizes that include delegations, Hive giveaways, and other cool stuff to the Hive PUD participants.
After a day like today, I needed some 70s music therapy, sure to get my mind off all the happenings of the day.
As we know by now, Tuesday is Three Tunes Tuesday Week 201, run by Dad. Husband. Sport. Music. Technology. Astronomy. Art. Reading. Surfing. none other than 
I'm not going into detail about the artists nor the songs, simply sit back and enjoy!
As always, a bonus track.
I hope you're also helping strengthen the blockchain by powering up, being careful of those office chairs, and enjoying the music shared by other Hivers!
