*Respect*

In my flailings about coughing last night I managed to, all unknowingly, upset a half-glass of water over my bedside table.

Most of the immense pile of crap on the table was made of plastic or other materials that just needed to be dried off—the phone and iPad were in the portion of the table that miraculously didn’t get wet—but can we all now bow our heads in respect at the demise of

(1) my packet of llama-shaped sticky notes

(2) and a valiant little packet of silica gel desiccant that tried its absolute best before surrendering to fate?
