The Mayan Prediction

many of you probably woke up today and noticed that the world didn't end last night. (i can't think of a good visual for this, so here is a picture of two otters holding hands):

well, you are WRONG! i mean, you're not wrong, exactly, but you aren't right, either. my world DEFINITELY* came to an end yesterday, just as predicted:

what tragic thing befell me, you ask? well, i'll tell you! super high winds came gusting into my kitchen window, knocking the commemorative kansas plate that special lady kt gave me onto the floor and into three pieces:

it was awful. AWFUL!! and clearly this is what the mayans were talking about when they predicted the end of the world all of those years ago.

the only solace (and also a bit of good luck, especially given the timing of it) was that i got something really awesome in the mail from special lady kt! she sent me a puzzle of my hometown:

i don't know how she did it, but she knew that something kansas would meet its horrendous end today. apparently, she is in sync with the mayans:

and to make things even better, c.b. magically mended** the plate, so now i have both. yeah!!
