Leave for strange reason

Yesterday unexpectedly I got caught up in rain. Distance from my office to house is @ 17KM. When I reached home I was completely wet. Jeans was completely wet and I hardly had any hopes that it will dry till morning. In morning I tried to iron it but then discovered that it's life is over, stitches are giving up their life. I went to wardrobe and tried my best to try whatever other pants I have. It was not very surprising that for past 6-8 months I am using only one jean :). I have gained 10+ kg weight in 2009!
Actually 3-4 months back I had brought one new formal pant but again that was with the hope that in next 1-2 months I will loose some weight - but I added 4-5 kg :)

Now it was question to me "How to go to office now?". I thought of different possibilities, and then gave up plan to go to office. Shops in my area do not open till 10am and altering the height generally takes 1-2 hour. So I decided to take leave.
The actual reason was very difficult to write in SMS (to manager). Finally I wrote following message - "Hi ---, because of some strange reason I can not come to office today. If required I will explain it tomorrow".
