This week just hasn't been a good one for me! Little things have happened that make me wonder if I am returning to my adolescent days! Back at that time, I was not very good with spatial coordination and ended up tripping over my feet, walking into doors, 'sliding down the stairs', and bumping into obstacles. I would get bruises that I couldn't remember how they were obtained.
This week? Well, I went to get the mail and slid not once, but twice, on the ice down our driveway. My left hip and knee were the target points. After the two attempts to get the mail...I walked back in the house empty-handed hoping that all the neighbors were not at home to see my 'gymnastics'. Another day I was backing out of our driveway and 'bumped' into another car. I know I checked both ways...and don't have a clue where the other car came from. I dropped the same DVD two times in a local retail store. Then while stirring up some banana bread managed to spill flour all over the floor and 'skated' in my slippery shoes. To top it off, last night I was walking out of Barnes & Noble and went over to my van to unlock the door. It wouldn't open! I realized I was standing by the wrong vehicle. ha! At least I could smile about that one. I woke up this morning with a pain in my shin and after some deductive thinking I guessed it was a result of banging my leg on our coffee table last night before I went to bed.
I'm so glad this week is over. Hopefully, I have had my awkward spatial 'moments' qouta for the month and will be free of such uncoordination for a while. No wonder I acquired the name "Klumsy Kora" in my teens! It just isn't easy being me! LOL |
