Re: Anybody ever had any luck becoming less CLUMSY?

2 by Dovira
I don't know, I think I'm clumsy because my mind is just never there. Like I rise to get up but then my attention is already at the place I'm going or on some other thought so I bang around my limbs awkwardly. Probably self-consciousness doing that as well. I'm a lot in my head, simply put.

But I also drop things. Usually because I'm playing with them though. Like flipping my phone over in my hand.

My mind is definitely on other things. My wife was watching me try to do housework recently, and clearly my Attention Deficit executive function issues have been exacerbated by the pandemic anxieties.

Anyone else do this? Start washing dishes, go to the pantry to get a scrubby brush, remember that I was going to soak some black beans today, get out the black beans, start towards the counter where the big bowls are, realize the dogs need to be fed. Why is the tap running? OH, dishes. Try to resume dishes, think "This would be less boring with some music on," and go looking for the smart speaker thing. Realize there's a package with a record in it on the porch! Grab it and bring it inside, think about making coffee, WHY IS THE TAP RUNNING?

Careen off of door frame....

I'm afraid that all I can do is commiserate.

I once managed to face plant myself into a wall back in my flour milling days. It was 3 a.m. and I was walking back to the control room from shaking out the mill, and my eyelids were feeling kind of heavy, so I did that thing where you close them most of the way but you look forward and up just enough that you can kinda see where you're going through the narrow slits left open, and my clumsy ass didn't see the control room wall coming. And I was half out of it, so it was just a sudden sensation of "why me am feel pains? There am being wall!"

I guess it's good I wasn't headed towards a manlift. That could have been fatal.
