Triumph and Tradition
Thursday gave me the opportunity to discover something else that I can't much do with my dead fingers: eat with chopsticks. The thought of that hadn't crossed my mind. Those two fingers, though, are "strained" and "uncomfortable." It's always hard coming up with words to describe the feeling; the fingers are "dead," but still producing sensations that are beyond my ability to adequately explain.
Traditionally, I begin Christmas decorating the day after Thanksgiving. Not so this year, as I didn't bring boxes down from upstairs until today. Remember, my year's experience with taking things down stairs.
By the way, the little "non-slip" shoes I was wearing when I fell are still at the foot of the garage stairs. Maybe I want to let them know that I've overcome their treachery.
