“It was approaching dusk. That time between late afternoon and early evening when most of us are adjusting our lights and clothing, appetites and mindsets, to make the transition from the end of the day to the beginning of the night. A time when both sun and moon can share the sky.”

- Marti Healy

One more week of this cast, but who is counting! Instead of complaining I thought I might share those things I can do left-handed now with ease . . .

fix my own latte, make my own breakfast and lunch, dress myself, hook and unhook by bra, change Percy, and lift him up if needed, eat soup, cut my own chicken, cut a bouquet of flowers, thin carrots, trim and blanch green beans for the freezer, weed, cut veggies for a salad, make the bed, take a shower, even squeeze the shampoo out of the bottle, fold laundry, vacuum, load and unload the dishwasher, mop the floors, clean the bathrooms, clean up spills, wipe the table after dinner, clean out the refrigerator, and feed the dog!

But just because I can do these things left-handed doesn’t mean I have to go back to doing them all, once my right hand is back in service.

I am so proud of his learning curve!
