Well, that was a wierd day.

At first I was loath to do this Task, as my days have been pretty same-y and, let's face it, boring. So when I realised I was going home for Easter, I thought 'oh brilliant, now I can go and do something for this task!' Then my mind gt to wondering, and I realised it would probably be even better to do it on the day of the move, as I would be doing plenty of extra things that day!

On the day in question, I was up well past midnight before I slept, so everything started from there - I wrapped my hand up on the stroke of midnight, with a pair of socks clenched in my fist to ensure that I completely disabled myself. Admittedly it was a pain to do this to myself, and it ended up looking like I was the victim of some horrific accident, but never mind - it did the job. The first problem I found was using the computer - the mouse was fairly simple once I changed the buttons round, but the keyboard seemed to have something against me... I am a by-the-book three-finger typist, and I can type as quickly as most people using their entire hands with only a couple of digits, but unfortunately the two main ones were now wrapped around a sock. This could take some time.

Then came sleep - an uneasy one, mind you, as I'm used to sleeping on my right hand and the socks made that a lot more difficult. I understand that the task could have probably been put on hold while I slept so I could take the DisabilityGlove(tm) off, but I guess I'm just too determined a Tasker for that. The next fun came in packing up to go home - not as difficult as you might think, but you can only really take half as many carrier bags in a single hand (obviously).

I could detail the rest of my day in such anal detail to broe the tits off you, but I won't. Instead, see this handy little graph I plotted of everything I did today, against ease of said task and difference to doing the task with both hands.



In conclusion: Very much fun, and iinteresting to see what difference it makes. Also a great deal of fun to see people's reactions at first glance: "Why are you writing with your left hand OH MY GOD WHAT'S HAPPENED??" (Thanks dad...)

Most fun: Brushing Teeth - to put toothpaste on, bite toothbrush in mouth and hope you can hit the end with the paste.

Least fun: Carting heavy boxes upstairs. My hipbones want to disown me now...
