Rule of Thumb by Heatherlynn

June 27th, 2007 3:56 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Go an entire day without the use of your thumbs. Discover what it is like to have the dexterity of a less advanced animal. You may go about this however you please as long as your thumbs are immobile (e.g. with tape or special gloves).

So I started at 1:30, Tuesday, June 26. I started by taping my hands.

The next thing I decided to do was make the bed.

Then I decided to brush my teeth.

Then I decided to submit proof for the "Once Upon a Time..." task that I had done before I taped my hands.

The rest of the time, before Barbapoca came home, I just read and watched TV.

Then Barbapoca came home. He and I went to get a haircut for me, some dinner, and a little bit of driving for me!

See the video below.

When we got home, I worked. I'm a typist by trade so it was interesting. Happily, I quickly adjusted.

Then it was time for bed.

This morning, I was trying to figure out what I had or hadn't shown. So to the best of my ability, this is proving that I got myself dressed.

Finally, at 1:30, Wednesday, June 27, it was time for the tape to come off.

The only thing left was a couple of red marks at the base of my thumbs where the tape had cut into it.

I will never take my thumbs for granted again. There was nothing that I couldn't do. But quite a few things that I had to readjust how to do them to make it successful.

Yes it is. So there was no sticky residue on my hands. Just a lack of blood flow and the place where it cut in to me on my palms.

Yay!
