Day 203: What Did Batman Say to Robin... About Bailing Out the Bucket

Holy hand or foot annoyance Batman!

If you had to choose one or the other to have for a year, would you rather have small glass bottles on all of the fingers of your non-dominant hand or your left foot in a bucket? 

Both of these would definitely hinder my basketball-playing abilities. So basketball apparently would be out for that year regardless. And that would be hard.


But on the bright side, having a bucket on my foot would not allow me to do cardio at the gym, so I'm actually in favor of that. The clunky contraption would also prevent me from wearing heels, so this is looking better and better.


Until I think about when it rains - which would force me to stop and bail out my bucket - or when I'd need to take a shower, which would put me in the same situation.

So this one, for me, is an easy call. Even if the glass bottles were on my left hand, it would drive me crazy not being able to type and, thereby, write. I'm a writer. It's what I do. I could write with a pencil, sure, but I wouldn't be able to crank out the volume or be able to re-read and delete and re-write as cleanly as I can when I type.


I also wouldn't be able to give a double high-five, cook, tie my shoes, or anything else that essentially requires two hands. I'm a hands-on type of person and need both of them, so for me - bring on the bucket.
