"Rotten Stroke Days"
I'm having a "rotten stroke day".... at least that's what I call them.
The right side of my body is as graceful as a doorknob today. And it's freezing, even though we finally broke the 40 degree mark (That's swimsuit weather here in Wisconsin). I'm tired and lazy and my head weighs a thousand pounds.
This doesn't happen all the time ... just on my "rotten stroke days".
Those are the days when I can be buttering a slice of toast and I'll forget what I'm doing. Seriously, I look at the toast and the butter knife like they were foreign objects, and it takes me a moment to realize I was trying to complete a relatively simple task.
"Rotten stroke days" also leave me accident prone.
This morning I cut myself making coffee - no, I wasn't opening a new can - I don't know how I managed to take a chunk of skin off the knuckle of my finger ... but, I know it was the start of a "rotten stroke day".
My balance is totally fricked up today so, I fell down a few of the basement stairs in an attempt to do some laundry. (The boys will be wearing dirty clothes until tomorrow.)
I tried to "chat", but I couldn't follow everyone's thoughts, so I gave up.
Even playing "Chuzzle" on yahoo games ... Usually I'm a "genius"... at least level 12 ... today I couldn't get past level 8.
I'm supposed to write my column this weekend (I write for an industry publication called Recognition Pro) but, I have a feeling I'm going to need some extra time this month ... I can't seem to think in full sentences on a "rotten stroke day".
Are "rotten stroke days" normal? Do they happen to you too?
