Whether it’s kinesthesia or proprioception*… something is off with my body’s control of its limbs in space. BECAUSE I KEEP RUNNING IN TO THINGS. 

Last week I hit my hand on a metal bar on the train when I was taking my seat. I wasn’t rushed or anything. There was no one in front of or behind me. These things just happen (to me).

My hand immediately hurt. Because of course, I slammed my wedding rings in to the bar, and the rings happened to be turned, so that the diamonds hit my middle finger. Yeah.

That hurt for a few days. I still have the diamond “puncture” spot on my middle finger. 

A few days later, I ran my knee in to a low table. Now my knee hurts. The previous week, I cracked my bruised up toe on the top of a stair and it stung for the rest of the night (luckily that toenail is gone now MUAH HA HA, see ya later!). 

Ha ha. Fun times.

I can’t figure out if I am: a. really uncoordinated, b. moving too fast and not paying attention to what I am doing, or c. losing my mind. 

Okay, probably all three. 

Do you ever feel like your limbs are acting on their own? Or constantly running in to stuff?

Ha. I was telling Gina about this and she brought up a story my mom told her – about the time I was walking out of a store, reading a book, and ran straight in to a GIANT mailbox. I didn’t even see it coming. Ha ha. Apparently this has been going on since my youth. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING, KIM!!!

*I’ve been wanting to write about proprioception for a long time but just doing research and reading that article, I still don’t have a great understanding of it. Maybe that is why mine doesn’t “work.”
