Day Two

 First official day of being left handed. And I’m already struggling.

I went out to lunch with my family after church today. Usually we go to Chuy’s, a Mexican restaurant in the Nashville area, so I thought it would be fairly easy to eat… I usually get fajitas and that’s more of a finger food. BUT, today we decided to go to a new place with our church friends. It was a pizza restaurant.

I thought pizza would be easy, but it wasn’t. Our pizza came out super late and I was starving, and it was so hot. So I decided to just eat it with my fork.

But, that required me to cut it. AND I COULD NOT CUT IT.

My left hand is significantly weaker than my right hand. I never realized it until I tried to use it. It honestly took me so long to cut my pizza up and eat it. It was actually amusing at first, but then I got annoyed because I was annoyed. I ended up picking the pizza up eventually. That’s not cheating when it is a “finger” food, right? ;)

Same thing happened tonight at dinner. I ate my mama’s homemade chili and again, it was so hard to scoop the chili into my spoon.

It’s even hard to hold my spoon right, guys. It felt so awkward.

I kept laughing at myself and eventually my whole family decided to join in being left handed. That lasted for all of 2 minutes. My sisters said, “that’s SO hard!” and my mom goes, “Yeah, I gave up awhile ago.  I can’t do that.”  Haha.

So anyways, that was today’s challenges. I think the hardest thing will be eating throughout this project. But we’ll see!
