Bad Morning.
 

My hangout is at starbucks located inside a Target department store. I usually use my laptop here while enjoying a beverage:cool: I have com to know the people that work here and while they know I have some faint problems, never have I had a bad time here with my MS. well....

This morning early was a mess, literally.

I went to pick up my beverage and totally dropped it all over the place, om myself, everywhere....of course it frustrated me and I tried to keep my temper at bay and tried to be valiant about it, but it was hard....felt like a child or an old lady who dropped her drink on the floor. I look good...I look healthy, but this damn thing I have really embarrasses me sometimes. Of course the girls promptly cleaned it all up while I sat there almost not able to move....it's like I went all numb for a while. I just told them it gets hard to hold onto things at times.

So here I am trying to find a time to make a break out of here. They got me another drink though, but I'm afraid to grab it.

.Not looking for there theres....I know this is kinda self absorbed.....just needed to write this someplace.

Feel welcome to share your "dropping your drink all over yourself, stories" THAT would make me laugh:D

I can absolutely relate. In fact, I thought about posting here......my frustrations......but your post says it all! :)

I dropped a plastic (thank goodness) cup of water at 2 AM when I got up to feed the cats and tried to get a drink. :mad: I keep a cup of water in the fridge so all I have to do is reach in and grab it. I even used my "good" hand. :rolleyes: I was standing at the fridge in the open part of the door and the cup just fell out of my hand. Well, there was a mess......thank goodness it was just water......and I just stood there thinking "should I use paper towels or a dish towel. No, wait, a bath towel would work. But I'd have to walk down the hall to get it. What should I do?" I needed a virtual slap upside the head......I mean, who does that?? :confused: Go get a towel......ANY towel......and clean up the mess.

Well, I finally snapped into action and did one of those "foot maneuvers" with a large bath towel and somehow got the floor mopped up. I went back to bed without my drink. :rolleyes:

I get a slippery feeling on my fingers sometimes. It makes it hard to hold onto anything. I've dropped so many things I've lost count.

The one thing I think I am most careful with is carrying cans of catfood. I don't ever want to drop one on my cat's head or back.

I hope you got another cup of coffee and enjoyed it.

I tried to take a drink of my Fresca at dinner and ended up spilling the whole thing on the floor. Luckily only a little bit went on my clothes but I felt like a huge klutz at that time. Lenny had to mop the rest up. I felt awful.

I'm sorry, Lumia_black :hug:

I only have stories of "I almost" spilled/dropped a drink including the little communion cups at Church :eek:

I do have a story about dropping a sharp knife at a restaurant which I have never lived down :rolleyes:

We had gone out to Dinner for our 20th Anniversary. I picked up the knife and dropped it. The knife bounced when I dropped it and landed on my husbands....lap. To this day, 14 years later, my husband swears I meant for the knife to land were it did :rolleyes: I think he is being over dramatic :p

Hopefully laughing with you lumia... I have dropped far too many drinks to worry about it. I once dropped a bottle of soda in a hospital waiting room, the lid was only just tight enough to ensure it soaked everyone in a 20 ft radius as the bottle spun around. Sent two people to the back to have their fresh gauzes changed :p.

I dropped a Pyrex dish beside my poor cat one day too, he'd already learned to stay out from underfoot (after dodging knives and forks) while I'm in the kitchen but the arm jerked suddenly and whizzed it across the kitchen. Sounded like a bomb went off as it dispersed into half a million tiny shards of glass. My cat no longer keeps me company in the kitchen. (He was fine, barely dodged it but he managed to)

When I was still taking college classes, the students around me learned quickly when I was having a bad day and would often laugh right along with me as pens and pencils shot through the air often with surprising accuracy for the backs of necks.... Gotta keep the young'uns on their toes :p. But honestly it was like my hand had a mind of its own, and in that mind it was playing British darts (always got a nice backward spin on the pens from where my pinky and ring finger would shot it out of my grip)

Though to date probably the funniest (and most embarrassingly tragic) spastic arm drop would be the time I dropped a hammer, while tapping in a nail, on to a can of paint that splattered myself, my DH, uncle and my father's brand new TV set. Aided in tragedy by the hammer bouncing back from the can and landing on my toe with the claw of the hammer which sent another spew of blood mixed in with the paint on myself and the DH. Learned never to do any kind of home improvement barefooted that day. And ended the day with the shattering of my father's favorite mug. He decided to get me a drink while my mother doctored my toe... The hand had other plans :D

Needless to say my family, pets, and friends all steer clear of me if I'm holding anything that's a potential projectile or isn't shatterproof. :D

Starz, your Pyrex story reminded me of the day I dropped a Correlleware plate (which I thought was unbreakable). I dropped it on the hard wooden living room floor probably four months ago and to this day I still find tiny shards of broken plastic (or whatever those plates are made of) around the room. It shattered completely.

The only thing I believe is unbreakable is soft plastic. I have managed to break many items that were deemed "indestructible". HA! :Deliberate:

I dropped a tube of oil based hair conditioner in the shower a few weeks ago. The cap broke, and it's a tube, so I have to store it in a bag that I tied to the grab bar in the shower. Because if I let the tube point down, the conditioner will eventually ooze out.

So far, I haven't ended up with a slippery mess in there. I keep my big bottle of shampoo, and shower gel in the same bag. (it's a mesh bag that's made for showers/going to a pool. It has pockets. If the bag starts to get icky, I'll just buy a new one)

I understand.

Last week I dropped a glass (very hot!) pot lid and it went into a billion little pieces everywhere. Getting down on the ground is quite difficult for me so cleaning that up was fun.

The next day I knocked my full tea all over the place, thankfully didn't break the mug. Again had to get down on the floor to clean up.

It's weird... I have numb finger tips but I don't notice my hands not working properly till I do things like this.

Within two years I had broken both sets of glass drinking glasses in our home, one second I would have a firm grip on them, the next they were gone. Nice to wake up and get something to drink and have it turn into a major project? Drink spilled all over, scattered glass all over?

I can't usually tell if I injure my left foot until I see a blood trail! I now do all my drinking out of travel mugs with secure lids, even if I drop them the lid stays on.

Kitty, I have Corelle ware dishes too, they are made from some sort of ceramic, hard to break, but not impossible, I have broken them too.

I was going to say, maybe we all need a sippy cup..:p
I drink all beverages from a big cup with a big handle.:D
