trying it out // trying

I’m just trying this template on for a bit. It doesn’t have the back/forwards buttons (I agree more nav is good) but it does at least have the recent posts down the side.

In other news, sometimes it is hard to be dyslexic. I was embarassed in a meeting last week when I conferenced my boss in wrong twice. (Going from a written phone number to the dial pad is especially bad for me.) Then today I discovered I tranposed the same numbers again when entering it into my cell phone.

(I think the story of my dyslexia is still lost in my d-x archives (really do need to get my husband to sort that database thing out for me so I can install them here). In brief, hit my head as a teenager & managed to shake up that part of the brain, to the excitement of local neuroscientists. Still cannot tell my left from my right and have a devil of a time spelling anything I couldn’t spell prior to that, transpose numbers, and so on. The best is if you ever catch me without my wedding rings on trying to figure out which hand is supposed to hold the pen.)

    I like this design a lot. It’s clear and sharp, and the red has some punch.

    How do you decide where to put the wedding rings when they have been off?

    I actually do it by feel. One of my hands is a little bigger than the other, and my wedding band is a bit tight on it, so if I put it on that one, I know it’s wrong.

    You would think I could use “L” for left, but once my rings are off, if I don’t have something I know is an L in front of me, I really can’t tell. My brain is weird. :)

    If you hold your left hand up, palm out, in front of you, the last three fingers curled down, the thumb and first finger make a L.

    That works really well if you know at that moment what an L looks like. :)
