I love to dance - and during that I am pretty graceful and coordinated.
Which is in complete opposition to when I am moving around the house. I constantly bump my hip into things, always have cuts and scrapes on my fingers, bruises on my legs. I always constantly hit my head on cupboards. Other times I have sudden excellent reflex but it shocks me when I do things others take for granted. Catching something for example. I always make a fuss if I catch something first time. I also tiptoe walk a lot. It's so comfortable! I have a tendency to do a small involuntary skip when walking if I get what I call a joy whoosh - it rushes through me for no reason usually and then tiny skip, just one. Can't stop it. That's a good day when I do that. Most days, ow, whoops, balls that hurt and so on. :D
 
I type slowly with limited finger usage and yes I look in the direction of the fingers but I am looking for the characters on the keys so I type the right words . I understand there's a better way I just can't do it. I'm clumsy and can't catch well, or throw accurately. I fall over sometimes, and bang into tables or hit my head in the kitchen especially tho whoever thought to put a head level shelf above the only place the bin can go is somewhat responsible also. Rubbish at any competitive sports. Actually I feel quite proud of my typing. Considering.
