Gettin' Too Old for This

A few days ago, I was exiting Schnucks as one of their workers was wrangling a small herd of half-size shopping carts back inside. One of the carts escaped his control; being in position to do so, I took a quick stride, snagged the cart one-handed, spun it around, and shoved it back in the wrangler's direction. He thanked me, and I nodded and headed home.

No good deed goes unpunished, they say. My left wrist has been achy for the last couple of days, and stress tasks like pouring milk from a gallon jug, which I usually do left-handed, are out of the question for the time being. I don't remember which hand I caught the cart with, but I'm willing to bet that it was my left. (The geometry works; my left side was closer to the carts.)

:sigh: I'll have to get used to pouring right-handed for a week or so, I guess.
