Shattered Bowl
My hands are so beat up with lesions and cuts, and my skin is so thin and dry, I decided to use gloves to wash the dishes. It seemed prudent and responsible.
The first dish flew out of my hands, and crashed all over the floor. It was one of the big cereal bowls from my set. The set I grew up with. I had to concentrate really hard to think "it is just an object. do not let this make you fall apart. do not cry."
This is the second time today I had to do that. I had the same feeling, and response when I cut my finger, right under the fingernail, on the edge of a cardboard box. Cardboard cuts me! That’s how thin my skin is.
New Pill Box
O gave me a new pill organizer. She actually gave me several, Three of which I am using, one of which I am declaring an artwork entitled "Sol Lewitt’s Pillbox."
It is verging on elaborate, but it works. I haven’t forgotten my drugs since I started using it two weeks ago.
