Please use these random words : terminal. instruction, cancel, hook. systematic. fragment. and stereotype. Have fun!

When it comes to instructions, I’m pretty bad at following them. I’m a visual type of person and need to watch someone actually carry out the task before I understand. Have you ever read an instruction manual on how to do the simplest of crocheting? Instruction manuals manage to make the easiest task sound complex even to explaining how to hold the crochet hook! Maybe being left-handed has something to do with my ineptitude with manual tasks.
I don’t fit the usual stereotype of a left-handed person who use being crack- handed, as my dad used to describe me, as an excuse, in fact I rarely think about it these days and have adapted to a right-handed world. At least these days using a keyboard to do my writing on, no one can point a finger at me as did teachers from years gone by. My teacher would tear strips off me, leaving only a fragment of my self worth, simply for not using the “correct,” hand.

My husband and I are planning a vacation to Brisbane in a few weeks time. We are so different in the way we approach things. I am usually the one who books the flights, accommodation and does the packing. He shows very little interested in the systematic way I do things, knowing the travel plans will have been done. That is until the day before we leave home. Then he starts to panic and asks questions such as what time we need to be at the terminal, he always suggests way too early, and what happens if our flight gets cancelled!
