Happy Monday My Lovelies! I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was relatively productive so Yay me🍻! I had the most fun Saturday night because my friend Robb and I went to a community theater production of Clue. As it was closing night and the ad-libbing was fantastic, so it made for a great night, despite the 45-minute drive there and back 😁.
In other news – I have made some progress (after seven weeks 🙄) on my master shower. I FINALLY have an appointment to (hopefully) fix it or at least get it on the schedule to get fixed. I guess threatening to sue them (it was the fourth option I gave them) did the trick 🤪. Wish me luck ☘️.
Now, let’s have some fun with today’s post.
I have always known that I have a weird and nearly useless superpower. I think everyone does. That one thing that you are good at but only helps you most, if not all of the time. But yesterday, I realized that I have a second useless superpower, WooHoo 🥳.
My first superpower is that I can tell when something is crooked. And I’m not talking obviously crooked, I’m talking off by millimeters. Pictures, shelves, things on a swivel, anything that could possible sit unevenly, if it’s off, I can tell and I can usually adjust it (when possible) without the need for a level. Even if I’m building something, I can just look and tell it’s not straight. And when I’m working with someone on a project and tell them that, they usually have to pull out a level to prove me wrong (which I rarely am). It used to annoy my ex to no end whenever I would say “That’s not straight” and he would level check it to only find out I was right 😆. A weird but somewhat useless superpower (unless you count irritating my ex as useful 😜).
My second superpower, which only benefits me, is that I can naturally determine how long I want to nap for, and I will sleep for just about that amount of time and wake myself up automatically, give or take 10 minutes (gotta allow for falling asleep 😁). Unfortunately, it only works for short naps (up to about 45 minutes or so) unless I am completely exhausted. I tell myself “I just need to close my eyes for about thirty minutes” and voila about 30-40 minutes later I wake up – like an internal alarm of sorts. A useful skill from time to time but of no help to anyone else 😆.
And in case you’re wondering, I do not consider my ability to make computers and electronics act haywire (as I have well documented 😜) as a superpower, more like my kryptonite ☄️ 😳.
Now it’s your turn, tell me about your nearly useless superpower. Do you use it for good? Regale me with your tales in the comments. Entertain me peasants 🫰🫰 (just kidding 😁).
