I am embracing the skew-whiff life! We wonky girls need to stick together :D xxClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236906641354002595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-13629642541110839912018-08-28T21:14:14.478+01:002018-08-28T21:14:14.478+01:00Hugs Julia love the wonky outlook that has definit...Hugs Julia love the wonky outlook that has definitely given you a new perspective on life, you're a real encourager with your wonderful attitude.

I'm picturing you in a hotel corridor, zig-zagging along and doors being opened as you bounce by. You, hands in the air, throwing these words over your shoulder as you keep going, "Sorry. So sorry. Brain tumor, don't you know! Ta Ta!" Bless you!!

It involves them gently whispering sweet nothings in my ear until I fall over. I think is how I understand it. <br /><br />Anyhow, straightness is overrated and wonky is where it is at!

A lot! Perhaps gin had been involved,( in fact if that pic is from where I think it is, there had DEFINITELY been gin involved) I find that a good excuse for pretty much any mishaps. :) Thanks to the nerve damage on my left leg side from my op, I tend to favour one side, I think I've forgotten how to stand straight. Good thing the nerve damage from the lung surgery is also on the left! Can you imagine the bottom half leaning one way, and the top half another? I know I avoid things like cobblestones these days, and one of these days I'm going to get brave enough to try my platforms out again. We have to keep our sense of humour, don't we?<br /> When something comes out wonky, I blame the cardstock not being square, so add that to your repertoire. :) Love & hugs, and see you soon, Shaz XxXshazsilverwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274746581731544287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-6105701805279494242018-08-25T09:16:11.820+01:002018-08-25T09:16:11.820+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047393147135525758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-78028326725146120422018-08-25T09:15:55.812+01:002018-08-25T09:15:55.812+01:00As you have, no doubt, read in my blog....

I do sympathise with the zig zagging, it happens to me because of the BPPV too.

Of course, putting it into perspective and considering the alternative, it is a small price to pay.. I applaud your attitude to the situation.<br /><br />To the case in point, I would just deliberately craft off-centre anyway, then if it is deliberately wonky it won't look like you just can't place items straight. Although, sod's law you'll probably be 100% straight then!

I get Vertigo, so can sympathise. I have often been walking the girls, feeling like I must look like I am drunk. I cannot see out of my right eye (it's an artificIal eye, so would be a miracle if I could:)), so that adds a but to the wobbliness when the Vertigo hits.<br /><br />I have never been able to make things straight on cards and LOs, so I deliberately don't try any more.<br /><br />Your LOs look fine to me:)<br /><br />You take care and have a lovely weekend.
