Taking sides
The slightest of gym injuries (pulled ligament, left forearm) has been forcing me to do some stuff with my right hand for the first time. Which is weird since I am right-handed.
I already knew that the left leads when I am lifting weights, hammering, screwing (as in DIY), or anything that very obviously requires physical strength.
However, I had no idea that I also left-handedly hoovered, scrubbed the bathtub, put things away in cupbodards, carried bags, wrought dishcloths (can you tell I cleaned the apartment over the weekend?).
I also wear 'it' on the left, I wonder if that is related?
My sides seem to have shared jobs according to inclination: the left bangs away while the right does precision tasks.
Like, if I were to be in a punch-up I'd have a deadly left hook – that lands somewhere in the air between your shoulder and your right ear.

I also wear 'it' on the left, and I'm right-handed, so that blows your theory(!)
