The art of useful creativity

Creativity is generally thought of when people do artistic things, but I am finding it necessary for doing the ordinary things, the everyday things, the humdrum things.

Vacuuming the carpet with a fractured foot means doing it sitting down which sounds fine until the actual doing of it.  Then it becomes a study in how to reach unreachable places from odd angles.

Transporting clothing from the dryer to closets or drawers without wadding them up is like doing a jigsaw puzzle with soft pieces.

Placing dishes in the dishwasher, or refrigerator is a lesson in contortion.

Even sleeping without placing the injured foot in a compromising position becomes an issue.

In the past two months I have learned how to do the usual in unusual ways.

I am creative.  Not in particularly beautiful ways, but definitely in useful ones.
