I just found this old post while doing some browsing.. I must say TinCup, you seriously made my day. I haven't laughed so hard in awhile as I could see the whole incident happening in my head. LOL
I think I just might have a good day today!
THANK YOU

Great stuff! I have days where I wonder if I could hang on to anything. The funniest time I can remember this happening was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Before we lost our house or filed for bankruptcy. My husband brought me a cup of coffee and he handed it to me. I grasped it fine and before both our sets of eyes, I just poured it right out on the floor.
Well, my surprise was great, and my dh had his mouth wide open gasping. We just locked eyes in wonder. Finally, after what seemed like an hour, he said,"why did you pour it in the floor?".. I was like, "I don't know." As I watched my hand pour out the hot coffee I wondered why it was doing that as I definately did not tell it to that I was aware of... Dh was confused, as was I. He said maybe I was going crazy, like the neurologist and other docs implied.
Of course, I cleaned up the mess, got another cup and managed to get that one in my mouth. We have often spoke of that incident, although there have been many more. That seemed a turning point in him realizing more of the extent of this and it's effects on me.
He actually got to see it first hand, the things I'd been telling him of and trying to explain.

Twice, I had similar coffee spill events start to happen to me in the coffee shops, and there I had to deal with store workers warily eyeing me each time I came in.
So I learned to do a very careful two-hand coffee management process so the clerks wouldn't have to go running for the mop. I know what you mean - very disconcerting...

Up just for some fun. My tea spill today made me think about this post.

Fifteen years later and I am still the "big spill"!
Cleaned the kitchen today- one of those take everything out and apart and put it all back together again whether it needs it or not cleans.
Was going to do it while listening to the race. The race took three hours, the cleaning took about eight. Underestimated that one, now didn't I?
Did the floor scrubbing last, and set up fans to make it dry faster. How clean it was!
Once it was dry I decided to get some hot green tea with honey and milk- a pint full- and rest a bit.
Reached over to turn off the fan and when pulling my arm back I hit the pint of tea. It spilled (more like flew) all over the table, the chair and covered at least 3/4 of the floor and part of one wall.
Did I mention it covered my bare legs and feet too? Hot tea? Why that makes someone have to suddenly go to the bathroom, I don't know, but it did.
Tried to quickly dry my feet enough to cross the recently cleaned carpet area, using my nice clean kitchen towels, but slid across the floor anyhow. Right down on my butt.
Tried to get up and my knees were still dripping wet with tea and honey and milk. Went down again. Then hands got wet trying to push myself up off the floor.
Ended up crawling quickly to the carpet and pulling myself up with a chair.
The good part? The only "wet" I had to clean up was the tea.

Hey, TC .. I have one of those spiders living in my driver's side mirror too. We have so much in common!
PS .. I'm still tired. How about you?

TC, this makes me laugh out loud (for real) over and over again!!! This sounds like me!
I long ago gave up on anything but plastic cups, because of the neuropathy/motor problems in my hands.
In my kitchen, EVERYTHING lands on the floor, plus all over everything else. Every pill, or so it seems, and I take tons of them. Anyway, your telling of it is soooo funny!! I bet you had a few choice words along the way.
