Yep, well I’m pretty sure I have it.  The dreaded ten finger mebegebes!  What?  You’ve never heard of the ten finger mebegebes?  Where have you been hiding?  

Well, the ten finger mebegebes is not commonly heard of, so if you weren’t aware of it, that’s okay.  That’s why I write these posts, to keep you all informed of the most current afflictions hitting today’s society ( I know it’s a hard job, but hey someone has to do it).

I unfortunately have been infected with this sometimes incurable condition, I wasn’t aware of it until just recently…but yes, I have the ten finger mebegebes.   

The ten finger mebegebes, is a condition of the hands.  It’s when your hands can’t go for longer than 5 minutes without typing, texting, playing with your ipod, flicking the tv remote button, etc.  It’s the constant need for your fingers to be moving in some way otherwise severe boredom and unsettled hands sets in.  

I’m in a pretty sad state..I must say.  I knew it was a real problem when the other day I actually had to hand write invitations (hand write, can you believe it?) and I sat their trying to figure out how I could accomplish this using my computer, because the thought of actually hand writing something and not typing sent me into a cold sweat. 

Or the other night when I had my Blackberry, Ipod touch and tv remote all lined up beside me on the couch as if they were my coveted possessions, while my four year old daughter sat on the floor….ohhh harsh isn’t it?   So you can see how serious this affliction is.  I’m pretty sure I’m going to need some lengthy medical treatment to cure this…  

 Ah…okay… yep you’re a pretty smart group of people…you got me, there is no condition called the ten finger mebegebes, but there should be.  I have recently been finding myself in a need to constantly have my fingers doing something.  Maybe it’s due to the last ten years sitting at a keyboard, or the last two playing with my ipod touch screen, or maybe it’s that darn Blackberry that is rightfully nicknamed “Crackberry” because my fingers are always craving for it.

Or maybe it’s just me!  Maybe I simply have to give my fingers a nice little holiday, and get back to some basics, like writing in a journal for a change (ohhh..chills).   Apparently I need to get back to practicing some work/life balance and leave those little gadgets to the sideline for a while. 

Right?   I can do this….I know I can do it! (sweating, sweating even more). No really I’m going to do this. 

 How about you? Care to join me?
