Over the past week or so, I’ve been looking at the world through the lens of affordances. I received an electric fireplace and hadn’t decided where to put it before it was assembled. The cabinet and insert are not attached to the base, so I had to move the whole unit entirely from the base, or take it apart. There was a half-assed way to move it as well (remove the cabinet to relieve some weight, which I also did), but I wanted to see what it would take for my body to move it the way it was, just to see if I could find an affordance and use it as a way to organize my body in a novel way.
Although I probably made myself sore, moving it the stupid way was surprisingly entertaining and a much more interesting puzzle than I expected. I probably won’t do it again.
Also, my cat thought it was a special ride, just for him.
