    In the last three days, I learn to sewing with a machine, It was kinda hard on the pedal part. press forward to go and back for brake, anyway the machine I use got a problem the clutch is slipping and the spring is too hard, so the pedal is inconsistent pressing too much it goes too fast while not enough press the clutch is slip.

    So using that machine is demands too much concentration, but suddenly it feels like something just click and I have no more problem with the pedal. it's just suddenly I was able to stop and go whatever I want be even I able to adjust the speed of the machine with little effort.

    Anyway, have you ever felt something like that?

    It's been ages I've touched my keyboard but my hands still easily fall into the right place...guess muscle memory lasts very long

    I live in an apartment with another family, and all the light switches are the protruding ones that you can flick up and down.

    The problem for me was that I went back to visit my family home last thanksgiving (Canadian gang rise up), and all the light switches we have at home are ones where you have to push in the top or bottom part.

    I was so confused when I tried to flick the light on and there was nothing there.

    I still know how to use a pen despite not using it for months. Though when I was in elementary school I remember my penmanship became very sloppy/wobbly when I came back to school after summer vacation.

    Every time I let my mind wander off while walking around the house in a daze, I always find myself going to the kitchen and grabbing a plate. So uhh yes

    Lucky you. My muscle memory is to take a knee and orientate towards any sudden loud noises. And I still retain a habit of tilting a rifle to check if the bolt is seated right every time I cock it (comes from the tendency of the old M-16 to only chamber halfway if you didn't pull the charging handle back far enough for the spring to slam it close all the way).

    Al least people don't look at you funny when you use a sewing machine. They do when you dive for cover.

    Computer keyboard and piano keyboard. Especially the piano, I suck at it so I practice until I can play purely by muscle memory.

    many times esp with things i did best in, riding bicycle after years of not doing it, riding motorcycle after months of not doing it, even when i traslate novels, it's particularly made me able to adapt quickly without any trouble and same with socialization lol idk if this is count in too but i realized that i still am able to socialize with ppl after months of shutting in alone with my novels lol
