Carol Perkins: Hamming It Up Previous Column: Too Much Relaxation By Carol Perkins If there is air in a drawer, I will fill the space. When overflowing, I pull the drawer out, sit in a chair, and "organize" for the hundredth time. I do the same thing with closets and shelves and the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, which brings me to this account. On garbage day, I roam the house looking for items to toss besides the usual garbage. This week I tackled the outside refrigerator/freezer. There were items too old to cook and too raccoon tempting to toss in the "fence row." Instead, I filled about half of a garbage bag with Guy declaring he couldn't lift it when I finished. As I was tossing the outdated fish pieces and freezer-burned vegetables long forgotten, an avalanche of frozen food, one coming faster than the other, headed downward just as I bent over to put something in the bag. I heard the rumble before I saw half of a frozen ham headed my way. I tried to deflect it with my elbow, but its force was stronger. That ham knocked me on the head-hard. Ouch! I yelled at no one. Immediately, I grabbed the back of my head and found a lump already forming. No blood, thank goodness, but the impact made me think I might have a concussion. Imagine the reaction at the ER when I said the blow to the head was from a frozen ham. After standing still for a minute, rubbing my head to ease the pain, I picked up the ham and put it in the refrigerator even though I wanted to kick it into the yard! I waited a second before going into the house. "I have something funny to tell you," I said, holding my head. After I finished, Guy rose from his chair. "Let me get this straight. You got hit in the head by a frozen ham?" Sometimes the "ham" in me comes out, but this time, I wasn't "hamming" it up, although the encounter ended up being funny.
