You seem prefectly fine to me.
I sew with my right shoe off, for some reason can't sew with it on, doesn't matter if I have a sock on or not, but can't sew with the shoe.
My husband is diabetic so I have all those nice plactic containers that the test strips come in, I separted all my machine needles by size and labeled them on the containers and put them in a plastic bin. Love those plastic bins, you can use them for everything.
