A chick with a PHD that can also fix things around the house? That's fuckin' hot, not gonna lie.
;D You should see me with my toolbelt on. It’s leather.
I feel like you need to write a book about fixing your house because it sounds like it could have been a comedy of errors but you're handling it so well!
I will title it “Toilet in my Living Room and other Homeowner Adventures” because... I’ve had a toilet (in its box) in my living room for like... 9 months. Also. My oven is sitting there next to it. But hey. They’re finally next on the project list so... yay.
I love hearing about your home repairs. You're so very competent, and I'm so very not, so I love living vicariously through you fixing things. Also, the very thought of sticking my hand down the garburator gives me the heebies omfg.
I definitely put on my big girl panties and took a few deep breaths beforehand and repeated in my head “it won’t magically turn on, it won’t magically turn on. Even if it does it takes a second to start up and you have decent reflexes. But it won’t magically turn on!”
Super yikes. But on the other hand at least it was just a little fix and now it WORKS! Honestly, with this house, that is the smoothest a problem has been resolved so far. *fingers crossed it doesn’t like.... melt down randomly now*
