363 Marbles
I’m at a point where I want a man in my life – but not in my house! Just come in, attach the VCR, and get out.

After my success with the shower-head yesterday, I’ve adapted a new motto, “Tools are friends.” Today I tackle an even bigger project – cupboards and gates.
When my relationship was becoming un-hinged, so were two of my kitchen cupboards as well as the gate to the yard. For some reason, I thought that these do-it-yourself projects were something that males of the species had more propensity for, so I left them for Ex-man to deal with. It never happened.
Today I feel the inclination to tackle the projects myself. I go to the hardware store and buy a new kitchen cupboard hinge (do you believe they actually sell those things?!) I come home and take out my handy tool kit and replace the hinge. The other hinge just needs adjustment. Yippee! I’m quite proud of myself. The doors to the cupboard are now secure.
The gate is trickier. I take it down, reinforce it, then reattach it to the fence. Voila! Hinged and functioning again!
Are there projects that need to be done that your ex would normally tackle? Could you acquire the skill-set to do it yourself? It’s amazing what you can learn on Youtube – a girl barely needs to leave home these days.
