    I NEED SKILLS

    I really lack plumbing skills. Had a leaky toilet. It had two broken parts. Took me four hours to fix but I broke one additional thing in the process. I guess I still ended up with 50% less “brokeness”…

    I NEED SKILLS!!!!!! and also how about learning to balance better or just not do dumb things like going down our hardwood floor stairs in socks. Yup, this morning my feet flew out from under me and instead of landing on my nicely cushioned tush ;=) I landed smack on my side, knocked the wind out of me and ended in a heap on the floor. Actually, it was so bad I couldn’t even walk for two hours and had to call my mom to come take me to the dr. Fortunately, it is only a nice BIG contusion, but I still could barely move all day.
