How Things Get Fixed

During our 56 years together, Peter and I had a very workable division of labor.  For example, he didn’t iron anything, and I didn’t do anything that required a screwdriver.  He mowed the lawn, and I watered the plants.  Etc.

So, in the almost three years that I have been on my own, I’ve learned a thing or two.  (Luckily, I don’t have a lawn anymore.) My latest challenge:  a loose toilet seat, the result of a houseful of overnight company (not that I am blaming anyone in particular).

First, I tried on my own, but I failed in my attempt to get access to the screws that held the seat in place.  Then I googled “tighten Toto toilet seat”.  Five minutes later, mostly spent digging out the correct two screwdrivers, problem solved.

You gotta love Google.

The reason I love having moved into an apartment when we downsized.
I don't even change light bulbs anymore, All I have to do is call maintenance.

I recently fixed a wobbly toilet seat for the first time and felt wonderful about it!

It was great that you were able to do it yourself. Very empowering! Google and YouTube videos are so helpful and I've learned so much from other people that I always start a project with a search.
