after less than fortyeight hours of wrestling with revelation, realization and resolution, i am back with my A-game and wrestled with new territory, the toilet.
maybe, i am the last woman to manhandle the toilet, but i figured out & changed out the floaty thang without calling a man. in the early spring at the old house, the other floaty thang had needed it and i had to hire my plumber, but was shamed afterwards by one of my student's "but, miss, that is so easy, even my grandma could do it!". so, a shoutout is in order to gabriel for shaming me into manning up.
the second truck was unloaded and i returned it this morning...so this week is full of unpacking.
oh, and belated birthday wishes to my mama. i was too tired to make her cranberry margaritas last night, much less drink one...but i owe her a few.

Well done you!
I'm not allowed to use Jay's tools.
He has good reasons.
Congratulations. I've done a few house things, but not that one.
can i cuss here?????????
nah. i better not!
rock on! <------said with much intensity.
ohhhhh, the next forty ... all yours!
I know the feeling of fixing the loo yourself. I used to always call my neighbor. At least she's a woman. I like a woman who knows how to use tools. I wanna be.
I wouldn't have expected you to do anything less...I've always known you could do anything you put your mind to!
XOXO
Hey...look in the round thing between handle and tank - there you are! lol
Good Job on the toilet!!
When you finally get a chance to relax with a cranberry margarita...please post the recipe, it sounds delish!!
Here's to many more success stories!
Color me impressed! I have no idea how to do that.
Are you at the top of the hump yet at least - with the unpacking? On the downhill slope? I hope so.
Happy Birthday to your Mama. My mama is here visiting from Houston. We are having so_much_fun together.
love you -

You rock! I love it when a woman can do a man thing like that! I've fixed my toilet a few times and I even fixed the tie-rod on my garden tractor once. Being a woman-on-her-own can bring out the best in us!!
XOXOXOX
