Faucet Handle is fixed!

My nemesis for the past 5 months was the hot water handle to my
bathroom faucet. Actually it was my nemesis for about 3 days...then
I just got used to using Holly's hot water handle. For 5 months I've had
"fix faucet" on my to do list.

And now it is crossed off. The fog finally lifted and I sat down in front
of the computer...mentally prepared to trudge through the internet to
find an answer..I mean...it's taken me this long to get to it...so I must
have known subconsciously that it was just going to take waaaay too long.

Approximately 10 minutes later (this is total time...internet...finding
the screwdriver...walking up and down the steps 3 or 4 times
because I took parts of the faucet upstairs when they should have
been downstairs and vice versa) my bathroom sink now offers hot water.

So my learning is this: take things on when they pop up. Because if
you don't you'll adapt to the situation...but that doesn't make it right...
and adapting will sometimes take us away from who we're supposed to be.

Sadly...I've learned this lesson before. But now I'll remember.

Nice. This is one of the best things a husband/dad can do, I think: be JohnnyOnTheSpot at the INSTANT we're called upon.
