In Sink

I haven't been very good about keeping up to date with my exploits. Part of it has been because I haven't had much interesting to say and part of it has been because I have been in a bit of a slump with respect to doing one thing a day.

Yesterday was a good day. I did something that I had been continuously putting off for probably the better part of a year. It wasn't anything earth shattering, but somewhere in the back of my mind it has been giving me grief. I suppose that really was the point of finally doing it, to get that thing, however trivial, off my mind.

One of the faucets in the bathroom has been broken, probably since I first moved into this house. It still worked, but the handle would always fall. Part of why it was never replaced was because any replacement I liked was expensive and since there are two sinks, you can't really just replace one. The other part was that despite the inconvenience and irritation of a handle always falling off, it was still basically functional.

About a year ago, we bought new faucets. I kept putting it off because I am not a particularly adept handyman and home improvement projects leave me easily frustrated. Well, yesterday I finally got the faucets replaced with the help of my Dad. His help was much appreciated, not only because it saved me a lot of frustration, but also because I am no longer carrying that one thing around in my head.
