Faucet Fail

My kitchen sink faucet is inadequate. I would like to change it, but the underside is inaccessible because of the narrow space between the sink and the wall. I would have to remove the sink from the counter top, and that would cause a cascading series of events in the kitchen which I am not prepared to face right now.

The biggest problem with the faucet is the water flow. It’s way too low. I thought maybe some mineral buildup might be the problem, so I got one of those mineral-dissolving cleaners at the store so I could soak the aerator. I was not able to remove it, so I had to rig a setup with a sandwich bag.

It didn’t work. Dang. I guess I’ll have to keep dealing with a cruddy faucet for now.

    Dang, indeed. They have those long extension wrenches, but just being able to see under a sink is a back-hurting process.

    I’m impressed with your rig, though. Nicely taped. πŸ˜€

    You did not ask for my opinion. I acknowledge that. πŸ™‚

    I vote you hire someone.
    Some things aren’t worth the stress.

      My thoughts exactly! I know how much you “enjoy” the DIY lifestyle, but every once in a while a “trained and licensed professional” is indeed required…kinda like traditional schools (vs. home schooling?) with “trained and licensed professional” teachers such as yourself πŸ™‚

Tray Talk

Yesterday I went to the orthodontist for a checkup on my tooth tray progress. While I was waiting, this was on the screen right in front of me:

It’s all my teeth!

They asked how it was going. I said I could feel my bite changing, which is so interesting. My bottom tooth that’s so crooked is touching the back of my top front teeth now.

I also said that I like to slide the trays back and forth across each other when they’re dry, because they make a squeaking sound. I thought it was only a sound in my head, but I’ve been told it’s audible. Oops.

They gave me my fourth set of trays. As with each time I switch, I can feel the sideways pressure. It’s uncomfortable, but bearable. For this next group of trays, I’m supposed to wear each set for ten days, then switch to the next set. I would never remember, so I told my phone to remind me in ten days to switch.

Serene Sunday

I needed some plant therapy yesterday, so I went to my favorite garden center. It was nice.

While I was out, I got some materials for my backyard garden. I worked out there a little. I started a few things, but didn’t finish any of them, so there are no “after” pictures.

I wish I had more time at home. I like working in my garden and doing various house projects.

Strange Store

I did a little window-shopping yesterday morning. I drove past a place I had never seen. The sign said something about “last chance”. I went in to check it out.

There was a whole jumble of stuff on tables, and everything there was $10. Apparently, they bring stuff in on Thursday, and start selling it on Friday for $12. Then it gets progressively cheaper until Wednesday, when everything is $1.

I may check it out some Wednesday…

Pudding and Plants

The last day of Teacher Appreciation week began with an amazing gift: home made rice pudding. Yum!

The note made me chuckle. Do I like rice pudding? YES! And it was delicious.

Several kids brought me plants over the course of the week. They are beautiful and fragrant and glorious. I brought them home so I could enjoy them in the evenings.
