Handy Around the House
I miss being in the same house as someone who is handy around the house. My ex was a total loss when it came to even the simplest household repairs and yard tasks. I did as much as I could on my own, but my own skills are limited to gardening and decorating.
I’ve been at my dad’s house near Washington. DC for the last week and it has been fun to just poke around in his work room off of the garage. He has all sorts of air tools and gadgets. He even has this little wall where he has nailed baby food jar lids to pegboard, so he can just screw the jars onto the lids and they will be all nicely stored up on the wall. He puts nails and screws and little things in those jars, all neatly sorted. He actually used to use that trick when I was growing up, as well.
I have to keep reminding myself that the next time I get married (IF I choose to even bother), I want that man to be handy around the house.
