We slept for a really long time last night, and woke up feeling pretty good. The girls were up around the same time, so Summer took them home while I got started tearing my toilet apart. It could have been a simple three minute fix to replace the lever arm, but I was tired of the flapper valve getting stuck on the chain because it was oriented incorrectly, so I decided to strip out all of the hardware and completely rebuild it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer met me at Lowe’s in the afternoon so we could walk around and browse for some deals too. They didn’t have anything great, but I got a little Frankenstein pot with a succulent in it for half off after Halloween. It was nice just to shop around for a bit together without dragging the kids around too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afterward, I went to my parents’ house because they made some b\u00e1nh gi\u00f2. I helped them move some plants around in preparation for the potential frost, and then I picked at some older leftovers for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the way back home, I stopped by a house near the end of the street where someone recently moved out, and picked up a huge sheet of half-inch acrylic and a couple other little things. Then I got to work putting the toilet back together. Now I’m ready for the next project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After spending all day fixing a toilet, I think I know my useless superpower. I can do things in super slow motion, while appearing to move at regular speed.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We slept for a really long time last night, and woke up feeling pretty good.
