Weekend Challenge: Tackling Domestic Challenges

[thatwasjustadream]

Am hoping K & H won't mind, but I didn't see a weekend challenge so thought I would jump in. This week: getting down to household brass tacks. Yeah, it's all wonderful for your fictional darlings to be out there saving the world on the daily, solving crimes, or wreaking villainous havoc - but sooner or later they're going to have to whip the homestead into shape.

Let me know you're in, and I'll give you a domestic chore or crisis or whew-not-a-crisis-after-all that either myself or people around me have been tackling lately. Let's see if they inspire some words!

PS - I might take a bit to reply - I've got to work on the basement before the heating systems guy gets here ....

The first two years I owned my house--our A/C went out the hottest week of the summer. So far... so good. *knocks on wood table*

Ugh. Timing really is everything! Hope it holds up this time. I'm used to apartment life and having a super in the building. Having to navigate taking care of my own place has been ....fun? A learning experience for sure.

It really is. We're almost through the real heat (although we're through our 100+ days) and it held up!

Yeah it really is a learning experience. I always lived in apartments or my mom's house... but never in a building with a super. But at least I could call my landlord and say "Something broke."
