There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
I know I am a jumpy person. I could blame it on growing up in Texas, where the occasional scorpion or more common fire ant made you wary. Lots of things are poisonous there. I brought home a present from Texas once, and apparently rode with a black widow spider all the way back to Michigan. That still gives me the willies just thinking about it.
I found myself having to take a drive on this blustery day. That is the way it goes. I make an appointment, and inclement weather follows. Overdue Pap smear finally going to get done? Hello, blizzard! So of course today was rainy and windy and downright chilly.
We recently replaced our toilet seat. There wasn’t much wrong with the old one, to be honest. It was sturdy. It did the job required of it.
Except for one thing: the hinges. Oh dear God, the hinges. There were metal screws holding the hinges together. It got to the point where I didn’t know what was rusty water and what was, well, pee. Or a combination of the two. Being the only woman in the house, I knew the aim problem was not mine. JD still uses a potty shaped like a frog. So somehow, these screws and pieces were getting damp and nasty.
