Home Fix-it

Before I met Marko, I was single for a looong time. I had lover(s) of course, but I preferred to fly solo. Which meant that I pretty much looked after myself. I was self sufficient and rather handy with a hammer.

However, ever since getting married, my DIY skills have deteriorated to a point where they are practically non-existent.

Marko has been away on a business trip this week, which means I have spent the entire week driving my car in total silence because my radio says it needs an access code and I have no idea what to do. I tried to read the instruction manual but it made me cross and irritated and so I gave up.

I have also not been able to print anything because there is a paper jam in my printer and I can’t see how to open the different compartments to get to the stuck piece of paper inside.

I used to know how to do stuff like that before I got married, now I just call Marko to do it for me. Marriage has made me soft and pathetic. It’s all his fault, obviously. Can’t possibly be mine.

Tertia is so right! I did just fine living alone, but I don’t think I’ve hung a picture since the boy moved in!

How about you?
