Handy Lady!

So our garbage disposal broke last Sunday and this has happened about three times since we have lived here. We have lived here almost 2 years. Anyway, I had just been thawing some chicken in the sink and we pulled the plug and some chicken fell down and also some strawberry tops because I had forgotten about the broken disposal, but not things were getting messy and water was pooling in our sink! Not good and pretty gross too! We thought, "Oh no! Its Sunday and we can't even put in a work order for this to be fixed until Monday! Arg! Plus the fix it guy doesn't even come for a few days after the order has been placed. Usually it wouldn't be a big deal but you know, the circumstances caused for some worry. I decided to look up online to figure out what people do in real world about that problem when you don't have a fix it guy around to help. There was a website that stated the type of problem using physical example to be able to tell what it was and then it told you how to fix the problem. Ours was apparently an electrical issue. And also apparently most garbage disposals have a "reset" button on the bottom of the motor. I told Perry to look for that and push it and then try the switch. It worked! I was so proud of myself and Perry. We did a high five and felt very handy and self sufficient. I know it was an easy fix but it was our first time trying to fix something and it felt awesome. Its not like I will look forward to owning a house and fixing problems but it was sure satisfying to do it ourselves!
