Today as I was walking down the hall today at work a thought came to mind. I don’t regret not becoming a teacher.
I will admit when I first left MLC I was a little afraid I would regret the decision someday. Today is not someday 🙂 Though the thought was barely there it was there. I mean, I had been talking about being a teacher since the fourth grade! I had been playing teacher since the seventh grade. Teaching is in my blood. Yet, it was not for me. I loved the years I taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible school but I do remember it was not easy. Vacation Bible School was one of the most tiring weeks. Planning took a long while but I had a partner to help with it all 🙂
I went to the Chiropractor today and her sister used to be a teacher. She did it for a year, found out it was not the job for her and went back to school for nursing. I found that story such an incredible inspiration! Going for one-degree finishing school doing the job for a year and not being afraid to go back for a new degree. How amazing!!
Ok, now my exciting news!!
I fixed the toilet! The story behind that weird comment. There is a toilet in my house that has randomly run throughout the day since I bought the house over a year ago. My mom made a comment about how that was weird and it shouldn’t do that. So, that had to be fixed.
I went to Ace today and picked up the new parts. This afternoon I took up the project of fixing the toilet. Ok, so I thought this project would be challenging but easy enough to do. So I went to work. I turned that water off I disconnected the piping and I started removing pieces. The piece that was supposed to be easy to remove was not moving! It would not budge! It took me about 45 minutes to realize that there was a nut still holding it on from underneath.
After I removed that nut all was well and the rest of the process went pretty good! The instructions left out one detail about a washer. As in they didn’t say what to do with it. Now the washer was hard to put on the unit. After I made the mistake of not putting it on, connecting and turning the water on and making a bit of a mess…yes there was a slight lake for a second. I took apart the toilet again and put the washer on reassembled everything and then all was great!!!
