<\/p>\nI do.<\/p>\n
You don’t believe me?<\/p>\n
Here’s proof:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My toilet had been running continuously, so I set out to replace the flapper.<\/p>\n
Flapper replaced, I filled the tank (sans the space taken up by my Dorothy Lynch dressing bottles of water) with water and added food coloring.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the blue food dye quickly leaked into the bowl, indicating that my fix had NOT solved the problem.<\/p>\n
So I disassembled the toilet again and did some troubleshooting.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s that hard water deposit on the what’sit there. <\/p>\n
My Xacto knife came out and I scraped the deposit off.<\/p>\n
I refilled the tank and added red dye this time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Nope. That wasn’t it either.<\/p>\n
Then I broke the ceramic urn thing I keep on the back of my toilet.<\/p>\n
So I super glued it back together.<\/p>\n
Then I super glued a ceramic figurine I’d broken months ago back together.<\/p>\n
Then I discovered that I’d super glued my fingers together.<\/p>\n
Xacto knives are great for removing excess glue from random surfaces–but be careful when removing excess glue from fingers.<\/p>\n
Postscript: My pastor preached out of Proverbs 31 this Sunday–and I can’t help but think of Mrs. 31 as I go about my not-always-routine day-to-day tasks. Did Mrs. 31 ever have to deal with a toilet that just won’t be fixed? I know Mrs. 31 wouldn’t leave half of her dishes over to the next day. But then again, Mrs. 31 didn’t have to spend 8 (or 10) hours at work each day, did she? I vacillate between inadequacy and pride as I compare myself. Which completely misses the point, I remind myself. FEAR GOD, Rebekah. That’s what make you a Ms. 31 (not whether or not you leave dishes on the counter or succeed in fixing your toilet.)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
