i fixed our oven. researched it, bought the part from a professional oven part supplier. fixed it, and afterwards saw the slip of paper that came with the part saying that i shouldn't install the part myself unless i'm a professional oven repair man. i'm not. but i did.
i fixed our freezer that was leaking icy water all over our kitchen floor. took the whole thing apart. fixed it. put it back together again. our freezer is dry and cold, as is our kitchen floor.
i fixed our washing machine. i can't remember what was wrong with it anymore. but i remember pulling it all apart and making it work again.
recently, my computer said to me, "i wanna break down." i said, "not yet." then i massaged it, and it said, "okay, i'll keep working for you." and it has.
i cleaned our AC filter. made our air conditioner work better.
but i can't fix everything, and that pisses me off.
i wanna have all the tools.
i wanna have all the knowledge.
i don't want to rely on anybody else any more. ever again. other people are unreliable and cost money.
i'm reliable and cheap.
my car AC is broken. i tried to fix it. i couldn't.
our pipes leaked poo poo and pee pee water all over our backyard yesterday, and there were concerns that it would back up into the house. i tried to fix that. i couldn't.
i tried to install a roof for our deck. i didn't.
the whirligig on the top of our house is still dented. i just need to go get one and it'll be fine. but i haven't gotten one yet.
i don't like paying other people to do what i can do myself. and i don't like it when there are things that i can't do myself. i SHOULD'VE been able to fix my car AC. don't know why it didn't work. we paid a guy to come out and look at our plumbing, and he did EXACTLY what i had done yesterday, except with his fancy electric plumber's tools... and he also went into the manhole, which i didn't do primarily because i don't know where our manhole is... and if i had fancy plumber electric augers and such, i could've saved us a buttload of money and fixed the issue. my wife's passenger side car lock won't lock or unlock via remote, and i can't fix that, either. yeah, i've taken the car door apart and i can see what's going on, but i can't figure out a solution. my phone won't sync with my computer, and my wife's phone won't charge sometimes. our backdoor doesn't always close so that we can lock it. i can't get promoted. i don't know how to fix everything. i don't have a solution for everything. and it makes me really, really tired. and grumpy. and depressed. and i feel stupid or lazy, like if i just applied myself i would know the stuff or be able to figure it out. if we plug our window AC unit into the outlet directly under the window and not use an extension cord into the bathroom, it will flip our breakers. i don't know how to rewire the house, or outfit that circuit for more volts than it currently will handle, and that's what YouTube tells me i need to do. electricity scares me. i have no plastic tools and electricity hurts a lot. have you ever licked a 9V battery? i have. painful. even more painful than that is getting shocked by stuff. that shit hurts.
i wish i knew spanish so i wouldn't have to rely on anyone else to translate shit for me.
i wish i knew everything, had all tools, wasn't afraid of electricity, and wasn't poor.
i would make a car that runs off shit. seriously, i would. it's called methane, bitches, and yeah, it may be a leading contributor to greenhouse gasses when it's burned, but i wouldn't have to pay for gas ever again. i came up with a solution for electric cars, but i don't know how to make batteries and i don't own any gas stations, property, or have money to buy any of that.
shit's stupid.
