I'm doing 29 things
I finally replaced the faucet and the drain. I won’t call this done as I have to caulk around the sink and the backsplash. I also have to find a way to attach the vanity to the wall. It is just sitting there loose. Getting the metal ring out of the sink drain was the most time consuming. I hope to get the sink caulked over the next couple of days. Once the sink is caulked then I have to remove and replace the caulking around the tub/shower.

How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: I didn't complete all of the dares, but I had a good time trying. I love reading everyone elses entries. I hope to someday complete all 43 dares. Read how I did it…
It made me
Satisfied 
How I did it: I learned that I got angry and frustrated when I didn't leave as early as I like. I am able to ignore the problems that set me off when I have plenty of time. I leave extra early and use the driving time to practice the languages I am learning. I don't feel like the time in the car is a waste any longer, and I don't get upset because I know I won't be late since I leave extra early. Read how I did it…
It made me
safer and happy
How I did it: I got the shop vacuum read, the socket set, a flash light, and a towel to lean on. I took off the outside bottom panel of the dryer and then opened the door and removed the screws to loosen the lint trap guard. I put the screws in a container right away so I would not lose them. I got down on the floor with the flashlight and the vacuum and carefully vacuumed out the inside of the dryer (from the front and from the insid… Read how I did it…

Its nice to go on walks with a destination in mind. My granddaughter doesn’t seem to mind walking anywhere if I tell her a destination. We have good talks while we are walking and I get to find out what is going on in her head. We got to one of our favorite city parks, and we discovered some of her school friends there. She had a great time. The dog got a good long walk. I felt like I gave my granddaughter a good day.
I have finally started working on replacing the bathroom sink faucet. The handle for the hot water broke at least a year ago if not longer. The hot water could be turned on but it was messy looking. I bought a faucet a couple of months ago, and I have been putting off doing the replacement because I wasn’t sure how to get the old faucet out. I started yesterday. It will probably take me a couple of days to complete because of everything else going on right now. It will get done. I will hopefully tackle the toilet next. I have new guts for the toilet longer than I have had the faucet. I want to get that installed before the toilet starts running. I don’t want to pay for water we are not really using.
