Accomplished, Memory I bought a drill, with lots of volts, a present for a friend. So when he got another one, my night would never end. Returned it to the hardware store at 5 o'clock today and came home with computer desk, so heavy, did it weigh. It's many parts we carried up the steps to second flight. That voice inside gave quiet scream remembering that night when once before the two of us, my husband then would fight when following directions that were never written right. The pictures were in faded ink, the numbers were too many. My glasses worn, were fogged from steam of heated words of plenty. But this time, friend and I just laughed while sipping tea and chatting. Such fun it was to share in this and give ourselves back patting. We worked and sweated hours, 5 until we did complete the desk, a present for our friend who was sofa'd fast asleep. I sliced a piece of birthday cake to take back home with me. With smile I am contented with accomplished, memory.

Why thank you jw... I have been helping my friend who has cancer. We wanted to buy him a cordless drill because he is renovating a house. But his brother beat me to it. I knew why I didn't want to get that desk..because I remembered past times of putting one of those together. But this was fun...maybe because of who it was for and maybe because the other friend and I enjoyed our mistakes. hugs and thanks M |
