When You Don’t Got The Tools, Make Something Up

I was on my knees a lot in the last two days.

Our washing machine flooded today. I panicked. I screamed. I cursed. I called Jay.

In that order.

Then I looked for a mop, but it was in our old garage. I got on my knees and started scooping water WITH A DUSTPAN—yes, it was that deep—and throwing it out.

Speaking of the old house…

A day ago, I was in the old house sweeping large amounts of sawdust (from Jay’s sanding) into piles for disposal.

I looked around for a dustpan, but I couldn’t find one. Of course it was in this house for use in case of flooding. I had a mop, but no dustpan.

I got on my knees and started scooping piles of sawdust into the trashbag WITH MY HANDS.

When you don’t have what you need, when you need it…Er, I dunno.

Make something up.
