My favorite movies are not in theaters, Netflix, or Amazon.
They are on You Tube and are home improvement videos.
I have a shameful ceiling in my bathroom: nasty peeling paint. I have learned the ways of the sander and the primer, and shall apply them soon.
I have learned the magic of replacing hinges.
I have come to know Dap and Kilz. I can ask for help and haul-outs. My water heater shall arrive and be placed on a new platform. I have a dehumidifier which cheerfully keeps down the musty old house smell.
The small repairs are adding up.
I rule the little world of my house.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
