Our kitchen faucet is starting to get a bit leaky on us. The kitchen light became possessed by a rogue demon and had to be replaced, but not before a minor casualty involving the new light, unpreparedness, and gravity. It&#8217;s like we&#8217;re being attacked around here.<\/p>\n<p>This morning as I first roll out of bed I go to pee first, as all people do. I don&#8217;t truly wake up until the shower water hits me so I&#8217;m still pretty groggy as I move to open the Poo Parlor door (our potty has its own closet) and SMACK! I run right into the door before it opens. I make to open the door for real and . . . the knob doesn&#8217;t turn. Eh? Now I&#8217;m starting to wake up and I&#8217;m thinking, &#8220;I&#8217;m not THAT asleep, right? I can open the door, right? It&#8217;s not locked, I&#8217;m not an idiot; it&#8217;s not locked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After a few more unsuccessful tries I was really awake and apparently stuck to boot. I make enough noise to get Steven to see what the hell I&#8217;m doing. It takes us another ten minutes to get me out of there. Steven eventually had to take the door off the hinges; removing the doorknob did nothing except give us a peephole.<\/p>\n<p>When Lydia woke up later in the morning &#8212; banging the hinges off surprisingly didn&#8217;t pop her right out of bed &#8212; I told her my now-funny story. She had me retell it multiple times and even went to tour the damage.<\/p>\n<p>Now there&#8217;s a knobless door leaning against our bedroom wall, another item on the home improvement store list. Well, it could be worse. At least I didn&#8217;t get locked in there after releasing a huge global killer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately it seems our house is falling to pieces.
