DRAWER FIXING PROJECT: Seven broke the drawer that was already half broken, I showed it to Mike and he suggested wood glue. I smeared wood glue all around the seams where the bottom of the drawer kept collapsing and let it sit overnight. I thought this was very impressive and inventive until I found a dozen blogs suggesting gluing your Ikea furniture when you initially put it together. I’m going to see how it holds up to the weight of Seven + clothes and then do the rest of the drawers.
BACK UP MY LIVELIHOOD PROJECT: In college I had a clicking laptop hard drive on the verge of collapse and was forced into buying a fancy $250 Lacie external drive at the apple store. It saved my ass that day and promptly died a couple months later. I was burned! Ever since I’ve been wary of these things, despite their absolute necessity for someone like me. Finally acknowledging how terrible it would be to have no portfolio, I found this 250gb Passport drive online for $40 and it is way smaller, way cuter, and hasn’t died yet (I received it today). Time Machine makes it really easy to back up your machine – I took a nap and it was done!
I plan on continuing to solve problems for myself and others, so check back for more things you already know about. Like rubbing your clothes together to get the deodorant off, slob.
