You ever feel simultaneously brilliant/accomplished and dumb? Yeah, that's me this evening. I had to replace the inner door handle of my car today, and did it without looking anything up. The old one broke a while back, but was still functional enough, but a few days ago broke off completely, making it nearly impossible to open from the inside without a lot of effort. Thankfully, I drive a '95 Toyota, and a bare-bones one at that, so nothing fancy required. But, as part of the old one was broken, I had a decent idea of how things went, but juuuuust slightly off. Wasted a good twenty minutes trying to get the metal hook go over the inner handle part, only to realize after much frustration that it went through, not around. Oof. On the other hand, I figured it out and fixed my car all by myself. I feel every bit as accomplished as when I had to replace my toilet seat, which had unusual bolts that were incredibly difficult to remove. Makes me feel like a proper adult.

Also, dang, I've been silent here for far too long. I refuse to just peter out! There have definitely been a lot going on over the past few months, but I shall have to reserve that for another time. Dang, but it's fun to type with this super-clicky keyboard I bought on Black Friday. Clicky-clacky! Far too expensive, but I haven't regretted it! Nor the upgraded video card. I use the keyboard more often than the card, but still.
