I’m so fortunate to have a man who knows how to do stereoconsistently manly things around the house.
I somehow hit the jackpot and ended up with a guy who can spend the afternoon diagnosing and repairing intricate car concerns, the afternoon doing physical work and fixing things around the house, and the evening charcoal grilling us a delicious meal, topped off with a perfectly designed cocktail.
I don’t know how this human being exists, however I couldn’t be happier with my mate. He is, however, a little bullheaded and occasionally gets himself into trouble with his insistence on fixing things! For example, he recently decided that instead of paying an Heating and Air Conditioning professional to come perform routine repair on our heating and cooling systems, he would learn how to do all the work himself. He went to work learning about air conditioner machines and traditional furnaces, and soon had learned everything the internet had to offer on the usual services that these Heating and Air Conditioning components require for a long and efficient life. He went outside to tinker around with the AC unit, tools in hand, and I waited with bated breath to find out whether or not our cooling device was going to be irreparably damaged. I heard a big bang and a single swear, before my hubby emerged inside, holding his hand in a towel. The a/c had fought back, and managed to wound him enough to put the rest of the repair servicing on the back burner for a few afternoons, even though he has vowed to be victorious versus the AC.
