Random conversation at Casa de Wellman- Deep realizations

Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about getting a new tub in the guest bathroom. The one that’s there is original to the house, which means 70’s, which means dinky, and generally old and busted. There’s also an old and busted faucet leak that wants fixing, so handling one means the rest can all get taken care of, too. Win win.

Ish. Rick has never done a plumbing project quite this big before. And I don’t really have either the time or the inclination to assist, what with those 57,000 other projects going on in the Arisphere.

So as he clicked ‘Buy’ on the amazing new whirlpool tub we picked, a musing came to me that led to this conversation.

 

Me- Now I know what it’s like for you when I say ‘I’m going to go write a book!’

Rick- How’s that?

Me- Well, I can’t really do anything to help except listen and give lots of ideas that may or may not be helpful and kind of cheer you on. And like you know you will get to read the book someday, I know I will get to soak in the tub!

Rick- Sounds about right. Except…

Me- Except what?

Rick- Well, not really… but was thinking when you write a book you know what you’re doing, but that’s not always true.

Me, laughing uproariously- oh my god, that is SO far from true!

 

Wishing Rick well on his tubly adventure, while I go back to mine.
