My husband was recently out of town for a few days and several things came up while he was gone that I wish I could have handled on my own. Nothing earth shattering, but Lola had a raspy cough and I had no clue how to work the humidifier. After struggling with it for a while and ultimately giving up, it made me think and start a list of practical things I need to learn… you know, just in case.
Here’s what ended up on my (what is sure to be an ever growing) useful everyday type things I should know list:
I’m embarrassed by a couple of these, especially drive a stick shift. Considering my husband sells beautiful vintage classic cars for a living and none of them are automatic, it’s a life skill that I should have learned years ago!
I have never had a problem asking for help or calling a professional, but I’d rather be able to do it (whatever it is) on my own. Now to share my list with my teacher and book some of his time.
Are there any tasks around your house or life skills you need/want to learn?

I would love to know how to change a tire. I’ve told David and he still has never taught me. He says I would not be able to get the lug nuts off. Boo.
I learned to drive with a stick shift, but my first car (and cars after that) have always been automatic, so yes, I fail there. If it comes down to it, and I HAD to drive one, I suppose I could?
I have always wanted to learn how to change a flat tire too. What else?? Hmm.. I used to want to learn how to drive a stick shift but now that desire has faded…
Wow, I can’t think of anything else right now… Maybe, make a pot roast… or another big meal like that…haha
