Handyman (sorta)

When someone asks me if I’m handy, I respond, “Of course, I just outsource everything, though.” The reality is, I am not that great with tools. Recently, we had a flood in our laundry room and basement. The damage was extensive but not as bad as it should have been. When talking to insurance, I got the compliment that I acted quickly and am more handy than I give myself credit for. That one compliment was enough to give me confidence that I had permission to trust myself. I’m still not great with tools, but perhaps better than all the deficiencies I can see.
