You know how when you break up with someone you care about and you're left momentarily feeling a little bewildered? Well, I didn't break up with a significant other. It was actually much worse. My all around "handyman" Mike; told me yesterday that he was more or less, getting out of the business and doing only two houses in the block where he lives.
In February his wife of forty some odd years left him, which totally messed him up. He wasn't handling it well at all and I advised him to seek therapy to help him cope. He told me he couldn't be around "power tools" and he had to get rid of his "gun" because he was afraid of what he might do! That's when I told him about therapy and depression drugs.
So anyway, I had asked him to fix a leak in my gutter and he said he would see to it in a couple of weeks, so when I didn't hear from him, I called him yesterday and that's when he told me he was going to quit his handyman repair business except for a few friends. I guess I was hurt because I really relied on him, and he was excellent at what he does. I thought I was one of his "special" customers. (Snort). What a joke! He dumped me! I have been dumped by the handyman! I feel worse then if I had been dumped by a boyfriend!!
Now that I got it off my chest, I firmly believe that when one door closes another door opens and I will find someone even better and possibly less expensive.
But really....HOW DARE HE? :-)

Just pile them up till I get there. It's hard to find someone to do the little jobs and harder to find someone that will show up. If I came out 2 times a year that should about do it.
