Small accomplishment

The left rear turn signal on my car was out as was a bulb on the right.
I fretted about what to do. Usually my dad or husband would take care of it. Dad lives about 30 miles away and I don't have husband.
I looked up how to do online and watched a tutorial on YouTube.

Today I went to the nearby auto parts store a bought the bulbs. Came home and grabbed some tools. I went to my car did what the tutorial shown. It worked and it took less time than I thought.

I know this isn't big but I was glad I was able to do it.

I think this is really big. You did a great thing by fixing your car yourself. I'm glad you were able to do it.

I agree with everyone else, it is a big deal and you should pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

Jenn that is big!

That is a true accomplishment, to face down your fear, arm yourself with knowledge, and to go for it!

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
