So . . . until I've used the thing a few times and am feeling more confident about it . . . <BR/><BR/>It does have an acutal pressure gauge on it (which I replaced, so it's brand new) which is why I'm okay with using it at all. <BR/><BR/>I did find TWO leaks this morning. Not where I expected them at all, but I put plastic under them and a bucket. <BR/><BR/>And Max--I go back and forth between "oh, good. We can do something here." and feelings of worry and guilt and other generally unhelpful emotions. <BR/><BR/>"We must have waffles and think!"

That's har...I'm so sorry your trip didn't work out. That's hard. It's so not fun being a grown up. I hope you have a wonderful, productive weekend anyway.<BR/><BR/>That's interesting about the visual issues with Max (I mean, I'm sorry, but it's good you know).<BR/><BR/>Thanks to my grandma and her admonitions to stay out of the kitchen while she was using the pressure cooker, I have a genuine pressure-cooker phobia.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you much work progress and miraculous roof-repair.<BR/><BR/>StaciStaci Eastinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107996901556804274noreply@blogger.com
