Like-me

 

Hoses do not like me.

They do not want to stretch or thread the fittings or coil up.  They want to leak, turn this way and not that, and be way too heavy.

Dog training devices do not like me.  

They do not want to quiet barking,  prompt obedience... immediately, or remember to stay in my pocket.  If I have a pocket.  They want to hide, run out of charge, or be too complicated.  

Filter covers do not like me. 

They do not want a screwdriver, or at least the right size screwdriver, or release the screw with the right screwdriver.  They want to strip screws, collect dust forever, or be too far out of reach anyway. 

This day isn't going well.  Nothing seems to like me. 

How do I get my stuff to like me?  

I need more strength, more know-how, more skill, more command.  That's a lot of things to need.  Maybe I'll just wait for help.

Tomorrow I will get out my sewing machine.  I know it likes me.  

 

New hose to replace my broken hose.  

Good grief
