I didn’t go out to a Halloween party yesterday night. The stress and anger over my costume was just not putting me into a party mood. That and I didn’t have the energy to repair it. So I went to a non-costume party at some friends.
When I got home I had more energy so I started doing the repairs. Some glue needed to dry overnight so it was better to do it earlier than later. A caulking gun would have been nice, but I don’t think it was truly necessary.
This morning I installed the new pieces. A few errors were made, but nothing too serious. However, when I tried it on this morning, there was some groaning sounds. That is not good on a mechanical device. Although my repairs were fine, it revealed another problem.
When I picked up my wings on Thursday they had been bound up so that they took up less room. Now that I think about it, they may have been like that for an entire year. I guess the stress caused one of the wings to come loose. Now the new weight is causing the right one to droop.
I think a bolt just needs to be tightened. The problem this time is that the bolt is inaccessible. I need to start ripping cloth apart to get to the attachment. And then I have to hope my theory is correct.
I’ve been trying to be forgiving of her. But now I despise her with the hate of a thousand burning suns.
