I am not a good instructions follower but I am a good perfectionist 🙈 Relate so much to the needing to have things perfect to achieve or just do anything in life. Its a slow long process to undo.
Blame can be a wonderful outlet for frustration… when directed at a doorknob. 😉 😊
Funny-not-funny side note is that I even took special care to notice which direction the old one was facing before I removed it… yet still got distracted and reinstalled the new one backwards. 😝
I have installed some seriously challenging doorknobs in many houses, and it never occurred to me to read the instructions. I mean, those instructions are designed for a perfect world, and that ain't where I live. Apparently neither do you, and that makes this world feel way better.
Wait, you're saying you can just do your thing, make mistakes, fix the mistakes... and no one cares??? You mean I don't have to read the instructions letter by letter, triple-check everything, and get it perfect the first time? 🤯
Aww Kathy, thank you so much for reading and being so endlessly generous with your kind words. 💗 I'm thrilled that you are here, and the encouragement to keep going is VERY appreciated!

It sure is a long process! The little wins along the way are definitely worth celebrating 💛
I made the same error with door knob installation after painting a door. Of course, I blamed the door knob.

Nice. Sounds like me, only I didn't even bother to notice the direction prior to removal.
I still blame the door knob for not knowing how to "fit in."
😂 😂

You’re the best Robin.
But dang am I glad this doorknob was an easy one 😉

Weird, right?? And so many perfectly good self-judgments going to waste! But it’s worth it. 💕
You have done it again! A new day a total capture of my interest and attention! Thank you for posting another terrific read! Never stop writing!
