Eva’s Byte #405 – Making a Mend
Sure, there’s making amends by attempting to reconcile or resolve a wrong against someone. In regard to tangibles, if we can’t restore things to their former glory, there’s always mending when it comes to holding it together.
Not the least mechanically inclined except when it comes to the mechanics of writing, I often resort to making a mend with duct tape in a similar color as the offending object.
When a suction cup couldn’t support the weight of a suncatcher, two discreet strips of clear duct tape secured it to the window for good.
I used clear duct tape for interlocking two disjointed fan guards on an upright fan beside my elliptical trainer.
A small square of black duct tape covered a patch of sun-eroded leather on the console of my vehicle, blending in nicely.
In the capacity of a writer who mends/edits as I go along prior to the colossal grand editing at “the end,” I’m wending my way through the draft of chapter 27 (1229 words thus far) of my Contemporary work in progress.
*During the onset of adversity, may each of us find a way to hold it together.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.

Eva’s Byte #417 – My DIY Hack
In this day and age where the free-standing ironing board has become the ignored elephant in the room for lack of use, I’m the exception to the rule for relying on it. Venturing to go out on a limb, I’ll admit that I iron every day—even workout clothes not worn in public.
My DIY hack—a long time coming:
When I moved to my current residence fifteen years ago, I purchased a new ironing board. Removing it from the box, I discovered one of the slip pads was missing. So, I removed the other three for aesthetic balance. Type A individual that I am, the hollow legs bugged me.
Lo and behold, out of the blue, while acting in the capacity of a writer pounding the keyboard, a solution occurred to me in the guise of duct tape.
Grabbing a roll of black duct tape from my office cabinet, I cut an approximately 2 in. piece off the roll. Testing it out, I wrapped the tape around the bottom of the leg, covering the hollow space. Having created the perfect “pseudopod,” I repeated my procedure for the other three legs.
As for writing progress, I’m working my way through Part 2, Chapter 31 (924 words thus far) of my Contemporary work in progress.
*May each of us open our mind to envision what may not be apparent at first glance.
