I spend most of my time afraid. Afraid that stuff is going to break and I won't be able to fix it. My budget is very limited and so I do my own repairs.

I have zero confidence unless I am manic. Then I am super woman and can do anything. I replace faucets and put shingles on my roof and fix my lawn mower.
I also get crafty and crochet stuff and sew blankets. I get OCD and scour volumes of information on fitness and healthy eating or whatever else strikes my fancy.

Then the mania goes away. I hide in my house and watch the dust settle. Whatever didn't get done will have to wait until the next round. Sigh.
