Things I’ve learned from my partner

Cell phones can be balanced on the top of a chair back. Or on the corner of a towel rack. Or on an oven handle bar. Or flat on the floor.

Headphones don’t generally wash well.

Keys are fungible. If your partner tends to lose theirs, you might want to find a secret hiding place for yours.

LaCroix is pretty tasty. It’s okay to get it just because it’s more fun.

Guiding a wire through an attic is more fun when someone’s waiting for you with the ladder.

Wires are useful. As are drills. And vacuums.

Still, there can be too many wires. And perhaps drills. But maybe not vacuums.

Flint helps start campfires.

Taming wild eyebrows is pretty gratifying.

I’ll probably never treat mornings with the sanctity some people expect.

We can get better at the relationships we already have.

Laughter is nearly always a moment away, if you know where to look.

Hugs make life better, no matter how the day is going.

It’s okay to let someone else hold down the fort sometimes.
