Psychotomy

So, baby’s changing table is coming apart. the dowel connects keep popping out , which makes me leary of how secure it is for babe to lay on when changing, jaknow?

so i figure i’ll glue it back together. i meant to pick up wood glue or something at target, or look at my options at least. maybe hit home depot later this week for something. kiir reminds me we bought super glue a couple months back for another task (one of her ceramic fairies’ wings snapped … i still need to do that step, oops)

great! so i clear off the table, lay it down, realign everything. open the tiny superglue tube and squeeze some in. now, i’m expecting some kind of gel-like substance. b/c the box says all this good stuff about how a gel-like bonder is best. instead i keep getting stuff that looks like water (and flows like water) … but whatever.

I put some on, i press the pieces together … pop apart again as soon as i let go … ok, i’ll hold it longer … no … OK, i’ll try this side, maybe put on some more, that kind of thing …

I learned two things during this:

1) super glue isn’t worth SHIT! it don’t adhere a damned thing you want it to!
2) super glue is quite strong, as long as you’re accidentally bonding your fingers together! CRAP!

then i soaked my hand in nail polish remover and decided it was time for a beer instead. screw this. I’ll by something else, or maybe screws :o
