Thalia attempts to release a clench by kneading one of Henny’s balls between a wall and her shoulder blades. “Well… Twaaaaaahsn’t eeeeee-zy, but we dihhhhd it! We got the heh-vee cart down.”
“Fixed and ready to roll on both wheels again.” Nia pushes against Tal’s chest to increase pressure.
“Grateful to you both… for bypassing procrastination. Thanks for calling our trash service for a fix… on the same day the roller went missing.” Calliope shudders. “Without you… I’d likely have one-wheeled the job for weeks on end.”
In delay there lies no plenty.
~William Shakespeare
A note from Loveletterist:
Last week on collection day, one of the wheels to our garbage cart went missing. Because the cart is their property, I called our service company. They said somebody'd come out for a repair next Thursday (today!). This morning I somehow managed to get the cart down the hill, through the S turn, and across the flat to the cul de sac. An hour or so later I went back down with an intention of snapping a photo for today's love letter. I had taped salmon-colored cardstock to the cart with a plea -- Please fix my wheel! 🙂
Wouldn't you know that when I was about 100 feet from my intention, the repairman was driving down the hill to fix it up! I had the opportunity to say thanks for following through on my service call. He popped on a new, perfectly-sized wheel in less than five seconds. Sweet!

"Tennis" would have helped, as would a few more brains in my head. 😂
