When I shower I am mindful to listen for a change in the water pressure, this means scalding hot water will flow for 3 seconds and I should step aside.
When it rains and rains, I leave a pot on the kitchen table by the windowsill in case we have a leak.
If the winds been blowing I carefully wipe the tops of bookshelves and my bedspread for any sand that may have fallen through the celing.
Sometimes my home seems like a true misfit of a house. But when I open the windows and take in the ocean views, I know she's just a diamond in the rough.
