For a few weeks, there has been a pucker in my rug that’s driving me crazy. The problem is the rug is underneath the sofa, and there’s no way I can lift it. Don’t think I haven’t thought about it. But I know it would end in disaster, with my writhing on the floor in back pain. I considered calling the handyman, but for this 2 second task, that didn’t make sense. And finally, my miracle showed up. I’m in the process of refinancing my mortgage, and today, a man came over to appraise the apartment. He walked through all the rooms, taking photos and measuring. And moments before he left, I asked if he’d lift the couch. “No problem,” he said. Problem solved!
