Ms. Fixit

So here I am in my tiny galley kitchen, hand-washing my dishes, when I hear a CLUNK! Apparently, I did not fully close my garbage/recycling pull-out drawer because the weight of the can at the very end of the track fully dislodged the one remaining screw and POP! went the whole unit.
If I was my mother, I would be looking around for the nearest X/Y chromosomes owner to remedy the situation. But, alas, I live in the world of independent women (of which I am the queen, by the way!)
Instead of curling up on the sofa watching the All-Star Home Run Derby like I planned, I crawled into the bottom cabinet to investigate. After removing the garbage and recycling cans as well as the front door of the cabinet and wiping down the inside of the cabinet door and floor (I AM my mother's daughter ya know), I re-attached the two wayward screws and added two more for extra security.
TA-DA! One fixed cabinet.
Now to see about that dragging shower door...
