All Things Learned | Couches

So I attempted to fix our couch today. It has been in the bad habit lately of sagging whenever someone sits on it. We've been told by people who sit or lay on our floor (for some reason) that springs are hanging out, but I had yet to see the issue for myself until today.
I got out of class early today and had a big test that drained all my brain processes, so I wasn't particularly motivated to do anything too productive. So why not turn to the couch? I turned the couch up and this is what I found:

Not normal. In case you couldn't tell. Those curvy things are supposed to be flat against the fabric, not sticking out scraping the floor.
So what do I do? What any other person would do: try to fix it! There were little hooks that the springs slid into and I just thought that I could put them back. Well...it was harder than I thought. I was able to fix one or two, but the rest were too hard. After stabbing my thumb on a staple that was hidden, I decided to end my little "Mrs.-Fix-It" Adventure and call maintenance. We'll see if they do anything. I learned today that I shouldn't try to fix something I know nothing about...probably not the safest idea. :)

[this is my sad face...if that's not clear.] :)

Like my Cars Band-Aid?? Makes the bleeding much more tolerable, let me tell you!

Well, better luck next time, and I'll wait hopeful that Maintenance will come to my rescue! :)

Verse of the Day: 

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;

his mercies never come to an end;

they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,

"therefore I will hope in him."

The LORD is good to those who wait for him,

to the soul who seeks him.

It is good that one should wait quietly

for the salvation of the LORD.

It is good for a man that he bear

the yoke in his youth.

-Lamentations 3.22-27
