I Didn't Think I could, But I did...

I changed the battery in my watch.  That doesn't sould like a big deal, but because I have lost some of the dexterity in my left hand fingers (mainly my thumb) and my nails make working with anything small really difficult... It was a big deal for me.

I tried to get it fixed at Target, but they wouldn't change the battery.  They sold me a new one and sent me along.

Well, I did it.  I sat down at the kitchen table last night with all the tools I would need - bright light, teeny tiny screwdriver, reading glasses and tweezers.  I worked slowly and methodically.  I only lost the watch band spring twice.  But with the help of Dollie, I was able to find it both times.  Once I dropped it on the floor underneath my chair and the other time it shot across the room.  BOINK!

I took the entire watch apart and then put it back together.  AND IT WORKED!!!  That isn't normal for me.  Usually, I make things worse and have to throw what ever I'm working on away.

I don't normally change the battery in my watches.  I usually take it to the watch place at the mall - there's always one at all the malls you see.    It usually costs about $10.

But this time I did it myself, Now I have a working watch and 6 bucks in my pocket.
