When it rains, it pours....
Aug. 2nd, 2007 07:55 amonly I'm not talking about the weather (what's UP with that, anyway? It's rained for the past 30+ days, it seems.....the ark will be loading soon. We have a frog infestation in our front yard, and the ducks are Happy!)
Not only is my dishwasher DOA (wait - did I mention that? Oh...well, it started making this really wild growling-type noise shortly after *someone* (who shall remain nameless, but yes - I know Who; can't Prove that it isn't coincidental...but I've got my doubts) came in and left some stuff - and it's gotten worse. I don't know if there is something physically *wrong* with the motor (ie, bearing) or if something has been shoved down in there...but I get to handwash dishes for now), but now my washing machine is dead. The repairman thinks it's the pump, due to my ever-so-intelligent description ("See, it leaks water out the bottom. And soap. Lots of soap. Yeah......leaks." :grin:), and, thanks to Sears being willing to re-warranty their stuff cheaper than it costs to actually pay a service call/parts/time, I'm getting *it* fixed. I can live without a dishwasher....but NOT without my clothes washer! (The dishwasher will be re-warranty-ed next payday or so......the checkbook can only handle 1 at a time!)
The serviceman will also clean and tune-up my dryer (for a whopping $39! Whoo hoo!) at the same time. :sigh: I get to miss a day of work next week ("He'll be there between the hours of 8AM and 5PM"), but hey - I'll have a working washer! And clean dryer! Go, Me!
Got 2 kids tonight....up to 3 tomorrow night. Circus Saturday....spin-in sorta thing on Sunday. Full weekend.....can't wait! :grin: I'm hoping to get back on the warping...we'll see. Got lots planned.....
