I was planning on a chicken supper....had my chicken thawed and ready to go.
Then, this morning I put in a load of laundry and as soon as the water was filled, soap in, clothes in.....NOTHING.
The washer died. Dead. Gone.
Geesh! Just because it was a 20+ year old Admiral Washing Machine.....aren't they suppose to last forever????
So, Mr. Amazing tried some CPR, banged around with a hammer, unscrewed and screwed this 'n that...until he finally said, "Well, that's that."
So, off to Lowe's we went. Lucky for us their Black Friday sale prices were still in effect. We knew we wanted a space saving stacked unit and it was one on sale....that coupled with the discount they give veterans made it an affordable unit.
So the young lady wrote it up and said, "the earliest delivery we have is December 11th." I looked at Dane and said, "I hope you like the clothes you're wearing because you'll have to wear them until Sunday, December 11th!" LOL
Crap.
I hate when stuff breaks. Or dies. Even if I know it's bound to happen soon it still makes me angry.
But you deal with what you have to.
So, I called a neighbor and asked if I could use her washer for the wet load....of course, she said. But it took an hour! She has some kind of water saving, high efficiency something or other. I just wanted to slosh my stuff around for a few minutes, spin, rinse and spin dry.....and get home to dry and cook supper.
So, Dane got Taco Bell and I'm having the last of the Peach Sangria.....good enough for tonight.
