That Ann, she is a fickle mother.
Remember the past few days when I was telling you how fabulous it is to have D#1 at home? How wonderful she is? How much I love having her around? At some point I am sure I had misty thoughts about what a terrific adult she is becoming, how great, how perfect ……. there was no doubt a background soundtrack running through my head featuring some kind of uplifting music. It was all so lovely.
(do you hear the ominous drumbeat starting to swell?)
D#1 broke my dryer.
D#1 broke my dryer and I have company coming.
She is leaving to go back to school today and was doing a final load of laundry. (yes, one of those ‘wonderfully adult’ tricks she has learned (or not it would appear) is how to do her own laundry). For mysterious reasons the load of clothes that she moved from the washer to the dryer did not seem to go through a spin cycle. This fact escaped her notice. All that water dripping, the sheer weight of it …… nope, didn’t see it.
Based on the timer, I believe the dryer tried to do its job for about 20 minutes. Poor guy, it was so brave. Now all the lights go on, but nothing happens.
Boar is going to take a look at it, but Sears has also been called.
Boar says maybe it’s a coincidence.
yeah, right.
That Boar, he’s such a softie. I bet he wouldn’t be so benevolent if it were his radial arm saw we’re talking about.
Even though it is all about Icarus around here these days, I fear it shall not be done in time for Rhinebeck. Ah me. I only have a chart and a half left, but at 400 + stitches per row, it is slow going. And then there is the blocking. I may end up wearing my *merkin*!
I need to decide on a fiber festival project – socks seem to fit the portability bill it’s just a matter of which pattern. I really don’t want to knit a stockinette sock. I wonder if I could stand to knit another Retro Rib? It has been awhile after all and I do adore that pattern ….
D#1 got home on Friday evening and we have been loving having her home. No special event on our calendar, just lots of companionable sitting around. She heads back to Alfred tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I am working all day today – I keep telling myself she is going to sleep all day anyway, so what am I really missing?
Vicki arrives on Thursday! Hip hip hooray!! I have made her visit my excuse for some intense fall cleaning. It is amazing what a difference washing light fixtures makes. I would have sworn that the one in my bathroom wasn’t dirty – until I took it apart and cleaned it. Now it’s all sparkly!
Hey, what’s Vicki doing in my bathroom anyway?
