I just wanted clean sheets on the bed. And to wash the used ones. But the washer hiccuped and when I went to stop it- I walked into water. I got it stopped before the water reached the walls or the new hard wood floor in the bedroom. Used every towel I own. Sigh. Been doing laundry ever since. Just trying to get everything that got wet- clean and dry again. One more load into the dryer.
Sigh. Hate when days begin this way. But I HAVE clean sheets on the bed.
Husband has set up sprinklers for the Peach Trees. I think roof runoff from the big storm was enough water for the Queen of Plums. I need to transplant tomatoes from their little milk jugs into larger pots. Chocolate Cherry and Bumble Bee Tomatoes. I sprinkled dill seeds into one herb square right before the sky opened and it rained. Good timing.
Pizza last evening came out perfect. Enough left for husband to have for late lunch or early supper. I have some forgotten asparagus to roast in the oven for myself. Or another tomato sandwich. The one yesterday was good- even if tomato was one of those "inside a building" farmed one. Exceptional good looks on the outside. But no acidic flavor notes inside. Sort of like some really good looking men.
I have been thinking about really good looking men lately. Just about looking at them. At work, when I worked, I occasionally got to spent time with some excellent men. Usually pitching for the other Team-- but good looking is good looking. And so very nicely dressed. Miss that. Good manners also.
What to do today? Now that the laundry is nearly done I can move on to something else. I am not reading today as my eyes are very tired. Perhaps some sewing. After I do the little tomatoes. It's already 2 pm. TV viewing is not any fun. I paid the two bills I had here and then wrote Charlie a letter and sent him some stickers of a lizard and snake. I need to find stamps for the letters that a child would like. Only 5 more Muppet stamps and no Scooby Do. Perhaps there are video game stickers???? He seems to like that sort of thing.
So---tomatoes. Folding dry towels. Roasting asparagus. Might just be enough.
What is causing the problems with your washer?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need to get it check out before it
reaches the new floors?
Ha! Its OLD. And one of it's circuits is giving out. It was six years old (at least) when we bought the house. And we have lived here since 1991. But it works. the clothes are clean. I am giving it the love and respect I would give an aging relative. I discovered it's the intitial fill. Incontinence.. It starts but can't stop. I had thought it was the rinse fill. Watched that.
ReplyDeleteMy repair man (years ago) said finding parts and a new circuit board are impossible. He had gone to a salvage yard the last time he worked on the machine. I loved him for doing that.
water has such incredible weight and power ... a force to be reckoned with
