Not to be outdone in the necessary-machine-falling-apart-at-a-critical-moment contest, the washer decided to die on Saturday, as well. Unfortunately, I had washed only one of our usual four weekly loads of laundry. The (brilliant) husband found the appropriate replacement part on eBay, and he should be making the repair sometime later this week. Hopefully no one will get too close at work until then, just in case we're smelly.
I would like to take this opportunity to implore that my remaining functional appliances not join in this suicide pact, please. We could probably do without the stove for a while, but the microwave, fridge, toaster, and air conditioner are absolute necessities. And the computer...dear Lord, please save the computer! After all, writing about your problems is a stress reliever, right? I'm definitely gonna need a stress reliever if I'm hot, hungry, wearing stinky clothes, and living in a poo-strewn-patio jungle.
Vote for me, please! I could use all the smilies I can get.

Are you sure Christian Bale doesn't have anything to do with this? I'm kind of in favor of blaming everything on Christian Bale these days.
And what is wrong with your oh-so-dainty doglets?! They don't want their butts tickled by the long grass? That seems like one of the plusses of taking a dump outside!
i hope nothing else breaks and if it does, hope your wonderful hubby can fix it!
JD: I think Christian Bale may have something to do with this...he seems kinda shifty to me.
Our girl dog is a tough cookie, and doesn't mind the tall, wet grass. The boys are the sissies! They seem to think they are too good to use the yard unless conditions are perfect.
Stacie: Thanks, I hope so too! As long as the AC holds out, I should be okay.
Holy crap, woman! You're having quite the run of bad luck. Of all the appliances in our house, I would have a meltdown without my laptop or internet access. I did go 12 hours once without it and almost had to go to the library to use one of their computers. I know. I have a problem.
As for the poop issue, would you believe one of my cats likes to "make a drop" in the middle of our lawn? It's actually quite comical. Cats are supposed to be very private creatures, but this one walks right out to the dead center of the yard, with no cover, and lets loose. She has no problem with high grass. It just takes her longer to get there.
I shall pray that all your other appliances hang tough for the rest of their natural lives.
Kudos to your fix-it husband. He's a keeper.
Kathy: I figure I can get by without everything except the laptop and AC, in a pinch. I'd rather not find out, tho.
That is strange for a cat! She must be an extrovert.
It is nice to have a husband who can fix things!
