do i LOOK like a duck?

My washing machine broke again last night! puddles everywhere. I couldn't get the water to shut off. What it would do is not-stop-running at the end of a cycle, and not stop pouring new water in after the beginning of the rinse cycle. The water from the rinse cycle would be joined by water for a new wash cycle and then, eventually, more water for a rinse cycle... I ended up having to turn the water off at the source in the wall. What a mess. Hello, laundromat!

On the other hand, I did finally get a good night's sleep and my headache is less present today, so I think I will be out getting things done that I didn't accomplish yesterday. At the moment i am just drinking Jasmine Green Tea that I bought at Pearl River Mart last year, the stuff in the tall pretty blue can with cranes on it. Foojoy brand, cheap and tasty.

I am just waiting for our washer to go to shit like that. Right now it is so off balance that it shakes the house like an earthquake! It's 16 years old, so it can go at any time.
