Love in the time of Dirty Laundry

Remember that old song about which chores you did on which days? It was popular about the same time that we were still boiling laundry in the backyard. Which is what I'm anticipating doing soon, since our washing machine has stopped agitating. The good part is that we know what broke, and we're reasonably sure that we can fix it. The frustrating part is that nobody wants to sell you parts for your washer on Sunday night, which means that I don't know exactly when the clothes will be able to become clean. Good thing our jobs have office casual dress codes!

I did find this site when looking for troubleshooting your washing machine. This contains exactly the amount of scorn that you'd expect from anyone dealing with appliance morons like me, so it's quite funny. Read the very last yellow entry, which actually gives you a good idea about what my dad used to sound like on the phone when troubleshooting for his clients.

We did manage to get the spaghetti sauce into the crock pot last night, so this morning the house smelled fantastic.
