I skipped the icicle lights this year .. I'm getting too old to be climbing up the ladder
Got two more rooms and another load of laundry done. I can't believe it's almost Christmas again already!
Laundry. I entered laundry hell today. I had a load of sheets that I'd left in the dryer last night. I'd washed another load, then checked the sheets in the dryer. They were still wet. How odd. I turned the dryer on, and came back and checked on them a few minutes later. There was no heat in the dryer. EEEEEKKKK!!! I'd also put some sweaters in a Dryel bag with the dry cleaning solvent-soaked cloth and was ready to throw them in the dryer. Sooooo, I was forced to go to the *gasp* laundromat to dry the two loads of wet laundry, throw the sweaters in a dryer, and wash another load of work pants for hubby.
Gads, it's been literally decades since I've been to a laundromat, and it wasn't any more fun now than it was all those years ago. I even got panhandled. Ugh. Needless to say, he didn't get a dime from me. Hey, I don't have any spare change - I needed it for the washer and dryers. And it's gotten damn expensive - .25 for 5 minutes of drying time!
Anyway, hubby got out the fix-it manual and his ohm meter, and did some checking. He thinks it's the high-limit (that's probably not the name of it, but I can't remember what he said it was) thermostat. Now we have to see if he can get the part. If not, I'm going to buy a used dryer, since I'm planning on putting in a gas line and getting a gas dryer. We just don't have the gas line in yet, and I don't want to spend a fortune on a new electric dryer, only to replace it soon with a gas dryer. Oh, the joys of homeownership.
Ugh.
Yes.
The driving insanity, the mobs at the malls, the constant repetitive carols, the constant pricing bait and switch..
