Life has been fairly normal and monotonous this week... although I got a not- so -nice surprise when I got home last night. I gave the children a bath, then went into my "laundry room" to start a load. I discovered water all over the floor. My washer has a leak. I knew about the leak---discovered it earlier in the week, but Theresa had attempted to fix it before she left. Apparently, she was unsuccessful... Now the leak is worse that ever. So... I attempted to work on it myself. When I say "laundry room" I really mean small closet with a stackable washer and dryer. To get to the leak requires pulling the machine out from the wall, climbing up a ladder and crawling over the top of the machine, then scaling down the back. It is a real pain in the ***. I am going to have order the part that is leaking, so in the meantime I just turned off the hot water supply to the washer. So far, that seems to have stopped the leak. Most people would simply hire a repair man to come out and fix it--not me, I'm too cheap. I also have a strong distrust for repair men. Maybe I just don't trust people in general--especially when I'm paying them...
Needless to say, I was not in a good mood last night. Really I have not been in a good mood for the last few days--probably PMS. I hope that is all it is and it passes soon. I hate when I feel this way... I have always felt a little down in the Fall. Maybe it has to do with shorter days. This weekend promises to be a busy one, so maybe I'll snap out of it.....
