Ye olde washing machine has died. We're told the part is hard to source and probably won't be here before Christmas. But it's cheaper than buying a new one. I could tolerate the wait if we didn't have a newborn who has it coming out both ends! So now I'm hand-washing like a pioneer woman and running the odd load over to a friends house. Thanks, Susie! Amidst the chaos, we finally got the tree up and discovered that the lights make for a pretty effective baby soothing device. Which is handy now that we've lost our best white noise maker. Other than that, life is good.
How about about you, friends? Got an electrical/mechanical catastrophe to share?
