Better day
By the time evening rolled around yesterday I was way tired. So when Mike reminded me that it was the last night for the SpongeBob movie, I groaned. I DID promise if he was good we would go, though, and he had been trying hard the past few days. Plus I was so tired I doubted I would get much done at home anyway....
So we went. And I did enjoy it moderately, although it is very freaky and strange and I kept thinking this would be a GREAT movie to watch when you are high, if one was into that sort of thing. Some pretty scary stuff for a cartoon, and I don't mean just naked Patrick the Starfish!
But the best part...during the credits, Mike reached out, put his arm around my neck and pulled me to him, and said, "Thank you for taking me to this movie. I love you so much!" And he held me there, our heads touching, while we watched the pretty waves and the credits. Moments like that are better than having a million dollars.
Damaris and Nigel and the kids are back, and today Damaris and Nigel took me out to lunch at the Chinese buffet place, which was quite pleasant. They filled me in on their week, which was full of drama and angst...and I had nothin'. "Uh...did I mention how the bathroom light exploded?" Lame, I tell ya.
I had some luck with the dryer. The heat element is held inside this long metal casing, and one end of that is supposed to fit into a hole to direct the hot air into the dryer drum. It had come out, so I pounded it back in. The lint vent wasn't even very cloggy, but I cleaned that out too on general principles. But when I got it all back in place and started it up, there it went again with the bip-bip-bip!!
So I did some Googling, and now I think the roller somethings are bad. But I found a site that for a $12 lifetime membership will advise you on all sorts of repairs and give you good deals on replacement parts complete with instructions so the average handy-person can do what needs doing. So I am going to try that. At least in the meantime we ARE getting dry cloth out of the deal again!
