Traveled to an early appointment this morning. Was supposed to be home before 9:30, & had plans to dive right in & work on spiffing the house as soon as I got home. I knew I would hit some rush hour traffic on the way there, but unfortunately there was a traffic jam on my way home, too. I try to go with the flow when that happens, but I was feeling a little frazzled by the time I got home. So I've adjusted my plans, & have been giving myself a break by getting online with a mug of cocoa & relaxing a bit. I'll tackle the to do list after lunch.
I was feeling virtuous about at least starting the laundry before sitting down
. But just now I went down to take out the towels & move the jeans to the dryer, & discovered I forgot to turn the dryer on. I was surprised to see that after over an hour, the washer was just finishing it's last spin cycle. I've noticed over the last few months that it is taking longer for a load to wash. Used to be 40 to 45 minutes max, so over 60 minutes has me concerned. Fingers crossed that it doesn't break before we finish remodeling, as we will be replacing both the washer & dryer then. I don't want to bring new machines into a work zone where they might accidentally get scratched or damaged.
I'm avoiding the news for the rest of today, maybe longer. Between the young people who died in the balcony accident & the heinous, senseless murder of all those people at church in Charleston, my heart feels so heavy with grief for the victims & all their families & friends.
Dee, I'm so glad you didn't break any bones and are on the mend. ((Gentle Hugs))
Next up: lunch, more laundry, dust, vacuum & clean the bathrooms.
