The washing machine repair man is upstairs right this minute.
Just in time too, as yesterday I had to wear mens socks and my bathing suit cover-up as a shirt.
First, he arrived early (yay!) then parked his car by my mailbox and sat in it smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone for twenty minutes (boo). Second, he asked if this was "Mike's house" (if he later asks if it is "Hanna's washing machine" I am going to kill him). Third, here is a little dialogue we had that does not fill me with confidence:
Hanna: Thank you so much for coming out; I sure hope you can fix the washer!
Washing Machine Man: I wish so too!
Um.
Is that his general first step when fixing things? Making a wish? Shit, if I knew that was all there was to fixing washing machines, I would have wished mine was fixed last week instead of sweating over the manual trying to figure out what "nD" stands for and following all the unhelpful steps suggested by the Samsung company.
I am now going to walk around Mike's house pointing at various appliances and making wishes. Freezer, I WISH YOU HAD ICE CREAM IN YOU! I'll let you know about my results.

Thank you for my morning laugh! Not at your misfortune, but at your ice cream wishes. I wish for you that your wish comes true! Hopefully it's something good like black cherry vanilla or chocolate chip cookie dough!
see, this is funny
I read this, and it makes me feel ill, because I'm supposed to get my washer repaired tomorrow! Worse than the cable co, they have told me "between 8 and 7."How did it break? I was attempting to wash my dog's bed, and it was too much for the machine to handle. I was attempting to wash it, because I was told she may have fleas, and that I need to wash the dog beds and throw rugs in hot water--so it's all still in the basement, waiting to be washed. Then my four month old decided to have 2 diaper blowouts (one in my bed), and my toddler decided to start "potty training." All this when I have no washer! And oh yeah, Tim's away at school for a long weekend. Argh! At least you can relate, and you make me laugh.
