Life, as we know it...

The good news: we own a washing machine! No quarters necessary; no sitting on dingy, cracked plastic chairs during the final spin; no bending over a bucket full of suds, rubbing my clothes together in the hopes that the caked-on layer of dirt will relent before I do…oh, no…we know how to live it up.

The bad news: an electrical fire consumed the top of our precious machine two nights ago. It is no more. Apparently, the burden of keeping six women clean was just too much for our cream-colored box of j-o-“oy” (yes, j-o-“oi” – it’s a new favorite term). Well, it was sure wonderful while it lasted.
