Laundry-Day Blues
Sorry I missed posting a blog last week. I was busy doing laundry. Repeatedly. The same load. Over and over.
My washing machine is seriously malfunctioning. It no longer drains the water on its own. It needs a little prodding from me. So I have to manually set it once to drain the soapy water and again to drain the rinse water. Pretty soon my prodding will involve my right foot, but for now I'm being patient with it. That's because I know it is soon going to the Great Landfill! (I'm saving the big kick for when it's being wheeled out the door).
I am awaiting the Appliance Cash for Clunkers Program., the best-kept consumer secret in the State of Florida. It's a nationwide program offering rebates for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances. The government allocated the money to each state to administer the program for their state. It's going on now in some states; Florida will begin April 16, Earth Day. Which is fitting, because that's where my old Maytag is going.
In the meantime I am researching new washers and comparing prices. I want to make sure that I'm paying less than I would than if I waited for one on a good sale. I'm also drooling at the pretty red and blue ones. However I don't think my poor old white dryer will look so good next to its new neighbor. I don't want it to develop self-esteem issues and burn my clothes in a desparate attempt for attention. So, I'll stick with white.
It's time to go commune with my washer. Again. And then I'll read the Sunday appliance ads. And maybe paint a target on the Maytag.
