Ah Hear Joo, Mang!
So our dryer was on the fritz. Taking hours and hours to dry stuff. R fixed it once, and it got better, but still not 100%. Instead of pulling it out and tinkering with it and leaving shit all over the house during that process we decided to buy a new one. It was about 10 years old, anyway. (Washer still working fine, thanks GE, bought another GE.)
So our kitchen appliances are (were) shite, too. (Stay with me, I will get to the topic of the title shortly.) Dishwasher barely got anything clean to the point that we were practically pre-washing dishes. Oven's temp was inconsistent. The refrigerator didn't have a freezer on the bottom. (Its only flaw.) Microwave old and taking up counter space.
Time for New Stuff.
Off to Lowe's we go. Fuck researching. We have been down that path before, took down numbers, compared, price contrasted, and it ended in... us doing nothing. So fuck all that. We were going to pick out what we wanted, get what we liked, and not look back.
$3500 later we arrange to have it all delivered and installed. Awesome. We hung around all day yesterday waiting for them to show up, which they finally do at around 1:00 p.m. They're working on the dryer. One worker calls the title up the stairs to the other, I nearly fell over with the force of that stereotype.
Aaaaawesome.
So. Happy. With our new stuff. Could NOT be happier. Went to Harry's last night and bought a shit load of food to cook (jumbo prawns, NY Strip, fresh veggies). Cooked it all. Dined. Delish.
So awesome. Running a load of laundry now, we'll see how the dryer does.
How have you been?
I'm feeling like I did before I started exercising. Lethargic, irritable, etc. God I hate winter.
Fucking winter. (Not you, Winter.)

Me?! Or the season!?!
When the day comes that I celebrate over kitchen appliances, I will know that I have outlived my usefulness. Thank you for reminding me of this.
winter - I said not you!
P@D - that insult was neither clever nor thinly veiled.
Miss: your usefulness is far different than mine, and should not be confused as such. After all, you've got kid, and husband, and home to invest in and all.
I was thinking of me, returning to an empty apartment in a crappy part of town after an unsatisfying day of work, saying, "Well, at least I've got this new toaster oven!" At this point, I would have little to offer the world beyond an extra purchaser of consumables.
Since this was not clear, I apologize. I tend to keep my insults for self and strangers.
OK P@D. I still love you.
