Dryer Success!

I replaced the dyer belt, even though the one on it wasn't broken (couldn't return the belt, and the belt was old...), vacuumed the motor* (covered in dryer lint), reset the pulleys, and re-attached the dryer vent. Sweated and swore a lot. Got the dryer wrestled back into place. Plugged it back in. It works! (We'll see for how long.)

I guess I'll start saving/looking for replacements. These are older models, given to me by friends close to 6 years ago. They're at least 15 years old, probably older.

*Scared the crap out of Ripley the Cat, who was outside at the time. OMG! Teh Terrible Hose Monster Has Chased me Outside! I found her hiding under the couch when I took the vacuum inside.

Taking the plants outside now, which will really guarantee that we won't get rain. I may even seal our fate by getting the lovebugs washed off the car.

Go you!

Stuck in Phoenix with 1000 trauma therapists...

Actually, the locals here have been really wonderful. Thank you Phoenixians!

p.s. Mom, sib 2 and sib 3 are all AOK in Houston. Sib3 even has power, in Clear Lake!

Good to hear about your mom.

Call me when you get back and are recovered from your ordeal. I have the stuff from Dragon*Con.

oooh! Goodies!


Ordeal, heh, mostly the wretched people are trying to hug me to to death and complimenting the staff. Still, v. v.sleepy. 93 hours on the clock since Monday and still a day to go!
