Today, the car starts but was taken in anyway, where we were charged $40 for no definite answers regarding the actual starting up problem.
Today, I fixed our dryer. Replaced the heating element and felt awesome. Did one and a half loads of laundry to celebrate.
Would have done two, but...
The washer broke. It is now filled with several gallons of water. After reaching into the FREEZING water and wringing out an entire load of laundry, by hand, we put half in the dryer and half to hang dry around the house.
That, my current hormone levels, and the toughest academic semester of my career, has left me pretty emotional. So if you don't see me tomorrow, I'm probably at home, eating my way through a gallon of ice cream and watching documentaries on Netflix Instant Viewing.
Jacob's been a trooper, btw. I can't imagine what I would have done without him the last few days.

The WASHER BROKE?! I'm sorry! I would have told you if I knew it was going to be a piece of crap right after we sold it to you... sorry my dear. Hope things look up. This is the winter from hell, eh?
@ Carrie - THE WASHER IS FIXED!!! It just had a temporary freak out. (Not unlike myself.) But I am now doing laundry to my heart's content, with two working machines. =)
In my pajamas, because I called today a "re-charge day" and stayed home from everything.
I've decided I don't like the term "mental health day." There are these weird psychotic connotations, but more importantly it implies that your MIND is the only thing that needs a day. I took today because I have been running faster than I had strength, and I needed a day to recharge my mind, body, and spirit, and to balance the relationships between all three. And I think it's working! It was tempting to make today a "catch up with everything" kind of day, but a) I don't really need to catch up on anything, I just FEEL like I do, and b) that defeats the purpose of today.
