update -- washer problem resolved. The circuit was tripped or something. I fixed it..

SLNRLBF helped trouble shoot.

I actually do have some money set aside and I'm trying to decide if I just need to bite the bullet and buy a new washer. I may watch this winter and see if there are any good deals and then get one. It would make my life sooo much easier.

Right now my laundry routine is -- wash a small load (in this case my flat sheet, a towel, and a t shirt..and I think I over did it), let it finish it. Run the spin cycle. Run it again. And then maybe again. hang up all my clothes.

Put things like sheets and towels in the dryer. Run the dryer twice sometimes three times so things get dry.

Bacon can run off and sleep with my best friend and I would still forgive it, if it meant eating bacon.

Which, um, sounds wrong typed out like that.

And I am totally supportive of vw. Just I know *I* fuck up too.

SailAweigh, did you remember to put your clothes in the dryer?

also I have gone back to eating meat. I almost typed meating eat... I may be tired.

I am not a good vegetarian. I ate very poorly and was tired all the time, I experiemented and started eating meat again... mostly eating out which meant a little more variety in my meals, and amazingly I wasn't almost falling asleep in the afternoons at work.

But now I'm back to eating a not so great but a bit more varied diet.

What was happening is I'd be tired, and then I'd make something easy something starchy low protien and well not really healthy. And then I'd feel tired, and so I wouldn't cook right and..well it was a cycle. I'm going to try to get my energy back up and then start cooking more. I forget how easy it is once I do it. I just... I dunno...no energy.

Just I know *I* fuck up too.

Me, too. Oh, me, too.

Bacon can do serious crime and get arrested time and time again, and I'd bail it out every. single. time. just for the merest chance to eat bacon ever again.

In the dryer, Laga! Now, 37 minutes until they are dry and I can trudge back out into the cold to get them. Bah. When I have enough bucks, I am having washer/dryer hookups installed in the condo.

We might make bad bacon decisions, Jen, but it's bacon.

This is what I'm saying. Hey, at least we know we can cry on each other's shoulders while bacon is off having smoochies and doing crime.

Wow. Sentence you never imagined yourself writing, meet posting box.

I spoke up because I sensed that VW was feeling torn; that maybe she wanted to still give the gifts, but maybe felt like she couldn't lest the world think her improper or succumbing to the whims of her insensitive ex.

I fully get feeling protective of her and the grrrr, totally. I just think all of the feelings aren't mutually exclusive, that's all.
