Mexican Laundry...
Yesterday Rick and I went to Lowe's to pick up one of those stretchy metal tube thingys for the back of the dryer. The dryer just isn't working very well. I have to put everything through two dry cycles to get anything dry, so we thought that maybe it was blocked up or something. We cleaned out the ooky stuff that was building up in the back, and bought a new tube thingy but that didn't help. I hate to call the landlord and tell them it needs to be fixed or replaced... We already had to have them replace the dishwasher.... Might have to, though. It's costing us in electricity to double-dry everything. It also takes so long to do one load that I can only get 3 loads at the most done a day, so my laundry is really building up. Today, we intend to take everything to a laundrymat so I can get caught up. What a hassle... But I also have several blankets and two quilts that need to be done and they can't be done in the washer/dryer that comes with the apartment. We have one of those stackable washer/dryers and it's pretty small, so I can't do really heavy or large loads.
In other news, I've applied for 6 different jobs at the hospital that Rick works at. There's one in particular I'm hoping to get. My landlord has worked at the hospital for close to 30 years and she knows just about everyone there. She told me to let her know if I apply and she can put a good word in for me, so we did that. She talked to this one woman manager that I applied for and so I have a chance to get an interview with her, but I still have to wait for the Human Resources department to call me in. They do things at their own speed, even if the department managers are begging for someone. That particular position would be good too because it's a 2nd shift job, which is the same shift that Rick has. That would be great for us! On the days that we worked the same, we could go in together and come home together, using only one car. We'd be off at the same time, during the day, except the days we don't have the same day off.

Just got back from doing the laundry... OMG that sucked! So hot! But it's done, and we went out for Mexican food afterward. Now I want a nap! LOL I'm not going to take one, but I will take it easy for the rest of the day.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
