just some stuff
Our washer bit the dust yesterday. It lasted many years, so I guess it was to be expected. We went and got another this morning - it seems to be a lot smaller than our other one, but it will work. Just have to tell my daughter to ease up on the huge loads she ususally does. So I only go about 2 1/2 sleep before I got up to go with hubby to get the washer. Now I have to stay busy or I'll just want to go back to sleep. I guess I could, but I hate sleeping the day away.

Speaking of number one daughter, she got fired this morning. She's been working at a place called Black Bear Diner. Yesterday she called in because she was throwing up all morning. They asked her to try and make it by 11:00. (she talked to them around 8:30) She threw up some more and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was after noon - she saw they had tried to call and she didn't return the call. So today they told her she was a no-call no-show and fired her. Whatever. She hated that job with a passion, and next week she's finishing her phlebotomy class so hopefully she'll be able to get something in that field soon.

We've been doing better giving Sammy treats. Yesterday he had cherry tomatoes and zucchini fresh from the garden. (but I wonder if that's what's giving him such horrible gas today...gag!)

I realized that the only shows I am making a point of watching this summer are three reality shows - Master Chef, and unexpectedly, Alone and Forged in Fire. Alone is a survival show - I think they started with ten guys, dropped off on an island in the Northwest, each in their own area with a small amount of gear and completely alone. They have to film themselves, no crew. There are four guys left after two weeks. It's pretty interesting to see the psychology of how they're handling it. It rains A Lot there, so there's that added stress. I think the next guy to go (they have satellite phones to use to tap out) will be the one (can't remember his name) who was talking about the mold growing on everything he has, clothes included.
And Forged in Fire is another elimation show with four different guys every week having to forge blades out of different types. I was pretty impressed, because I had no idea how that stuff is done. One week they had to use a big spring and another they had six small pieces of metal they had to fuse together. I'm completely surprised that I like this show as much as I do.
Oh, and we're also watching American Ninja Warrior. I do believe I'm turning into a dude!
