i think i broke the washing machine. >.<
tamalinn went home today and i was washing the sheets from the air mattress, and the washing machine just... wouldn't spin. it filled up, it agitated, it stopped before it could rinse or spin. i took the sheets out and rinsed them in the shower and put them in the dryer and because i didn't want to leave all that water in the machine and because i don't know how to get it to drain, i bailed it out with an empty yogurt container (a big one) and a plastic tub. so now the sheets are in the dryer and there's a couple inches of water in the bottom of the washing machine that i couldn't get out, and at some point i'll have to call the landlady's son who lives behind me and ask him what i did and if i did indeed break the thing. and if i did break it, which is always possible, i'll have to find a laundromat to do my laundry. but i really hope i didn't break it.
(i was told when i moved in to only fill the washing machine halfway, or it wouldn't spin. this is not the first time i've washed two twin sheets and a pillowcase. usually it works.)
