Haiku Friday: Because I promised to talk about something other than calorie counting

Washing machine broke
Should I be sad or joyful?
One less chore today


Yestderday I informed St. DH that the washer wasn't agitating. At first there was a horrible grinding, clacking noise with the non-agitation, but thankfully, that stopped. What stopped it, I'm guessing is when the part in question actually FELL OUT of the washer on to the floor. ;-P

It's a 10 year old washer, so we're (read: DH) are trying to figure out if it's worth it to pay for a repair when this is probably just the tip of the iceberg in terms of parts breaking. If it's just going to go in a landfill however, I don't want that. But I also don't want to spend more than the cost of a new washer in repairs in a two year period.

In different but similar news, our lawnmower also died this week. Amazingly, just two weeks BEFORE the warantee was over. That stuff never happens, right? Serves us right for having the washer break, then. We had run all out of "good luck." :)
