It was a busy day. I made curry in the morning along with trying to get some other important chores done and helping the boys as needed. I did a little grading, but was hoping that my graders would pull through and finish the grading they said they would. Cheryl picked the boys up around 2pm and I continued my chores...there were a lot.
I went to run the dishwasher so it'd be done by the time the house cleaners showed up, but none of the buttons would push. I reset it at the fuse box, which is what it usually needs. No luck. I tried a few more things. Ben tried a few things. No luck.
I assume that the dishwasher died because we said mean things about it yesterday right in front of it. And then this morning as I was emptying it I was thinking that maybe it was just time for a new dishwasher.
Well, instead of emptying the dishwasher the housecleaner washed a bunch of dishes by hand. It was good timing, really.
I was finishing up drying the last of the supper dishes after dinner and accidently hit a button on the dishwasher. "Beep." Wait a minute! I thought it was dead. It shouldn't be beeping. Well, all the buttons push now.
This is especially nice because Ben's on a low sodium diet for the next 1.5 weeks and I expect to be cooking more than normal. Now, if I'm nice to the dishwasher and tell it good things, maybe I won't have to wash all those dishes by hand. (We still might start looking into a new dishwasher.)
Also, my graders finished up all their work! I can start putting grades in tomorrow.
