Desperate Times

We are now on Day Six of No Dishwasher.  Janet is trying to be a trooper, and doing a pretty good job, although we suggest you don't run that one by Phil.  By being a "trooper" we mean she is no longer throwing tantrums.  She just starts crying whenever she enters the kitchen and sees the sink full of dirty dishes.

Phil hauled out all these very fancy looking tools in an attempt to fix the dishwasher.  We noted that a lot of dust had to be removed from the top of the tool kit.

 Then he set to work, taking the dishwasher apart.  Phil doesn't usually participate in house or yard duties, so he must be tired of looking at Janet's tear stained face.  Desperate times call for desperate measures!  In the really bad news department - it's still not working.

Janet says "good thing it's not a gas oven!"  We aren't sure if she's kidding.

Rockers has kicked up the breakfast routine to a new level.  This morning, he noticed Janet's eyes were open, long before she put her feet on the floor.  Immediately, he started his barking and howling routine to get the show on the road.  Janet wiped away her tears, and proceeded to feed us.

Waiting, waiting.  Come on, we are starving!

 More good news/bad news department.  Bad news first -   Janet felt lucky that the nice lady at The London Chef  didn't tell her how nuts she was for going on the Vij waitlist.  After Janet put herself on the list, she discovered that Vij was there last September and had more than 150 people on the waitlist!  Janet wisely signed up for their newsletter, so hopefully she can go next time.

Good news - Janet signed up for an Unlimited Pass at Iyengar Yoga.  She plans to go three times a week.  There's a bit of bad news in here as well....Janet has just finished six consecutive months of beginner classes with not a hope of moving to another level.  She is envious of her volunteer friend Mariem, who graduated herself to General level.  Lucky Mariem!
