Washer is chugging away, but chugging is likely the most inappropriate word for the quiet sound of it running. And let me say this---we're used to buying the most cost-efficient appliances, with cheapest being the norm. Not all the time, but most of the time. Our one self-employed income is very tight, and we're used to making do and being clever with our spending.
When our priest called me on Thursday to say they were gifting us a new washer, of course I was speechless, but when he began asking questions like 'high capacity' and 'energy efficient' and such, I didn't know what to say. I'm used to basic-basic.
The washer got here this afternoon and it's running its first load. It's gorgeous. Top of the line and computerized and with an enormous inside, suitable for bathing the Pugs in. Truly an over-the-top gift. I stand amazed. Really. Amazed.
