If you follow me on Facebook you know I got a new washing machine this week. I may have squealed loudly. I take pleasure in the small things, like clean clothes. We’ve been limping along a 10-year-old washing machine with hard reboots by way of unplugging it when it gets lost in its own settings. It finally said no more.
Last year about this time I shopped at the local appliance store and replaced my 20-year-old dishwasher and probably 40-year-old oven. We wring the last of the good out of our appliances before we send them to the appliance grave. But the time had come. I remembered the appliance store had a 4th of July sale last year, I might get lucky again. And I did! Instead of wading through the big box store and then waiting weeks for delivery, I bought the washer on Wednesday, and it was delivered on Thursday. Friday, I had clean clothes.
It’s the little things in life . . .
Then another good thing happened this week. Alicia Dean interviewed me on her blog.
If you don’t know Ally, she is an author, editor and cheerleader for authors everywhere. She is an editor with The Wild Rose Press and she has been my editor for a while. She makes me look good.
It’s been an eventful week but has turned out well. It could have gone another way, but that is Another Story for another Time.
What are you reading/writing/creating this week?
