REPEAT THIS 3 TIMES: Everything always works out for me! Everything always works out for me! Everything always works out for me!

Hello peeps!
Hope you had a lovely Easter weekend spent with loved ones!

I made a card last night, as Ray's going to a funeral this afternoon.

 
This was my drive to work a week ago Friday!

 
Horrible white stuff!
 
The swans are back!

 
Here's the start of the laminate at Kalens house!

 
Finished in one room!

 
Honestly, you can tell we live in Smalltown, Nowhere;
when renovations come to a screeching halt
cause we can't find drapes & curtain rods within 300 miles!
I ordered from Sears!
 
We DID work in the laundry room...........
Who lays carpet in a laundry room in the basement!
It came out!
A wall got painted, & I cleaned the spray paint off the window!
Cause REALLY;
someone would have to be standing in the yard
between the house & attached garage to watch you do laundry!!!
 
My title today is what I told a blog friend yesterday as we 'chatted' with email.
I remember saying that I had to go see where the water under my washer was coming from.
After I cussed out the washer;
which has been a lemon since I got it.......
don't tell the kids, they bought it for me.......
I was reminded about what a pain it is,
when I read Mary's blog post about her refrigerator!
 
Anyhoo..............
After I cleaned out the cupboard between the washer & dryer,
scrubbed shelves in there,
moved it out to get behind the washer.....
scrubbed under the washer..........
decided nothing was leaking.......
took off the panel where the hot water tank lives.......
YUP!
It's the hot water tank!
I need someone to do a survey about appliances or anything going wrong on a holiday, or weekend!
Cause from where I sit, it NEVER happens during the week;
and we are second on the list today for a new hot water tank!
 
Ray will have to go to his sisters to shower before the funeral,
and me;
I'll get to work sometime this afternoon,
when the new hot water tank is up & running so I can shower,
and maybe get a load of laundry in that didn't get done!
And it's payroll!
I'll be at work til I'm done!
 
I'm also house sitting/cat sitting for 2 friends in town.
The ones that live across the street from each other.
I'm paranoid now that something will go wrong!
I got my key stuck in one door on Saturday...
I was like, "REALLY, just what I want to do on Saturday,
change the lock while no one is home!"
I got it out; I now use the door with the code!
 
In other news, we enjoyed a wonderful meal on Saturday;
Vanessa was busy yesterday.
We also had Firepit Friday(on Saturday)!
Still a tad cool, but we lasted until almost 11:00PM!
 
Have a great week everyone!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
