wishy washy

About 2 weeks ago, our washing machine decided it did not want to drain anymore. My husband managed to kind of fix the problem, but blowing air into the hose and getting things moving. This continued pretty much every load, so I have been working real hard at not doing so much laundry (i.e. reusing bath towels, re wearing jeans, only washing shirts, socks and undies, or anything that is completely soiled, etc) to take it easy on the washer. Then a couple days ago, it started to drain,t hen stopped, started and stopped and started to smell. Like maybe it was a belt burning or something.. We just bought this washer in April of this year. So, luckily, we are still under warranty. Thing is, they won't be coming by until next Wednesday to look at it. Hopefully whatever damage is done, it is a defective issue that will be covered. Meanwhile.. we are still collecting dirty clothing.. which means, before next Wednesday, a trip to the laundromat is required. Is it sad that I am actually looking forward to this? *I* get to get out of the house and NOT feel guilty about it, because, after all, I am doing chores. I foresee about an hour of nonstop reading pretty soon. :)
