My new dishwasher is installed although not without some drama. I received a text message saying the guy was on his way at 9:00. His boss called at 10:00 to see if he was here. He was not. I was to call the boss back at 11:00 if he hadn’t shown up by then. I called the boss at 11:00. The boss told me the guy wasn’t answering his phone and he didn’t know where he was but that he would show up today.
The delivery guy finally called at 1:30 saying he was on his way and got here at 2:45. I took a nap so Jim had to deal with him. I guess he was competent and did the job correctly. Not sure I will want to deal with Best Buy again though.
The best news is the light above the sink no longer blinks on and off when the pump to the dishwasher turns on. One problem solved!
The booster pump continues to cycle every 15 seconds. We unplugged it and checked the water meter and it doesn’t run when the pump is turned off. Starting to think I have a defective pump. The plumber is to decide what to do on Monday. We are leaving the pump unplugged except when we shower or do laundry.
Made peanut butter balls and dipped the Ritz crackers with peanut butter sandwiches. Jim helped me make the balls and he did most of the dipping. My foot got tired of me standing so long. It was nice to have help. Still need to make a couple batches of fudge and a batch of sugar cookies.
I posted a picture of the chocolate goodies and my nephew asked about New Year’s Cookies. I had forgotten about those. I may try to get some made before Thanksgiving and send them home with others then. I also need to get stuff to make Bourbon Slush. Trying to cut back this year and not make so much.
We didn’t get out to work on the deck today. It was in the mid 50’s but the wind was a bit nippy. Maybe tomorrow we will get out and get some painting done. Jim decided not to go to Oklahoma Monday so he will be around all week to get some work done on it.
My nap was seriously needed today. I didn’t sleep much again last night – third night in a row! I am finally in a better mood this evening. My foot has been cranky the last couple of days. I think I have put too much weight on it so have been trying today to keep off of it as much as possible. I have used the scooted since my nap and don’t have the boot on so I won’t use it at all. It still is cranky tonight but not as swollen.
We watched some TV last night. First time I have had a TV on in this house since I have moved back in in January 0f 2016. I need to get a bit bigger TV for the office upstairs. Nice to have the option to watch TV but doubt that I use it much. The commercials have not improved much since I quit watching years ago. Lots of drug ads these days.
Grateful the peanut butter balls and made, grateful for naps, and grateful for a new dishwasher.
