Gud, my DH forgot to pay the mortgage one month. He was beating himself up pretty badly, but we had to pay a fine and we still have our house so, it was minor. As he says to me when I freak out over work mistakes, "You're a human being who is not perfect just like, oh, everyone on Earth. Perfection is impossible."
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Leaving my phone at work + benadryl at bedtime = not even noticing the Fitbit alarm when it is time to get up. if it weren't for a loudly complaining cat (complaining about what? I don't know, missing the pleasure of my company perhaps) I don't know how long I'd've slept. On a day when the leadership team of Supervisor, Manager, Director and Senior Director are out (half of them our of the country) maybe showing up late wouldn't matter too much, but still, thanks cat.

Feeling a little better today. Turns out the washer problem probably wasn't my bungled repair, but rather than the drain pump had somehow filled up with gunk. Cleaned out the drain pump and did a load of laundry to make sure it works.
I did forget to get some chicken marinating for making dinner tonight (a spicy cranberry-orange stir fry). But with the time needed to go to the store to get supplies and making the marinade itself, I really didn't have the time anyhow. That'll be tonight.

It's actually been very reliable. We've had it for about 16 years and this is only the second breakdown. The first was a disposable glove somehow getting in the wash and sucked into the drain pump. I replaced the pump, but I opened up the old one and untangled the glove so I wouldn't be surprised if the old pump still worked. I'm holding onto as a spare part.

It should be sturdy though because it wasn't cheap. It's a high-end Whirpool front loader made in Germany. Couldn't believe we actually spent that much on a washer at the time. It is really nice though.

It's often a good idea to spend up front on durable goods like that, yeah.
