52 Blessings Project, #21

Fully functioning household appliances.


Our dryer had a problem and it really threw a kink in my laundry routine. Not that I have a set routine, it's just that was recently taking an entire day to finish one load.

We've been so busy lately that I was too distracted to really notice the gradual decline in dryer function until it dawned on me that I wasn't getting anywhere with the growing pile of laundry. The symptoms were weird because the dryer would always start out hot, so I'd think it was working, but when I came back later the clothes would be cold and wet.

That Friday that I ended up having to go to work, rather than work from home, was the day Chris replaced the gas coils in the dryer and solved the problem. I was excited to finally gain some momentum on the laundry, but that plan was sidelined since I had to leave for the day. Did I mention that one of the side benefits of working from home is being able to throw in a load and keep it going?

So accomplishing three loads of laundry in about three hours is feeling like a huge blessing now!
