Something this morning

There was something that came to mind this morning.  Something I could write about.  I forget what it was though.

Oh - got it!

The dryer.  This is to Wendy.

I remember when we first got together.  You were paranoid about the dryer running while you were gone because you had left the house and when you came back it was still going.  It had not automatically shut off.  You probably had it set on humidity. The humidity sensor that senses how dry the air is in the dryer and when it reaches a certain dryness did not shut down the dryer.  So for the entire time we were together, the entire seven years, the dryer always worked just fine.  So, I started wondering about that.  Thinking that maybe you were not gone that long (away from the house that is.)  And that maybe you thought it should have shut down when, in fact, it was running fine.  You were just not gone long enough.

Well! guess what!?  My lovely lovely princess you are vindicated!  Last night I put a load in the dryer at about 9:30 and I woke up about 1:30 and the dryer was still running.  The cloths were nice and warm of course. . . .

Gotta stop - gotta go to a meeting.  uhg!!!

I don't know why I woke up but I did and could not get back to sleep so I went out to the living room to listen to music and rock in the rocking chair.  As I entered the living room I heard the dryer still running.  And of course it bothered me to no end.  I took the cloths out which were very warm but they didn't burn me.  Some dryers get that hot.  I went back to the rocking chair and miraculously fell asleep after about three or four songs.  Even though I was thinking, "Fuck, I gotta buy a fucking dryer.  Should probably get a washer while I am at it." 

I also thought about how my higher power brings about consequence financial related ones when I start thinking about spending money foolishly and you know what I am talking about by now.  Anyway, although I think about it and have my little fantasies about it, I haven't done it - miracle?  Who knows?  But never the less, I was thinking about the fact that I have been looking at the ads and thinking I deserve it, feeling a sense of entitlement, etc. . . and now my higher power or as you would say "higher power" sans "my" is bringing about the consequence of me having to buy a new dryer. . .

With all that going through my head, I fell asleep.  When I woke up this morning.  I got the cloths out of the dryer and put them on the bed to sort them,  I took a shower, got dressed, and headed out the door to go to work and the thought occurred to me that I hadn't cleaned the lint trap in a while.  In fact, I couldn't remember the last time I checked.   I immediately thought, "That's gotta be it."  I checked it and sure enough it was totally loaded.  The lint actually had weight!  It probably weighed as much as a wash cloth.  Anyway, it hasn't been confirmed but I am thinking the dryer will turn off on it's own using the humidity sensor.  I will let you know.

Oh yes, and the car,  the Forerunner, the dashboard warning lights I know what they are about now.  Next post.
