It's always something...

...and here are our 3 somethings this week.

1) The lower spray arm on our dishwasher.  Somehow, it came in contact with the heating element and melted.  This has left us without a dishwasher until the new part comes in (2-5 business days, we're told)  It was only a $25 part, so not a major head ache.  Just annoying and time-consuming to have to wash dishes by hand.  And since our New Year's Resolution was to cut our extra spending, especially in regards to groceries and eating out, a week of take-out isn't an option.  How did people ever live this way???

2) The upstairs shower is leaking.  This picture is of the downstairs hall ceiling, directly underneath the shower in the upstairs bathroom.  Joe thinks some caulk with fix this problem.  I am less optimistic.  Nothing is ever that easy.

3) Our refrigerator ice maker.  Hasn't made any ice for the last 24+ hours.  We realized this after breakfast this morning, so we haven't investigated very thoroughly.  Hopefully more ice will just appear and we won't have to worry about it.

Here's hoping those are all the "somethings" we'll have to deal with for awhile.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to clean up lunch dishes, take a shower, and make myself an ice cold drink.  Damn.
