Warehouse Pickup

Today I planned to pick up our new dishwasher at the store's warehouse. My sales associate gave me printed directions on how to get to the store. I was going to drop by the warehouse at lunch. But a meeting ran late through lunch time.

Next I figured I would go after work to pick up the washer. Guess what? Another meeting was running late. Luckily my meetings are all using conference calls over the phone. I participated in the meeting, but then just dropped off after about an hour. Let's hope they don't miss me.

I was thinking ahead and brought my truck to work. I followed the instructions on the paper. It had me following a road through many turns. I got to one stoplight and realized I needed to make a right turn. Good thing there was no traffic because I made that right turn from the middle lane.

Then I took a drive and my instincts told me I needed to go right. I could not find any street signs at the intersections. I decided to trust my spider sense and turned around. Yep. I had missed a critical turn. Once I got to the warehouse, it was very easy to get my big package. Now let's get this thing installed. That's a story for another time though.

Paper Plates and Cups

Last week I was about to go to bed one night when Kit Kat called for help. The dishwasher door would not close. Thus she could not wash the dishes. Momoko took a look at it. Then I did too. The latch on the door would not hook.

Normally I would just buy a new dishwasher. But the floor underneath the dishwasher is not level. This caused a major pain when we bought our current dishwasher. So I want to avoid that nightmare again.

Kit Kat washed the dishes by hand. We decided to use paper plates, plastic cups, and plastic utensils until the problem is fixed. I called up manufacturer. They referred me to a local repair company. Let's hope we can get this thing fixed soon.

Grocery Shopping

Mamma Kat went to school. The kids were very quiet. I took a look around. The kitchen was a mess. So I had Little Kat get to work on it. He came back later and told me we ran out of dishwasher detergent. We both looked around, and decided he was right.

Little Kat and I made a list of high priority items we needed from the store. Toilet paper was very high on the list. Then we got in my truck (Little Kat insisted we take the truck), and drove to WalMart. I was surprised that they had everything we needed.

I even picked up some grass seed while shopping. Little Kat lobbied for some Beef flavored Ramen noodle. Seemed like a fair request. We bought a huge box of them.
