Love Mary Gee's comment (inch by inch and it's a cinch, yard by yard it's very hard). How true.
Today I decided to simply address the dishwasher issue. I was actually able to get a repair person to come out during lunch time. He thinks the motor needs to be replaced (ouch. that's about $400 with labor), but possibly soaking it with vinegar water might remove some deposits that are keeping it from working properly. Decided to try the vinegar route before committing to a new motor.
Somewhat out of the blue, I decided to start painting the kids bathroom. I have the kitchen in somewhat of a half-painted state and should finish that before starting something else, but I felt like painting something and working in the kitchen seemed like a bad idea with the dishwasher issue.
Why am I telling you this? Well, yesterday morning I did my normal upper body strength workout, but I upped the weights on a few exercises. As a result, my arms, shoulders, back were a little sore while I was painting, but in a good way. And it made me smile. :)
Good job... The Little Engine That Could said, "I think I can".
ReplyDeleteI think you can. Wishing you the weekend you need.
It cost us $400 to repair the motor on our downdraft exhaust for the cooktop. Not fun. And I'm in the midst of painting too...
ReplyDeleteI have several walls I could lend you if it really makes you smile to have upper body aches and pains. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy that things cost so much these days..
ReplyDeleteBut here's to a new day, maybe the dishwasher will kick into gear again. Just start calling it "thomas".
LOL I was thinking along hte same lines as Nancy! Ohhhhh I have some painting I over here you could do hehe
ReplyDeleteI like that inch by inch mantra.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my five things.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you have about five hundred and fifty-five things right now??!!
Its always good when its a good kind of sore. You know you worked hard then. Keep up on the weights!
ReplyDeleteAahh, yes, I love that "good sore" feeling after weights :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, if you and hubby are looking to do a Turkey Trot, Jeff and I are going to do the one at Kit Karson park. I can't believe he suggested it :) We've never done a 5K together! YAY! I know there's a Turkey Trek, a Hobble Gobble and a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. We're doing the Trot.
oops...I meant Gobbler Hobbler, not Hobble Gobble!! I'm old!
ReplyDeleteI always like to have lots of projects going on at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI read my granddaughter "the tortoise and the hare" last night before bed - and I thought of you!
I love that good sore feeling. We are about to take on our own painting project. Bleck.
ReplyDeleteYou are a crazy lady--in a really good way.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good weekend away from work stess and could do some running in the daylight.
Keep chipping away at it.
