Washing Machine Update

After 11 days and six repairman visits, our lavadora (washing machine) was finally fixed. It needed a new pump!

True to his word last Wednesday evening, the fifth repairman came back on Thursday evening "despues cinco" (after 5) and installed the pump!

I wish I knew more words in Spanish to show the handyman my appreciation of his work!

Now...if we could just get our car back from Honda...it has been in the shop since April 25th, due to the flooding of our parking garage. Apparently, the CRV needs new carpeting and Honda has not been able to get it in stock.

Up until last Friday afternoon, Mike's work lent him a Toyota Yaris...that has fuel pump issues - meaning it is fine to drive, but once you stop, it won't turn back on for awhile...which makes it hard to drive to the grocery store, gas station or run small errands. He had to turn that back in on Friday, as someone else needed it (good luck to him or her!) The new replacement car he was supposed to get on Friday had just come back from the shop...and was deemed unfit to drive. So, it was then sent back.

For the time being, Mike is taking cabs to and from work, which could end up being a bit costly if it continues beyond next week! Good thing he'll be on vacation the rest of this week!

In the meantime, we'll just enjoy our vacation and be glad that we can use our lavadora!
