I'll move on if I sit tight

[sovay]

Tonight in a move of true insult to injury, our dishwasher which we never use tried to flood the kitchen. Many towels were sacrificed. Many floorboards were mopped. We shut off the water under the sink, pulled the plug for good measure, and bailed out the inside of the dishwasher, but suspect we will need to call for a plumber no matter what. For consolation, we watched the first four episodes of Apple TV+'s Foundation (2021–). I wish Patricia McKillip were alive so I could tell her how formatively she imprinted me for millennially long games.

My dishwasher once sent out flames, but luckily didn't set anything further on fire. Also I was away and couldn't be blamed and I had been longing for a new dishwasher, so it might have been much worse.

Okay, that's unusual.

I am glad it took itself out so helpfully.
