Over The Boardwalk

So now I’ve been seething for a few hours now. An ink cartridge that I purchased is not working at all. I’ve tried everything to reset the printer. I also tried to reset the ink cartridge itself.

I’m angry because I can’t fix it. I’ve literally run into a situation where I can fix the thing myself. It’s maddening! It also makes me nervous.

The temperature control button literally fell right off the machine on my dryer as well. I plan on watching it for now to see how well it dries. If it keeps itself on ‘Low’ and doesn’t go anywhere else, it should be fine.

If not, I might have to bust out my toolbox(es) to try to fix it myself.

I’m finding myself fixing a lot of things lately, including my still new dishwasher that vomited up an E4 warning a few days ago along with loud noises and strange choking sounds from itself of it.

How does a machine sound when it’s trying to choke out water? I can’t quite describe it, but to my ears, it sounded like $$$$$ going down the drain!

Fortunately, I was able to fix that! In the manual, the instructions for E4 say to contact customer service and a technician can come out to fix it.

I am a technician technically… but one for computers, not for dishwashers. And I really am not reliable at all with that either.

I’m trying extremely hard to not scream my head off, rn.

I think I will sink into tonight with some snacks and sims and/or writing. I do need to get a kickstart on the chapter fillers for NtC.

Maybe I’ll punch out a short tonight to burn off some stress!

But which genre? I wonder…

And yes, I plan in the AM to go get my doggone mood stabilizers!

Maybe it’ll mellow me out so that I don’t run myself into a frenzy around here.
