The work on the major admin forms seems to be completed after much grinding and gnashing of teeth. That is the major accomplishment of the day. Machines seem to be opposing my will today. The washing machine stopped in mid-spin on the final rinse cycle. This, after completing two loads without issues. Fishing clothing and a large sheet out of the water and then trying to wring the water from these items was challenging. I'll have to call the landlord tomorrow to see when a repair person might be able to check on this and let me clean things. A few remaining clothing items can be washed by hand in the sink, so that is on tap for tomorrow. On another note, when I went to check the weather just after getting up this morning, there was no picture showing on the television screen -- just a big logo of the service we pay to put the picture there. A phone call to report the difficulty determined that there was no signal from the modem getting to the receiver -- the receiver wasn't receiving. Tomorrow is the earliest they could book a repair visit. Not sure when, but apparently we will get a call telling us when they might arrive during the day. The other television is able to show what is playing at the moment, but that pvr seems not to work. So much for my weekend catch-up with the recorded programs and a couple of movies from the last week. <sigh>. I'm sure I'll manage, but this messes with my usual routine for relaxation. Hopefully, things can be fixed easily tomorrow and some things can get back to usual.
An historical note on my social media feed noted that 47 years ago today, Instant Karma was written, recorded, and mixed at Abbey Road Studios all in that single day -- one of the fastest released songs in history. It was available in stores within ten days. Now the title made me wonder if the mechanical failures were linked to some karmic debt I owe. Hmm. Enjoy!
Instant Karma! -- John Lennon
