Day eleven: Only 3 more days until the world is COVID free. Right? Heather went to work today... they have a thermometer, ours doesn't work, so we send her in to be tested each day, theory being if she's not sick, we aren't sick... and as a bonus she gets overtime money to make up for when they inevitably close the doors... there were less people in her core shack than in our house... party of one, no one in the way. Lawson's major concern this morning was the goalies on his team. For some reason on the roster they had the All-Star goalie as backup for the Rookie... it upset him because he couldn't pull the rookie 5 minutes into the 1st period. LOL, he's going to make a fun coach to play minor hockey for... He then took a stab at finishing off the crumpets, homemade butter is almost gone. So we found that biome with the soulsand, -1000, 76, -950, we had been 1600 blocks off center in more than one other direction and that's a lot of travel for the nether. And dear lord we found where the Ghasts live, at one point there were 6 of them circling our heads. Pretty much out of arrows and no place to restock the situation turned grim as we resorted to hitting the fireballs they hurl at us back at them as a primary means of attack. Lawson remembered to bring the new nether anchor to set his spawn point in the nether, he put it down, charged it up and then was set on fire (again), let's just say he got some use out of that new toy. After lunch we got back to fixing the dishwasher. I completely took the rest of the sump and pumps out of the machine, cracked them open and cleaned out the insides, nothing that a normal person should ever have to do to a dishwasher I might add... don't I find a broken rubber check valve mixed in with the debris mostly blocking one of the ports on the pump assembly, $4.95 part makes the machine useless... but it did confirm what I had figured the problem was in the first place, the drain backing up into the machine... one hose couldn't be salvaged and I will look for a new check valve this week when the stores are open... they are going to open right? Maybe I'll just show the boy how to wash dishes. Anyway I put it all back together so I could flip the breaker back on as the gas stove runs off the same circuit and because lighting the stove with a lighter is just to much trouble, lol... so now since we've lived here, I've had apart and repaired the fridge, the stove, the dishwasher, the clothes drier... but when it came to the washing machine having intermittent problems, I looked at it, said fuck that, and bought a new one. So that's about where I draw the line in the sand. So with getting the stove back working and enough space in the kitchen to move, breakfast was for dinner, bacon, poached eggs, bagels, pancakes, sausage... quick and simple, no fuss or muss. Lawson played on the internet for a bit, I grabbed a shower and we packed it in early tonight. March break is over... back to school in the morning. Maybe a will have him read a french book, he does have a new french recipe book around and I could use breakfast in bed... ah, homeschooling  - Maybe I will get French Toast, who knows.
