Darling love, not a half hour ago I was in frustrated tears because I couldn't get the dishwasher started

thoughts of you were a great comfort

turns out you have to press the start button for a full three seconds - not hit it every three seconds

afterward all happy thoughts of you came along

recharging batteries as I speak
XOXO
