if it's not one thing...

Thunder was driving to Lowes on Monday (or maybe it was Sunday) when he noticed that the truck was overheating. Looks like something's wrong with the thermostat and it needs to be replaced. On Tuesday night, I went to get our coffee ready for the next morning when I realized the coffeemaker wasn't working. Yesterday, I was doing a load of laundry when the washing machine gave out on me. First it blew the circuit breaker...we switched it back on....then it made a loud sound before blowing it again.... Now it won't turn on and it smells funny...like something's burning. Today, I was trying to get some work done after not having been able to over the holidays, when the computer totally crashed...actually died is a better term...we don't know if it works anymore. Gah! It's been a rough couple of days....
