Sometimes Preps are Useful Even When it’s NOT an Emergency!
Last week or so our dryer decided it was going to stop working properly. As luck would have it, the washer and dryer and the ONLY two appliances we’re responsible for in our rental contract so until I figure out how to fix it or get someone else to do so, we’re stuck with either…
