billroperI ran down to Grand Appliance and took a look at the dishwashers in person, because sorting things out on the web is subject to difficulties. I decided to pay for the more expensive dishwasher because it is supposed to be quieter, seems better constructed, and has a rounded handle as opposed to a squared-off one. Our kitchen aisles are small and if you figure that each encounter with the squared-off handle costs $1 in terms of pain, the more expensive dishwasher will pay for itself in almost no time. :)
Unfortunately, the New Year's holiday means that the new dishwasher won't be installed until a week from Monday. But as Gretchen said when I told her this, of all of the appliances in the house that you can work around being broken for a week, the dishwasher is probably the easiest to deal with.
My eye is doing ok. There haven't been any further bleeds since the ones yesterday, so that's good. It's going to take a while for all of the debris field to settle out and clear, if the information on the Internet can be believed, and I'm going to call first thing tomorrow morning to try to get an appointment with the specialist. I could try to go to my usual eye doctor, but I am sure that they are swamped at the end of the year and if there's any remedial action required, I would end up at a similar specialist anyway, so...
The kids are having a good time. Most of them have sallied off to the Goodwill store and will be back bearing some combination of things, mostly clothes.
So progress is being made.
