Raging dream, new washer??

I forgot to mention last night I had a bizarre and disturbing dream.  I was in the office working on the computer.  I came out to the kitchen for something and I see that the house is flooded with water.  Ali was working on trying to clean it up although the water was still flowing from the utility room.

I went BESERK.  I start screaming at her “Why the F didn’t you call me!!!”  I look in the utility room and one of the knobs on the wall that controls the water is gone with only a bare post remaining.  I run out to the garage and grab a pliers and shut the water off.

My attention one again turns to Ali as I look at the wet disaster all around us.  I was literally insane with rage.  I continued screaming my disbelief that she would not have called me out as the house was flooding with water.  I screamed and screamed and screamed some more.  I couldn’t believe this was happening.  Luckily it didn’t.  I was so mad in my dream that it actually woke me up.

I’m pretty laid back 99% of the time but when I get angry, I mean really angry, it’s pretty scary.  I’m talking ME HULK, ME SMASH!! sort of angry.

Needless to say I did not have a very restful nights sleep.

Florida is doing a short term rebate program for upgrading appliances.  It’s basically cash for clunkers.  Just like C for C, there is a finite amount of money available for rebates, 17 million and change.  The potential savings are considerable.  20% of the purchase price plus $75 if you recycle the old appliance.

I need to talk to Ali about it but it may be a good time to upgrade our washer.
