Finally feeling better after getting sick from the flu shot.  When I realized the evening of the day that I got the flu shot that I also had the stomach bug that Hubby had last week I knew I was in trouble!  On a related note, the flu this year is really awful; I highly recommend getting a flu shot and trying to avoid contracting the flu in any way you can possibly think of!

I also had to deal with a broken washing machine yesterday!  If you own a Whirlpool washer and it suddenly decides it no longer wants to agitate or spin, your problem is likely the motor coupling.  You can confirm this by moving your washing machine and checking to see if their is a pile of black dust under the machine.

If you find this you can fix your washing machine if you are even remotely handy.  Their are tons of videos on YouTube about how to repair the motor coupling that are very easy to follow.  Motor couplings are readily kept in stock by my local appliance parts store for about $21, or you can buy them for a third of that price on amazon.  Even with the price charge by the local store for the part, I'm sure I still came out ahead of the price of calling a repair person!
