Joy Break 10.25

1. I fixed our dryer today all by myself. It turns out that the vent was stuffed full of years of lint (which I figured and had already borrowed my parents' dryer snake) and the exterior exhaust was completely blocked. So when the clothes would not dry this morning, I disassembled the dryer vent inside to snake it, then I headed out with the ladder to come in from the outside. Once I had all the lint on me and out of the vent, the dryer seems to be doing just fine. Go me.
2. Reading. I just love getting into a really good book and not wanting it to end. But even better is when you pick up a book you've already read and you get that same feeling even though you know the entire story already. I'm re-reading Twil.ight and New.Moon before the movie is released next month, and I still can't put it down!
3. Soup. I know I already said this, but today I'm making chicken & dumpling soup for dinner and I'm hungry just thinking about it. I. Love. Soup!
