So, Ana fell off the porch yesterday

down the stairs, landed at the bottom of the stoop, and then had a wagon crash on top of her arm.

She's fine, thank goodness, but we spent several hours at the doctor's office making sure and her arm is bruised and hurty, which put the kibbosh on today's plans as well.

Our dryer is doing this weird thing where it's heating up just fine to start, and then the heat is shutting off. I *think* this is a problem with the thermostat (I love google), but upon close inspection I find I don't like the way the drum of the dryer looks. The grille where the heat comes in looks... really bad. I should find out if we're still under warranty.
