Senior Moment......or dryer malfunction?

Good Lord!! Last night I was home alone and doing laundry. I put a load of towels in the dryer and before I went to bed, I put them on to dry for about 20 more minutes.........that was about 11pm.......well, when I got up this morning, a little after 8am.......the dryer was still running!!!! The timer had not moved past the 20 min. mark....I jerked open the dryer door and luckily my towels were not a pile of ashes..........the dryer didn't get that hot at that setting.........so I am trying again this morning and see if it was a one time fluke or a timer issue on my brand new dryer!!!! The towels were not untouchably hot or anything, so I felt a little better............but not much!!!

Ok....on to new business........I got $100 in child support this week.........woohoo!!! He has been in jail so I guess somebody paid his bond and he got out.............now, if he just gets arrested 181 more times at $100 a trip, my child support will be all caught up.............as of today, he owes Jeremy $18,191.00........how sad is that??? Jeremy's dad is a 50 year old man who is less responsible than anyone I know!! He has no where to live, no job, no visible means of support and no way to support his son!!! There are so many FREE outlets for him to get help with his "illness"/addiction! Betweent he drugs and the alcohol, he won't even try........he has a way of making people feel sorry for him....(raising my hand)......they want to help him.....he takes advantage for a while, then he moves on to the next patsy!
Ok....enough about that.....I have really been trying to just "letitgo"......he's never going to change and I don't want to live my life with him looming in the background like a dementor in Harry Potter!! In hindsight.......I should have never married him.....never gotten involved with him..........but at that time I had the self esteem of a gnat and I would have fallen in love with anyone who showed me attention.....and I did........several times.....Jeremy's dad is just the one who stuck! And he still is.......like gum on my shoe!! On the bright side....I did get Jeremy out of the deal and I wouldn't trade him for a billion bucks!!!!
