Last week was the dishwasher (which is still leaking and not fixed) and this week was the car. This one is so obnoxious that it’s almost laughable.

A few weeks ago Tom left on a Monday morning to got to work.

I think our dishwasher has a slow leak. Actually, I am positive that our dishwasher has a slow leak that has been spreading under the floors in the kitchen.
