Oh, Happy Day

I hugged my refrigerator. Yes, it is a bit out there, but I missed having cold food! We don't always realize how addicted we are to modern conveniences (electricity, running water, refrigeration, etc.) until we don't have them. I am a happy camper today--I have a refrigerator.

The delivery guy (who REALLY reminded me of Matthew Fox) called about an hour before he was scheduled to be here and asked if he could come early--how often do you hear of someone being ahead of schedule? When he got here, it was determined that the frig couldn't be brought through the door--the doors had to be removed from the frig and K had to remove part of the storm door just to get the thing into the house. It didn't take all that long to get it in place and leveled. I then had to clean the inside and outside and plug it in to start cooling. I managed to get everything we had in the cooler into the frig and then we went to the grocery store to get what was needed to fill the new addition.

This is going to take some getting used to. First, the inside is laid out VERY differently from the old refrigerator. Secondly, it is not as big as the old one. But, I do think I will be even more pleased than I am now once I am fully used to having it.

Thus concludes my VERY snooze-worthy saga of the death of my old appliance and purchase of the replacement. I want to hear everyone give a collective sigh of relief and shout, "Thank goodness!" I would promise that I will never mention my frig again, but I have learned to never say never. (But I highly doubt you will be hearing more about it!) :)

  1. LOL! Our microwave blew a fuse a while ago, so I can definitely appreciate our modern household appliances. Sounds like a dither of a time getting it into the house!
    When we had Christmas Eve at our house, I realized someone had TURNED OUR FRIDGE OFF! You have to MANUALLY turn the dial to zero, so there were ZERO chances it happened by accident. At least my chocolate milk didn't go bad!
    Doing that 'getting to know you better' today.

  2. I am thankful for the fact that the old frig didn't die all at once and with no warning. We had power out for a few days a couple of years back and it is no fun going through a frig full of unusable stuff. :) It was soooooo nice to have actual COLD juice to drink today!

Being In a Funk

I'm still having a bit of a funk going on in my life. To be expected, I guess. But, it REALLY is affecting me to see my best friend ...
