I woke up today when my clock read exactly "12:00" on the dot. Which meant subtract 1 hour and 24 minutes and you get the real time I woke up(thus, before 11) I jumped out of bed in a panic for some strange reason, thinking I was late for something. Only then did I realize I'd only gone to sleep at 8am so I probably should go back to sleep. I lie down and not a minute later, my doorbell goes off 5 times quickly. Which means it's the maintenance man. So I shout "one minute!" throw on a shirt, pull on jeans (forgetting underwear) and race to the door.
Not only is he there(a month and several days after I called) but he's got ANOTHER fridge sitting right out there for me! So I quickly moved things away from in front of the door and locked my cat in the bedroom. Then he and I take stuff out of the freezer- and even he remarks as to how warm my fridge is. All that was in there was salad dressing (which I tossed) and two drinks (which didn't need to be refrigerated anyway). So he moves the old one out- lots of dirt and dust everywhere- and the "new" one in, and then I reload and vacuum.
I think the fridge came from the people above me and to the side who just moved out last week. The new fridge is exactly like my old one- only it looks a little more beaten up and, hopefully, keeps things cold(BIG difference)! And the doors swing out into the middle of the kitchen instead of towards the wall like they're supposed to, so I have to rearrange my garbage and recycling cans. But ACK! Being able to have cold things again!!!! Peanut butter! Butter butter! Cream cheese! Cheese cheese! Yogurt! Eggs! Syrup! Produce! YAY!!! Sooooooo happy!!!!!
OK... so I've had 3 hours of sleep... I'm going to get a heating pad for my leg and flop back down in bed. Ug... I'm all hot now from vacuuming... want to shower again... But YAY! A fridge!!!!! I would have liked a phone call saying they were coming... or even a guy coming by first to check to be sure my fridge really wasn't working right. But the guy was like "Wow... this really is warm." And I showed him the thermometer reading "63degF"
Wow... Happy early Christmas to me!
