My 'new' refrigerator should be here, soon [View all]

Just as a catch up, while I had out of town company my refrigerator, but not the freezer, started warming. My dryer broke. My car started acting up. It's stressful enough having company and worrying about how it's affecting Carys, without major stuff going kaput.

I bought a refurbished refrigerator with a bottom freezer that will be delivered very soon. Meanwhile, there's an old refrigerator in the pantry/laundry room that is non functional so I 've used it to store big pans. That will be pulled out and turned over to Consumer's Energy. I guess they give you about $100. The semi-functioning fridge will move to that spot. I can use that freezer space to start moving stuff from the ancient but still functioning freezer that's in the garage. I'd like something newer and smaller. AND the semi-cold refrigerator part will serve as a beverage storage place.

Unfortunately, the new one will be temporarily going to a less than optimum spot until the family has time to move the totally dead one to the garage, for pick up, the semi working one to the spot that one occupied, and the new one to where the refrigerator should be. Sounds like a lot of work but nothing has to be moved very far.

Oh, and I also have a new, stacked washer dryer that needs to be installed in the laundry room The current washer will go to Habitat for Humanity. The dryer will go to the curb for the scrap metal collecting guys.

I can't WAIT for my trip through appliance hell to end.

Oh, and the car is (supposedly) a quick, easy, inexpensive fix. I'm just waiting for my mechanic to get the part.

I'm very thankful for my new medication because, so far, I haven't thrown and broken anything, or had anything even resembling a 'melt down'.
