Brrr...$99 is better than $1,000

I worked from home today. Why? My refrigerator went ka-pooey on Saturday night. Everything was ruined. I threw away 3 bags of food from the frig. The bags weren't jam-packed full, but food is heavy even before it goes to my hips. Who knew?

Anyway, the frig was warm when I woke up on Sunday morning. I was told that the freezer should be okay, but by mid-afternoon, I discovered mushy popsicles. I cooked a bunch of stuff that I thought Sophie might eat. Nope...having none of it. She asked me for chicken strips and tater tots all day on Saturday (breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snack) and for Sunday breakfast. When I made boxes of chicken and bags of tots, she didn't want any of it. My stay-out-until-midnight-girl was napping and couldn't help me eat anything I cooked up. So, I pigged out until I felt sick.

I didn't like the frozen veggie lasagna or the oven reds, but I loved the gluten-free waffles and sweet potato fries. So, when restocking, I will definitely buy with that in mind.

So, what was wrong with the refrigerator, you ask? What cost me $99 for a service call?



A broken screw!

(Better than $1,000 for a new frig though, which is what a replacement would have cost.)
