A Different Day

Well today (yesterday?) was quite unexpectedly different. We discovered our refrigerator was not cooling late yesterday and today I spent a good portion of the day trying to figure out whether to repair or replace it. Researching refrigerator prices was quite an eye opener. Those things are expensive! Was got home from shopping just As the appliance repair man was pulling up. He diagnosed it and we decided that to repair it today was better than trying to find a reasonably priced new model quickly. $370 and 3 hours later, it is on it's way to being fixed and is cool enough to use meanwhile. Mr. Appliance will be back tomorrow to replace the heater thingy that isn't letting it defrost properly. Oh, and he fixed the malfunctioning ice maker while he was at it--we mow have auto-ice for the first time in 2 years :).
