I Know I'm Going To Be Hated And It Isn't Even 10AM

So, in yesterday's post I blamed the bird for the beeping fridge. During the night, when the bird is sleeping, more beeping, this morning, more beeping! So I watched each-hard to see a bird's lips move! Then I moved closer to the fridge, I rechecked everything, the noise is definitely coming from the fridge. Everything is shut, nothing is flashing, but the dang beeping. I turned off all the alarms but I know this is a band aid solution, I need to call the repair man.

The poor repair department must hate to answer the phone and think we are all psychotic and do nothing but break warrantied appliances for someone to visit with. It isn't true I swear, but.. a lot of stuff has been breaking lately! Our dishwasher hates us. It either takes vacations, leaves us completely to be reincarnated with a newly ordered part or leaks or all of the above. Now, the new fridge. Did I mention the old freezer is kaput too? I hate to have to remind them once again of the rebate I was to receive of ($200-$300) and never got. Bless their hearts anyways. Heck, bless mine while we're at it!

Then the poor little boys of mine, they've been lectured since yesterday and more sternly this morning - pre-discovery, about closing the doors of the fridge all the way, etc. Ugh. I have a lot to atone for it sounds like. "Sounds" being the operative word of choice!

I'd have a second cup of coffee to relax to before making the dreaded call to the service department but I would need to make a new pot and who knows what kind of stuff could go wrong with that process given the current realm of things in the "possessed kitchen". Did you know my phone will not work in the kitchen? Odd / related / is there a haunting of an over worked repair man there or what???? Oh, and yes, you caught me, again. I am so neurotic about recycling and not wasting stuff that I even will often drink a cup of left-over, day-old coffee. Then the creamer lid gets tossed and the creamer bottle recycled when that's gone. At least I'm not to the point of my ex-grand-mother-in-law, she re-used paper napkins until each square was dirtied, then it could be tossed. You'd think I lived through the depression with her huh? If I get that bad, somebody hunt me down and shoot me OK? No offence to the dearly departed ex-Grams.

I will attempt to be optimistic, make coffee without fear, call regarding my kitchen appliances from a safe distance from my kitchen and then, who knows what the day will hold after 10AM? Oh my gosh, it is now 10:04AM - save me and wish me luck!!!! If you don't hear from me for a while, the appliances won, sadly. The good news is the repairman is very kind and no "plumber butt-itis" is suffered through by anyone. Praise God for that! Bye Dear Readers, Be Well, Be Blessed, Be Liked, Be appliance-problem-free. By the way, I'm now promoting earplugs if anyone else has a parrot and a "robot" fridge gone crazy!
