I went through things. Smelling each, tossing some, but mostly it was new food. So... all good? Mostly. I think so.
This refrigerator is bigger than my old one, somehow. By measurements, external ones, it isn't different. But inside there is vastly more room. Three shelves instead of two. The drawers are much larger. Even the door shelves are more and far roomier as well, somehow? It doesn't make sense.
Perhaps they truly engineered the space, rather than just... putting it together without thought? Being smaller, it really isn't a high end refrigerator. Though, of the ones I looked at, it is of the better variety. But they just don't make high end smaller refrigerators, at least not commonly available ones.
In any case, I am well pleased with this refrigerator. For now. Hopefully that continues for a bit. Maybe until I get out of the house? Maybe.
Why not in bed? Would you believe I am too tired? That... is the facts. I need to relax, and ease down, before I can get to bed. I may even take some painpills. Just, those ribs, the legs, hurt. A lot.

Got... lost... Forgot to post this. A package arrived. With, among other things, parts for the old toilet flow valve (or such). I added the part, it fits. Works? That'll... be another day. I'll pull the new, off-brand, one, before long. And try this, and the whole (supposed to be name-brand but isn't) one. See if they work. If they both work, I'll put the old one, the original, back in... with the new part.
The painpills did help. I think it was the pain that was keeping me awake. Mostly just below the surface. Or I was too tired to consciously be aware of it. It's still there, but eased a bit, I should be able to get a nap in.
Still? Very nice. Trach out, and it was picked up. Refrigerator in, leveled, and reloaded. Medicine, both morning and "night" taken (in case I don't wake up soon). The toilet valve refit, just waiting to test. A few emails sent. Hoping for a bit more information back, but got some back.
All very good. Just so tired, and sore even over the painpills. A day or two of rest. Then... back to things. Good morning, and day. Now... get off my porch! Saying that always cheers me up. Even if I don't care if you squat my porch or not. Just... not... that kind of squatting. Bleh. Later.
Let me share something... All spring since my first of the year sighting of Hummingbirds, we put out sugar water for them, our flowers weren't blooming then. I've seen nothing of them this summer (had observable nests in the past) Saw one "swoop" our sprinklers for water. Nothing at the feeders. One hit the Rosemary bush once. Just now saw two hummingbirds "fighting!!!" all over my backyard. Awesome...
ReplyDeleteI like seeing lizards around, they eat nasties... saw a baby (<2"long, good healthy population?) saw two adults frolicking/fighting in the sun... 4to8inchers, did miss the hummingbirds early, lizards too fast for the dogs, missing the songbirds and quail this year.
Opened up the house last night before going to work, temps in the 70's when I got home.
Chicken, bunch of hot sauce samplers (wife) and an apple. Most of the hot sauce sucked... surprising as it is a big brand out here. digestion, good. No nausea for a while though had PRE-nausea, (gag) yesterday for no reason I can find.
Good to hear about your progress, want to hear about the dishwasher, mine's very good.
Anything you had cold, throw in that new Fridge just to drop the temp.
Oh, I put everything cold back in. Had it in the other fridge or coolers, so that helped.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I would love to have hummingbirds about. We do have some birds. I have three forty to fifty foot evergreens of some sort, in the back yard. So I have... some various feathered friends. I won't knock what I have, more that I have little ability to watch and keep up on feed.
Mourning doves, magpies, and many song birds... well and several types of owls and hawks if the owls are only ever heard, and only at night.
Oh, but when I first moved here, there were trees on the side of my shed, on neighbors land. One night, while I was out smoking... in shorts, tshirt, and flipflops... when I used to do pipe? I got well into my pipe, there heard the most rending scream I have ever heard. A mountain lion, probably a young one looking for territory, was up there.
I didn't see him, but sure heard him. That scream... just rips right through you. Thankfully he was no more interested in a tangle than I was. So I just... inched my way over to the door, and almost got in. But my silly cat, at the time, was doing spinning odd-ball moves, until I called her, and herded her in, a bit. Silly cat could have gotten me ripped up a bit. But... all worked out.
With, as we like to say, no blood no foul? It was a beautiful experience. Probably once in a lifetime. The nice thing about being bigger than an adult male black bear is that even a mountain lion... realizes it's... limits.
That's pretty cool, form what you have suggested. Weather move in, or does it just... do that from time to time, or if you keep things open?
Yeah, I avoid all sauces these days. I don't care about the brand. Brand names are often the worst offenders for soy, seed oil, and such. And the flavors are addictive, not nutritious. You do you.
Chicken is a reasonable lean source of protein, though. But, too, sometimes you have to take what you have, or can get. Can't fight every battle, yet. Not until you are ready.
I too had that gag thing, the last two days. So I've been juicing with the non-alcohol bitters. That helps a lot. Tastes like ass, but that only hits for a few seconds. Then the nausea fades well. I think I'll be hitting bitters for the next few days, to week, daily.
