Well my refrigerator must not be a Capricorn because the freezer went ka-put over the weekend. Fortunately I noticed it and was able to evacuate the most valuable (and potentially stinky) of the contents to a neighbor’s house before it all thawed out.
I called maintenance yesterday and kept my fingers crossed for a speedy fix. The fridge was still cold so it couldn’t be that serious right?
The repair guy decided that he needed to take it away to fix a freon leak. At least that’s what I think he said. He’d arrange a loaner for me in the meantime.
That all sounds pretty reasonable until I tell you I live in a fourth floor walk up. Just take a look at these stairs:
I felt bad for the TWO (incredibly strong) guys who showed up at my door with the replacement. They were obviously winded and tired, but it’s Ramadan so I can’t even offer them a glass of water to refresh themselves before hauling the broken fridge back down again. And they get to repeat the process in a couple of days.
In spite of all that excitement I did meet my writing goal yesterday and expect to again today as well. This BICHOK really does the trick sometimes.
Well I started to leave a comment then received a phone call which led to me going to the store… but wanted to say that I really enjoy your blog!
