Yep.
Around here, when we do things, we do them weird. Go hard or go home, I guess.
Anyway, we have two houses (which in itself is odd), and the refrigerator in Second House that's older than me finally died. Instead of shrugging and just assuming that now we'll just use one, my father insisted on getting a new one. So we're putting our fridge over there and putting the brand new one in our house, which means a lot of fridge finagling. Getting a new fridge is a lot like moving, in that you have to throw out a lot of stuff you'd rather have kept but can't justify moving, it's difficult, involves opening all the doors and letting the bugs and heat in, and involves people who have lived in a house for 23 years not having any idea how their house actually works (we can't find the switch to turn off the water supply to the ice maker, so we have to turn off ALL THE WATER which means we have NO WATER IN THE HOUSE I have to pee so badly :( But my father tried a variety of methods to keep water from shooting out from the pipe that connects to the ice maker, which was hilarious. At one point a cap thing ricocheted off like a champagne cork and I am glad I lived to see it because it was AMAZING.)
So tonight we waited until my father came home from work around midnight and then he and my mother, Boyfriend, and I moved the fridge next door and carried all the stuff in it over there so it can stay cool until the new one arrives. (Which means we're going to have to move ALL THE FOOD BACK OVER HERE AGAIN).
The fact that we were doing all of this at one o'clock in the morning just proves my point that we do stuff weird.
The new fridge is supposed to come at some point between 9 and 12 this morning. ALLEDGEDLY. I really, really have to go to the bathroom and I really don't want to have to run next door. Hopefully I can hold it till the water gets turned back on.
I'm happy to meet our new appliance friend, though. They managed to get a nice discount on it. They were going to get the floor model which knocked a few hundred off the price, but instead the people (whoever decides these things) are giving them a brand new in box one for the same price.
I am really just typing this nonsense rn to distract myself. OKAY FINE BLADDER I GIVE IN.
