Day: December 18, 2022

So last we met it was battle number four or five. We are on to seven, eight or nine by now. This damn fridge. The very last time, last week, I shut off all water to/from the fridge, and emptied out the lines as best I could, and today we had to thaw it again, to let another 2L of water out the bottom. I only just cleaned off all the exterior intakes from the underneath portion I could reach with a long brush and a vacuum extension hose. But to no avail. At this point I have to wonder if we have a sleep Walker who is dumping pint glasses of water into the fucking thing. I don’t understand how a mostly empty freezer, with no water feed can accumulate nearly 3 Liters of water in its vents every week or so. Where is it all coming from? Is there a holding tank inside the machine I’m not aware off that is leaking, or slowly expressing vapour into the freezer chamber? I don’t get it. I just can’t figure out where all this excess water is coming from, or how a freezer set to 6° is kicking off and freezing over constantly. I will get to the bottom of this at some point. But God Damn. What a son of a bitch! I hate this machine so much right now. All the seals have been cleaned. The latch catches, the vents are never blocked off, the inlets are clean, the air flow path inside the fridge is not blocked. Next step is the $100.00 diagnostic call to the repairman. Or buying a whole new fridge in 2023. Bah! Humbug.

More of an annoyance than anything else. Still has me sneezing and blowing my nose multiple times hourly though. Feel a little more tired than usual, but seeing as I live with chronic fatigue that doesn’t tell me much. But, what I believe will be the last major project I’ll get this year, has just come in, so at least I know what I am going to work on this week.

I could, if need be, push it off until the new year, but I find it hard to sleep when I know I have paid work left laying around untouched. Why put off until tomorrow what I can do today. I may not put eight hours into it today, but I’d be surprised if I go to bed tonight without doing at least an hours worth of work on it. Will make me feel better, and I’ll be able to sleep knowing I don’t have the whole thing still out in front of me.

Hard to believe we are already up to the 18th of December. This whole month is whizzing by just as fast as November. If you haven’t had the chance yet, heed my warning, and go do some Holiday gift retrieval for your loved ones. The longer you leave it the worse the traffic, parking, line ups and crowds will get. Not only that but the shelves will look most decidedly picked over. On the positive side, perhaps your made them something from the heart in which case you don’t need to brave the cold and the masses. In that case, a tip of the hat to you! Otherwise, get cracking, times a wasting! All the best. Ciao Bella!
