Refrigerator hugs or happy Friday!


My fridge died yesterday and the maintenance guy brought the new one up the stairs this morning. 5 stars because I don't care what brand it was as long as it works. Are all vacations like this? Stuff falls apart when you have time to really notice what is going on around you? I don't take time off very often, just asking for a friend (me).

All the refrigerators that broke down through out the years remembered wistfully as the whirlpool was hand trucked out. It's an appliance I love and hate.
#newfridge #apartmentliving #memories

you are welcome.


Happy Bastille day?


My dog told me it was okay to go back to bed but I'm at work anyway. A holiday declared by pets would need a spokesanimal to lay down the law worldwide, someone to really put their paw down firmly.
Happy Friday!
