A Bit of Murphy

April 4th, 2025 at 06:27 pm

I have noticed in the past month that my refrigerator, the freezer part specifically, kept building up hard ice. Not the frosty kind, but hard ice. And sometimes water pooled in the fridge. It looked like it had to be draining tube problem, according to Google, but there was no way I could fix it myself. So I called an appliance repairman, and to my shock, it was $340 to make the repair! This was not what I needed.

But, good news, I did pass my road test and I'm driving again! At first it felt weird, but now it feels like I'm back in the groove.

Groceries have already cost me $80 in these few days. I tried very hard to stick to ingredients, not prepared foods, and to focus on sale items, but still -- way more than I wanted to pay.

This is going to be tough. I haven't looked at my 403b yet. I'm sure it isn't pretty.

    Don't look! Don't look! It will be scary!

    Good deal on getting your license. Sorry about the fridge. But cheaper than a new fridge.

    The price of groceries is up so much that I think we are all going to struggle trying to keep within our budget.

    CONGRATS ON BEING LEGALLY ROAD-READY AGAIN!

    I know what the DMV is trying to achieve overall, but the way it drags all this out is just borderline obscene.

    Haha, Tabs, you make me laugh! So true!
