CountryMouse's Refuge

I took a nap while the fridge was cooling down. I should've set it to colder; because when I checked it, the temp. was around 40oF.---not as cold as I like to keep it. So I turned it down, and checked in another half hour. The freezer was well below -10oF. (yay!), and the refrig. part was closer to 32oF. I like to keep it hovering just above freezing.

So we put everything back in. Sorta a mistake to put the room temp. things in right away, because now the fridge has been running too long, I think, trying to get EVERYthing cold. ::sigh:: I hope it rests pretty soon.

Hey, surrounding the cartons of milk with all that ice actually started to FREEZE the milk! I had chunky VERY COLD milk with my late meal. :-P

Well, I did all the catching water in pots and pans, filling the bathtub with water, etc. stuff. They were supposed to shut the water off about 24 minutes ago, but I don't know if they're even out there. Maybe they rescheduled? They did that once before...

Well, I'm feeling revived from that nap, so I think I'll check out some LJ's and maybe hit IRC in a bit too. :-)

they turned off the water , they paved. The water was off all night, as promised; but they did pave over the place in the road out front that has for a month or so had a big metal plate over it, making thump-BUMP noises everytime a car went over it.

The refrigerator is once again decorated with magnets and notes and phone numbers and so on. Now it looks like it should. :-D

Sleepy--I need a nap. I don't think I have been getting enough sleep the last few nights.

Got the grocery list done, which really is like doing inventory of our "stock" too.:-D

And had some pound cake and milk. I need to add some extra calories here and there, because I don't eat very much at meals, nor that much fat. I have been losing weight, and I want to stop that skid before I become tooo thin. I am at 113 lbs. right now (I'm only 5'2" tall), so that's not too skinny. But I think anything lower than 107 lbs. would not be really good for me.

Feeling somewhat melancholy for no particular reason today...

Oh, I was just looking through the mood icons and realized how very grateful I am that the water wasn't turned off during my Lady MacBeth days, when I had conjunctivitis and HAD to wash my hands Really Frequently.

Still sorta sleepy/sluggish...
