Jan. 14th, 2019 04:37 pmWe have a new refrigerator. I washed the inside and then waited for it to cool enough for me to put the food back. The delivery guy said three hours for that which worked out to right around when Cordelia got home.
The frozens are still in the basement freezer. The fridge stuff was in the garage. Cordelia helped me get everything back inside. I still have to go out and take down the card table before Scott comes home. If I leave it up, he's likely to run it right over when he gets home because he won't be able to see it. I'm just giving myself ten to fifteen minutes to warm up before I go back outside.
It looks like we're going to have to have someone in to do a little electrical work in the kitchen. The new fridge has a shorter cord than the old one. There's an outlet it can reach, and it's running fine, but it's not one of the ones we upgraded when we moved in. We want to be sure that this outlet can handle the load, long term. The circuit breaker hasn't tripped, so I think we're okay. I just want to be sure.
We don't have a date set yet for the dishwasher installation.
Saturday evening was the choir concert. Well, the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra concert. The choirs only sang during the second half. We sat on the ground floor this time rather than in one of the balconies. I found it a much better experience. I had vertigo issues last year, and that combines badly with agoraphobia.
Of course, I didn't have the same level of agoraphobia issues at this year's concert. It was weird because I was much less worried than I had been. I don't miss the migraine and nausea that I expected.
This is not to say that I got a lot out of the concert. I don't have the sort of ear for music that would let me appreciate what I was hearing. I'm mostly in the 'yeah, that's nice' camp when listening to choirs and symphonies. I think Cordelia enjoyed the concert, though, and us being there mattered to her. It wasn't much different from attending one of her softball games back when she was doing Rec & Ed sports. (I'm mainly going with softball because the duration was similar.)
My body has decided to stop feeling constantly too warm. I had to pull out an extra blanket two days ago, and my legs have been aching. The joints in the legs were hurting enough Thursday night that I was near to whimpering and really didn't expect to sleep. Moving didn't change anything; mainly, heat helped.
I'm a little peeved that my feeling too warm all the time has vanished in mid-January rather than in mid-June. I don't know if this is just some sort of perimenopause fluctuation or if it's related to my having increased my salt intake. I'm assuming that the lower anxiety at the concert relates to the salt just because it fits with how I felt Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
I hosted a write-in yesterday with two guests, one of them our niece. I wrote slightly more than 2000 words. I've got less than two weeks to finish this story, and I don't think it's more than half done. I haven't written anything yet today, and I have a dental appointment tomorrow and will need to run some errands while I'm out. I've got the rest of the week clear after that. I'm pretty sure I can get to the end of the story by the end of the week.
