Our fridge broke overnight. I had to move everything to the basement fridge first thing this morning. I could dwell on how much of a drag this is and bemoan having to potentially shell out for a new fridge if it can’t be fixed. I could stew about the fact the repair guy just called and said his vehicle broke down so he’ll be an hour late outside the four hour window he’s supposed to show up. Or, I can be grateful I have the flexibility to accommodate a changing repair schedule, the fact we have a fridge and a backup fridge, that there are repair people in our area (hopefully talented lol), the funds to pay for said repair all in a home I love. Silver linings. I try to see them among the clouds. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't.

@FatStacksBlog yeah, always a bright side. my neighbor's fridge broke and the landlord didn't replace it for months. she eventually had to buy a mini fridge as it was coming into summer. we live in small apartments, no backup basement fridges :>

@FatStacksBlog oh man, that sounds like a whole morning scramble. good call seeing the small perks even while dealing with the hassle.
