new fridge

[seishun]

not really of interest to anyone (like anyone's still reading this!) BUT this morning the fridge started making a noise like the compressor was starting to die. it's been getting noisier in recent days but this… this was a truly awful sound. so, rather than wait for it to give up the ghost, we went to Home Depot to get a new one. we came away with a nice LG fridge. it's stainless, which i don't love, BUT it has the fridge on top and the freezer on the bottom, and it's hard for us to get down and get stuff off the bottom shelf and out of the crisper drawers and they're now easily accessible with a minimum of fuss. i'm very happy with this. i'm less happy that we had to buy one at all, but at least we found one that will make our lives better.
