So after crying myself to sleep last night about my poor little laptop I wake up this morning to find that everything in the freezer is NOT frozen anymore but still pretty cold. Hmmm. . . . that's weird. Maybe I didn't have the door closed all the way. I move some things around and make sure the door's nice and tightly closed. I leave to go Visiting Teaching/take "lappy" to the Geeks at GeekSquad/take the Suburban to get the emergency brake fixed. While at Just Brakes we find out that there is WAAAAY more wrong with the brakes than just the emergency brake not working. Cha-ching. After doing all that I come home to find that everything in the freezer is WAAAAAY squishy and it is obviously NOT working anymore. We call Sears and they can come fix it on Monday. Ummm, not acceptable. We call Rodenbaugh's and they can come look at it now. Apparently some part CAUGHT ON FIRE and melted some little piece to some other part (excuse all my technical terms) of the compressor so now we get to replace the compressor. But Rodenbaugh's would charge about $600 for a new compressor - the price of a brand new FRIDGE - and Sears can't come to fix it until Tuesday. And of course our warranty ran out 3 FREAKIN' WEEKS AGO!!!! We need something NOW. Cha-ching.
Seriously. . . the laptop, the fridge, and the brakes all going out in the same 24 hour period? You have GOT to be KIDDING!
Thankfully the laptop is waiting to be seen by the Geeks, the Suburban is all fixed and we didn't have any major accidents before we found out the problem, and we were able to find a fridge on Craig's list for pretty cheap (coincidentally from a family in the 1st ward, which we totally didn't know!) so I guess we're OK. We're still planning on having Sears come fix the fridge next week. The one we got is super basic/cheap and will be good for just keeping out in the garage for storage. I just hope the house doesn't burn down while we're sleeping because our emergency fund is officially TAPPED! @#$%*!
