my refrigerator broke. there was frost all over the back inside of the freezer. and the freezer wasn't blowing ice cold air like it usually does. and my ice cream was getting soft. i told my boyfriend about it. and i told him that i need to call the property management company so, that they can send someone over to fix it. my boyfriend was like maybe it just needs to be unplugged. so, i was like ok. that would mean i would have to empty the damn thing. and i just bought a big bag of ice and i knew that was going to make a mess if i left it in there. so, not wanting to do it at that moment i put it off. so, later my boyfriend goes in the kitchen opens up the freezer and goes "there's frost all over the back of the freezer. we're going to need to unplug this today" yeah. i said "that's why i told you i wanted to call to have them send someone out to fix it". then he says "the freezer is making a weird noise". i heard it earlier too. and now i'm wondering if when i told him that it needed to be fixed if his brain was checked out somewhere completely to playstation2 land fighting fire breathing monsters in the depths of some kind of spaceship or something. at this point though i was online and he starts moving the fridge to unplug it. now i'm yelling. "you can't do that right now there's food in there there's a whole bag of ice in there everything will get all wet and start to stink i have to empty the damn thing." so, now he gets defensive and he's like "well, it has to be done today". so, i said "it does but, not while i'm online i need to be in there and empty it." so, after a minute more he gives up and leaves the kitchen. i stop what i'm doing and i go in there. i start emptying it and then i move the fridge to unplug it. he sees me moving the fridge and starts saying that i don't have to move it all the way into the middle of the kitchen. he says this while he's laying down on the livingroom floor playing playstation2. and i'm standing here at 5'2" with my arms around the fridge about to say that i need to make room for my little arms to reach around to the back of the fridge and unplug it. but, i don't say anything. i just give him the look. and he goes back to playing his game after staring at me for a minute. i knew he was about 30 seconds away from coming in there to see just how far i had the fridge moved. anyway, i unplugged it and moved it back showing him how i can always move it back. that was so, funny. if you could have seen us i think we probably looked a little bit like ricky and lucy from the lucille ball show if some of you don't know what i'm talking about. yeah. i just showed my age. we went out driving later last night and he apologized to me and bought me an ice cream push up. anyway, i get up this morning and it's hot in the bedroom. so, i turn on the air conditioner and after a few minutes i get up and throw some sweat shorts and a t-shirt on and i go clean out the fridge. and while i'm doing that i kept remembering him saying something to me last night "how about you clean tomorrow". and the whole time i'm bent over cleaning with bleach and sweating half stuffed into the fridge. and i kept hearing that over and over. so, i went into the bedroom and turned off the air conditioner. don't worry. it was nice and cold in there. and he was wrapped up all nice in the blankets sleeping comfortably. while i stood there sweating with bleach pruned fingers. i'm laughing about it now. i'm a little snot. but, that's me. anyway, i've been taking a break from cleaning the fridge and i'm almost done. all i have to do now is clean the drawer and the shelves that i pulled out. so, i'm going to go do that now so, that i can be done with it.
