Sometime today, our refrigerator stopped refrigerating. The good news is that it waited long enough that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude was able to cook, and all of us to eat, a fine roast chicken dinner. We currently have a few things stashed in a cooler, with an emphasis on getting me out the door tomorrow functional and with lunch available: hence, some cooked chicken in a ziploc bag, an unopened quart of milk, and an unopened quart of yogurt. Also the ginger paste, because it was so much of a nuisance to find, and a stick of butter on general principles. Watermelon, blueberries, onions, and various jams are being trusted to survive for a little while on their own.
It's possible that ice got into a piece of the machinery, in which case the problem will resolve itself, at the cost of the contents of our refrigerator and freezer. If not, Cattitude will track down the super and arrange for a new fridge--the landlord, not us, owns and maintains the appliances.
Also, there's a sign up next to the elevator, dated today, saying there will be no hot water "12 a.m. to 12 p.m." because of boiler repair. We have no idea of what the person who posted this (who has a dubious grasp of English) meant by that--midnight to noon, or noon to midnight? We're guessing, though it doesn't say, that it will be tomorrow. Assuming, of course, that this isn't just some bored person's idea of a joke.
