Refrigerator is getting iffy. It has stopped running twice today, and the 2nd time was after I managed to get a long vacuum cleaner extension all the way to the back under the fridge where the coils are. I vacuumed up a ton of stuff, and I hoped that would help, then it stopped again, and I have no way to clean the coils from behind the refrigerator. Messed around back there with a long wooden stick, started running again. We need to get those coils cleaned ASAP, but that is not an easy proposition. My daughter has a choir singing thing tonight. I have a periodontal dental cleaning tomorrow morning, and my daughter is having a birthday party Saturday with now about half the girls having to arrive an hour early (yay, more time to spend with pre-teens and worse, the annoying parents who do not just drop their kids off & leave, one mom never ever does & she wants to talk all the time). The birthday party itself is enough to undo me, and this refrigerator problem is worrying me a lot.

Things haven't been going well for me today. Went to my pharmacy, which is inside a grocery store. I had to get a few things, and at checkout, I realized I had gotten the extra cheesy Goldfish my daughter hates. And the lady in the express lane in front of me had like 50 items and the cashier was casually chatting with her, slowly bagging. Ugh. Went to the pharmacy section afterwards to get my prescriptions. One of them apparently was crediting the system, so the pharmacy tech had to refill it from scratch again. I should have gotten the right Goldfish then; it took her awhile, and she's good at her job, she's seen me a lot since I'm on god-awful numbers of meds and does her job efficiently. It's all the insurance billing, paperwork, etc. But I waited. Got my prescriptions. Went to get the right Goldfish. One item to check out. Person in front of me in the 15 items or less express lane had to have 30 items, but at least I went to the other express lane, where the cashier was much faster.

If the fridge quits running one more time today, I think I will lose it.

I am not looking forward to my daughter's thing tonight. It's outdoors, a bit rainy this afternoon, cool weather (at least for me, I like warmer temperatures), and the venue is crowded, so many people and vendors and such, I hate it.

I am not even sure what mood I'm in. Tired, frustrated, anxious, down, who knows?
