Empty

I'm feeling sort of empty today. That may be because it's after 9pm and all I've had to eat since lunch is a handful of Cheetos. So my belly is empty...but my energy reservoir is empty, too. Why? Let me show you...

This is my refrigerator. As you can see, the fridge and freezer are empty except for a lone bottle of water, my ice trays and a few ice packs. Why?

I got home from work today and there was an odd odor in the house. Okay, honestly, it smelled like a large, dirty animal died. I thought my husband forgot to take out the trash, but nope, that wasn't it.

It turns out that my darling daughter turned the temperature setting in the fridge to "off." And twelve hours later, the fridge was funk-tee-fied. It had completely warmed up, and even though the temperature controls for the freezer are separate and actually in the freezer, it just couldn't keep up. If it had been a cloudy day, my food may have had a chance. But it was a sunny day, so the sun was beating in through the window, thus beating onto the door of my stainless steel fridge.

Gag.

It was completely gross. I was more upset by the fact that I had done mega-grocery shopping last week and had to throw out every single food item that was upstairs in the fridge. Thankfully, the downstairs freezer has some backup food, so we should be okay. I did have to run out to the grocery store to get the basics. Except now, I've spent my whole grocery budget for the month. Eeeeek.

And on top of everything else, my sewing maching went kaput. It won't work. And I have a pair of pants that I needed to hem tomorrow. And I'm supposed to be making a dress for my sister. It's been a bad day. Humbug.
