#fridgegate update: Dad, sister, and niece coaxed mom into being ok with buying a large dorm fridge so we have something to use until the new fridge is installed. My dad went and got and my niece and I set up. Milk, juice, eggs are in there now. Mom still insists that we need to have some things in coolers on ice which, as long as I'm not the one getting food poisoning, I guess I'll let that battle go. Also, the we should make sure there aren't leftovers because we shouldn't use up space in the tiny temporary refrigerator directive has predictably been violated only by the issuer of said directive. On the upside, she has gradually accepted that many are the things which must be discarded, but they can be replaced so it's ok.

#fridgegate Day 2:

#fridgegate Day 2: We could have a new fridge tomorrow. If my mother could bring herself to tolerate a silver colored stainless steel fridge. But, no. We will have a new fridge in 2 weeks because it has to be a particular color. If we are lucky, it might be a week and a half. I don't have any other factual information because what she said when she walked in was, "I hope you like camping." In a truly classic mean girl tone. I am glad some of you like your mothers and they are not crazy.
