Not everything was terrible about my day afterall..

How does one feel when somethings that you do not expect to happen, actually happen without you even noticing it? Well, I broke into tears and that too at the situation which is so ordinary.

Here is the story. From the day I arrived, I knew that my refrigerator was not working. I adjusted the thermostat and hoped that he would come alive but he did not. I noticed that the door doesn't close properly but the gap in the door was not sufficient enough to keep the inside of the refrigerator so warm. I knew that the fridge was old and not really functioning. I reported it to the housing authorities and they said they would look into the matter. Meanwhile people suggested me their own ideas, the best one was to store my food outside the window at nights as outside temperatures were much lower than the fridge. My fridge almost was like an incubator, no wonder the milk got spoiled, the yogurt grew mold, the bread, the vegetables grew fungus on it. I stopped buying food, I could not store much cooked food. I had to throw away so much food stuff that it really became a problem. Last night, I wrote another email to the housing authorities but really did not expect anything to happen. I was mentally preparing myself to live with a dead refrigerator till December and actually freeze my food under the snow outside.

I began to cook the dinner and realized that I cant open the fridge anymore. It took me a few seconds to realize it is not my old fridge. It doesn't have a broken door. I opened it and there it was my brand new fridge with a freezer compartment. Perfectly working.. i broke into tears.. i was so happy that I kissed the fridge.. the thoughts flashed in my mind of all the food that I can buy and store without worrying about it getting spoiled. All the food that I can cook and all the dinners I can host. I love that thought.. I went through a phase of Jubilation. So not everything today was terrible. My day ended with the happy news of new functional refrigerator. That is the lesson learned. Priya, things are not that bleak. Trust in yourself and things will turn out fine..
