We feng shui'd my fridge. The door has forever opened with a right-hand hinge, swinging open into the left-hand wall of the kitchen. Causing me to stand against the wall, open the door, catch the door which falls open towards the center of the (sloped floor, listing) house, and juggle the ingredients, blah blah blah. Now anybody in their right mind would have fixed that (my landlord? when he put in the fridge?) because ideally the door would open into the kitchen and close itself. So the other day I mentioned it casually, that it'd be great to switch the door hinges, et voila, yesterday morning we flipped the door hinge so it's on the left now instead of the right. According to the man of the hour, this was an easy fix. I still can't believe how many problems it solved. It's like Christmas and birthday wrapped into one. Oh wait, my birthday is pretty much already wrapped into Christmas. Okay, it's not. It's better. Since the door opens against the wall now, and there's actually room to put my kitchen shelves against that same wall. Meaning there is now at least two point five more feet of space against the wall the window is on. Which means the table is no longer jacked into the opposite corner by the cabinet on that same wall. Which means I could actually even put a chair on that wall and still have room to pull the table further down, centered in front of the window. Which means my children can actually grow now and we can all sit around the table instead of them sitting squashed around two edges of the table and me sitting on the stepstool over by the dishwasher to eat!!! It is like a weight has been lifted from my mind.
Oh but it gets better. He also cleaned out the fridge, all the pickles are lined up in a row. How did I get that many pickles anyway? Do pickles last forever? The thing looks brand new.
And better still. We showered changed, ran to the post office and the bank, ran out to the cemetery and changed the flag, went out into the country and found a business he was looking for, then drove around and looked at some nature. We saw geese with little goslings. The rain was falling a little bit and it was so pretty on the lake(pond). And then we passed some little farms and I spotted a newborn calf. I don't know how I even saw it. It was laying on the ground in some tall grass all wet still being licked clean by the mama cow. So I said, there's a fresh new baby cow down over there, so we backed up the truck and sat there watching her clean up the baby, which tried and tried to stand up but I got bored after like the tenth try to stand up and getting knocked down by the licking cow. Finally she stopped licking long enough to do something else, and he got his hindquarters up but then he fell over againg. This is my second newborn baby animal. When I was little I was the first one to see a newborn baby foal out in a field across from my school bus stop. I think I was in first grade. I think I ran all the way back down the street to tell my mom.
And THEN, we decided to try the new sushi place and it was so frickin good. OMG. They did such a good job.
