back surgery and a new refrigerator
Well since Monday, DH is officially off of work until Feb 9 and his surgery is a week from today. From my understanding we won't even be losing any income since Worker's Comp money is not taxed and he talked to his worker and she said as soon as his current job faxes over to her all of his wage information, they will pay him 2/3 of his current income where they *were* going to only give him 2/3 income from the job where he got hurt at (3 jobs ago). Besides that, everything is in place. DH has been real busy on the phone the last few days.
After discussing our options we went and bought a new low-end fridge today. The old one is dying, its not keeping cold at all now. We rent a house and we are responsible for our appliances, not the LL. We figured a new one will definitely be more energy efficient, and we will have a warranty, which we will not have with buying used. We live in a rural area and there really isn't much out there in the used appliance market. Believe me I've looked. Plus we bought our new one from Sears and the delivery and installation is free after rebate, and they will take away the old one for ten bucks. It costs more than that here at the dump, plus you have to haul it over there yourself. That's important since DH cannot do any lifting right now, let alone move refrigerators around. Delivery is next Tuesday!
We DID buy a new expensive coffee maker today too LOL. The new fridge was on sale on top of everything else so we spent less than planned and decided on a new fancy red coffee maker since the old one was leaking bad and needed replacing too. It made DH happy which makes me happy.
“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Also wishing your DH a speedy recovery. Sounds like you got a good deal on your new appliances and the delivery, installation and haul-away services will be great.
