"First-World" Problems


First I noticed that everything in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator was icy. The baby carrots stuck together in a clump. I ignored it. Later, I found that the potatoes and onions in the middle drawer were too solid. I let them be. In the weeks that followed, the freezing problem worked its way to the top of the fridge. When the milk froze into an arctic chunk I realized that there might be a problem. In the meantime I've been keeping most stuff in the garage refrigerator.
So when Tanner opens the fridge door he is very disappointed to find only condiments, eggs and a half empty jar of pickles. The other day he brought me an egg. It was frozen solid.
