Success Fixing Freezer, but can’t fix one’s disorganization

I’ve been working hard to re-organize some things, and it’s taking so much time, effort, and so much out of me, I can’t do as much as I want to … and of course LEGO Marvel Avengers released during that time. I played it on my PS4, my main PSN ID, Plat. but couldn’t stop myself from starting it up on my 1st Alternate PSN ID. This is what a good game does. 🙂

I’ve still been working at the IRL stuff, but it’s difficult to make something out of nothing, unless you are a deity, which I am definitively not!

I do rest on my laurels having fixed the Upright Freezer we keep in the garage. New control panel, new Defrost Temperature, new Thermistor. The Thermistor took cutting wires and putting the new one together with the stripped old wires into nuts with silicone to seal. It took a lot of effort trying to do that inside the freezer successfully. Lastly I put on a new gasket on the door. It wasn’t completely working out, but after a couple of days, it finally seemed to be suction shutting just fine. It was “dead” feeling at first, and I HAD to lock the door to keep it shut. There were a few squiggly areas I just couldn’t do anything with, so once it was installed I let it sit a day, then took the hairdryer on low heat to those areas and tried to ply them to lay correctly. Next day I turned the heat up and was careful, and it did a better job of things. Next two days, it seems to really straighten out and start sealing on it’s own. Hurray! Success!

We’d had iced up interiors and a control panel that told us the door was open, when it wasn’t, and couldn’t keep from malfunctioning in different alarming ways. So I finally put effort into it and got the parts that seemed to be needed, then also the thermistor at a later time. I had to defrost it, so much water came out of the unit. All the food had to go into the inside house fridge/freezer or into coolers. It was a messy watery time, but finally it was dry (off, of course) and repair got under way.

If success in other areas was so easy … I long have wished to make closets and drawers and containers out of thin air (how easily I can draw ideas on paper, do it exactly that on a computer (click new, folder) but in real life stuff just has no where to go, not enough built in storage, furniture, shelves, containers, for stuff.

It’s always been a fight. It’s part of life. For some of us paring down is equal to wishing one could but some things just aren’t worth getting rid of.  Sometimes someone else will do something with your stuff and wow does that make me angry. So because I have too much and not enough at the same time, no matter what I do, it’s a daily problem. But I’ve lived like that for all my life, so what? That’s right.
