Well, I really didn't try to do much of anything but rest yesterday and it seems to have helped.  I feel a lot better but I am still going to take it easy again today.

6,198 steps yesterday.

A quick trip to grocery store yesterday for emergency cat food as call to Chewy and FedEx online not satisfying me food would arrive today. Well, this morning when I check tracking at 6:45AM all 3 boxes show delivery today! Like the weather, I'll believe it when I see it at this point. The original box shows Out for Delivery but the other 2 don't, but show today as delivery...Maybe I did rattle a cage or two yesterday?

Collect garbage on the agenda and maybe if Chewy comes early enough a trip up to town, I think my refrigerator is dying. Freezer still OK but fridge thermometer says danger zone, 50°. It has been a reliable old guy, replacing the brand new one I bought when I moved here (2004) that died at 2yrs2mos. This one was made in 1998, bought it off an ad, but I think is finally going.

One more really unexpected/unwanted expense! Sheesh, I must have really offended the Universe somehow!

I did kind of do a bit more yesterday but only about 2600 steps, still taking it easy.  I may try to pick it up but not really ready to get too aggressive.
Hope you get your deliveries Barbra, sheese, what a mess.  The fridge does sound like it is going.  A 50° temp is not good.  We had to get a new fridge about a year ago and it is nice but the price of appliances now is jaw dropping to me.

7,917 steps yesterday.

An exhausting day! All of Chewy order did arrive, phew! But that was a lot of lifting and moving heavy bags of kibble and cases of wet food. Refrigerator definitely going so drove up to town and walked all around Appliance store, settled on what I wanted, and new fridge will be here tomorrow!. Back home was more work taking all the photos off fridge and trying to plan what to do with the frozen food for the 8 hrs it takes fridge to cool down. Most of the fridge things will do fine in coolers in my car, it will be cold enough for them. I need to find someone that can hold onto the freezer items for a while. I hope they come earlier in the day rather than later!

Only 2752 steps yesterday.  The roofers started early tearing off the old shingles and the dog was terrified from the noise of it and I had to try and calm her down and she would not let me get away from her for the rest of the morning.  I finally got her settled down and she got used to it but I didn't try to get much if any steps in.  So far this morning I have done OK and the roofers are back but she seems to be better now.

Poor pup! All that noise is annoying for us, but poor pup probably thought the house was falling down around her! She was probably sticking close to you to protect you! Glad you were able to calm her and today she is better.

5,718 steps yesterday. Basically too sore all over to do much.

My friend came over in the afternoon and took my freezer items that absolutely needed to be kept frozen.I feel better about that food now, the rest of the freezer things can thaw slightly and refreeze fine they will go into a cooler just before scheduled arrival of new fridge. I froze a bunch of plastic water bottles starting last evening that should keep everything I need to hold until fridge hits safe temps cold enough. They say about 8 hours but I hope not that long!

4157 steps yesterday.  Back to something resembling normal.  I just tried to get my hourly steps in and did OK. 
No 8 hours is not realistic.  You are going to be putting cold food in and it will do a good job with that.

It sounded excessive to me, I don't remember having to ever wait that long before. Thanks for putting my mind at ease. I really did think the cold food I was going to put in it right away, would be be fine. By the time my friend gets back from her work at TNR, it should easily be ready for freezer foods.

6,781 steps yesterday.

Sweeping early morning snow off porches, emptying fridge, clearing area in garage for removal of 2 old fridges, and all the kitty feeding/shelter checking added to the normal step count.

Fridge guys came at exactly 1PM and had it installed before 2PM! They were great! Waited a bit and put some semi perishable things back in then waited until evening to put rest of shelf items back in.This morning it is humming away very quietly and perfect temps inside. My friend is bringing my frozen food this morning and then all will be normal once again.

I expect to see a big drop in my electric bill for this change, old fridge was built in 1998 so not so energy efficient...plus how hard it was working at the end. That will be a great offset for the stress involved in all this mess.

4287 steps yesterday.  Happy to be getting back to a more normal pace.
Glad the new fridge is in and working.  Yeah, the new electric appliances are designed to be more efficient so it should make a difference.

6,793 steps yesterday.

Two rounds of shoveling, about 4" of new snow total during the day. UGH! None in forecast thank goodness. Organizing fridge and adding freezer food friend brought over. Snowing again yesterday evening, don't know yet what is awaiting me outside this morning. Hope not much as I am so tired and achey can't do much more of anything!

6,155 steps yesterday.

I tried to take it as easy as possible, but still some snow clearing needed. When I got ready to go out, I couldn't find my heavy Winter gloves and spent a bunch of time searching all over the house. No luck. Best way I know to find them is buy a new pair! So will do a bit of Amazon shopping today!
