Bad News Good News

 Bad News... opened Cabinet to put coffee filters away, knocked the Vanilla flavor bottle off, hit the counter, down the crevice between Fridge and Counter, disappeared under the back of the fridge. 

Good news... when Bob pulled the fridge out of its home space, we found the bottle.

Bad news... it was filthy under there requiring a broom, a mop and small hand vaccumn and both fan filters were clogged .

Good news ... we found the two fans and filters were completely clogged which was bad, but we had a hand vac that sucked it all out and it could have harmed the fridge if we had not found it.

Bad news.... after we put the fridge back in place, the kitchen floor was covered in debris

The Good News is I had this wonderful Bissel in the closet.


I love this thing and use it a lot, almost every day, see Fourpaws ETC for the reason.
But Wait! there is More!
More Good News! Because I opened the cabinet where our trash can lives, to empty the Bissel, I saw the overflowing recycle can and remembered it was Recyle Pickup day and took all three out and did it just in time for the pickup.
The Vanilla Flavor Bottle Falling Saved the Day

Yes, an accident saved your fridge from breaking down, and having to pay big money! Fridges are the most expensive thing in the kitchen, I think. You did GOOD to knock over the vanilla!

Bad news...caused a lot of unexpected work.

Alls well that ends well but that whole process sounds rather exhausting.

Hello,

your good and bad news did require work to be done, but saving your fridge is a good thing.
Sorry about the vanilla! Take care, enjoy your day!

Ella said...

You had a lot of work to do and that's ... bad news!
Hugs!

No! It is only good news! Having something to do and finding a purpose from that initial accident turns this whole thing into a good news story!!! (And gave me a good giggle cuz that's the kinda thing that happens to me all the time!) YAM xx

That sure turned out well! *Whew*

Well, this sure underscores my old boss' favorite-ism: "Everything happens for a reason." I enjoyed your verbal volley!

Now I'm wondering what lurks behind my own refrigerator.

I had several Bissels during our 30+ years of being owned by kitties.
They were the best for picking up litter that is always on the floor after a visit to the Kitty Loo

When you drop something by accident especially in the kitchen you suddenly find more work as you clear up. You have some handy equipment to help you.

No doubt about it, the Vanilla bottle falling was a blessing in disguise.

Sandra...your Life is one adventure after another!!!
It's the Domino Factor!!
Just got back from the post office. 15 people ahead of me. I guess it's because there was no mail service yesterday.
Had a really nice clerk and she saved us 2.00. She said if I put this small package in this priority flat rate envelope it will be less than just mailing it Priority Mail..Way to go USPS. I was happy for that and my package is insured for $50.00 too. Win...Win...

I know what you are talking about Sandra because every so often I start a small cleaning project or none at all and then find that there is more cleaning to be done. Glad all worked out Ok and the fridge is dust-free (for now).

And thankfully the vanilla bottle didn't break because then it would have been double bad news - cleaning up that sticky mess AND replacing the bottle with a new one that Mom says is now ridiculously expensive:)

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE . . .

I am surprised we didn't get to see a Red Caped Vanilla Bottle riding upon a Bissel to save the day. Or is that visual being saved for another day? lol

Another thing that came to my mind as I read.... "For want of a horseshoe nail the kingdom was lost" and "A stitch, in time, saves nine" and "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

I am glad all things turned out for the best in the end.

Hello Sandra, You seem to have already got you're mojo back, and I'm glad you saved you're fridge from being damaged. I think your positive attitude, also saved the day!:=)

I like when things turn out that way.
