Hot Yoga, Hot Refrigerator

I was originally going to do a nice knitting post last night but it was not possible because my whole free time last night was wasted with issues with my refrigerator.

This weekend I did some grocery shopping, bought things like milk and juice and yogurt and some bacon and eggs. Last night, I came home from work and took out the bacon (we were going to have a quick dinner because we had to go somewhere). The bacon was warm. Then I looked into the freezer and EVERYTHING was melted... anything like sauces or broth was liquid. Hmm. This fridge is like 6 years old. It may be something as simple as a "defrost timer" which takes a few minutes to replace and is a $20 or so part. So we will try that first. If not, we will need a new fridge. I. Am. Never. Buying. Another. American. Appliance.

Over the weekend I tried Bikram yoga, or "hot yoga". They keep the room really warm, not quite like a sauna but almost that warm. The heat is supposed to help you cleanse your body and stretch your muscles more. It sounded kind of intense and interesting. I'm still not sure what I thought about it. The heat was a little overwhelming, it made me kind of nauseous and dizzy a few times. The instructor says this is normal at first, and to make sure to have enough water. Then I managed to work out enough that all my muscles were sore. So. She said you really want to try a few times to decide what you think. I got a 10 day trial, so I will try to go back once or twice more and decide on this thing. Not sure it is for me though.

(Brief update, I realised I have a tiny "dorm" refrigerator in my basement, so we can have a few things kept cold besides just in the cooler. Yay!!)
