Cleaning the Fridge is Fun to Do

Occasionally, we find items on the top shelf of the fridge have frozen, regardless of the temperature control setting.  This morning pretty much everything on the top shelf was frozen.  Egg-sicles...YUM. 

So I decided to deep clean all of the coils.  I have a long brush for this type of situation.  I laid on the floor and scrubbed the coils and then vacuumed them.  I really went all out this morning and I also pulled the fridge away from the wall, removed a cover on the back and vacuumed everything there.

WHY DO YOU CARE?

Because as I was vacuuming HUGE clumps of lint balls I discovered a petrified mouse.  I got a paper towel and tried to pick it up.  The tail broke off, exposing little mouse tail bones.  I grabbed closer to the body, more tail came off.  So I just had to grab the darn mouse.  It was stuck.  It had fused to the bottom of the fridge.  I pried it off, but there are still a few little mouse hairs stuck in the fridge.

How many times have I opened the fridge and said, "It smells like something died in here"?  Turns out something actually did.

Kathy you are the most awesome and real person I've ever met. I love you! I love that you shared this story. I love that it made me cringe and smile at the same time....Poor little mouse.
