sarameg, I'm so sorry. Also, seconding that shutting off water after one missed bill is evil.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am really impatient with being ailing. Like completely unreasonable and irrational.
That sounds reasonable to me!
And I'd like to point out that in a lot of places they don't actually turn off your water when you don't pay your bill since people need water to live and all.
Yeah, you know, if our water has never been turned off here, it's because they give you many notifications. Because there were several years where bills were paid very erratically, between my father's dementia and my mother taking over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jesus, actual plumber's crack. Fight the cliche, dude.

Ha! The burst of energy before collapse. I wish I got one of those.
In water news apparently my city is doing their cleaning the pipes thing or whatever it is because the chemical smell is super strong. Do Not Like. Grateful for my water cooler.

It lasted for 45 minutes! I should put the fitbit on her.

Also, I should note, wrt water cutoff, you can totally physically turn it back on. Legally, well. But you can go out to the meter and turn the valve. I have a special tool for that, but a long reach and wrench will do it. You can always turn it back off...

Because books.
Any mathy people willing to help me?
I have to store 100 boxes (of buche de Noel) and need to know if our freezer is big enough. I am literally helpless with this -- I'm having anxiety just thinking about it.
The box dimensions, in inches, are: 5 1/8 x 7 7/8 x 4 1/4
The dimensions of the freezer, in inches, are: 20 x 61 1/2 x 25
Any help so very much appreciated.

First question I'd ask is which are the dimensions of the bottom of the boxes, because obviously a solution that stores them sideways won't work.

Sorry! The boxes are 5 1/8 tall, 7 7/8 long, and 4 1/4 wide.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Are the freezer dimension the inside of the freezer? If so, you have 30,750 cu in of freezer space. Each box is 171.53 cu in, so 100 of them would be 1715m cu in which is 55% of your freezer. So you ought to be fine. Want me to optimize your packing plan? That will take longer.
