or not…
Saturday was a good day… up at a reasonable time… made a lovely breakfast… I tend to have eggs on the weekend…
got some laundry done… even scrubbed down the top of the stove… sure do miss George for some jobs and scrubbing is one of them… my arms are wussy but he had strong hands and arms… when he scrubbed a pot it was completely shiny when he was done;-)…
had a break and sat outside and read for a bit… texted with my daughter to see if they were coming for dinner on Sunday and when she advised they were, I headed down to the freezer to pull something out to thaw…
that is when the day took a turn… everything was thawed… as in not frozen, not even cold… bad… it smelled bad and all of it was bad…
my daughter and grandson came over and he – who has a strong stomach and weak nose – unlike his mother and grandmother – took out five bags to the garbage…
then he hosed down and rinsed out the freezer a few times and moved the – now very heavy and completely full – garbage can to the back of the yard… of course Friday was garbage day, so the disgusting smell will be around all week… likely we will need to put some bleach in it for a few days after it gets dumped to get rid of the odour…
so, here’s my freezer today…
waiting to be picked up and taken to the scrap yard…
starting to research a replacement… should I get another chest freezer or go for an upright one…
decisions, decisions…
