So it was the dishwasher last monday. Oven last wednesday. And today something smelled fishy in the house.

I caught one of my dogs licking the bottom of my upright freezer in the basement. I opened the door... and OH MY GOD! a gallon of fetid blood and water gushed out. 100 lbs of spoiled food including 10 of the world's best meat loafs.

So, it is so long to our 25 yo upright freezer that I got for free at an estate sale five years ago.

But our new freezer (that was 10% off at Blowes for being Energy Star) does have both a temp and door alarm... so there.

DAMN. I wanted meatloaf for dinner tomorrow. The key is wrapping the loaf in bacon. MMMMM.

- I emptied the freezer into doubled construction grade trashbags. Thank goodness trash goes out tonight.
- Sprayed the freezer and surrounding area with bleach solution.
- Set up a fan to suck the smell out of the basement - it was right under my kitchen - super yuck.
- Moved the freezer up the six steps out of my walk out basement - it's now laying on it's back in my grass - VERY classy.
- Put down dryzorb, swept, and reapplied.
- New freezer will get delivered Monday. They will take old freezer away.

grrrr
