As expected.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The only good thing about the snow day making us miss our garbage pick-up last week was that it has been so, so, sub-arctic here that everything inside the freezer (which was outside, on the patio) froze again. So although it was rotting and smelled like a dead body, at least it hadn&#8217;t gotten any <i>worse<\/i> in the past eight days.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; So tonight (well, by the time you read this, it&#8217;ll be last night, I guess), I donned protective gloves, my thickest jacket (because really, it is about 8 degrees &#8211; which is -10 with the wind chill), and headed out with two bags to do the deed.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It was awful. Squishy and stinky and just horrible. The dog kept barking at people passing by and was scared to get close to me because I had used a headband to strap some papertowels (which were scented with some limited edition vanilla Glade spritz) to my face. I&#8217;m sure I looked both stupid, in general, and terrifying, to her.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; We lost so much of our stored-up meat. All those beautiful steaks! The few remaining pieces of Orgasmic Chocolate Cake! Two roasting chickens and like fifteen pounds of the good ground beef (not the grass-fed stuff, but the <i>pretty decent<\/i> lean stuff we got on sale awhile back).<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I wept.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I dry heaved.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I did not vomit.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; And then we dumped a bunch of remaining bleach into the freezer, dragged the stinky bags out to the curb (sorry, trash guys &#8211; really, so sorry), and for now &#8211; the deed is done. Its too cold and we&#8217;re out of bleach, so cleaning it out will have to wait for a warmer (ugh) day.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Still, at least the worst part is done.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Note to Self (again): The RED LIGHT is a BAD THING, Nubby!<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; *sigh*<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/signature.jpg\" alt=\"Signed, Josie\" width=\"92\" height=\"139\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13\" \/><br \/>\n<i>Note: Image is &#8220;Chest Freezer-Out of Stock&#8221; by (Walmart.com)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; For those of you who follow this blog (and, bless your little heart for that!), you may remember the horrible thing that happened to Mark &#038; I a few weeks ago.
