Unintentional but necessary
You know how when you get back from a vacation you feel like you need another vacation? Well, my dirty little secret is I sometimes slack off for a few days after getting home. Then something reminds me I am no longer on vacation and I start cleaning the house, unpacking our suitcases, and getting laundry done.
I totally thought I would do the same thing this time. Except on Tuesday afternoon I discovered one of the grossest things in my house- my freezer was unintentionally defrosted while we were gone. And the food inside the freezer had spoiled sending mold around the interior and flooding the floor beneath the freezer where mounds of dust and lint met a watery demise.
There was no lazing about to be had, I had to clean up the mess. And it included moving shelving, moving the freezer, and properly ventilating the house so I could use a bleach solution to kill the mold.
I know our freezer needed to be defrosted, I just didn’t think my husband planned on it happening this way. Our kitchen is finally back to a normal state, and maybe this week I can actually cook a meal in it.
Now our dining room… that needs to be addressed.
