Lucas' Hospital Ordeal....and more....

Lucas had to be circumcised. He is thirteen. After my treatment Tuesday, I headed for Lisa's. Lucas had to be at the hospital at 12:15. I stayed with him and he was happy. He did really well, and is almost completely healed . I stayed all night Tuesday night and came back home Wednesday. I thought I smelled something bad when I opened the back door at my house, but couldn't figure out what it was. I knew I hadn't left any trash out, but there was something not right. When I started to cook, I went down stairs to my freezer to get corn. I opened it, and everything was thawed..... and it seemed to have been thawed for a long time. What a mess it was! It was about seven P.M. I knew I had to get it out so I filled seven big black trash bags. I put them outside in my drive way. Then I had to dip a foot of bad water out of the freezer. I poured bleach in and brought the water hose in and washed it down with water. I did that twice. Come to find out, the breaker was off in the main box. I knew my fish pond pump had stopped working, but I thought the pump had gone bad. NOT...It was on the same circuit. Now I had all of the food out in my driveway, and I knew the dogs would have a field day that night, so I waited until my son came home at 9:30 and he put a ladder up to the roof over my deck. He put the bags of food up on the roof until the next morning. I then called Waste Management and they told me where to take it to a land fill. When I got there...about twenty BIG trash trucks were in front of me. It took an hour to get in and an hour to get out. They weighed my car before and after. I had 180 lbs. of food. That was enought to last all winter. But now I have a clean freezer and it's time to fill it again. I just pray the breaker doesn't get throwed....I'm tired and I hate rotten food!
