August 2

So 4 days ago, our power went out. Since then, the outlets in our bathrooms haven't been working (which makes straightening my hair a lot harder, because, you know, the straightener doesn't work so well when it's cold). As it turns out, that's supposed to be an indication that the power outlet in the garage needs to be reset.

Unfortunately, the outlet that needed to be reset was supposed to be supplying power to the refrigerator that lives in our garage. And of course, the freezer in said refrigerator was full of the meat I had stocked up on during my many couponing ventures.

It took us a while to clean up the smelly, disgusting, bloody mess that was our freezer, but fortunately we had a LOT of ice in there with the meat, so we didn't lose much of it.

Food poisoning, here we come!
