It's almost as bad as moving! You have to double bag any food in the home that hasn't been opened, even in the fridge and freezer! Plus all bedding and towels (?!?!) Then you have to go away for a few days.

We've been purging anything in the fridge/freezers/pantry!

We, fortunately planned it for the week we'll be away on a cruise, so the house has extra time to air out (I have asthma)

We're also going to use the time when we get back to defrost the freezer, then clear out things and prepare for a yard sale, opening up the "pantry" to hold some of my gadgets! My counters are too full!

Ahhh stress, followed by a week of relaxation, followed by stress!

It'll be great! ;)
