THE GARBAGE BATTLE CONTINUES

I have a much greater understanding now, now that I am responsible for the garbage in the house, of Bill and our fear of garbage day.  It was always an angsty time the night before garbage day.  He took on garbage day as a personal competitive 'beat you' battle with the garbage laws.  And now I am getting that way.

There are certain households, you know who you are, that announce in that smuggish tone that they just have one teeny tiny container per month of garbage.  Seriously.  They just don't have normal busy peopley lives I say!   When I pick up something that has to leave the house....I have to decide, compost? recycle? or garbage.  Well if its a take out container with sandwich remnants it clearly is garbage.  It's styrophomy stuff and greasy. It has to go into the garbage.  Even crunched it half fills the under the sink garbage container.  And all the envelopes from Amazon have bubble wrap on the inside....garbage.  Soft plastic of all sorts....garbage.  Old shirts and pants and clothes....garbage.  Old pill blister packs, a mix of plastic and cardboard...garbage. 

 Well you get the point.  I guess if your old clothes are good enough and you aren't a perpetual slob, they can go to Sallyann.  If you are in perfect health and don't need pills you won't have that garbage.  If you are paranoid and won't use a credit card on the internet...you won't have unrecycalable plastic packaging.  And if you never order food in or bring home leftovers from a meal out, well that's where the no life part comes in.  I do know that when it is just Monte and me we occasionally didn't have to put the garbage bin out.  But that didn't happen often.   One thing you can do...a bit of advice, get real familiar where the public garbage cans are and USE THEM!!!!  No offence to anybody!!  LOL!!

I went with Ange yesterday to the funeral home. It was interesting.  The director was so sympathetic and understanding, just shy of being unctuous. There will be no service or memorial (I offered to make egg sammiches).  Ange just wants it over with.  And I must say when it was all done with the director she was much different.  It was like a huge weight had been lifted from her.  I was happy to see some of the old positive Ange return.

Well it's pizza night tonight.  Friday night is pizza night.  I shall collect money from the boys, they each order what THEY CAN EAT!!!  No over ordering!  They can feel free to share, but they have to eat what they buy.  I will be getting a personal pan pizza.  Thank goodness Pizza Hut makes a personal pan pizza of each of their pizzas.  And you can't beat their crust.  Mmmmmmm....

Well that's it for today peeps.  Stay safe.  TTYL

ps:  This is what Monte and I do once in a while.  We drive out to Cameron, a long long stretch of road between two large fields (where I  always get the pics of yellow broom).  There is zero light out there. And we look up at the sky.  And just know that life is amazing.  Except for garbage day.
