Poop Day
It’s garbage day tomorrow. That means diapers and cat litter need to be taken out of the house and put into the garbage bin. All that poop is my responsibility. I have almost no sense of smell which is a small blessing on poop day. It mostly stays pretty contained during the week which is…

The poop has left the building
It’s Wednesday and tomorrow they collect garbage from our bins. Once a week I remove the diaper garbage and clean the cats’ litter boxes. I throw away a lot of poop. Someone has to do it.

Bins and Boxes and a Cat
I’ve been cleaning up more than usual today. I picked up Alex’s floor which is a bigger task than it sounds. I cleaned all three litter boxes because they really needed it since I’ve been putting it off. I took the diaper garbage to the bins and the bins to the curb. I even took…

Spring Cleaning 25
I went through some boxes that were on my dresser. There was a lot of garbage in them. There were a few things that needed to be kept where I have access to them. And then there were a few things that needed to go into the basement. While I was putting them away down…

Haul It Away
About once every six month our neighborhood takes large items to the dump for free. I have never tried to do this before so I don’t really know if putting a futon and some old mattresses on our front lawn will have the desired effect of getting them off the property. That is the theory…

Another Day
Each day is a new opportunity to do better, but lets be honest, doing better is a case of three steps forward two steps back. And sometimes that third step takes more effort than the rest of the week. So I sit here and type on my phone about getting better without actually getting better.…

Fake Milk Dream
I had a dream that someone I didn’t know was cleaning our kitchen. I was being nitpicky about it. I noticed that there was a gallon of milk in our garbage can. I knew the milk in the house was fresh so I took it out. But it was clearly labeled “Fake Milk.” I poured…
