Yikes, LOL.
So Monday is our garbage and recycle pickup at the curb. We use bins for recycles, and special color coded plastic bags from city for our garbage.
OK fine, I got it all gathered and just took it to the curb. Where I stopped in this frigid ugly weather and scratched my head.
All winter I HAD been digging out a spot beside the road to put the recycle bin and garbage. EXCEPT now that it has all drifted into 5,6, 10 ft tall drifts, and now frozen rock solid........
I do not know where to put my bin and garbage! I dare not wait till morning becuz sometimes one or the other comes as early as 5 am....sometimes one or the other does not come until as late as 6 pm. (we are a "leftover" garbage AND mail route, and whoever finishes their regular route then gets sent to do us)
The wind will for sure blow the recycle bin (and illegally scatter our cans, bottles etc all over the block) if I am not careful where I put it.....the garbage bags will definetly slide off the mountains down into the street- which is NOT allowed, of course. and I HAVE to have it out cuz I need the bin for refilling, LOL, if it is full to begin the week, I will have nowhere to put the upcoming weeks recycles.
I looked up and down my block to see what my neighbors did....but, they have not yet done theirs.
Well, the only idea I came up with was to put it in my driveway.....hope they see it and stop, hope they get it EARLY before we have to head out. Hope no more snow falls, and for a change, if snow DOES fall tonite, I am hoping for a change that the snowplow does not come thru before garbage people and bury my bin and garbage so they do not take it.
(I doubt that will be a problem, they did not come at all since the last big snow the other day becuz they are out of salt, so decided not to plow, either?)
Yeesh, this weather is just creating ALL kinds of strange dilemmas. LOL
and- easy child is STILL sick, now going on 2 weeks, and finally relented to going to dr. YAY! (Only the snow days prevented her from haveing no choice but to go sooner, becuz the snow days fell just right that while she has missed 2 weeks of school, she was buffered to have the snow days fall such that school did not have any 3 consecutive days in a row, to require a dr note) I think it is just a cold that is hanging on tight, not sure what the doctor can do about it.but school will require it, now.
And now that we have had such lovely confint all of us packed into our small house with so little school etc...we are FINALLY at each others throats. <sigh> I guess thats to be expected when you smush 5 people, one PTSD/schizo/etc with a bipolar/panic attack/etc etc etc 2 teen girls one pre teen boy, one teen boy (PCs boyfriend) all in 900 sq foot for so long.
I AM READY FOR SPRING!!!! (I will settle for slightly warmer weather and slightly better road conditions)
