Today was recycling day for us
The guy usually comes between 10:30 and 11.
Usually I take out the recycling when I pick up the empty trash can.
Usually I go back out about 11and bring back the. recycling cans.
Usually. I used that a lot.
It did not apply to today.
Because: Usually we don't sleep until 10:30!!!
I got Jackie into the bathroom, Beth out the door, and hauled the recline out to the street. By then it was 10:40 or so, but I had not seen nor heard the truck.
As soon as I turned my back, the wind blew over a can and debris spread out all over the driveway.
I picked it up and decided I will take it all back into the garage and watch for the truck.
So I did. Huge box of paper. 2 tubs of plastic and paper. All ready to recycle.
I sat at the kitchen table and worked a crossword puzzle and watched. And waited. And watched.
We had dentist appointments at 1:30 today and it was now almost 11:30.
I assumed I missed him and jumped in the shower.
When I got out of the shower, there he went. Nothing I could do about it at that point.
Honestly, I don't know any time Jackie has slept that late.
I also know the next time the recycles get picked up we will have a ton of stuff. We have been eating a lot of fruit and the raspberries, blue berries, and strawberries all come in plastic containers. There has to be a better packaging system.
Our church had a fellowship dinner in Rochelle tonight, and I went. Jackie did not because it was raining when it was time to go. I think she would have been fine, because it had slowed by the time I got to the restaurant.
It was a nice outing. I just wish we could get to a service someday.
Peace and Love
