I got overwhelmed by all the things you are supposed to recycle. I made a decision and I can live with it. I recycle in 4 big stacking tubs I got at Lowes. I do tin cans, paper, cardboard and plastic. I crush the plastic so I can fit more in the tub. I have a HUGE trash can for soda cans. In Iowa we get charged a nickle on top of the price of every can or bottle...but I can;t do everything and I accepted that and am doing something.<br /><br />Isn't Lenny the BEST!

But, anyone that knows me IRL knows I'm not the best housekeeper. I am just not good at organizing. I have piles everywhere. But when I do buckle down and do it, I have to admit I do feel accomplished.<br />As for my life, I'm not sure as it is messy as it is uncertain right now.

Guess it was a hard week all around but in my case it was a really rapid visit with my parents that was physically exhausting and in the end, I felt like I barely saw them at all or really got to 'connect' with them, which made me sad. And I was sad when they left because I dunno how much time is going to go by before I can see them again. The day after they left my dad called me in tears because my grandmother had passed and I don't think I've come to terms with it yet. Her funeral is Saterday and I never thought I would miss it. But there's no way I can fly over. So, yeah, hard week physically and emotionally. Still shell shocked.Creepy Query Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115161057496086972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880052565931746299.post-40443694159031161382010-07-27T07:16:54.126-07:002010-07-27T07:16:54.126-07:00ugh--since I dove into this writing biz *seriously...ugh--since I dove into this writing biz *seriously* last year, my life has turned into the messy laundry room... but it's a good messy.

How about, when you *have* to do laundry, at least it will be a bright and cheery place?<br /><br />Earlier this summer I posted pictures of my beautiful gold fish pond, surrounded by pretty flowers. I considered balancing that by sharing pictures of *other* parts of the property -- such as the jungle of waist high weeds we call a vegetable garden, but I think my husband might divorce me if I did. There are some things not fit for viewing by the public.<br /><br />Lets just say that if you see something red that might be a tomato, you stick your hand in quickly, hoping it's really a tomato, and pray that nothing bites you.Dianne K.

Helps you appreciate the areas of your life where it is not. A good dusting always gets rid of the cobwebs.

Our whole basement could use the same sort of attention, but I'm afraid if I start I wouldn't crawl back up for air until mid-February. <br /><br />So I think I'll do what I do best, and procrastinate on the housework. Hard physical labor may pay off in the long run, but being lazy about it pays off right now. ;)Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880052565931746299.post-77563807260224056962010-07-27T05:53:31.852-07:002010-07-27T05:53:31.852-07:00Good job!
