When holidays fall on Monday, it just throws me off whack. During a normal week, yesterday would have been trash and recycling day. With the holiday, trash and recycling were pushed to Friday and I wasn’t prepared this morning.

I had a 9:30 appointment and was out and about until 11:00. As I drove back home, I saw the recycling truck turning into the neighborhood. I floored it and peeled into the driveway just as the truck came into view. I raced into the house and knocked over a variety of things on my way to the basement door. I grabbed the recycling bin and managed to knock over a few more things and stubbed my toe severely on the way back up the stairs. Didn’t even have time to stop and say OW!

The recycling is now gone. The trash is at the curb. I’ve managed to put everything back to rights that went flying in all directions as I careened around the house. And my big toe is swollen and turning purple.

Now I can say “OW”!!!
