Every Wednesday is trash day and every other Wednesday is recycle day. We have missed recycle day for the past month (or more), but today Joey was determined NOT to miss the truck. Recycle guy comes at exactly 7:00am (Garbage guy is a more lazy 11:00am – 3:00pm kinda guy) which wouldn’t usually be a problem, but we didn’t get to bed until late last night and not even Shep was stirring by then. Alas, crisis averted. Joey jumped out of bed, ran downstairs and set the bins out just in time. If we had missed recycle guy again, it was mutually understood between us that garbage guy was getting waaay more than his usual share of refuse this week and we’d try saving the planet again in two weeks.
Headed to the dog park with Shep this afternoon only to be surprised by sudden snow and freezing wind! So rarely is the weatherman correct here, I completely ignored the forecast. Today, apparently, he got it right. Good for him. In light of the weather, I will be catching up on reading for book club. We are currently reading Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith by Jon Krakauer. It is not a book I would choose to read voluntarily, but that is the point of a book club, no? Joey is currently reading a mystery novel, The Cat Who Went Up the Creek by Lilian Jackson Braun. So far he seems to be enjoying it when he has time to read. I have yet to ask him if the cat went up the creek with or without a paddle. Maybe that’s the mystery…
What’s for dinner? Petite sirloin steaks, mashed sweet potatoes and sautéed yellow squash
