Is it Monday?

Has to be.. Trash pickup is Monday. Which was today. Or something like that.

However since the normal pattern of things was disrupted, trash didn’t get put out Sunday night (because Monday was not a real Monday but a Holiday instead) it should have been put out last night (because today is Monday by Waste Management’s calendar since yesterday was not Monday) but since last night was not Sunday night but Holiday night instead, the Normal Order Of Things had no reminder function that covered the ‘take the trash out’ factor. In its place was a nagging feeling that something had been left undone when I went to bed...

The resolution of that nagging feeling occurred at approximately 11:22 today when I heard the truck drive past after stopping at the neighbors...

On top of all that Frontier is messing with the interwebs and our connection keeps resetting. The last time it reset was 3 minutes and 42 seconds ago...

So it’s acting like a Monday in this corner of the world.

Sorry about the trash day snafu. I made Bill and Tom get up to take ours out this morning, but it looks like they’re not going to pick up today. Oh, well. They should get up anyway!

I have a library book due today, and I can’t renew it because it’s wait-listed, so I guess I’m headed for the library followed by the Walmart.

Our trash gets picked up on Tuesdays and Saturdays, holidays or not. That’s the union in Las Vegas for ya!
