Abducted by Aliens

So last night after dinner was finished, I emptied and refilled the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen, took out the trash and then moved the second container out to the street so they both get emptied today, set up the coffee for this morning and finally, refilled the water stations for the cats, scooped the litter boxes and asked Miss Scarlett to take the cover off the last litter box in advance me me cleaning it out. Then upon finishing that, took the bag of waste out to the trash and viola'! I'm all done.

I did impress upon Scarlett's brother, "Lurch" that I needed him to fix one of the hall closet doors most ricki-tick as this closet door being operational was central to my plans for the coming weeks.

Miss Scarlett looked at me like I was from another planet. She said, "Who are you and what have you done with my husband?" I looked at her and said, "I'm doing what you ASKED me to do, what's the problem?"

She just looked at me and said, "Nothin', nothin' at all." Well, actually it came out, "Nuuthin', nuuthin' at awwwl" (Remember, she's from JAAW-ja). I looked at her, rolled my eyes, shook my head and went back upstairs to attend to my computers backup.

I'm getting to the "Spring Cleaning" a little early is all-and since the City of Virginia Beach has started a new, $10.00 per month trash fee I'm going to start discarding more and saving less. I've got TWO trash containers and I am going to do my dead-level best to fill them each and every week just to get my monies worth.

Of course, I'm still the designated "Pack Mule" in that EVERYTHING that comes up the steps in this household is hauled up by ME or it simply stays downstairs.

That's GOT to change.
