White Trash Wednesday

My condo is located about fifteen feet from a mountain, which I tend to think of as "my mountain." I like being this close to the mountain because it affords me a lot of privacy.  My patio faces the mountain, and therefore has somewhat of a remote, secluded feeling.  But it isn't completely private, and I need to keep that in mind.
In between my patio, and "my mountain," is a small, fenced in dog run where Olivia and Roscoe go to the bathroom.  On Mondays, "the poo man" comes to clean out the dog run, so that my neighbors don't hate me.
Today, I found a surprise when I went out out on the patio.  A dirty bra that smelled of dog urine.  I usually just open the door wide enough for the dogs to slip out.  The last time I went out on the patio was last Friday, when I was carrying a load of laundry on my lap.  The bra must have slipped off my lap without my noticing.
That means that the discarded bra lay on the patio for nearly a week, and probably accounts for the poo man's slightly odd behavior on Monday.  Thats okay, he's not the type to be easily shocked.  Like my friends who have been or are maids, I'm sure he just added it to his list of stories of learning a lot about those he cleans up after.  For me it was not the my first, and certainly not my last, white trash moment.

Helpful Hints

-When driving heavy machinery such as a wheelchair,or a riding lawnmower, or perhaps a vacuum cleaner around your home, be sure to immediately pick up the various objects that may fall to the ground, even though it is a nuisance, Doing so will prevent the screams of frustration, and inevitable re-taping, when you run over the remote-AGAIN.

-Be sure to take lots of new prescriptions before driving said heavy machinery if you are going to be a lazy butt and not pick up the remote. Being heavily medicated will be the only excuse that will make any sense to others, when they ask about the sad state of certain mangled objects around your home.

-When listening to loud music late at night be sure to use headphones so your roommate or family won't be disturbed by the music. This will ensure they only hear your beautiful out of tune voice as you sing along to a really good song.

-start preparing your lesson for Sunday at 11:15 Saturday night. When you realize that most of the things you need to do require daylight, be grateful that you are forced to get up at 6:30 on Sundays. Then stay up until much later doing stupid stuff like finding this lovely commercial that reminds you of road shows

-Be honest and don't procrastinate
