Got the Trash Pile Sorted This Morning

August 11, 2025

For months I’ve been building a “family trash pile” next to the house, throwing items too large to fit into trash or recycle bins into it. Items included chicken wire, wooden boxes, cardboard boxes, pieces of chairs, old tarps, etc.

 

Well, this morning, I went out and sorted it all into manageable bins and boxes. As a happy result, it’s going to be a cinch to take it to the dump.

 

It’s a much smaller pile, now that it’s broken down, sorted and stacked.

 

I feel accomplished and I put in 3210 steps getting it done, too!  WOO HOO!

 

Update: Went for a walk and now have 8679 steps so far today — and it’s only 1:34 pm.

 

In Other News

 

I took a shower.  (Too much information,  I know, but I’m low on exciting news, so imagine me naked — EWWWW!!! — and you will have something exciting to try to remove from your mind’s eye! LOL!)

 

Carry on!
