Day 62- Garbage Day

Yesterday I had made the decision to open up the blinds and let the heat of the sun warm my house instead of cranking up the furnace. I had mentioned in my post yesterday that anybody who knows me would probably be quite surprised to see my blinds open because they're always closed. So, I couldn't help but snicker when my husband got home from work, took off his shoes and came into the living room and before even saying "hello", he says, "You have the blinds open?? How come?".

Here in Langham, each house gets a portable garbage bin that you wheel to the front of the drive way on Wednesday mornings and a big garbage truck comes to collect all the garbage. I can't help but gasp when I see some people's bins overflowing on a weekly basis! Sometimes I'm not sure I should be allowed outside on Wednesdays when everyone's trash is out for the town to see. Anyways, I've decided on a goal- to only take my garbage out to the curb once each month. Obviously I will aim to have so little garbage that it needs to be taken to the curb less than that, but I will allow myself to bring it out once.
