Tuesday, July 6, 2021, 5:40 p.m., mostly sunny, no breeze, and 91 degrees. It is nice in the house at 75 degrees.
A quiet day. I had PT this morning and haven’t done much else the rest of the day. A good day to answer letters. My calendar is good today so will quote Barbara Johnson’s message for today.:
“If we can keep our minds open to the blessings, humor, and education in whatever happens to us-if we can set that little invisible radar dish on top of our heads to constantly search for blessings instead of disasters-our lives will be enriched by the experiences we endure and we can grow from the calamities that fertilize our lives.”
Yesterday we had the first trash pick-up by the new trash company. We now have to roll our new bright blue garbage cans up to the street. They have to have the arrows that are on the side of the containers pointing to the street, and they have to be so far apart from anything else. So all the blue cans are on the street, in order, just as instructed. The garbage man (1) comes with the shiny new truck with the long, large yellow claw arm and attempts to use it to pick up each garbage can and dump the contents into the truck. some he managed to do just perfect. Some not so perfect. One up the street from us got mangled, one of the wheels flew off and it is pretty well crushed. Several others were damaged including outs. There is a dent, the lid no longer fits on correctly and there is a big dent by the wheel, causing it to not roll properly. Tomorrow those in charge of the garbage department well get a call from us. Their lines were a bit busy today.
Have a wonderful, productive, creative, safe, healthy, cool and blessed day.
