Anyone else having an odd-feeling week?

GingerPeach — Thu, 30 Dec 2021 19:07:44 GMT

All this week it's felt like every day is Sunday.

Not sure why.

Then this morning I was woken up to workers walking on the roof doing roof inspections for the neighborhood. They had been scheduled to come weeks ago so were unexpected today. Our management company is horrible with providing notice.

The noise reminded me of the noise garbage trucks make.

So still without any caffeine to help me out, I rushed out to put my garbage cans at the curb.

The joke's on me. Garbage day is tomorrow, Friday morning, not Thursday morning. (ETA: Forgot to mention, I must not be the only one since I saw other neighbors had their cans out, too. Not all, just some.)

Not that this is any kind of earth-shaking story, but if you have a mixed-up day story, it would be fun to read.

Not my street or even my state, but most garbage can pictures are not this tidy.

It's business as usual around my neck of the woods. Doesn't feel any different than any other day or week.

We had a wall come down last week. Needless to say more than my roomba could handle. Luckily we had a wonderful prime rib and plans with family so it was truly the Christmas prayed for. Feeling grateful

I guess a little odd in that I'm in the throes of a winter session course as the Instructor. I never did a winter session before. Strange to see assignments at all hours of the day & night! There's still a week to go. I still have a student who is stuck in Chicago!

Also, the dog is here, and that means grooming & extra walking, which I don't mind in the least. But that means my daughter & her family are away, and DH, dog & I will have a quieter than usual New Year. Not that any one of us are ruckuses (except for the grandchildren!)

It's just different. I'm off for walk #1!

Our garbage cans look just like that, except that they are green. But we only get one per house.

I have no idea why but I keep thinking today is Friday.

I don't get it. I know Friday is New Year's Eve and today is not New Year's Eve. Wonder what day I will think Saturday will be.

PS - Just got back from vacation. It always takes awhile for me to "adjust" to being home.

I'm sure those are for multiple houses, @shoesnbags

We get black (landfill) and blue (recycling) with green for organic waste.

I found in looking for trash/garbage can pictures on the internet, cans everywhere are starting to look alike.

@GingerPeach This has been a strange week for sure. The temp here is currently 72 degrees, Sunday it will be 26 and a high of 30. Yesterday there were tornadoes and flooding in the area here in Mississippi and Alabama. Also, I have lost 3 friends this week so yes, odd feelings for sure.

@GingerPeach Yes. It has been an "OFF" week for me too.... with the holidays... the no mail days.... and then all the very cold weather and on top of that over 7 inches of snow... and no newspaper delivery for the past week because of the snow... it has just seemed rather like a blur of too much going on. Everyday has seemed like Sunday....

@GingerPeach You are not alone. LOL

For some reason DH and I keep thinking a day ahead. It just seemed odd for Christmas to be on a Saturday. I don't know why it just did.

So Saturday felt like a Sunday, and since Sunday felt like a Monday, we were ready to put out our recycle bin on Sunday night for Tuesday pickup. LOL

I opened our refrigerator the other day looking for a box of humidifier filters. I knew I had purchased them and when I asked DH if he had seen them he said "No" and said "Do they work better when cold?"

Ha!!! Of course they were in the household items closet. LOL

That is a lot to have in your life all at once, @Boomernichols

I wish you strength.

I haven't been sure what day it is for two years. Today the mayor of my town really messed me up. He calls every week with the dreaded covid update and others news. Today the call started with, Today is Friday, December 30. I spent the next hour thinking today was new year's eve and how did I lose a day.

@GingerPeach Our garbage cans are green, but they're for landfill type garbage. The recycling bins are small, open retangular things. If it rains on pick-up day, all of the paper inside gets soaked. Don't know whose idea it was to use open bins, except that maybe they're cheaper.

Boomernichols, I am so sorry for your losses. My bf's dh passed away in May. It's been a sad time for her, myself and my dh. We have celebrated NYE together for so many years as her & I met in HS. Can't wait for 2022 to get here as the last four years have been rough. I never seem to know what day of the week it is.

I think the week in between xmas and NYE is always odd-----not a fan of either holiday and always very anxious for it to be done.
