It's laundry day.. so many socks!!

 

The next time I move there will be a washer and drier accessible in the complex or I'll have a washer at least. I don't mind hanging my clothes up to dry on a drying rack in front of an open window.

At the moment I'm handwashing clothes and hanging them on a drying rack and on hooks around my room to dry. Valley Brook Townhomes has a few townhomes that have washer and dryer hook ups, but not all of them do. The one I live in has no hook ups. 

So I tend to hand wash my clothes in the bathroom sink every week so I have my work clothes ready for me to use during the week. I have neglected a lot of other clothes so my goal for this 2 day weekend is to get all of my clothes washed, or most of them. 

I have sooo much socks that I really don't need to buy any more. I have at last 50 pairs that need to be washed. I always bought socks when there were 10 pairs for $1.99 after being marked down. Great deal ya know and you can't have too many socks... or so I thought because I have far too many pairs of socks! 

Tonight's Dumpster Adventures!

Just got back from the dumpster and there's something weird goin on there! As I got closer I noticed a car parked across from said dumpster with the head lights on.

Then once I was like 15 steps from the dumpster the car literally turned around so that the occupants couldn't be seen and the head and tail lights went out.

With my trusty 20+ year old pepper spray in my hand I went to the dumpster and tossed out the garbage and headed back.

This woman was heading there with some garbage {nice to know I'm not the only one who does it at night LOL} and I told her about what I saw.

She yelled "Honey let's go for a walk!" and next thing I know her honey in a police uniform came over and they walked together toward the dumpster.

I have two thought's about what could be going on, but in all actuality I think I'd rather not deal with any mental images this close to bedtime.

Tree's everywhere!

I took some garbage to the dumpster a few minutes ago. Someone in the houses around the complex is shooting off fireworks and there is a slight smell of rain in the air.

Kids were out playing on their bikes and laughing and one little girl stopped to see if I needed help. I told her no thank you and to keep playing because you can smell the rain in the air.

As I head down to the dumpster I was looking around at the trees that surround this complex. The complex is literally surrounded by trees and what is deemed as valleys with houses at the top. There are brooks on 3 sides of the complex.

There's 1 way in and 1 way out and that's at the front of the complex around the corner from the office. The trash dumpsters are on either end of the complex, I wish they'd put a dumpster in the center where I am. There are a few elderly folks who can't make the walk to the end of the complex to the dumpsters.

As I was walking back to the house I walked past the group of kids and the little girl who offered to help me was telling the other's in the group to smell the air for the rain. lol One little guy said he smells hot dogs... I'm not sure where he came up with hot dogs, lol he has a good nose if he smelled them.

Valley Brook Musings

This complex I live in is amusing at the moment. People are starting venture out after a long winter's hibernation and tend to their flower beds under their main windows and they're going out and just chilling on the front porches and yelling.. yes yelling at each other.

Right now someone is sitting on their porch behind me and is singing an extremely horrible version of Celine Dion's Titanic. People should be banned from singing that song when they're drunk... I mean really how dare they!

The guy in the house on the hill is back out in his back yard. At first he was cleaning it, but what he's actually doing is tossing his junk over the fence onto the complex's property... so I guess yeah, technically he's actually cleaning his yard.

Every so often he starts swearing like a bloody sailor the last thing he said was "G0d damnit, the fvcking dog bit me!" This is the very same man who had a most unusual conversation with God last year during lock down. I'm curious as to whether they'll have another conversation this year. 

Oh boy

 

In the complex that I live in the trash dumpsters are at either end of the complex and 

I live right in the MIDDLE of said complex. 

I walked some trash to the dumpster on Tuesday night and now I have a cough.

Nothing a few honey lemon cough drops and honey lemon tea won't help.

Ever since I started using the drops the coughing isn't as bad as it was.

I had called out that day because I wasn't feeling good, but the trash had to go out.

I go back on Sunday at 5pm.. have you ever had something coming up that makes you

dread going to work?

We have inventory coming up starting Sunday and ends Monday.

Our store isn't ready... the end results will not be good...

Where'd the snow go??

Well we had a white Christmas and it was nice seeing the snow while it was here, but now the snow is long gone and it's back to a leafy carpet on the ground outside my bedroom window.

The hill behind my house is covered with the leaves for so many fall's and when the maintenance guys from the complex snow blow the leaves, the guys blow them all on the hill or in the back corner there behind the townhouses.

That carpet of leaves covering the ground is currently shelter from the cold to the small ones and also a good place for birds, squirrels and other's to find food buried underneath.

While to some the leaves aren't a pretty sight, but to me they are beautiful and are much needed for the small ones outside to survive.

 

God has spoken!

Soo I swear I'm gonna try to get this out without too many typos... I'm laughing my booty off while typing.

The guy on the hill behind my place has his firepit on. I can literally see into their backyard from where I'm sitting.

Someone from inside the complex yelled up "Get a mask on outside you idiot!"

The guy on the hill yelled " Who dat, who said dat?"

The unknown voice yelled " God, now get your damn mask on!"

LOL I just can't with some of these people in this complex! 

Ooo Valley Brook is just gonna be fun... {insert sarcasm}

I just had a police officer on the doorstep about 5 minutes ago asking me if I had heard anything that happened a few doors down. I have music playing and heard nothing and Mom's snoozing in bed.

There are a hand full of police officers outside and 2 paramedics with a empty stretcher as well. 1 guy was handcuffed and put in the back of the police car while another was talking to an officer and telling him the guy who was handcuffed didn't do it.

Pete came home while I was talking to the officer so I'm feeling much better with him here. After my pup passed away it feels better with him living here with us. Teddy used to be fiercely protective of us. Oh well.. Not sure what happened, but I really hope who ever is injured is ok.
