Trash

When I started this little blog you were a young teen, and now you have grown into a lovely young woman.  Time has flown by and this blog has been sorely neglected.  So why bother posting now when you already know most of what I will say?  I'm sure there is much I've neglected to tell you and here will be a record of it for posterity. :)





Last week your little Muffin got into some rat poison which resulted in large vet bills for you, so I thought now would be a good time to discuss the importance of emptying the trash daily.  That seems like such a trivial thing, but as you now know, it can have devastating results if neglected.  You are the type of person that will always have pets or children afoot, so emptying all waste baskets on a daily basis will be key.  So many things that we toss in the trash are harmful to pets and/or children if ingested.  Broken glass, razors blades and other sharp items really should be carried to the outside trash immediately.  Plastic liners for small waste baskets are great for keeping the can clean and free of gum that a thoughtless person may just toss in the can without first wrapping it in something, but these bags are notorious as choking hazards.  With that in mind, sanitizing your waste baskets will also be an ongoing project.  Why am I telling you this now?  If you get in the habit of taking about one minute of each day to empty each of the trash cans, you won't even have to think to remember it when you have a place of your own; it will be a natural part of your daily rhythms and routines.  Start today ;)
