Good News: Most of the recycling had already been taken out by my husband, leaving me with one bag of trash and some recycling I had in my car.<\/p>\n
Bad News: Asshole people walking their dog(s) didn\u2019t pick up their dog\u2019s shit, which I squarely stepped in, as I took out the trash.<\/p>\n
Buried News: I did not notice I had done this.<\/p>\n
News with Foreshadowing: I returned to my car, and as I started to drive to work, I thought I smelled something. Something very bad. Very very very bad. My brain puzzled perhaps it was a skunk. The one part of my brain that was apparently functioning on all cylinders puzzled back why we hadn\u2019t smelled it when depositing the trash.<\/p>\n
Newsflash: Shit on my shoe. Had to be. Oh god, there\u2019s a big leaf also stuck, and it can only be one thing gluing that to my shoe: shit. Shit shit shit shit shit shit.<\/p>\n
Feature News Piece: I am driving, and it\u2019s trash day. There are people out and about, and I hang a sharp right into the northern part of our neighborhood, desperately looking for a spot to pull over, exit my vehicle and rectify this HORRIBLE SITUATION. I didn\u2019t want to pull in to a driveway, and I needed to pull over, but not in front of a house where a car was in the driveway, or where someone was walking out to put out their trash. Commence mouth-breathing. Drive by friend\u2019s house, discover I have not gone this way in a long time. Finally find a suitable spot, get out, start scraping and hopping about in a generally disgusted manner while waving arms wildly that can only be accentuated by the bell sleeves I\u2019m wearing..<\/p>\n
Breaking News: The beep of a car horn sounds behind me. Oh fuck, what now? Oh hai. It\u2019s my friend Robyn, with her daughter. They slow and ask if I\u2019m ok. (of course I\u2019m ok. but I\u2019m NOT ok, oh, lord.) I stammered something about dog shit and bodily harm to those who don\u2019t clean up after their animals and after determining I was only crazy in the sense I\u2019m always crazy, they went on their way. I grabbed Wet Wipes from the back seat, and attacked my shoe, as well as the pedals. GAH.<\/p>\n
Slow News Day: Arriving at work, I could only splutter. I then spent ten minutes washing my shoe, five more minutes washing my hands, and went on with my day.<\/p>\n
Headline of the Day: Sushi lunch. Yum.<\/p>\n
Leisure News: Get out of work a bit early, come home, turn on television, and five minutes later, something is definitely wrong with the tv.<\/p>\n
Bad News: The tv is fucked. Internet search turns up a common problem. Holiday tomorrow, no options.<\/p>\n
Good News: Said tv was purchased from CostCo, prior to the change in their television return policy. Locate scanned receipt. Note to self, somewhat smugly, this is why giant box has been in storage. Call store and get confirmation that television is, indeed, returnable for a full refund.<\/p>\n
News Wrap-Up: Collapse in heap. Revive, pull out tiny flat screen tv and hook up to various components. Band-aid, at best, but it will do. And a whole lot better than the dog a-poopeh on mah shoe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
