Current old women thoughts at this very moment.
I love my solitude; I love that I can read novels and not worry that I should be reading for my resume. I love my home and yard. I love my husband.
On the other hand, I do not love that husband’s back is not good (nor does he). Since I am having to do most of the heavy lifting around here, we have made the monumental decision to sign up for garbage pick-up. Every Thursday morning we will drag two garbage containers to the end of the driveway where the magic will be performed. No more going to the town dump, which has lost its appeal when the put-and-take and book exchange closed!
I don’t know if you consider this an old woman’s secret. Maybe it’s an old man’s secret. I have never taken pride or ownership in disposing of trash once it left the kitchen. But men around here like to go to the dump on a Saturday—old men and young men.
