Midweek Check In
Happy Hump Day to you and yours! Anyone else having a case of the "short week feels longer than a regular week" yet or does that hit tomorrow? Unfortunately, Monday afternoon the tweens/teens found the pool not too far from the abode so we got to listen to the hootings of young, insecure males attempting to show off for both girls and their fellow brethren. I'm really hoping this is just some cousins visiting or something for the weekend because I know of only one teen boy here and he's a loner. Is pool season over yet? It always starts strong like this and then typically dies down within a month but what an irritating month it is until then. We did some more work out on the patio Monday. It was going to be the last sunny day before two days of forecasted rain...again. I made sure to get the new picket painted and hung to cover this delightful sight: When the picket was off, I could see how bad the support 2x4's looked on the fence. ...
Weirdest place that comes to mind for me is when we were checking on the progress of our condo - new construction. I had one of those sudden urges that just wasn't going to let up but our place was still basically without any toilet yet. Thankfully the building across the street was further along and wide open. With nobody around (it was night time) I went in one of the units in the dark (no electricity yet) and wrecked the thankfully working toilet.
ReplyDeleteWe did lots of camping when I was a kid so lots of peeing in the woods which I actually preferred to the pit toilets available some places. There was one time that we pulled over to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere (mom and dad have this thing against freeways so we always took back roads everywhere - which means almost no traffic and no rest stops) and there was this rock there with a hole in the middle. It was like a naturally eroded toilet seat into open air behind some bigger rocks.
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite joke! I used to tell it to my bestie's now deceased husband all the time. I was always laughing so hard I couldn't give the punchline and we would be rolling around laughing our heads off. Great memory we still talk about today. My aunt had a real outhouse complete with a quarter moon cutout that I used often because she had 9 kids so the bathroom was usually busy. The weirdest is when I go to the lake with my friend. Everyone anchors their boats and we stand in waist high water. I have had people tell me they just peed while talking to me! Yuck! I at least walk away to go.
ReplyDeleteI know I've pooped in the woods before on camping trips but I have a vague memory of doing so in a bucket somewhere as well. Just can't remember the circumstances. LOL
