Stay at Home Chaos

A little insight to my mind. I dislike begging, scavenging, dumpster diving, taking things with a huge “Free” sign in someones yard, especially when you need to repair the item, aren’t even sure the item even works, or don’t even know what it is and take it anyway.

So Tim acquired the dumpster to put the pool and deck pieces into this past weekend. He has since put bunches of wood in it, but he’s not done putting the deck in it and the pool isn’t halfway removed yet. The fence surrounding the wrecking pit is still up. When Tim was moving the first bit of wood that was small, clean cut, and neatly stacked into the dumpster, a seen a car stop, a man come out and talk to Tim. Tim informed me the man wanted the wood and said he’d come back later to get it. Only he didn’t come back. That was a few days ago.

Now it’s Monday. I’m feeding the dogs when I see a white car u-turn on the street we have the dumpster on. It looked like he was coming from directly in front of the dumpster, although I am still unsure. I ask Tim if the guy ever came back to scavenge the wood and he said no, he believed his girlfriend talked him out of it. Apparently, the whole time this guy was asking Tim if he could take the wood, his girlfriend was in the car trying to talk him out of it. This man was actively embarrassing his girlfriend who clearly dislikes the whole experience.

So I asked Tim if the guy had a white car. He confirmed that the guy did. So I think he came back and got the wood which he wanted to use in bonfire. I still can’t believe he embarrassed his girlfriend like that.

For future information, I’m anti-clutter. Picking things up off the curb, in my opinion, creates clutter. Tim has picked up boxes filled with stuff on the curb before, only to toss most of it in the trash, and leaving me attempting to throw it out for years to come.

Have I mentioned that it was 9 years last month that Tim and I started dating? I can’t believe he’s tolerated me this long!
