Papa DO preach! I vividly remember being on my own for the first time

 Papa DO preach! I vividly remember being on my own for the first time and super disgruntled about the price of garbage bags. Could not believe you have to pay money for something thats only purpose is getting thrown out. To this day one of my biggest beefs with the cost of living in my city is that garbage men don’t get paid a living wage. Who the f wants to live in a city without garbage men?!

Our trash and recycle both come on the same day but at different times. Last week I thought the recycle had been picked up, so I went out to roll the empty barrel back into my garage, and ended up chatting with a neighbor and getting the mail while I was out there. I brought my barrel back in, and 5 minutes later the recycle truck came and picked up the barrels. I was distracted by conversation and mail, so I didn't recognize that my barrel hadn't been emptied yet. This week my barrel was filled to the top, and I had anxiety about it all week.
