Frustrated

Happy Thursday Everyone! after a night of heavy rain and gusting wind we only have cloudy skies today but the wind is still strong. Of course tonight is trash night but if the wind doesn't die down then I guess we'll have to wait until next week to put the trash out. Last time we had wind like this the trash cans were blown all over and trash was all around the neighborhood. It was so bad that our HOA actually sent out an email stating that when it's this windy we shouldn't put the cans out. You would think common sense would have prevailed but no. I just wasted an hour of my time waiting for my computer to update. I sat down with my coffee, all ready to chat and do some online stuff when the computer decided to do an update. Usually, I get a notice or it just updates in the middle of the night so I guess it just had a mind of it's own this morning. Why it took an hour is beyond me. While it was updating, I decided to read my book. It's a page-turner for sure and I'm tempted to just read all day (it's that good). In case you're wondering it's First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston. It was on the Goodreads list last year as being one of the top books but I never got around to reading it. Although my day was off to a non routine start I am hoping to still be able to spend some time here and chat for awhile. My daughter has a meeting this afternoon so she's taking an early lunch. Meanwhile, I want to go online and see what's on the registry for the bridal shower for my grandsons fiance. The shower is already next month so it's time to get crackin. Hope everyone is having a good day

That is pretty annoying on both counts. Do you have a garage or somewhere to store your trash until next week?

Yes I have plenty of room in the garage for the trash cans.

@Marilynda1225 That's good. My trash should be taken out too, but I will have to wait until I have the car. It will be ready Monday so I can last that long, or maybe I will take it out Sunday if friend comes down.

It seems that common sense just isn't common is it?

Common sense seems to be disappearing

We rarely get bins blowing over, especially before they're emptied. The winds never seem to get that strong here.

we didn't get any snow thankfully. March will be a roller coaster but spring isn't far off now

We've been getting fluctuating weather here too. Guess winter is trying to hang on while spring is fighting to get here.

I have our trash can chained to a post where it can't get blown anywhere & the trash people just unhook it & rehook it back. I use to have my computer do a auto update but I now do it myself cause that way I don't have to worry about it.

I would be frustrated by that mess too. Also, congrats to your grandson and his fiancé on their upcoming marriage!
