A few days ago I was trying to put the recycling receptacle and the big garbage can away in my garage. It's a tiny little garage so things don't easily slide right in but I can usually manage to shove them where they belong. It was dark, so I couldn't see anything, but I figured there had to be something in my way when the garbage can wouldn't budge after 5 or 6 tries. I decided I would just leave it out and investigate in the morning.
Today, as I was leaving I remembered to take a peek. Where the garbage can usually sits was a moderately sized cardboard box containing: 1 metal spoon, 1 travel coffee mug, 1 cracked Mia Za's cup and one tupperware container. I don't care about anything but the spoon, so I just left everything there and ran the spoon inside to the sink (where a pile of dirty dishes - none mine- sit). I mean, it's just perplexing. Why are these combination of things in a box in the garage? No one goes in the garage but me. How long will they last out there? Oh, they also join a pair of gym shoes, a fleece and once I even found a bag of unopened curtains out there but that was from an old roommate.
So the saga continues.
