I hope you had a good new year and made a good start to 26 which will set you up for plenty of good times for the next twelve months. Let me tell you about my end to the year and what the future looks like for me.
Back story is me and old mate are trying to declutter our home of nearly 30 years with one problem being every time she takes something to the Op Shop she brings something back. Cleaning and gardening are high on the agenda as well as we rattle around in a joint that is too big for us. Now remember this next bit, we have a bathroom each, mine is the boy toxic one and hers is the girlie clean one but for some reason she ventures into mine on occasion for various reasons, most of which is to chastise me on the state of the drain in the vanity, the toilet seat etc.
So, the end of 25 looks like this, I take George for his normal walk, and he usually does his business around the same area each day, this day is no different and I pick it up in doggy bag and then step back on the path straight on top of a great big dog poo. Disgusted at how someone hadn’t picked it up and looking at imbedded in my new runners I then realis there was no bottom in the poo bag I used, and I had stepped on my own landmine. Shoe off and I hobbled to the closest tap cursing my own stupidity and George’s bowel movements. I eventually cleaned my shoe and completed the walk but let me tell you the ambiance was not the same.
I got home and headed for the shower and found that old mate had cleaned and tidied my whole vanity cupboard, pills in one drawer, shaving gear in another and reworked the top draw where my toothbrush was, but now there were three. It all looked pretty good, so I had a shower and got ready for work marveling at my neat drawers as I brushed my teeth. It was then that it hit me, where is the old toothbrush I use to clean the tiles around the bathroom floor and the toilet, bloody hell one of three? Russian roulette with a toothbrush is something I certainly didn’t need to finish 2025.
2026 started for me with a new toothbrush, a litre of mouthwash and a deadest passion to keep my bathroom clean so Old Mate has no reason to touch my stuff, I hope yours works out better.
