Car doctors and trash

I haven't showered yet today (don't worry, I will soon). Elizabeth and I have taken our car in to one of its TWO appointments with the car doctors this weekend. It's got a couple of problems and we need to fix them before we road-trip to Omaha next weekend. After dropping our car off this morning, we're basically stranded here in our apartment until we get the car back tomorrow. We did some house cleaning and some apartment cleaning too. My favorite part was returning a big wooden chest to the yard in which it belongs. See, every time there's a large piece of furniture by our dumpsters, we have to call in a bulk pickup to the trash company, and they charge our building $50. That's fine with us if it's one of our residents whose garbage it is, but this morning we saw an eviction taking place across the street and someone's possessions were strewn out all over their yard. A couple of hours later one of the wooden chests that had been sitting in the yard had been brought down to our dumpster and abandoned. That's NOT okay, because now we have to pay for other people's trash to be taken away... So Elizabeth and I picked that chest up and walked it right back across the street and set it in the now-empty yard. They'll have to find some other suckers willing to pay to have their garbage disposed of.
