Homemade Donuts and the Garbage

Odd, unconnected thoughts race through my brain when I first wake up in the morning. It's in that first 30 minutes that I remember everything in my life that I've forgotten to do or need to do (like, the morning after I quit my job, I remembered every single thing I didn't train my replacement on), but I also just have random thoughts.

This morning one of my first thoughts was, "Mmmmmmm....I can still smell the scent of homemade donuts from last night." I'm telling you people, they not only smell but taste incredible. I just hope they taste as good this morning. Oh, and they're probably the ugliest donuts ever to exist, but this is just my practice round. Shhh, I'm making them for my mom for Christmas!

My next thought was, "Wednesday. Tomorrow is garbage day." I don't know why I always remember this because my next thought was, "When was the last time I had to empty the garbage cans around the house?" I couldn't remember the last time. I think I decided I may have done it once in the 2+ years we've been in this house. Yes, I take out smelly or full kitchen trash sacks . . . but basically, Ryan just takes care of it. I never asked him to start doing it. We moved in and he has done it ever since. I woke up thinking how grateful I am for that. Maybe Ryan woke up thinking he was grateful for donuts. I'll have to ask him.
