The Daily: Cleaning Up Dog Poop at Night

 Thursday, March 31, 2022

12:31 am: My son just let me know in such a polite manner that the dog pooped on the carpet in his room. Here we go. Off to clean up dog poop in the middle of the night. 

4:07 am: Husband up and doing something that is making quite a bit of noise. More dog poop? As much as I am curious I don't even want to know. I would like to sleep more, please.

5:30 am: Alarm. I thought when your kid sleeps through the night you would get to sleep through the night as well. No, no, no. Don't dream to big people.

6:06 am: At the gym. There is a lady who always moves through the machines strangely. Like, she comes from between the stairmasters to get to the treadmills instead of following the walk path around them. I was getting off my treadmill and she was standing right behind me, startled me. Follow the path lady.

7:02 am: Back from the gym. The house smells bad, like dog poop. I grab a flashlight and go down into the kids room and lucky for me there was plenty more dog poop and, and pee. Back to scrubbing. Something is obviously bothering the dogs stomach. Poor her...poor me.

7:49 am: Watching the news and drinking coffee. Working on a story for The News With No Sound about a man of the street style report I saw in which no one who was asked could name a Los Angeles mayoral candidate or the current mayors name. Uh oh, not looking good Angelenos.

9:13 am: Cleaning up the kitchen, the sink looks stained and gross, I gotta scrub it. How does something we use to clean things get so dirty? Its kind of gross.

9:45 am: Scrubbing the carpet from the dogs great bathroom experiment last night. Scrub, dry, check, scrub some more. This may become a whole day of cleaning. Joy Joy!

10:16 am: The husband is replacing the kitchen faucet. There are going to be some profanities flying around this house. Once again, neighbors bring your pets and children inside.

10:30 am: Making "Did you know" TikTok videos with The Baby Gene...pretty fun and cute.

11:00 am: The kid came upstairs just to hang out with me. This is weird. I like it but, it's weird.

11:45 am: Husbands getting us Poke and I am making the kid frozen pizza from Costco. Gourmet at its best.

1:25 pm: Back to working on the kitchen faucet. Things are not going well, we've got a pipe pieces that's stripped. So the husband has to go to the Home Depot, he is M A D. We are staying A W A Y.

2:10 pm: Took the dog for a walk hoping that she will stop her pooping in the house. It probably won't matter, now she has a taste for the sweet life of pooping in the house. 

3:40 pm: Pulling weeds, raking, and picking up all the debris. Oh yah, the plumber is here now to finish putting in the new faucet. Shit just got expensive.

5:00 pm: Making Kielbasa and pasta for dinner, one pot. That's all I can manage to wash.

6:10 pm: Back to the mean streets to walk the dog. The kid wants to walk with us, again weird, I like it, but weird.

7:41 pm: Watching Winning Time on HBO, it's pretty great so far.

 

9:07 pm: Still watching Winning Time, as usual that's saying something. Good night.
