I have resolved to do something nice for someone for every single day in 2013. It is a popular idea now to "pay it forward," but I'm going to prove that it can be done every single day. And I'm going to see how popular and acceptable it really is, from the reactions of people to my kindnesses.

Kindness 91
Today was garbage day, but before you judge me for boring you with garbage day again, remember that it was the long weekend and there were three days worth of extra garbage for everyone on our street. That's relevant because I didn't just take bins back to the houses for my neighbours. It was extremely windy today (yes, I know that happens a lot too) but it was the kind of windy that blew over the full bins of recycling and garbage. I went outside five times before lunch to return bins to the proper lawns and pick up garbage fro the street. By the time the trucks actually went by I'd done it over ten times, and then when they did I went out again to deliver the bins back to their rightful households. It's an indication of how common the wind is that most people here write their addresses on their bins. E was napping so I was able to take the time to do this. I also fully intended to go out after dinner to clean up the garbage from the street and some lawns, but by the time we got home and ate, the wind had taken it all away somewhere else.
