Well, that was a pleasant surprise - the contractors-bucket did not contain

used motor-oil; it was full of ice-melt.  While i prefer rock-salt, because it works better.  Still, that's one less heavy bag to deal with, come November.  Anyway, the bucket was dirty on the outside - so yeah, i cleaned it.  Yep, don't like dirty ... anything - even in the shed.  

Also wanting the shed to be reasonably tidy, wanting the hedge-trimmers to be clean, as well as other things?  Is that neurotic?  No.  That's a girl thing.  That's even in the Bible, women being keepers at home.  In short, it's a gal's God-beatowed nature to want to keep things clean - or at least reasonably grunge free.  

So, point of this post is:  yesterday at work, was treated to an interesting conversation.  Though, wasn't at all surprised with its proceedings.  Two men co-workers were delightfully filling each other in, about their wives terrific incomes.  The wives make alot more than their husbands.  Nope, no surprise there.  The two husbands have gainful jobs, but with wifey working a power-job, there's plenty left over for hobbies (gag :/).

Being widowed, and living alone (and keeping it that way), i happily have the time to keep things tidy.  When you share a home with someone, of course, your time is not your own.  There's less time to keep things neat, and work involved in that process.  Now, add a full-time job, plus the commute...

It's said that more divorces are initiated by wives.  Maybe so... after all, there you are, (stressfully) working both shifts - and very grateful to the gubment diversity/inclusion legislations (which generally, exclude the most qualified for that tertific-paying job).  Well anyway, wifey might get to thinking, after awhile, hey, what do i need him (and his cluttery hobbies) for?
