Remember the time when I had left the garage door open on a beautiful, sunny and warm fall morning. It was a Sunday and I was up early, as usual. Letting you sleep in, I went outside to take care of all the animals and decided that the cement slab would get nice and warm with the way the sun was shining if I left both garage doors open. I knew you were planning on working out in the garage later when you woke up. I then went back into the house and made breakfast and we had it out on the patio with our long, lingering coffee and conversation afterward.
Soon after you walked up to the garage, you came STORMING back to the house, where I was vacuuming the downstairs gathering room. You were having an absolute FIT about all the leaves that had blown into the garage. You could not BELIEVE that I left those doors open, even though you did it all the time to "warm up the slab" and make the garage more comfortable to work in. Being the fall season, there were plenty of leaves and the breeze in the morning when I left the doors open was not enough to even rustle them. Evidently, while we were having our breakfast a wind had come up. I went up there with you and saw that leaves had blown in, but it wasn't exactly six feet deep, like you would have had me believe. I did apologize and explained why I left the doors open, but that wasn't enough for you. You ranted on about it all day long and ruined a perfectly lovely day for me. You ruined it for yourself too, because it really was NOT a tragedy to have leaves blow into your garage, which you had "just swept clean yourself" the day before.
Why didn't you EVER think about all the stuff you walked through a clean house with on your shoes, boots and pant legs? I would spend my whole day off cleaning, especially when we had company coming over for dinner or something. You'd be walking through from the back door to the basement entry...back and forth...sawdust, wood chips, metal scraps, leaves, dirt....all kinds of debris falling to the carpet in our HOUSE! The you would come in and take off your outer shirt that was full of whatever you'd been working around and drop it on the floor or throw in on a chair.
Why did you never see that you so often did things to OTHERS when you constantly raged that people did to YOU????
