I drive through my old neighborhood to get to work.

I go through a school zone. It's a predominately black and latin neighborhood. You may have remembered my rants about the garbage that is dropped in the streets everywhere. The city doesn't have people coming to clean up so it just sits there. While going through the school zone yesterday I see a white lady talking to the lone crossing guard. She is gesturing toward the garbage. I can tell what she is saying. She's complaining about the amount of trash around and how are the children supposed to feel about themselves if they have to look at this trash all the time. Maybe if a WHITE lady gets involved, someone will do something.

The day before I was driving down Holden and there was a bus stopped letting passengers on. There were 3 or 4 cars in front of me, and two behind. When the bus pulled away and traffic started moving, I noticed as I passed that there was a laptop case sitting on the bench. OMG! Someone left their computer on the bench? I couldn't stop, I couldn't turn around, I coudn't catch up with the bus. I felt useless.

I had the most unsetting thing happen to me last night. I was making my lunch for today, A chicken salad. I cooked (baked) the chicken in the oven, and was going to cut it into strips to put on the salad. I made three cause I have to get all the way to 10pm tonight.
I remember putting the chicken on the salad in the tupperware bowl. I got up this morning and the BOWLS WERE STILL SITTING ON THE COUNTER WITH THE TOPS OPEN! I couldn't believe it. What the hell was I thinking! I can't remember what happened between putting the chicken on the salad and going to sleep. It's blank. Not to mention all that food is wasted. I'm really freaked by this cause I have no idea what happened.
