Cat sand

Ok, time to blog again. It's been a while, but hey, never too late to make a comeback!

I am old fashioned. Yes, it is time to admit it. I like being able to pay with cash, I like talking to people in real life, I like to communicate seeing the other person, I like to know that the person behind the counter, the desk or similar is a person who looks me in the eye.

Unfortunately, that is the way we are moving away from. Nowadays, everything is digital. When I walk to my nearby store to buy food I see people walking on the street looking at the telephone, if they are not driving one of those e-bike monsters or whatever they are called. Nobody looks around, and nobody realizes that we live at the most trafficked road with 56,000 vehicles per day. Haha, miss it and you'll be as flat as a pancake.

Despite what I said, once a year I buy cat sand online. I am against buying things online but sorry, I cannot carry 14 kg bags of sand and I don't have a car. Yesterday I was rudely awaken at 9.30 (yeah ok, don't judge me, I was in bed at 4), and I started my day with carrying 140 kg of cat sand into my basement. I don't understand why they are putting two bags of sand into one carton, 28 kg. The bags are already in plastic with a handle. But at least this time they delivered all five cartons at the same time. Last time it was delivered over three days, one carton here, one carton there. Logistics, people, logistics!

So yes, I'm sorry I pollute the environment by buying cat sand once a year, but considering all the weekly packages I bring into our house for the neighbours every week I figure I'm pretty good after all saving the environment for all of you who have been inconsiderate enough to bring more children into the world.

Now, I have read about all the hate that people get online, and in my previous 10 years of blogging I only got one hate-comment. Gimme more if you're so inclined, and I'll answer.
