Cleaning was a task I took particularly seriously. Partly because grief manifests itself in weird ways, but also because my grandma was notorious for keeping a tidy home.
And she taught me one genius hack I still use today: Always keep a roll of trash bags at the bottom of the can. That way, you always remember to replace the bag, which prevents you from accidentally tossing trash into the can bare...
Now that my husband and I are back in our own home, I use this hack for every trash can in our house: the kitchen, bathrooms, and office space.
And, sure, it's probably odd to think fondly of your grandma every time you take out the trash. But I'll take any opportunity to remember her. No matter how small and strange.
