Opportunity taken.

Whatever is wrong with me on those off days, like yesterday, does not intrude on every day. For whatever reason, I could not have done a butt planting today, sowing the seeds of regret and sorrow later. Who knows though, perhaps I simply need that time off when I take it. As I said, today is not a rest day.

I did not make it to city hall, but that will happen. I want to see if I owe money currently, when bills are due, and make sure they have my correct mailing address. Oh, that is something I could tend today as well, getting both of my old mailing addresses sent to this new one. They never did send mail from my original Logan address to my second address, even after 3 attempts to get that done. I think I will put the change of address cards in this post office. Perhaps Logan post offices are... problematic. And, no, I was not the only one. Both the people I "rented" from and my friend had the same problem for various lengths of time. I would guess my hosts corrected their problem more quickly by putting their card in to an Hawaii post office where my friend and myself kept trying to slog through the Logan post offices. Ugh...

I got the bed together! Well, mostly. I do note that the guys who put it together initially did, at best, a shoddy job. I wondered about some things, like why the headboard always came loose. It is not like I had them working in a bad, dangerous, or hot condition. With AC and lenience, too much it seems, I simply let them do their job. They asked if they could skip a couple of pieces (one now lost somewhere), and I consented. At the time, though, I was more interested in getting back in bed than in doing things right. I had little of anything to offer in defense or even offense. And, they took advantage of it. The bed is together correctly, save for the endboards. There is a piece missing that now goes on my list. I have to do something though, I realize now, as otherwise the parts that connect to the endboard will otherwise present a danger. Even a couple of dowels, drilled through, of low height and decent girth, would be safer. I also need better washers for the head and endboards. You would think for nearly $2k, parts would not only be good but right for the construction. Doh!

I watered the plants. They are looking better. All tomato plants have blossoms and the one green pepper plant fruit is getting larger daily it seems. The other plants might or might not do a thing. I am not even sure I will get tomatoes. But it looks good, it is pleasing, and it gives me more daily chores. I do need to get 'baskets' to put around the plants though. The green pepper plant needs support badly, and if tomatoes do come on, those plants will need even more support. That, too, goes on my list... or is refreshed as I see the plants actually surviving. Another thing with that, maybe tonight, is to rig the hoses, timer, and sprayer so as to water the plants more easily. I have 100 feet of hose, which should be enough. The timer is just a twist timer, so I will need to watch it a bit. I am nervous about the sprayer though. I am hoping I can only partially turn on the water and still use both the timer and sprayer. More engineering is at hand, and it simply might not work. In that case, since I still have not returned the leaky watering hose, that might come in to play. Options, gotta have options.

The dishes are soaking, too. A fresh batch of dish water, and some tumbling, before I changed the cat litter out and then watered the plants. I plan on having those done before I head to my appointment. Time is slipping away quickly, and I also need a shower. Shower first, I think. That way if I need to abandon the dishes part way through, I can. Though I doubt it, there really are not that many. Still, think tactically, then move forward... innit?

Good day.
