That went fairly well.

I tore down the boxes to get those in, then noticed the sprinklers weren't running.  I tinkered with that, got them to work, then they up and quit.  I simply took the timer off and did a direct water.  Then I loaded the cardboard, put that in the bin, then checked my mail.  Yep, four packages.  More tomorrow, for sure.  I just... couldn't... go into town looking like I did.  I didn't really want to shower either, especially with dishes soaking.  But I need to get off sugar.  So...  I drained the dishes to set out and get another soak when I finished my shower and hopped in.  I have been using a spray bottle for my soap here at home.  D.C. had said something about that for BMan, and since I used liquid soap, I wanted to try it.  It's super, by the way!  I mix half water and half of my soap.  Since I use peppermint soap it's best to close your eyes until well after spraying, and maybe even hold your breath for a few seconds after spraying.  Yeah, that'll work quite well out there.

Shower taken, I wanted to hook the bike up to the rack and drive with it.  I will tell you, it sure feels... wobbly on there.  I added a bunch of bungee cords, to little or no avail, as far as I could tell.  Still, I wanted to see.  I watched as closely and as often as I dared.  I checked very closely during bumps in the road and during breaking and acceleration.  She held just fine.  I got several twelve packs of the diet goop.  I may get more some other time, but this will do for about a week or two of heavy drinking.

I still have to get the trash policed up and put out, but other than that I am ready for bed when I can get to sleep.  I want to be in by 10:00-11:00.  My appointment is at 13:00, if I have to stop to drive my friend in and I'd like to be in early enough to get him to the DMV, as well as be to my appointment a bit early to try to get him a spot.  His permanent driver's license has not arrived yet and it should have been to him long ago.  Well, at least I am clean for bed.  It seems so hot though, I just haven't been able to cool down all day, if that hasn't stopped me.  Actually just the opposite I believe.

A bit of... goofing... before I get the trash collected and out.  Oh, and I'll police the French press and coffee grinder...  Might as well put the grinder in with what else is soaking.  Good night.

Oh, I saw the perfect woman tonight.  Unmarried, the right size, but... too old by about 15 years, maybe 20.  Yeah, boy, she noticed me too.  It isn't a what, it's a who I am looking for.  And she was a who, otherwise.  I realized, though... my years of nearly torturous celibacy, even as halting as that has been, as directed toward doing right by a woman, and my nature from before...  I think I will be just fine if I can find her.  She'll know before I, perhaps.  But she is out there.  *smiles*
