Ah, time, right.

I think it was just at 8:00, maybe 8:30, when I headed back to take a shower.  Ah, but trash!  Right, and I should find out about recycling.  Just check the neighbors... look both ways though, not all neighbors put on recycling, but if one of them have it out, it's usually right.  How do they do that?  Never mind.  Yep, recycling day, on both sides.  Has to be right, innit?  So, I begin with the trash.  Not much, two bags, when all is policed and done, and a quarter of that is cat litter.  Sad sacks even so.  But, as might be noticed, while collecting, I refreshed the cat litter, whole this time.  Whew, that... yeah.  I've been bad.  Busy or dying, so...  but bad just the same.  All good.  Then I gathered recycling.  Now that I don't drink soda, it's just cat food cans.  As I got that together, and one of the bags of trash, I noticed the forest of boxes that had accumulated, again, in the kitchen.  GAH!  So, I got the trash out, and the bagged recycling, then took the recycling bin out.  They pick that up earliest, but haven't been by according to one neighbor's full to lid-lifted state of his bin.  I would then try to break the boxes down, and get those in, before the final hour.  But I left the trash bin, as I still had another bad, the heavier one, and you never know if they leak as well.  Didn't want to track it through the house.  Busy on the cardboard, I got.  Pulling a Yoda and my favorite pocket slicer, I went to work.  Dehydrating air balloon packing, sorting paper packing (I save the paper), cutting, tearing, folding, knocking over the real dehydrator... which means it'll have to be washed.  Don't mess with dehydrators and cleanliness!  Don't, just... don't.  But not then.  Yeah... I got the stuff out.

But, here it is, 10:30 and change, and getting hot.  Not going to hike today.  I still have to get a shower and bath in, though I think I'm going bath first now.  My scalp is drying out, I want to see if using olive oiled water will help with that.  I'll take a leisurely stroll through personal cleaning, then go to town and drag my friend along if he will go... shopping and touring plus causing trouble as we may.  I missed his birthday, a meal and... a gift of some sort.  Hey, friends don't have to be on time, they just have try?  Hmm... I wonder what the old boy is curious about or wanting?  I shouldn't encourage the lad, but it's fun to watch.  Tit-for-tat, anyway.  *grins*

Yeah, I can get shopping out of the way, and look for a new buckle for the harness and maybe get that attached before I go hiking.  It will help, a lot.  Almost nothing is absolutely necessary, some things are just more or less useful.  A belt cinch for a heavy pack fits in the extremely useful, as I count things.  More eggs, and some other stuff.  And just getting out.  Hmm... best call him to let him know to stay hungry.  Oh, and yes, beer.  I'll be thinking it fair by this weekend.  Yes I will.  At least I know where all my time has been going lately.  Even if it still seems to tock away at a glacially slow pace.  Later.
