A day of good effort.

I broke down the last few boxes from here and there.  Those were put in the back for on to town.  I got the things together that needed to be returned.  I completely forgot my list.  All good.  I think I got everything and change.  I didn't get going until late, 15:30 or so?  I wasn't sure the package stores would be open.  My next worry was whether the recycling area would be open, so... of course, I hit those first.  It all worked.

Then shopping.  If found some low-carb almonds on sale, and sunflower seeds.  A few other things not on my list were grabbed.  If I happen to see a sale, and it is things I will definitely use, I may just go for it, except for perishables... or ones that can't be frozen.  Yeah, I really tore through the store.  I even bough cocoa in case I didn't have any... for the dry "shampoo".  Yeah, why not give it a shot.  I like the idea.  I won't get a batch together tonight, or I'd try it.  But soon.  As well, I will give the baking soda bath a shot.  Look, if it's between something that helps, even a bit, and nothing... I'll take nothing... assuming I can even do that.  Some days just eating... heck, just getting out of bed... is a trick.  Sure, I am doing better.  But better, for me, is not better for you.  Or... maybe I will toss it together tonight.  I've worked pretty hard.

After that store, on to another, the one that might be a source.  Well, there are some things there.  There are even things I wasn't looking for, specifically, but which I am pleased to know... such as kefir cultures.  If I mess those up it is probably a lot cheaper, in milk, to just buy another batch.  All I'm saying.  I did find brie, but no other cheeses I was hoping to find.  I forgot to ask, though... I don't think they would know, perhaps say.  It's hit and miss, I guess, anywhere.

Oh!  While dropping the boxes off, I saw a bin just for styrofoam.  Since I have to be in to town again tomorrow, I will get rid of those as well.  There were a few things I missed, I just found the list.  So, if business runs smoothly and quickly, perhaps there will be time for a bit more shopping.  DMV, property taxes, recycling, but first for an oil change and inside car wash?  If I can get the inside cleared, and if I am running early enough.  Ugh.  Yeah, well, I'll keep at it.

I've got to admit, I get the strangest feeling in town.  Being it is dames I generally interact with, it's often a respectful hate thing.  Some of them are pleasant though too.  Guys generally tend to be more positive in their reactions.  Unless they are a certain type.  Or even the clean cut type who seem to misunderestimate me.  The woman at the last checkout was refreshing.  She seemed genuinely pleasant.  We bantered pleasantly without... any cues or teases or games or...  Yeah, that's how I like to deal with women I don't otherwise know.  Nice enough looking, but she would consider herself too young.  And, for my part, I have places to go and things to do.  A woman would be a little heavy to add to it.  And the most a woman would do is slow me down long enough to tie her up, then off we'd go.  Not something, here, now, I am looking for.  If it happens, cool, not looking.

Back home, unpacked, this and that here and there.  Brutal.  Tired, my lower left, if still mid, back has a kink in it.  Just from going, really.  Nothing I lifted was enough per a time or over time.  And, yet?  Beautiful.  I love turning my body into a minor wreck, with plans to keep at it for probably two to four more days, and thinking... yeah... I can do it.  And possibly being right.  Later, or good night.
