Three for four, or so.

It wasn't as much of a push as I had thought.  It was a lot of work, as things go.  Shoveling first.  The back half was four to five inches, the fore half was more like two to three inches.  The salt may have helped.  Still, even a bit wet, more than I would like is trying to stick.  I'd like to salt again but it has already started to snow again.  Ah well.  Not only had they been working and helping doing my drive, they brought something in and cleaned my frontage areas.  Awesome!  That makes it a lot easier for backing in, for trash and recycling, for packages, and just because.  If that melts it becomes a lake, if not moved out a bit, which then becomes plate ice.  Very happy thing to see that opened up this morning.  Yeah, I was going to hit it.  I hadn't even bothered looking until I had pushed a mainline shovel through to near there.  Just looked up, took a happy step back to clear and make sure, then just grinned.

Recycling next.  I noticed it was coming through.  I didn't have all that much, but enough.  Then trash and cat litter.  That stuff weighs a bit after a bit of use and just as is.  I start with three sacks of the stuff between three boxes, then add another sack to fresh and help keep it going... at least if I am keeping up on clearing poop and mixing in pee.  If not it is just better to cut my losses.  Once cat litter goes to far south there just isn't much to be done for it.  Yeah, I really do keep up.  Nearly daily.  Slowly, through the year, I have been adding items to my daily to-do list.  And I do well, save when I have way to much other.  Even then I don't do too badly... two days instead of one, between cleanings... and that's good enough for a short term.  Yes, I made my bed this morning.

I may put some salt out as I prepare to go to the post office.  I just need a little break.  I did all that work all in one go.  Perhaps not a man's man's day job, but not bad.  And I'm not done.  I might be able to compile another bag of bureaucrat loot as well as make it to the post office.

I'll be able to sleep with a mostly clear conscience.  If it took all night to finally do some things, I did get to them.  Not even too late for pickup, I don't think.  But to salt or not?  Hmm... might check the forecast.  Not always right but it's what there is.  Later or good day, and night.

It STILL counts!  I did get to the post office.  There was mail, but the business portion is closed.  I am still counting it, even if I have to figure out how to be up, and out, tomorrow.  Packages, probably, will only be returned by business days in, though... maybe not.  I need to get what I can as soon as possible.  Bleh.  Oh, and it looks like I still missed recycling.  Double bleh.  Good night, and day.
