Exhausted.

I did get in for the serger lesson.  I learned some things, and was given a bit of homework.  So be it.  Lunch before.  I had intended to take boxes into recycling, but realized I had forgotten the items to be returned.  So, I just went on home, picked those up, and got back to town.

I wanted to fill the tank, but it was nowhere to be found!  I was worried.  Usually thieves don't take... such items.  So, out of an odd consideration, I checked with the neighbor.  Yep.  They are filling it, since they used it.  So... very grateful.  Danged kids, men type if that, going doing nice things.  Bah!  :p

I did get the packages back, and in.  Then dropped off the cardboard.  I put the serger and else back upstairs.  Oh, I even took the Xterra through the wash.  This time I watched.  The machines did flick the mirrors.  Can't be certain if it opened the gas hatch.  But, it put the mirrors back, and if it did get the gas flap, it closed it back up.  If they could do that before, why didn't they?  I think they... got the message.  I have just to the 27th, before this ends.  Then I'll try another company.  Though, to be fair, the one I am going to is closer.  Or considering.  There are two I will check out, actually.  The trick is to get it to pay out at the first of the month, not the end of the month, when things are tricky.

But, warm out there.  Here it was 80, the highest I have seen it.  Nicely drying things.  But baking.  After a few days, week, weeks it almost seems, of cool, today is brutal.  I'll take it.  Then I can get to trimming weeds, and cutting sprigs, and a few smaller trees.  I just need a few more days, to recover from today, and let things dry a bit better.

Oh, but a very successful day.  Three, and really four, things done in town, a shower, some learning, some things to do.  I am grateful for being able to suffer through it.  It is a grace to be able to go out, burn up, and work my body to it's limits, and probably then some.  I thank God every time I get to do so.

Tomorrow?  Because, yes, I think I am done today.  Boxes in this front room.  Then out to the Xterra.  If it looks to be dry for a while, I may see about doing a cement hole fill in the driveway.  And, maybe, some light weed whipping.  I'd like to hit a particular patch, then reset the small logs.  And, then, begin trimming the longer branches down to cuttable sizes and getting those stacked.  Though, as mentioned, the boxes, and this room in general, is the main target this week.  It's just good to have a few options.  As well, I may try to get the air filter changed, work on the in-cab air system, and see how well the jack works, and practice lifting parts of the Xterra with it.  So many things to do.  Not sure how much, or how fast, those things can be done.  But... lists sort of help.

Good afternoon, and day.  I think I'll strip to shorts, a t, and flipflops.  Play Doom.  Just some easy prep stuff.  Perhaps get another shower before bedtime.  Then... crash a bit early.  It is staying cooler in the back of the house.  Not sure about upstairs.  But, actually?  It's only 74 even here near the machine, indoors.  I'm just sweating because it was so warm out there.  Ugh.  I think it was 68 in the main.  Yea, I'll strip down a bit and go chill killing demons.  Later.
