Up at 3. Last night I packed the things I absolutely had to pack, including a large roll of titanium sheet, and skipped on the rest in favor of doing a load of laundry. Now, in the light of day, I'm even more glad I've set up my own laundry system because for some reason there's a shortage of coins. Laundry at a laundromat requires a fair number of quarters. These days I just toss all my change into a bag except for the copper pennies which I've been saving for years.
I really hoped I'd be up at 1 or 2, but here I am. I'd also gotten a decent practice in last night.
So I woke up at three, and after having my iced coffee and so on, had an hour to pack what I was going to pack before getting out of here at 5 sharp. That was 8 packages.
I did my drop-off route, and the dumpster behind H Mart gave me cabbage for a good old corned beef and cabbage dinner (I'd popped a can of Hereford last night for dinner) and the one by Grill 'Em gave me as much celery as I wanted, but I just took two bunches. And the vehicle graphics place had a nice big piece of black vinyl.
I got back and put things away, and since I'd taken a little break at the egg-shaped robot place on my way back from H Mart, I didn't feel hungry and headed right back out for some shopping. I got all kinds of things from actual Scott toilet paper to booze to more Yakult to a cheap Hawaiian beer, and rode up to where the nasturtiums are and picked 20 "nasties" and headed back. By the dept. of education place there were two scumsuckers on their bikes but they didn't give me any trouble since I of course had my "explainer" stick with me and looked eager to use it.
I got back here and made an interesting salad. Cut-up celery, nasturtiums, and I opened a jar of kim chee I need to use, and took a lot of pieces of that, torn up small, and some of the juice and put that in. Then put a decent amount of Kewpie mayo, and mixed. It was good! I followed it up with two boiled eggs, and noticed something: if I roll the egg around in breaking up the shell, it seems to make the shell comes off a bit more easily.
So that was good, and I was all relaxed, and then I remembered that the toner in my printer is running out and fast. I couldn't find the "Speedy Inks" toner I'd bought in preparation for this, and was beginning to wonder if I'd actually gotten it, or had already used it, or what. So I jumped on Amazon and ordered one, then realized that's going to the (Ken's) house, and on July 1st or so. So I got back on and ordered another, of another brand, to come in Friday to the Amazon hub downtown. Maybe I could get by until then. Then I cussed a *lot* and searched the whole office and found the damn toner, so at least I can print labels, and I'll use the other toners in time anyway. They're less than $20 a pop.
