15th day sober. I woke up a few times to pee but went to sleep again immediately. I slept in until 3 so I think it's time to taper back on the melatonin.
It was nice sleeping in (and getting in and out of) my nice new fresh sleeping bag. It cost me $30 and while Big-5 used to have deals it seems the last time I got one there they'd ended that and everything was at or near list. I expect this to continue, as it gets harder to get things from Asia.
I went on Amazon just now and got one of those respirator things that painters and guys who shape surfboards and so on wear, for when the air turns grey and then yellow and then orange and then red, and I have to go out and put in my hours on the bike in it. I also need to get either a ready-made air purifier or rig one up, for inside the office here. Last year I just breathed the crappy air and didn't feel anything from it but now I'm taking the longer view, that I've got to avoid the harmful effects of living here as much as possible, in preparation for the move back home in the best possible health.
I waited until it was dark and walked up to the big dumpster in front, usually locked up but I'd noticed was unlocked, and put the old sleeping bag in there. I'd have done it last night but there was a zombie fucking around with one of those homemade carts they like, with tiny wheels, and being defeated by the tiny bump of the driveway in the front of the complex. I rode right on by, leaving him to cuss and bumble around.
But at 10 O'clock tonight there were no zombies staggering around and I was able to get rid of it and two Uline catalogs with no problems. I could have left the sleeping bag, which I'd put into a plastic bag, out by the trash enclosure and let some bum pick it up, but I believe that's "aiding and abetting the enemy" and certainly not something I want to do.
The Smithfileld ham factory is no more. Even the main building is now just a pile of rubble. Once everything's rubble-ized and it's all cleaned away, I don't know if there will be the security guys coming through any more and that means possibly more scumsucker problems.
Breakfast had pretty much been a head of broccoli that I needed to use up, and had steamed and eaten with mayo. Pretty good! And dinner had been an experiment with pork chunks dipped in tempura batter and fried which was pretty good but not worth the effort.
At least I downloaded the tax forms I need to do my taxes, and packed the few orders that had come in.
