After listing Ebay stuff last night I got some practice in and I guess it went OK. It seems like in real terms the average progress is slow but steady, while on a day-to-day basis I have good days and less good ones.
I had Ebay things packed but I packed another thing or two and got out of here the usual time. I got to the post office just in time in that, when I put my things in the chute it almost jammed but didn't. Which means if I were 10 minutest later it may have been jammed. Whew! I shopped at H Mart but all I ended up getting was some overpriced near-beer. I wanted to get some noodles but the kind I like that come with fresh noodles were gone as in all gone. All the flavors even less-popular ones like "shio" (just salty) and so on.
I got fish and chips on the way back and checked for packing stuff, finding, as usual, some.
After eating I finally finished the load of laundry I'd had soaking for a couple of days(!). That was really bugging me but I always had stuff I had to get out, stuff I had to list, didn't feel like messing with cold wet clothes and water at 4AM, etc. I thought about how, when I did laundry at Ken's, I really only had a time window of 2-4AM Thursdays so it's always been down to a narrow time window when it must be done or miss out for the week. So, I'll start laundry Saturday night by which I mean put it in to soak, and then sometime on Sunday do the plunging and rinsing etc. and hang it up. And it will have to be done every week.
Ken came by and wrote out my check but had forgotten to get the power supply I need to mail, so he left me the key to the upstairs storage unit and told me how to get to it; it turns out I have to enter a different gate code for each storage unit. It's weirder if you've got three of the things; apparently you have to enter all three codes if you're going to visit all three. But in this case I'm just going to one and it's one I haven't been to so it should be interesting. I have to do this tomorrow night after doing the bank and my usual errands.
I had about 8 packages of Datrex left and asked Ken if he wanted them and he did. I talked him out of a $20 spot for 'em too. I told him about my idea that the stuff probably makes a great breakfast cereal. That $20 will repay me for paying $8 for two overpriced little bottles of rubbing alcohol at the hardware store and also the $12 I can hopefully fork over for two large bottles at the bodega.
I was actually having thoughts of doing a bit of busking tomorrow after the bank. But since I'll have to hurry back to go get the power supply that takes care of that. And Ken's supposed to come by on Sunday to move things around so I'll sort of want to be around for that. When I was going to Santa Cruz all the time from Gilroy it seemed my work year was from April 1 to November 1 and the object of winter was just to get through winter. Maybe that's the schedule I'm just destined to have.
