Another all-nighter

 314th day sober. I got back from all the going to the bank and shopping and all that, yesterday, and finally just had to go to bed around 2PM. 

I woke up at a bit after 10PM with a start. It was Thursday night, the night the trash is picked up. I got out there and put stuff into the dumpster and the welding place's trash can, and pulled a lot of bubble sleeves out of the latter. Also found there was room for the electrophoresis parts so those went in too. I even stuck my personal trash in there so now a lot of stuff is gone and the place is neater. 

I had some sashimi I'd bought at Nijiya and got to work listing the books I'd found Wednesday night. Most were not worth too much, anywhere from $5 to $35 or so, but one turned out to be almost $200 on Ebay. I checked Amazon and there was one copy for $110 so I priced ours at $99. Ebay's new listing system for books is almost fun because you can put the ISBN in and if it "know" that ISBN all the information is filled in for you. 

So I stayed up through the night again. Maybe I can shift my schedule around that way, around to where at least I'm up by noon. That's how it was at Ken's house. I'd be up at noon and cooking my breakfast and having a coffee and done by the time Ken came downstairs to cook his breakfast. 

I'm getting less and less fond of going out and around at night and if I can get used to getting up earlier I can entertain ideas of going up to SF once in a while. 

I got involved watching the year 2000 version of "On The Beach" which is over 3 hours long, practicing octaves and long tones on the flute headjoint. So call it over two hours of practice. That movie is a pretty good one and since this is my first time seeing it sober, I noticed a lot of little details I didn't see before. 

I packed 14 things and was out of here at a quarter to 5. The drop-offs went fine, and  did some shopping at H Mart.

I found the trash enclosure where I pick up tons of bubble sleeves to some kind of large tablet or small laptop, and often other neat things, locked. But interestingly the medical place's dumpster was open, although it had just been cleaned out. I stopped at the tire place and pulled out some foam sheet and, amazingly, 12 or 15 AED pads that someone had apparently taken from the medical place then decided they don't need. 

 I got back here and felt hungry so I had a 3 oz. package of prosciutto and a couple small cucumbers and ... hunger gone. That's the nice thing about being seriously "keto", if you're hungry it doesn't take much to calm your stomach down and meanwhile you're burning body fat.
