The Russians really are the enemy.

 351st day sober. After sifting and sorting and getting a batch of Ebay stuff together, after Ken having come over and in general a tiring evening, I set the things aside and did some practice. 

Surprise surprise the high notes are almost completely back. Plus I'm doing more long tones on them. And I need to make sure to do this every day. Ideally, since I perform for 2 hours at a time my practice should also be more than an hour. 

Last night Ken brought over a part a guy in Russia had ordered, that got returned. Today I found out that Ebay not only refunded the guy but charged us a $20 "return fee". So I sent Ken an email, saying that if anyone from Russia or associated countries (Belarus, Kazakhstan) manage to buy something from us, I'm going to find a "problem with their address" and cancel the order. 

I took off at the usual time and didn't even need the bike trailer. All but one package went to the post office. It was really hot outside, and had peaked at 90 degrees. It was about 85 at 6PM. The drop-offs all went OK and because I didn't have the trailer with me I was able to lock the bike and go into H Mart and buy some fresh ramen kits to tide me over if I'm going to get a booster shot tomorrow and be sick over the weekend. 

I found some packing stuff, and today's freebies were about $5 worth of green onions for the ramen, a gas can for Ken, and a neat child seat for a bike that I think goes with that rack I just picked up, that I can sell as a set on Craig's List.

Hail to thee, Hoodie Bicycle Silencer Guy

 I could not get back to sleep last night after waking up at 4AM, and am pretty sure I lay awake in bed until about 6AM, then slept until 9:...
