I felt worn out and tired last night and didn't even practice but went right to bed. I had a dream that I was selling stuff at a flea market and hardly made any sales, which made me really sad. I then cheered myself by going to a model train show and the enthusiasm of the guys who were into trains cheered me up, and I also tootled around a bit on a sort of go-kart that was battery powered and not street legal so I had to stick to a little side street.
I woke up feeling really weird. I had coffee and so on and packed things that just had to go to FedEx, and took them to FedEx. I got some leeks out of the organic dumpster, and stopped by Tom's on the way back and dropped off some leeks for him and we talked for a bit. He said the Mad Max truck without things like doors, lights, license plate, etc., belonged to a bum he knows named James, who was probably off to get one of his other junk vehicles to jump start this one and get it going again.
Tom said today he called off of work because he had the "Rogers Avenue Blues" - he felt very depressed and "off". He went and joined the gym up the street and I guess that dispelled them enough. I suggested all sorts of things to do that might be "cheerful" but he's already eaten, and didn't have any ideas.
As we talked James The Bum showed up with another apocalypse-mobile and got to work jump started the first wreck. Soon a bum SUV I've seen sneaking around showed up and the bum in it got out to help or "help" James. I had to go, also, so I went.
I picked up some peppers and tomatoes from the veggie dumpster and found exactly zero things in the "bountiful" dumpster and got back in here. I unloaded the bike trailer and made two trips taking the pile of networking wire support things out to the side of Bayshore, where they'll be seen by many more people and someone will pick them up.
Now I'm contending with a headache and feeling really lousy. I pre-packed the things that have to go and even that felt like a lot of effort. Then I cooked up a leek and onion (and cheese) soup and ate that, which made me feel a little bit better.
