I also cut my hair and shaved.  Picked up the kid around 3 and got to the chiropractor and Costco for my paper towels.   I am making progress cleaning out my office and bedroom.  I&#8217;ve piled stuff everywhere and it&#8217;s time to move it.  Long past time really.   As part of that I sorted and put away receipts from auctions, and in the process found some I needed for other stuff.  Also refreshed my mind regarding what I paid for a few things,  especially things I though I&#8217;d sell.  Time to do that.<\/p>\n<p>The rat traps haven&#8217;t caught anything.  My wife says she heard movement in the attic, but I guess I&#8217;ve raised a local colony that won&#8217;t touch peanut butter.  Everyone says they can&#8217;t resist the peanut butter, but these rats do.  You have to kill them quickly before they warn their compatriots.   That is hard earned wisdom folks.  Or something anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to do pickups today but it makes more sense to delay until tomorrow.  That way I can combine the longest trip with a bunch of shorter ones, and get the most efficient route.  The longest trip wasn&#8217;t available for pickup today. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll continue with my house clean\/organize\/get ready to sell stuff plan.   It&#8217;s not often that I get three days of consistent effort on one task when I&#8217;m at home.   Even now, I&#8217;m tempted to mow the back yard, or switch  to garage or driveway cleanup&#8230; but pushing through inside makes the most sense.  I  will need to do one dropoff and I&#8217;ll likely do one pickup too.  Kids will need rides earlier rather than later, so I need to be home to do that, which limits my excursion time too.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Spring, so Spring cleaning is appropriate.   It&#8217;ll make more room for stacking!<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool again, and probably clear.
