Light Day

.

Motovating factor clearing up some space, I finally made it to recycling today. I only get there a few times per year. Between the hall, backroom, n the shed, I filled up the whole truck back with bags of cluncky plastic bottles, tin cans, cardboard, n glass bottles. .

Most folks get curbside town service, but here I'd have to pay a private company. So I wash n save the stuff, n when it starts falling all over the place, I give up sleep hours to deliver it during the three hours, twice per week time slice the Recycle Center is open.

.

The weather report had informed me Day Off was expected to be partly sunny, so timing was good for Party Sunny too! After only a couple hours of shut-eye, I managed to get up n move it in time. I ran store errands, made it to the post office, n then I went on a walk around the village n front beach to get more light in.

.

The sky was hazy with high clouds, some blue visible in places. There was some sunshine getting thru tho. I spied alot of these nifty, large, Cherry-tomato-like berries on the bluffs. I wonder if they're toxic? I wasn't tempted to eat them, but took pics. (Hope little kids don't)

.

I got home with a few hours of daylight left to the afternoon. After putting away my store goods, I went out to clear more leaves off the deck with Mischief. After seeing another kitty out in the yard, she was really good, staying upstairs instead of starting a fight. The nieghbors were out, n I raked part the yard, even tho leaves were still a bit soggy.

.

There was alot of trash in the woods directly across the road. Bottles n cups were over there, then I found a huge pair of sopping wet, high-top black boots! Yikes, the dumping gets me angry... It's like trying to sweep the waves back into the ocean picking up that stuff.

.

Which reminds me I recently saw a DVD "Home" with awesome, arial Earth pics in it- anyone else watch it? It makes you think about water a whole new way. (Sorry Paige, I wasn't referring to your recent happenings, tho it sure seems like it!) Wish I could stop folks from messing up the environment, basically. Al Gore was just on SNL again with a Green-Week message I totally agree with...

.

This week I finally watched the new "Star Trek" movie, n think it's really good on many levels. I'm not a hard core Trekkie, but have been watching the different series n the movies too, ever since I was a child. I love Sci-Fi, but I hope living in space is never better than living on Earth!

.

Before daylight was even over, I did more work on the backroom. Still have to do window-frame painting before moving everything so I can Paint the last fourth of the room. It was still warm enough, here at the end of November in New England, to open the windows! (This is a freak happenstance).

.

It's also unusual that I'm able to get up n function all day without enough sleep, n enjoy the daylight. TG it's Day Off so I don't have to work tonight- cause now I'm really feeling pooped!

Now, back to the relaxing portion of Day Off...
