Got out of work a few hours early yesterday and put the time to good use: trip to the dump (I only go when my 30 gallon barrel is full, about every three months. I compost almost all organic material and recycle everything I can), trip to the recycling trailer, trip to the bottle redemption center, swept the kitchen, made dinner, and walked the dog (and took lots of photos at the same time). I meant to go to the laundromat and do the dishes, but by the time Bandit and I got back from our walk it was 7:45 and I'd run out of steam. I have all the laundry loaded in the car, so maybe I'll just stop by on my way home and get everything started and then go home and get the dog.
