One week until my birthday. My present has been ordered and will be here in the next couple of days. I got more stuff on my list done yesterday. I am down to three things. Two of which would be nice to get done but it won't be the end of the world if I don't. I was up early yesterday in order to get one thing on my list done. Recycling. While they have attempted to make it both financially worthwhile and convenient around here, there are still some issues. First, most places don't open their machines until 7am. By that time there's usually some homeless person already waiting with a full cart of stuff. Or, at the ones with large outdoor machines, there's just crazy homeless people hanging around and it's not a clean or fun place to go. I have found ONE that opens at 5 and keeps their homeless in check. The drawback is if you don't get there at 5, it's packed. They only have one machine of each type (glass, plastic, can) and you can wait forever. I got there at 5:05 yesterday and some guy was already ahead of me. Luckily he was just doing bottles and finished while I was doing cans. But him being there proves my point that you have to be totally on top of it. Regardless, I got it done, made $15 and spent it on groceries for dinner. Peppers.

Got back home and worked around the house on some other stuff. Adjusted my desk to make some more room. It's easier to work now. I went to a tattoo shop yesterday and made an appointment for the 16th. Getting some new ink. I have given up on the whole tattoos must have meaning thing. If I like it, fuck it. I am getting it. So in two weeks I am getting the 12th doctor's sonic screwdriver complete with UV ink so it will glow under blacklight. Why the fuck not?

We went somewhere else and I am blanking on where right now. Oh, the pot shop for B. She was out and need a new cartridge. I knew we went somewhere else. We also made a reservation for a trip to Salem. We are going next week to check out the area. Get away from all the tech in this area. Go somewhere different. Just two days, one night. Enough to get out of town but not enough to hurt us financially. I have to pay bills today and I am already stressing.

She made dinner, we watched some tv, I worked on one of my other list items (fixing my music library), and went to bed around 11. This morning btw I woke up without an alarm. I let my body get as much sleep as needed.

Now to pay bills. Whee.
