Busy Monday

I escaped to Starbucks for caffeine and work as soon as the kids had run out most of their morning energy. There I lamented with the staff about the fact that Starbucks in Las Cruces DOES NOT RECYCLE! It was frustrating to see all of the dozens and dozens and dozens of empty cardboard boxes lying around the store from where they had been unpacking all of their Xmas products. So I loaded all the empty boxes into my car and took them to recycling. More on this story later. I also took two boxes of stuff to a local thrift store and seven books to COAS for credit. Ended up buying one book there - The GenX Reader - An underground look at the twentysomething generation - Explained by those on the inside and dissected by those on the out. I was 20-something when the book was published in 1994 so it is relevant. I also went to Better Life Natural Pet Food Store and bought a vitamin and mineral supplement to give to Bodhi which will hopefully get him less interested in eating dog poop. And I went to Primetime Fitness and renewed my gym membership.

More Later

That was at 2 p.m. and now it is just past 10 p.m. I met Ed for lunch and then took the dogs for a 50-min romp in the desert and then went out to do laundry and then called Mom. Since then have been wasting time and now am going to bed.

I want soon to call Dave and donate blood and get a local public library card. Tomorrow/Tuesday there is a SWEC lunch to meet potential new board members.
