almost

 We had a lot of recycling today

`I recycle almost anything.  Plastic. Paper. Glass. Cans.  Aluminum.  Cardboard. Plastic bags.

    The bags go to a store, and the aluminum goes to a school, but everything else goes in the recycling bins.

    I turned off the alarm this morning.  I got up late and was afraid I missed this week's pickup.  But I dragged out the 2 bins and a huge carton of cardboard anyway.

    We had a doctor's appointment in DeKalb at 1 so we had to leave at about 12.  Recycling guy usually comes a little before 10, which was about the time I dragged the stuff out.

    Luckily, he was late and all my recyclables that could be taken were picked up.

    I always wonder if they do recycle the stuff.  I hear people say they don't, it just goes to a landfill and gets dumped.  I asked the people at the disposal service and they assured me it does go to a recycling facility.  I guess I believe them.

    I could take it out the night before, but if it gets windy my stuff could just blow around, like it has before.  So I wait. And wait.  And wait.

    I guess I need to get up earlier on recycling day!

    Of course we never just do 1 thing in DeKalb..  I stopped at the vet for a couple of things, went to a grocery store, dropped some tattered sheets off at Tails for use in their birthing rooms, and got a coffee.  All this after Jackie's appointment.

    Our tree is up and fluffed.  Lights are on and tomorrow we should be able to put ornaments on the tree.

    I had to go buy lights for the bushes outside.  I was a bit surprised when I opened a light box I thought was for the tree only got find several rolls of outdoor lights..... probably enough to do most of the bushes.  Maybe I should label things.

    I may be ahead of the game though.  If the tariffs go through, those $3 lights will cost $6 next year.  I just could be ahead of the game.

    That would be a first.

Peace and Love
