Reduce, recycle, reuse

I got up early today so I could be sure to have showered prior to Jim's arrival at my house. He came this morning and started work on my master bathroom- certainly an arduous task. The walls are all smooth and flat, now- a far cry from their bumpy, uneven prior selves. I believe tomorrow, he will texture and paint them, and probably move on to the front bathroom. It only needs the texture and the paint.

I can do a lot of things myself, but these two critical rooms called for an expert. I am so glad he is so very talented. 

In the morning, I was called upon to help Holly retrieve her car from the repair shop so she could get to the hospital and see her babies. The darn thing was locking her inside, and her locking mechanism required some work. It wouldn't do to crawl out of her vehicle by hopping the door with the top down- especially so soon after a C-section. 

Later in the afternoon, I headed to Best Buy with a carload of old electronics. They took the larger things off of my hands for recycling. It was a total of three printers, a VCR, a small TV, a broken hard drive and a screwed up stereo. 

It's good to responsibly dispose of this crap and get it all out of my house before I had to pay someone to move it for me. 

On the way there, I met up with Cas for a glass of iced tea and a discussion about homeowners insurance. After I left the Best Buy with a lighter vehicle, I was in errand mode. I went to the bank and the grocery store. My favorite guy at the store? The one who ran to the express lane at a half jog with only a case of beer in his cart. Classy, pal. Really classy. 

He seemed aggravated that other people wanted to buy food. I am glad I was behind him and not ahead of him. The man had places to be...

When I got back to the house, Jim had left for the day. Job well done, sir. I'll post pics when it's finished, I'm sure. I have more to do myself this evening. I'm just glad I was able to recycle my old electronics today. One less thing to worry about, really. Actually, seven less things...
