Today: threw out a bunch of miscellany that had been gathering in a "could this still be useful to anyone" pile, with the conclusion that the answer was "no". Cracked plastic drinking glasses. Very heavily used plastic sippy cups. Penzeys bumper stickers. Folding plastic boxes that had come with a set of socks, if you wanted to give the socks as gifts rolled up like cupcakes in these boxes, but we hadn't, we just wanted to wear the socks. The Penzeys pins are getting thrown in a Goodwill bag because I just can't put them straight in the trash, even if Goodwill will. I didn't really think about swag in my taxonomy of stuff, but I guess it's a kind of gift (and clearly Endobaria, internally pressured, rather than Ectobaria). Some company went to all the trouble to create these items, so if they've never been used, that implies some sort of potential use that has not been actualized, except that the actual use has already happened in the act of the transfer from company to customer and now they are in fact useless.
Yesterday: uh, water, from my basement, I guess? (It wasn't bad at all, just seeping in spots, much less so than the last time and nowhere near the crisis of the first time it flooded, but still. And J had to do more than his fair share of the wetvaccing because I also sprained my ankle yesterday and was trying to not do too many stairs.)
