The day began cloudy and ended with bright blue skies -- the opposite of days for the past few weeks. The wind felt cool when I headed to the mail box in early evening.
The big event of the day was putting gasoline in the car. I chose not to fill the tank, but to put a specific dollar amount in instead. It felt very surreal to see the sign noting the price -- 199.7/L ($5.90US/gallon). Out of this world! I calculated this by converting litres to US gallons and then converting Canadian dollars to US dollars using the exchange rate for today. I expect there will be less travel for fun over the summer.
In the evening I carried out ten boxes and four large bags of donated things for pick up tomorrow by Diabetes Canada. The porch looks crowded tonight <smile>, but I ensured that I could still get out the door and down the stairs in an emergency. There will be more items to go out next month. Clearing through boxes and shelves brings some positive feelings.
The song chosen today speaks to the feelings of surprise at the things I have found in the boxes in my basement. The lyrics also refer to donating items -- though the broken things go into the garbage as I've been sorting through things. Just need to unload some of this stuff to begin to feel a little lighter <smile>. Keep safe. Enjoy!
