today i became so fed up with the excess of empty tallboy cans piled near the door to our balcony that i decided to put them out with the recycling, forgoing a trip to the beer store to get money in exchange for them. while the actual return on these empties (maybe 75 of them at 10 cents a pop) wouldn't have been huge, the fact that i was willing to throw this profit away for nothing was a strong indication of just how much the mess was bothering me.
