thursday march 6

today i came downstairs in the evening and noticed that one of my roommates had put the recycling by the front entrance, ready to take outside and put to the street for friday morning's pickup. taking the compost and garbage or recycling out to the street has evolved into one of those chores i do most of the time, but it occurred to me as i looked at the recycling bag that i hadn't done it in three weeks. the only reason i wouldn't do it is if i didn't leave the house at all during the evening, so that meant i hadn't left the house even once for three consecutive thursdays. pretty sobering realization about the state of my social life these days.
