thursday march 12

today i finally worked my way through my to-do list for the day, crossing the day’s final essential task off the list at around 10:30pm. with some relief, i got ready to relax, briefly considering whether i’d left anything important off the list. at this moment, i abruptly realized that i’d forgotten to put my garbage and compost out to the street, and quickly packed them up and took them out front. while the garbage had yet to be picked up, the compost collector was literally about 10 doors down, probably having passed my house within the last 10-15 minutes. thanks a lot, to-do list.
