Sleep, Exercise, & Garbage Trucks

I feel like a slug, which is similar or the same as a snail without a shell. In other words, I feel slow, clumsy, and weak. I still have not fully recovered from my 2 weeks of being ill. I had planned on trying to do some jogging early this morning, which would have been the first exercise I would have gotten since being sick, but I had a bad night of sleep. There were 2 reasons for my lack of sleep. The first was my fault. I did not get my auctions for books listed on ebay as early as I should have, and so I went to bed very late. The second reason was because of the very loud garbage (collection) trucks. My garbage and recyclables (anything that can be recycled) are picked up on Monday morning. VERY VERY early on Monday morning. The first truck comes to pick up the garbage between 5:00 and 5:30 am. The truck that picks up the recyclables comes anywhere from 6:30 to 7:30 am. All the trucks sound like they have small jet engines and really really squeaky brakes. Why is it only in the movies that garbage trucks come during the day? I have never lived anywhere where they did not come very early in the morning. Is there some kind of rule or law that says that garbage cannot be picked up unless you are sleeping? Ok, enough complaining. Tomorrow is another day, and I will try jogging again.
I did get a lot accomplished today. I packaged and put 3 books in the mail, drove to Groton and bought Edgar some bird feed, stopped at Walmart for gentle liquid soap, picked up eye drops at Walgreens, and I got my haircut. I decided to be adventurous, and I got a Mohawk. A Mohawk haircut leaves a strip of hair right up the middle from front to back, and the sides are completely shaved. Looks pretty interesting. I'd post a picture, but I don't want to scare you. Some of you will see it soon enough. So, get lots of sleep, plenty of exercise, and if you can get a job as a garbage collector, not only will you make lots of money, but you also get to wake everybody up.
Be well! Enjoy life! And of course, stay out of trouble...
