I have put all my old lights into a big box for disposal as I am determined to get LEDs for next year. My outside lights this year were LED but I need tree lights and maybe some icicles for next year. Lowe's has them 75% off so I'll get some tomorrow. Right now the county recycling center is getting the old ones unless I find someone that wants them. I have a seriously large quantity that need to go. (It is absurdly difficult for me to toss things that work but I am forcing myself to do so)
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
They actually accept Xmas lights for recycling?!
I am so the child of Depression-era kids, have huge troubles throwing anything out that could theoretically somehow be repaired.

Here we have to take the lights to one of 7 county drop stations, the same places where you take junk computers.
eta: they apparently crush them and separate out the metal and glass and plastic for recycling

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I spent my day at two open houses, both of which had excellent food (bagels and lox at one, black-eyed peas, fresh waffles and so many other delicious things at the other), so that seems like a good way to start the year.
Actually, one of the delicious things was a dip that is apparently just roasted cauliflower with a little tahini and it was SO DELICIOUS. I think I mostly want to eat cauliflower right now, after that and some frozen tempura cauliflower I had the other day. It's the new broccoli!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Laura, if they're functional a local theatre might take them. Incandescent always works best for the stage.

I did at least have some leftover lechon and congri that my friend made for last nights party, which was good. I'm surprised none of my friends had a New Years brunch! Oh well. It's been a slow chill day. So be it.
