After considerable effort, I have the recycling out for collection (one day late because of the snow).
I should have moved the bins forward last night, but misread the town's request to keep the bins clear of sidewalks and street until the snow stopped. I am not even trying to put the regular trash there for pickup Recycling was priority because trash collection is weekly and recycling is fortnightly, and they will take more regular trash than fits in the bin. And I am in dry clothes again, completely different from what I was wearing half an hour ago, even to the eyeglasses.
I needed the fresh dry clothes because, in the course of dragging the recycling bin around, I fell backwards into a snowbank. This is the second time I've fallen backwards while trying to get around with lots of snow on the ground in the Boston area, and both seem to have done no harm other than the cold.
And because it's 2020, I was out there shoveling while wearing a mask. (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
