Gotta love STL weather, we were over 25° yesterday I think, now its just 4, yay. Almost time to go back to the book mines, going to be tech interesting today as I have to key in books so I'll be setting up a keyboard, tablet, hub and power bank to run things, hopefully I won't need to break out a power supply as the cord'll wind up being a trip hazard. Thinking of taking most if not all of the week off for this, because when I finish with this app and get the books packed for shipping, I'm going to turn around and go through with another app, and then another app, and then finally take the remains to Half Price Books. We'll need to hit Menards for boxes, I think 10 small moving boxes should work…
Anyone know of any charities that pick up clothes out here? I had an appointment with the one company most charities use out here on Fri and they didn't bother to show up, so now I'm looking for an alternative.

Bradford pears are everywhere and spread like malaria. There is no way to get rid of them short of issuing a flame thrower to every resident of the state - or nuking the state from orbit.

8 native St. Louis trees to plant instead of stinky, invasive Callery pears

Again this year, if Missourians remove a Callery pear from their yards or land, they can get a free native tree while supplies last. Registration ends on April 16.

Biked across the Chain of Rocks Bridge from north St. Louis across to Chouteau / Gabaret Island, then biked down to the southern tip. Pretty neat view from there, and a decent amount of bird action along the river. 16 miles round-trip.

Ugh, yesterday was a long day so I wound up sleeping in 45 minutes this morn, which means I'm not catching up on the internet, too tired for it last night, not enough time this morn.
Lets see how today goes, work's been getting mad busy, thankfully the volume is stuff I can fit in my car, seems the delivery company managed to become Ulta's primary shipper, and most of their stuff is small. It does however mean that I'm now frequently moving 80 to 100 packages, so longer days.
Weather is crazy, Sunday afternoon was short sleeve weather when me and the roomie went grocery shop, by that night it was tornadoes, and next morning was temperatures in the teens, yesterday was low thirties and feels like never hit thirties. Today? High is in the low sixties. ?!¿¡
Tomorrow'll be my last day this week, Friday getting donations out for charity, husband's clothes plus six totes of clothes from back in my storage unit flipping days, at least I'll get something out of here. Saturday I'll be selling at the Sunset Hills flea market in their community center. At some point I have to get the car serviced, and prolly need to replace the tires too, really need more days in the week for everything.

Tenía una caja llena de piezas impresas fallidas... y pensé:
“esto lo reciclo fijo 😏”
Spoiler: la realidad no fue exactamente así 🤭
He probado a reutilizarlas en casa y cuento qué pasa.
¿Tú también acumulas piezas fallidas?

So, about today…
Lets see, its -6°C at the moment, but feels like -14 and they just revised the temperatures down to a high of -3. Thank goodness I just need to be at the chiropractor in an hour, then pick up a cup of coffee (St Louis Bread ain't great coffee, but its free coffee), and come home, no more out for today. Today is my first four week chiro visit, they've been three week visits since I hurt m'self, and the next one will be in four, but after that we might go six and see how things go, these visits are basically a permanent thing.
Lets see how many spoons I have left after taking care of more estate matters, gotta call two investment banks and depending on how things go, might have to tell the lawyer to unfile the probate matter and refile as a large estate, which is a double edged sword, more money for me, but instead of 2-3 months, this can take a year or more to resolve. Should do some cleaning, but… Ehhh, we'll see.
Yesterday wasn't much, grocery shopping and household finances done. Oh, slightly broke the DBA registry for Missouri by trying to register ★General★ Delivery, while the stars didn't throw an error, they did get replaced by question marks as the system has no idea how to handle that.
Tomorrow will be work of course, thankfully it should be around 5 to 10 degrees warmer than today, but not sure about the wind, I think that'll less so the feels like'll be sane. Unfortunately work won't, Friday they were already making noises about it being so busy they need all drivers. Oh well, long day for me, and I'll be able to do an early start on Wed as they'll likely have routes that never went out.
