    <content type="html">Posted by: &lt;span lj:user='sisterofbloomerjunior' style='white-space: nowrap;' class='ljuser'&gt;&lt;a href='https://sisterofbloomerjunior.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://sisterofbloomerjunior.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;sisterofbloomerjunior&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So cleaning- mostly the basement- has basically helped me find a heck of a lot of our tools and battery chargers.  The ones I can’t find either the parts for or no longer work have been disassembled and had the internal batteries removed.  (The county &lt;b&gt;does&lt;/b&gt; offer repair clinics, but those are usually too far away from me.). I’ll drop off the batteries and other hazardous waste at a collection happening in my neighborhood about two weeks from now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a donation table in the neighborhood for clothes and other items that I’ve been leaving items at pretty much all summer.  About the only items I’ve taken are a hockey book I haven’t read yet and a Chicago Bears daily calendar from 1990(? I haven’t seen it a while.  Maybe Mom tossed it?).  Most of the cleaning I’ve done in the garage so far has been sorting through tools and I haven’t done much in any other room since April.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve joined a challenge that runs throughout August to stop food waste in my county and two neighboring ones.  Depending on the weather, I’ll relocate some day lilies away from the air conditioner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=unclutter&amp;ditemid=239935" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
