Is it bedtime yet?

Just to let you know, it is currently only about 6:45 p.m. and I'm tired! Its also Wednesday, that means its TRASH day. So, I get home from work and I really want to take a nap... But, those cat boxes aren't going to change themselves, and the roomie can't help today. (a reminder for those who missed it, she had surgery on Monday and is off heavy lifting for a couple of weeks) However, I can only lift a couple of boxes in a bag by myself, so I know its going to take a bit longer than normal, especially since she's asleep, that means I'm going to have to do everything, even the light stuff. So, I gather up what I need and make an "executive" decision. One trash can had some trash in it already, and I have 9 boxes to change, so that's the one that's going to get the odd box and everything else (sweeping up stuff and the like.) So, I do 4 boxes (that's 2 kitchen trash sized cans worth) and roll them outside and lift them into the trash can. I come back in, set one aside for my bedroom and pull out the stuff I need to finish off the trash. I empty the last 2 boxes and then de-lump the box I had put litter in to tide the cats over until the boxes were all done. I finish sweeping up the mess and put the now fresh litter boxes down and go do the odd one for the sick cats. I also go and sweep my room and then I can roll the cart out again with these next 2 cans of trash. Finally, I get the last ones done and collect all the rest of the household trash so I can take the dumper down to the street. Meanwhile, even tho the other roommate had taken the recycling down to the street, I had both my client's recycling and I also found another half dozen cans and stuff to go out as well (and another can that we produced with dinner.) I was done before 4, but then had to sit down and rest. The mail man came with a check in the mail so I decided I had enough (with the other roommate's rent check and a check for part of what I was owed from someone else) to make a run to the bank. Then - THEN I wanted to wash my car. I have to say, that dark blue really shows the dirt! and I guess I need to come up with a whisk broom to dust out dirt and cat litter from the car... I finally get home, and I've had my dinner, but I'm just beat! But I KNOW its too early to go to bed! Unless I want to be up at 2 a.m. So, I'll try to stay up till 10, but I'm not sure my brain is up to responding to discussions. You ever feel that way?
