I couldn't find the dowel pins.

I started going through everything in the area, moving it into the driveway, and kept going because I wanted to at least try to clean the floor where I tried to drain stuff with dirty oil on it and then those things fell.

I put down soap, scrubbed it, and then it dried and I didn't touch it again--until yesterday!

I spent all day emptying the garage and still had junk against every wall, but the center area was clear--and almost everything touching the ground was plastic, so I hosed it out with the 4" Harbor Freight nozzle. It shoots 30' and seems to have a high pressure, but it didn't seem to do much to dried soap--or the stains.

I quickly scrubbed everything and that didn't do much, either, but I scraped it with a chisel and most of the soap came up, although there are still white marks on the concrete, so at some point I still need to rent a pressure washer, although I am unsure there is a point unless I am moving out.

I could only sleep 5 hours, couldn't get back to sleep, and tried to think of the most important thing to do this morning.

Order new dowel pins!

Amazon says they will have some here on Saturday, although I forgot to check my work table in the garage first.

The problem is that Mom is always telling my brother to put things in the garage and he either puts them right inside the door or on that table, so it could take an hour to clear off Mom's junk and look through my stuff.

Is there a point now?

I just asked if my day program client is available. I forget what drama came up this week. Staying up all night to write a report Mom didn't use?

I need to do more paperwork for my brother. Mom has a large envelope filled with papers that I am supposed to complete with my computer, but it is a small stack of papers.

Why would I use my computer if they are physical pages?
