As time went on, looking at the debris-littered neighborhood started wearing and getting depressing. The neighbors and I had taken to looking at the county GIS map to see if judging by tons collected around us, the claw was getting any closer. So it was with great excitement I welcomed the sight of it. However, it did the block next to us and didn&#8217;t pick our stuff up quite yet. Which was ok, because in fact, I wasn&#8217;t done yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had noticed I wasn&#8217;t getting exercise credit on my watch for hauling branches and debris to the curb, so I started turning on the &#8220;outdoor walk&#8221; setting. I was walking approximately 3 miles a morning, making worn paths from my piles around the yard to the driveway and out to the street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I did my &#8220;morning job&#8221; before noon, scoring my exercise points, then I showered and did my &#8220;afternoon job&#8221; (my actual work job). This was a lather, rinse repeat pattern for months after the hurricane as I raced to get things back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1859 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.misschatter.com\/vancamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/153037_26.9680_-82.0415_IMG_2648.jpg' data-lightbox=\"gal[1859]\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misschatter.com\/vancamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/153037_26.9680_-82.0415_IMG_2648.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.misschatter.com\/vancamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/153037_26.9680_-82.0415_IMG_2648.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.misschatter.com\/vancamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/153037_26.9680_-82.0415_IMG_2648-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.misschatter.com\/vancamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/153037_26.9680_-82.0415_IMG_2648-195x260.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Said in the awed voice of the toys in Toy Story) Initially, I was worried the claw would arrive before I was ready and had everything on the curb.
