Wednesday

Today went by quickly. It was nice. :)

This weekend I got a little webcam from Dad. It is supposed to be for a laptop and so doesn't work well with my computer yet, but it's been nice. It also takes movies. So I made one of Flurry. She did a really good job the first ten seconds, after that it gets boring.

Hmm, I tried to load it but it doesn't seem to like it for some reason. It isn't that long (about a minute) but maybe that is too long for this. I don't have any video editing software to chop off the last part though, so I guess we're out of luck this time. :(

Monday: oh, it's Monday again

Hmm. I always have so many thoughts of things that I want to say throughout the day and then proceed to forget them.

1. I wonder if my kids will read this and if they'll enjoy it. It would be fun to have them read entries when they're the same age I was when I wrote it. There might be some bleak years, but I've been journaling on and off since I think 8th grade. Maybe younger...my handwriting looks really bad in the first few journals.

2. I gave myself a raise this week by changing my tax deductions. It almost feels like cheating, but not really.

3. We got a quote from the second landscaper today. Luckily, his prices were about the same as the first ones. Unluckily, his prices were about the same.

4. It was rather warm here today. I almost walked up the hill for a meeting, but then decided it was too late.

5. Oh! I got some presents for saving money today. The first was a pen that also doubles as a laser pointer and a flashlight. The second is a digital tire pressure gauge. AND the digital tire pressure gauge has lights so you can take the pressure in the dark. Phew.

6. It's Nathan's Birthday! He had a fun blog post. Here he is many many years ago.

Saturday: thoughts

-Sometimes I which I had a camera following me around like the do in The Office. Sometimes I just want to give it a look.

-Flurry has taken to dipping her paw in her water bowl and then licking it. It seems incredibly inefficient, but looks very polite.

-In WoW, I wish the druid forms had something to distingush individual characters. I'm in a raid with three trees right now, and it gets confusing as to whether my spell went off or not.

-I hate short USB cords

-I wish I had the motivation to do some of the cleaning and picking up around here that really needs to be done.

Thursday

Today I got to go into work early because Ben was working from home. I like going in early because then I get to leave early. Well, I thought I wouldn't get to leave much earlier, because I was going to help someone out with something. But it got finished yesterday, so I was still able to leave early. :) So I took a wonderful nap.

Today and yesterday I got to work on making build instructions for a harness. It was actually a lot of fun, even though I think I take twice as long as I should. But I'm still learning.

We talked to a landscaper and saw his quote. Landscaping is expensive, but they seem to realize that and are willing to work with you so that's nice.

Wednesday: midweek

Today is an off raid day that I'm attending on Lydiac. The problem? We're going super slow because the raid leader is new at leading and sick.

The morning went slowly, I didn't have enough to do. I really need to figure this out earlier so I can get some work before I'm completely out and no one is around. I got some around noon, and the afternoon flew by.

I have dumb rock band songs in my head.

Tuesday: a bit grumpy

Well, I'm a little grumpy right now. ramble about that for a bit, decide I really don't want to talk about it and delete the whole paragraph. I'm still trying to decide if I'm justified in my grumpiness.

My lower eyelid is also dry, which is itchy.

However, it snowed today. It was beautiful.

Today I also pondered what would happen if, say, Iowans decided they felt oppressed and wanted to cede from the Union. Then I wondered if the response would be different if Hawaii wanted to cede. I feel as though if we have a democracy and that if they want to leave they should be able to. I'm also wondering if cede is the right verb or if I should have been using succede. Or however it's spelled.
