Thursday: phone call

I made a phone call the other day about a problem I had with the NYSEG bill (power bill for the NY house). The problem was that there were three estimated readings in a row. Usually they do estimated/actual/estimated, but that didn't happen because of the flood. And because the house was vacant, the estimated values were too large. Normally it would just average out in the next bill, but since this should be our last bill it wouldn't average out.

So I called. The people on the other end understood the problem. They checked the meter. And I managed to save $140.

Score.

Wednesday: with age, comes wisdom

Flurry, six and a half years into her life, finally realized that getting into the cat carrier only leads to bad things. For the first time ever we had to "jam" her into it.

At the vet she got her distemper shot, so she should be happy for the next year.

When we got home she had another first: hiccups. I've never seen a cat with hiccups before. They were a lot less frequent than human hiccups, but they were repetitive just the same. Flurry did not seem thrilled.

Tuesday: hi

Hi.

Today was much better than yesterday. However, I had to get up early to have a meeting with people from 3rd shift, so I'm tired now.

I'm often tired. I'm going to blame some of it on getting dark earlier though, because I always get extra tired around that time. The rest we'll blame on Baby.

Monday: eyes

I wish my frustration wouldn't leak out of my eyes. It is so inconvenient.

If it insists on leaking out, I vote that it should leak out of my toes.

But, three cheers for blaming everything on being pregnant.

Sunday: drums

Today Ben played drums in church for the first time; I think he did awesome. However, it was a little weird because it was the first time since we've been dating that I wasn't there for the practice. Usually I just did random things during practice (sleep, homework, read), but it was always nice to listen to the songs ahead of time. But now we have two cars and church is close by, so there's no reason for me to go early.

It's a little sad, but not sad enough to get me out of bed two hours earlier than I need to.

Saturday: inside

Today ended up being an inside day. We had tentative plans to go out, but they didn't happen. Partially because it was very windy, and partially because I was exhausted about three hours after I woke up.

So I took a nap for most of the afternoon, and the wind did the raking for us. Win-win!

Friday: tired

I've been tired lately; it was a busy week.

Ben and I went and saw "Real Steel" tonight. It was good, but not great.
