My printer has been very crankie today, keeps getting paper jams. This happens about once a month, it’ll have a day where it jams with every 5th sheet. It’s a good thing I’m in a mellow mood today.
I’ve been in a mellow mood all week. I think it’s just contentment. I felt great after getting so much done with 13thhour.net this weekend, and things are just going good. I even finally broke my “I don’t feel like reading” streak, currently reading The Time Traveler’s Wife, which
Mostly it’s been an average week.
I got my hair cut on Monday, about 2.5 inches off. It’s nice and short again, I don’t need to put it up for it to be off my neck in the heat, it won’t take as long to blowdry, and won’t get tangled so much if I decide to drive with the windows down.
Mmm driving. I’m all used to driving the Rav4 now. It’s a nice little truck, but it does love to eat up the gas, especially when the air conditioning is on. OK, for what it is it doesn’t eat up the gas, but I’ve always driven cars, and they go for longer between gas station stops %) Not sure if we’ll go with another small SUV for our next car. We got the Rav4 because we wanted something we could bring big things home in, but more often than not we get things delivered anyway (like the dryer, since they took the old one too). And for driving in the mountains, but we don’t do that too much. Most importantly we got it because it handles well in the snow, but a nice AWD car could do that.
But we won’t be getting a new car until 2007 anyway, so I probably shouldn’t worry about it.
Work has been average. They have hot chocolate here at work, the little packets of Swiss Miss, it’s good, but not the best for me so I don’t like to drink it often. So the other morning I pulled out a packet of the No Sugar Added kind. I didn’t expect much, I am almost always disappointed and annoyed when I try any yummie thing that they try to make better for you. I was pleasantly surprised this time! It might taste slightly less chocolatey, but the normal stuff is pretty intense for just a small styrofoam coffee cup anyway. And this no sugar added stuff is not so bad for me, no worse than a coffee with loads of cream and sugar and caffeine.
The weather has been better. It rained Monday and Tuesday, today is slightly sunnier. They say it’s supposed to be hot again after this. This summer has been so hot and dry. I told Michael in mid July that we shouldn’t be all wimpy about the heat because the bad bit only lasts a couple weeks, but it’s been nearly a month now. Central air sounds better every day, maybe I should look into installation and energy costs. I know we’ve spent quite a bit just powering those silly window units this summer.
