Yadda Yadda Yadda

Partly cloudy, about 80 degrees but very humid -- we had a nice line of thunderstorms come through early this morning, with lots of thunder and lightning, and it's still very wet outside.

Paying bills, still drinking some coffee -- $166.11 for water and sewer, $249.00 for electricity. Gas bill hasn't come yet, although it's been going down lately. Last month it was $26.33. So have to go to post office and grocery store. Should also vacuum and wash kitchen floor, seeing as how it has muddy dog prints on it now. Heh.

Finished Day of Battle -- just excellent. Not much else at the moment.

$249 for electricity

Ah, yes. The summer air-conditioning bill strikes again.

Have just posted two more photos from my new neighborhood; finished Coffee #2; now must get cleaned up, dressed, be responsible. Bank accounts, grocery list, all that stuff.

Hello!!!

Z is napping, the Mr.'s lunch break is now over, and I'm enjoying one of my last summer-vacation days, yay! I think I'm going to spend this naptime writing fic, as there's so very much to read now that sga_bigbang is live, I need to ration it out. And I really want to get some fic finished!!

But first I must catch up with y'all fine people.

The other news here is that my home-office computer (the one of Many Restarts) has finally died. It won't boot. So, the Mr. today came home with a nicer-than-what-we-have Dell from the campus surplus sale. We have an old campus computer downstairs running as our server, and it's a solid little machine, so this new one should be just as stable, and it will be much quieter than what we had, and I'm rather excited as I'm currently behind on balancing the checking account because the home-office computer was dying. Heh. (Edited to add the best part: I get to feel all righteous for 'recycling' a not-perfectly-new computer rather than buying a new one, and the cool thing about campus surplus is that the Mr. got it for $50. Awesome!)

I've been baking challah and cleaning up my icons this morning; here's a new one for you, combining both. I might go out and buy myself a scone later after I mail a couple of packages.

One of my friends told me home ownership is indentured servitude to the house. I still want to buy one eventually.

A friend sent me a link you might find amusing: Pirates of the Colosseum? (http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN1447496020080814)
