It is, as I've said, hot as balls. It's 75F today. Was 80F or so over the day. We spent it out of the house and in stores, taking advantage of air conditioning because the central air here needs to be fixed. We have three fans upstairs, and one downstairs for the rats (since it's a bit cooler down there, I moved all the beasties so they don't, y'know, die).
I need to buy some citronella things for the balcony. The mosquitos are starting to come in the house (the screen on the balcony door needs replaced) and they're annoying.
Work is going well. I'm getting used to things there. Slowly but surely.
We house-sat at Rob's last night. That was nice. TJ almost hit a deer on the way home after taking me to work, apparently. D: She didn't however, and all was well.
I'm thinking about taking a nap, therefore fucking up my sleep schedule. But I've only gotten three hours of sleep today, so I'm going to crash out eventually.
I scored some $1.50 clearance Prismacolor markers from Pat Catan's today. A few colors I've been needing. Greys and Blues, thankfully. They raised the regular prices of Prisma markers to $2.87. Almost a dollar up from when I bought them a year ago, but ah well. They haven't topped $3 yet, so I'm happy. We also got a small soldering rod, so I can work on [SEEKRIT PROJECT]. That should be fun.
We also got a wading pool from the Easter Seals sale. It's, like, 8'x18". Only a foot and a half deep, but it'll be nice to fill up and sit in to cool off. And we can put a few inches of water in it and let the rats get wet. I'm sure they'll hate it. They all hate water.
I downloaded new music to listen to. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Sia, Fleet Foxes, Jem, The Beatles, Dire Straits and Aqua. Yeeey.
I got four pairs of cargo khakis from Walmart the other night for $1 each. This was pretty much awesome because they fit really nice (they're guy pants, too!) and, well, they were only $1. Yaaay clearance. :D :D
