after the weekend, but before the next one
Monday, Jul. 18, 2005
I shouldn't really complain, but I'm gonna.
It's cold again. Like it never was before.
The weekend was slow, but then at least I wasn't working.
Well that's a lie, I did some desktop publishing on a newsletter that I look after for a club I am in. Geez am I talented or what?
Saturday I woke up with .....
wait for it
a fucking thumper of a headache. Not appreciated thank you very much.
I dosed up on some soft-core pain killers (the type you can buy over the counter) and headed out to take my car to its appointment to have the hands free kit installed. Had to wander around for an hour and a half through homemaker paradise while it was being done. Much inspiration, especially in the electrical superstore and the hardware mega warehouse. Mind you, not a dollar spent. Mainly because I was on foot and that would have meant carrying any purchases a couple of kilometres back to the car. I am such a pussy.
Said hands free kit is now installed, be it shoddily, which meant having to take a trip into work on Sunday to use the correct screws that should have been used in the first place. It looks much better now, the only reason I didn't do the whole job myself in the first place is that the car is still under warranty, and I hate breaking bits of plastic. Especially bits I have never pulled apart before.
Sunday morning I awoke to marvelous sunshine, so I thought it would be wise to wash the car. Much to my initial surprise it was sunny alright, but fucking cold. wet hands and toes are not nice in sub 10 degrees Celsius. Mind you, the car looks sensational for an hour or so effort. The road grime and dust from 3 weeks of rain, spray and wild weather made the green machine look a tad shabby.
Might I add that this morning was even colder and was a shade under 2 degrees Celsius in the city (35F). Not nice folks!
Had a quote done on the exhaust system for the ute, a hefty $1200 will set me up with a sweet sounding burbling tail pipe. It's only a V6 after all..
Excuse me, just had to let Oscar's furry little butt inside as it was freezing to the outdoor setting he was sitting on outside. Picture this.... he was just rolling around on the bed and rolled straight off. Thump! landed on the floor, shook himself off and hopped back on again. He the proceeded to start chewing and tearing the old blanket that is spread on top of the bed. Little bugger!
Anyway, need to chat and feel the love again people. Got an IM from a friend in Atlanta today that I haven't spoken to in like.... months. Need to chat more, but then again these cold nights and mornings, the comfort of a warm bed and a sleep in is just too welcoming. Can you blame me? Say hi, leave a comment without the need to make a DNA deposit, I come and fetch those personally :)
Later folks
