…and into the fridge?

After having a weekend where the temperatures were up into the 90’s, the high tomorrow will be in the mid-60’s. A welcome respite from the heat, but I could have used that when I was mowing the lawn yesterday. Gahh.

Nice that things are easing up a bit at work this week. Still plenty of stuff to be done, but within a more sane timeframe, thank heavens. I’ll be working on three different projects this week, including one that’s waaay behind (hey, they were working on it for a year and a half before handing it off to me, and they don’t have a customer for the product yet – they can wait.)

Got my federal tax refund deposited into my checking account on Friday – that was worth a several-thousand dollar boost. Pity it’s all going to Visa (and not making as much of a dent as I’d like). Fortunately, next month is also the first month this year where I get three paychecks (the joys of getting paid every two weeks – 26 checks per year when you only have to pay bills 24 times per year), so that’s even more money going into the Big Plastic Sinkhole. But what the heck, I was able to splurge a bit with my state tax refund and buy Takaza and I each one of these, which makes working out much, much nicer. Right now I’m listening to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban at a rate of a chapter per day as I walk on the treadmill – it really makes the time fly by. Plus, it’s fun to lift weights with a good jig or reel playing in the background. I’m going to start mining MP3.com for new and interesting music. My latest addition: an interesting set of Eurodance stuff. Not what I typically listen to, but the driving beat will be good when I’m on the recumbent bike.

That’s about it for now. Hmm…note to self (and someone else): need to see what plans are for New Year’s Eve this year…
