Rainy Days and Mondays. . .

hm. It's not rainy. It's Arizona, for pete's sake. It's not Monday. In fact, despite a fervent wish by the subconscious and cupcake/fantastic brownie craving part of my brain that it be at *least* Friday (we have Saturday morning sweets at the Wicked Bakery), it is only Tuesday.

So! I must not be down!

I should have a mood or index rating on here. Today would be "meh". It's tax day, and although I filed mine back in February, I just mailed my $90 to the State of Arizona today. Why give it to them any sooner than I have to? I got back a little bit from Federal, and I'm really looking forward to my "Economic Stimulus" bonus check. At least Dubya's looking out for me, even if the State of Arizona's Unemployment Office won't.

Aside from it being the Ides of April? Not much else to report. It has started to get ungodly hot at ungodly hours of the mornining, and although it's only going to get worse, I've begun my "get all my stuff done outside before most people have left for work" tactic. I watered the lawn and pulled some weeds this morning. Took the dogs out for walks. Dropped off a movie at Blockbuster. By 11am, it was all indoor work; washed some dishes, put some laundry up, thought about what to make for dinner and what to pick up at the grocery. Researched how to help Delilah out with her flop-bottom issues, and then did something about it (Anal gland expression; not one of the more glamorous things about owning pets). In general, it's been a pretty bland day.

But, I did happen to see that some folks have looked at *and* commented on some of my photos, and for that I am very excited and very grateful! Thank you for taking the time to look and for the kind comments. :)
