Bluefly has saved our cable! I’m surprised, too. I didn’t think they’d pay up till later in the week, though they did catch the extra $100 they gave me and took it back. So another group of problems bites the dust. I just hope that the next time we have a problem it won’t spawn another, which spawns another, then another…

So I guess we’re still on for Friday’s shopping spree. We’re also on for making a run to the store after he gets off work. Hope Liz is there!

Looks like the compensation is over too, because I won a 1/3-carat diamond worth $600-$800! If we could get half that for it, that’d be great. Now all I have to do is hope the check gets here soon and that Tom’s sinuses get better. What’s strange, though, is that they didn’t mention affidavits or notaries in the email notification. They just asked for my details, saying they’d get my prize out to me soon. I would think a prize like this would mean a lot more work on my part than just providing my name and address.

Yesterday was day two of the brush-burning, so who knows how many more days we’ve got left of this shit, which I assume they’ll do again in the spring.

The weather’s been incredible. Around 60º. The heater hasn’t needed to run during most of yesterday and it looks like it’ll be that way today, too.
