Once it warms up another 5º in here so I can take my robe off, I’ll get to work changing and washing out the rat’s cage, and then cleaning the bathroom as well. It’s been how it usually is living here in a trailer in May – nice in the afternoons, cold in the early mornings.

Tom’s picking up the mail now. He’s hopeful that the flower GC will be there, but if sweeping is still what it used to be at least in some ways, then it won’t be that quick and easy. I’m sure I’ll have to work at it a bit as far as getting them to send my prizes to me.

Tom’s back now. I was right. No GC. But the wins are getting bigger! I won a Compound Miter Saw with Laser Trac and other fancy features valued at $225!!! The sucky thing is that we’ve got to pay $30 in notarization fees since they sent 3 separate forms that needed to be notarized – an eligibility affidavit, a release of liability, and permission to publish our names on their site. Why couldn’t they do this all on one sheet of paper? Either way, the profits should be worth it after we sell it on Craigslist and I’m now over $300 in wins since I started back up with the sweeping. My 3-months subscription expires on his birthday – June 28th – and I’d say that yeah, it’ll be worth renewing the subscription. Assuming we’re still as broke then as we are now, we may not renew for a year at $30, but do another 3 months at $12.50 instead.

Tom has a job interview tomorrow at 3:00, but I know better than to get my hopes up. Today still turned out to be a pretty good day. :)

I just wish I heard from Nane more often! But I think it’s safe to say that if I’ve never heard much from her as of yet, I never will. This is someone with obviously no plans of slowing down anytime soon, not that I think having more time on her hands would make her want to contact me more often anyway. :(

Even though it’s not until tomorrow, I sent a message wishing Maliheh a happy 54th birthday. This was because I might not get the message to her till the afternoon her time and wouldn’t want her to think I forgot about her.
