Hope you're hanging in there brother!
My school is done and I'm updating after a self-imposed hiatus to concentrate on finals
I'll still be busy job hunting, but that's a different kind of busyness than doing finals.
But, I'm sure you know that.
Positive vibrations on finding a job! Gas prices seem to be creeping up again, so ... yay?
It's an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody some good.

Reminds me of a time back in the day. An armadillo had taken up residence under our house. So, one night my brother and I saw it out in the middle of the front half of the lawn, and decided to chase it. Thankfully, we did not catch it.
Later, my dad dumped mothballs down each of the holes it had dug under our slab. After we were sure it was gone, we filled in the holes.
Losers!
Along with this one....
You know, all those aliases I use to engage in passive-aggressive sock-puppetry.
Although, I'm pretty sure being able to hover the mouse over an alias name and see who it belongs to kind of defeats the idea of a sock puppet.
Not even sure why I made this one.

I also called the gas company about finally burying the hatch in my backyard that I'm fairly certain is an access point for one of their gas lines. At least, that's what I was told when we first looked at the house. Anyway, they're sending someone out to check it. If it is, I'll ask them to bury it. If it isn't, I'll look into burying it myself.
That will fix a large part of my armadillo problem. There's a few big gaps under the fence around where this access hatch is. That's how it's been getting in and out. Sure it could dig a new hole if we fill those spots in, but he might not feel like it.

Goddamnit! That f&%~ing spray I bought at Lowe's appears to not have worked worth a damn. I found a new area of rooted up grass this morning in the backyard. Just to be sure, I went ahead and sprayed more of it, in case I just hadn't put down enough.
It's all good, though. This was just Step 1 of my plan to end the armadillo menace. Step 2 is already in motion, and involves cutting off its currently easy access to my yard.
If all that fails, Step 3 would be to either capture and relocate, or kill and dispose of. I would prefer capture and relocate, of course.
I will happily take the armadillo off you.
If only because it might scare the deer.
I don't know I WANT him. But I'll happily accept you mailing him to me.
Well that's unfortunate...

Meh. I'm indifferent. My personal opinion is half the books they were putting out weren't worth a damn anyway. I'm weird stubborn when it comes to books, though. I prefer authors I'm more familiar with. Plus, I'd heard from others that some of the writers they've been using just suck balls.
Not to mention I've found it increasingly difficult over the years to get in the mood for sitting down to read. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Counting down until the end of the week. If I haven't found a job by Friday, I think we're going to go ahead and not sign the kids up for the summer program at the daycare. It'd just be a waste of money.
The downside of that would be making it more difficult for me, during the summer, to go on interviews and such. And if I manage to find something, I may not be able to start until they go back to school.
