Man, this has been one heck of a summer. I can’t believe school has already been in session for a week and two days…I can’t believe that it’s almost September…I can’t believe that it doesn’t feel like I’m hoping into my oven when I step outside at night. Where did the summer go?

We’re working on hiring someone to come out and trim trees, cactus and some bushes as well as deal with the dead flower pods gathered inside the cactus in the front and side yards. I guess we could do it ourselves, but its cheap enough to hire someone to come do it, so we’re going to do that instead. 

After almost a month of not feeling real great, I finally got an appointment to see my Dr. and went in on Tuesday. They ran a bunch of tests and they weren’t overjoyed with the results, so they asked me to come back in for some more comprehensive tests, which I did yesterday morning. Hopefully I’ll have the answers by tomorrow evening, but I’m not holding my breath. What’s most ironic about all of this is, in all my ‘crappiness’ feeling, I didn’t realize I was running a pretty decently high fever all day long. When they were triaging me for my visit on Tuesday it was 103.something - and since then, it’s been averaging 101.something all day, ever day. No wonder I’m so freakin tired all the time! 

Good times.

At any rate, I have another appointment today, so we’ll see what happens. 

So far, the first week of school has been uneventful - Jerrett has been doing well on his new ‘plan’ of earning his PC/Gaming time. He’s been keeping his room semi-picked-up (read, not stinking filthy) and he’s been a superstar when it comes to doing the dishwasher. 

In other news, I purchased a Refurbed Series 3 HD TiVo DVR the other week and I got it all hooked up and it worked fine…then suddenly, it didn’t work fine. And in the ultimate customer service stupidity, they required me to buy a new one and ship this old one to them for a refund (10-14 business days after they get it) - meanwhile, we’re TiVo-less - which really is the suck. The good news is, they are paying for the shipping of the return unit - the REALLY good news is, they gave me a smoking hot deal on the new unit (brand new, I didn’t go refurb this time). 

Anyway, that’s all the news you’re getting from me! It’s 7:02 AM here in the Desert and I need to get ready to go to work. 

Have a super-fantastic day everyone.
