Well, I now have a completely selfish reason to dislike the war. :P We just got the gas bill for the past month, and it's almost twice the previous one, which according to my housemate was already high compared to last year. I called the gas company this morning and she said it's due to two things: 1. This winter is a lot colder than last one; and 2. the price of gas is up. Up a lot -- $0.30 since our last bill and that really adds up. It doesn't help me any though. I had plans for that money. :( Not that I won't make it back or anything, I can afford it. I just wasn't expecting to have to shell out $100 for gas this month when I only owed $56 last time, ya know? *sigh*

Funny how this week is going. It actually goes right along with the sermon I heard in church 2 1/2 weeks ago: seems like a lot of times, when something really good happens, it's followed immediately by something bad. And it's not like this week has been bad at all, just the opposite in fact. There are just a couple of little things going on, ya know? Like this job interview that I thought I was going to have on Friday... the company never contacted me again so that was a bit of a letdown. I was feeling like I might have been making actual progress toward getting a job, and now I feel like I'm not at all. And now this gas bill. Plus I'm going home tomorrow (yay!) but I can't leave when I wanted to because I'm stuck going to this stupid pointless meeting that I really don't want to go to. And I have a homework assignment due Monday that I haven't started yet. And I need to pack and clean and such but I have to spend tonight working on finishing up a project that should have been done 3 weeks ago. See? Little stupid stuff. I think it's all attached to my leg and it's dragging me off of cloud nine, which is where I've been residing for most of the week. *grabs blindly at the cloud and hangs on tight*

Blah. Just blah. On the bright side, it's sunny and 53 right now. So that's something. And I had breakfast, and did some homework this morning, so that's another something. And there's ham and cheese in the fridge so maybe I can make myself some lunch for once! :) And... tomorrow is Friday after all. And that really is something.

*shakes some of that weight off the leg and regains a steady perch on cloud nine*

*shoots spitwads at the people on cloud eight* :)
