I cannot sleep. I don't know why.
Last week I saw the first of the blooming mountain laurels. I look forward to them almost as much as I look forward to the bluebonnets- and I saw the first of those on the way to work (grr) this morning. Another reason why it's a good thing I'm not a parent- I would stick my baby in the bluebonnets, take a skillion pictures, and inflict them on everyone, including you. It's so cliché but there it is. It's a good thing I can't make the cats sit in them, because I would, forsooth! I heart bluebonnets.
The other night at the Full Moon, there was a stunning ring around it.
Okay, so this morning hub and I are idly chatting. We talk about things we think we should have, and I said 'I should have $700.' I pulled this number out of my ass, briefly thinking that between the statue, the chalice, and a couple of other sparklies I'd like that'd cover it all. So this evening I check my bank balance, and there has been an unexpected deposit for a little over $700 from work. Now, I am due the money for the extra time I worked in January this month, but that doesn't usually come until at least mid-month, and was going to be around $200. I was expecting another $500 for February's work in mid-April, so I suppose it's possible the State in a completely uncharacteristic fit of efficiency managed to get both months' pay out a month and a half ahead of schedule. I'm holding my breath hoping they don't ask for it back, and I'm not going to go spending it yet until I see some sort of paystub (and they usually get those to me before the money shows up) but even so... that's a pretty neat surprise.
