I feel like I'm getting away with something...

So the payoff to the whole daylight-savings, tired at work, hungry at the wrong times, couldn't fall asleep last night even though I was really tired and tried to go early so I'd get my full 8 hours thing is - leaving work when it's still super light out!!!

I totally felt like I'd escaped early or something, and had to remind myself that just because it was light like it was 4 in the afternoon, it did not mean that several local places I might want to go check out were actually open - they were in fact closed as it was already 5:30pm. But wow. It felt pretty awesome. Like I had a day left ahead of me to DO stuff, especially cuz I already did my swimming in the morning. Whoo-hoo! I mean, here it is almost 7:30 and there's pretty pink sunset clouds out out the west window still! Thank goodness!

In other good news, I finally got my external hard drive, which means I now have plenty of space on my laptop for recording songs and adding new pictures and the like. Stuff I've had to put off for a while. Although I still need to figure out what I want to put back ON my laptop. For example ALL my music is currently on the hard drive, which means I have nothing to listen to over here in the other room where I am not currently connected to the hard drive. Small price to pay though! :) Kudos to my techie husband who made sure that all my stuff was backed up to CD and formatted the hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX for me! I probably could have done most of it on my own, but it would have taken a LOT more time and tears and research, so I am eternally grateful!

He also got his travel visa to go to the UK, so now I can stop trying not to get excited about the trip and start realizing that it can happen and get planning! Which includes asking for time off work. eeps. If I do it now it should be enough notice. Things have been going pretty smoothly, so I don't think it will be a problem.
