I have found that building guinea pig cages is plain trial and error. I have changed my cage many times and this last set up will stay this way for a long time. My fingers are red and swollen from the zip ties and I don't have the patience any time soon to remove the mass amount of zip ties I used. This cage is very sturdy.

I have been wanting to utilize the space in my appartment better and now I definitely am. I love the stacked 2x6 with a gap between the levels for easy access to...

Every year since I have turned eighteen I get a jury summons like clock work. Usually I call the evenning before and they don't need me and it works out just fine.

Right now I'm taking vacation time at work so I have 16 days off in total. Since the jury summons was on a monday I decided I'd just take a chance and deal with it so that I wouldn't have to worry about it.

So I call on Sunday and find out that I've been put on standby and that I will have to call back on...

I went for a nice hike today, I didn't see anyone on the trail. It was beautiful as usual. The parking lot has been closed for a week now due to the elephant seals taking it over. I'm all about the wild life having their space. What gets me are the tourists that think they can touch them and get as close as possible. It makes me angry, I live here for a reason. I just wish people would respect the local wildlife.

It drives me nuts.

There is a supposedly three huge storm systems headed our way that is supposed to start on Sunday and continue until next week. It's predicting a ton of rain and the worst system is coming through when I'm working.

This storm is supposed to bring a ton of wind as well. I guess trees will go down and roads will get closed. I hate to lose power.

I feel bad dreading this storm, as I turn on the news I see the people in Haiti and the tragedy they are enduring.

I'm so frustrated with education.

I need one class to meet my pre-requisites for Paramedic school. I work full time so I'm only willing to take this class once a week. Well it's already full and I can't even sign up for a seat for another three days. I'm thinking about just trying to crash the class, but it's not a for sure thing that I get the class. One class that's all I need, I'm not willing to drive down there twice a week for one hour at a time.
