Nnnnrgh. It has just finally slipped below 95 degrees, now that the sun is going down. This afternoon, while we were hiking all over the West Side, it was 99. My mom's apartment? Currently doesn't have a working cooler. The whole Corrales Bosque is closed for fire danger. Summer in the desert can bite me. I almost cried when I got back to my dad's and the sweet, delicious air conditioning.
On the bright side, once we made it to the coffee shop my mom helped me with my resume (I have an interview this week with UNM, oh god), I found some neat steampunk-y pendants at the craft store, and I bought new glasses. And yesterday there was cake!
I feel a lot less guilty about spending money now that I have a legit paying job. Which, oops, I hadn't mentioned, had I? I have a legit paying job! I was really nervous after my interview last week, since I didn't think my skill set was quite what they were looking for. But I guess their reservations were outweighed by their desperation, because I'm now a tech editor for an engineering firm. Assuming I don't fuck anything up, they should have work for me at least until their big project finishes up at the end of July, which should hopefully give me time to find something a little more permanent. And in the meantime, yay monies!
Once I get a few more hours logged in next week, I'm going to my tattoo parlor and making an appointment to have my new piece done. I've had the design set for almost a year now, I can't wait to see how it actually turns out.
ETA: Missed the news while I was at my mom's sans internet, but fuck yeah New York marriage equality! :DDD
