Microwave Dependence

So, my microwave is currently not working. I discovered this while trying take the easy way out of cooking and putting pasta in there. It's very annoying because it lights up and spins the food around, it just doesn't heat it up. What makes it even more annoying is that I keep on forgetting that it doesn't work. For example, yesterday morning I wanted some oatmeal, so I put it in the microwave, pushed the buttons, and then realized when I pulled it out that yes, it was still uncooked. I tried to eat it cold, but I found out that it is not possible. Then I felt sick. So, in the end, that was a bad idea. I really depend on my microwave, I realized. I use it to make vegetables, to make our Bird's Eye steam-fresh meals, and other things that make it look like I cooked but my husband but mostly involve pushing buttons. Truth be told, and this may come as a shock, I am not too great at the wife thing. I am kind of lazy. But, Austin is lucky to have me because he uses me as his datebook and errand runner. Today I had to go get a prescription for Hammy's heartworm medication. Dogs are expensive, p.s. I was also just telling Josh how Hammy can also be stinky. This often occurs when he passes gas. He'll just be innocently laying there, and.. there he goes. He is silent but deadly.
So, as judging from my post, my life is not very interesting. I am working on finding a job, probably not a real one, but one that gives me money. I am not cut out for subbing. The kids are wild because they have a sub, and I also have to go to new schoools each day. That makes me feel like I a starting a new job each time I get a sub job. I am also having trouble actually getting sub jobs. So, righ now Austin and I are struggling a little in the money department. He'll be getting a raise in January because everybody in the military will. It will help some. You should in general feel sorry for him. I can't wait until I get to see people over Christmas. We mostly spend time with people from Austin's work, and I am ready to be around people who I can say, "Remember that time you..." because everybody loves when I do that, right?

Remember that time you spilled Dr. Pepper on your computer?

That's kind of a funny story, after the fact.

Remember that time Josh hit Samrin in the eye with a Nerf dart? I actually wasn't there, but I feel like I experienced the moment.

I can't wait to see you soon so that we can do lots of remembering! :-D

Hey Kalyn! Yeah temping is pretty fun. My only big complaint with it is waking up at the crack of dawn, but hey, if you're a sub that happens too. It's also always amusing to see what random adventures the agency sends you on. Like being in the same building as the president, or standing in line on Capitol Hill at 6:30 in the morning. Always fun.

Sorry about your microwave!
