So it’s been just over a month since I got my iPhone and the novelty is beginning to wear off a bit, thank god. Because I really was spending way too much time using it! Now I am back to reading during my lunch break instead of screwing around on my phone and I feel smarter already. ;)
I think the one thing the iPhone has afforded me is more time to keep in touch with friends without being tied to my computer. Last thing I want after working at a computer all day is to be in front of mine at home. There are days where I don’t have to boot up at all. It’s a beautiful thing! Between Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook, I can keep on top of what everyone is up to but still have time to relax. Although I must admit the evenings just fly by. I don’t even know what I’m doing since it’s not cooking healthy meals or working out, two things I SHOULD be doing daily. When the Fall shows begin I’m going to be even a bigger lazy ass if that’s possible.

Is it bad that I don’t want my pets anymore? Don’t worry, I won’t be getting rid of them, because that’s irresponsible, but the work to keep their cages clean is completely out of proportion to the joy they bring. In other words, I am finding them to be more trouble than they are worth and when they go to the hamster wheel and sewer (lol, just kidding) in the sky, that’s it. I’m holding out for a cat.
The rats especially make me question what I was thinking. They are much better than a hamster in that you can actually interact with them, but there’s no good place for their cage and I feel bad that they don’t have a bigger one. In addition, after Joe shampooed our carpeting we don’t want them running around on it anymore so I have to lay out a blanket and surround it with the makeshift wall we created from some boxes. That makes it difficult to interact with them. And even worse is that for whatever reason they are making my house smell like mothballs which is seriously annoying me. I can’t figure out if it’s the litter I’m using (Yesterday’s News) or just them. I have a brand new bag of litter to go through and after that I’m going to see if the smell gets better.
Oh and on top of that, I feel like my breathing has been getting weird lately. It almost feels like I’m developing asthma. If it gets any worse I might just have to find them another home but we’ll see if it comes to that. As much as they annoy me, I think I’d be upset if I got rid of them because they are like relatives – you love them but don’t really like them. That is how I am feeling about the rodents in this house lately.
