Holiday week Mondays aren't so bad

Day one of a three day week is almost over. Woo! I love short weeks. Today has been a good day, so far, too. Work went well, and now it's almost over. When I leave here I'm going to go to my sister's house for dinner, and that's always fun. I love being able to see her every week (just about). The food is great, but the company is better. She has a great family.

And while I'm at her house, I'm going to ask my brother-in-law for some advice on my car. My check engine light came on a couple of weeks ago, and when I got gas last week, the gas cap was loose, and the gas hose kept clicking off even right after I started pumping (and the tank was almost empty). I finally stopped pumping it when I got to $35, but that only got me to just over 3/4 (also, gas prices suck, but that's an entry for another day). So how do I get all of that air out of my tank so that my check engine light will go back off? Do I fill until it overflows, pushing the air out with it? I have no idea, but he will.

J took his dogs with him to work this morning, because they have to go to the vet this afternoon to get their stitches out (they had lumps removed two weeks ago) - in fact, they're probably there as I'm writing this. And it felt so weird to only have my two dogs at the house this morning when I got up! Freaky weird, like time warped and I was back to a time before J started staying with me. Only his stuff is everywhere, so I know that didn't happen. :) I think the ideal family for us is going to be two dogs and either no cats or only one cat, but right now normal is four and five, respectively, and it feels weird when half of one of those parts is gone. I'll be glad to see his pups tonight.

And okay, I've got to go, so later, taters!
