I got a haircut! Sue and I were both trying to get long enough hair to donate to locks of love, but my hair had started growing much more slowly, and I was getting really sick of dealing with it. Also, it's just way to hot to have long hair. Sue gave up, too. She said she didn't want to have long hair when the baby was born because then it would just get pulled. Her mom did the haircuts for us. It seems like my hair is happier when it's shorter. It's about shoulder length right now, and it wasn't even tangled when I got out of the shower. It usually doesn't tangle unless I let it get really long. Also, it feels markedly less hot out.
I started feeling sick sometime Monday afternoon while I was at work, and it's still pretty much in full swing. I've been staying out of the house as much as I can, and in my room when I am home to try not to get my house mates sick. It's pretty miserable, and shows no signs of letting up.
My 6 month probation as a new hire at the library ends the 15th of next month. That means I'll be eligible for annual leave, and I'll get a bit of a raise. I already scheduled some of my leave time to have a weekend off for LEAF (Lake Eden Arts Festival for those that might not know it) in October. It doesn't seem like I've been working there six months. I like this job a lot. As soon as the position with more hours posts I'm going to apply for it, but it will probably take a long time for the city bureaucracy to get sorted out.
