Andy and I left each other messages all day yesterday and he said, yes, it was a real cop who called. He said the guy never called back and wasn’t supposed to call off duty like he did. See? He’s always been the lucky one. If that were me, they’d call or come to my door, but definitely subpoena me.

He mentioned maybe coming over, but I don’t know how long I’ll be up or what Tom and I are doing.

Can you believe I got no calls from Fran? I did get a letter from Bob and Brian, though.

I talked to my dad who got the banners and really liked them. He said they may take pictures, too. I guess the banners got there just in time since they do the flea market on weekends only.

Now I’m going to go finish typing #52 and type a few letters.

Later...

I finished typing #52 and I started with #49. Haven’t typed any letters yet, but I will.

I may or may not be getting new journals today. Don’t know yet what’s going on. I’d still like to get smaller journals for Tammy, Mom and Dad, and Andy, but we’ll have to see. I still wonder if I should take a journal and not only do more stories but maybe a subject breakdown of what topics are covered in each journal.

Later...

Well, I started going through journals 1, 2 & 3, doing subject notes, but I ditched the idea. It’d be just too much work that I don’t care to do.

I had to spray in the bathroom a little while ago, cuz there are ants in there.

Tom will be getting up anytime now, I guess.

I’m going to go lay down for a while cuz I’m tired after how I was viciously woken up. I don’t know what happened. I guess the contents of my stomach came up into my throat. I awoke choking and coughing pretty badly.

Later...

Tom went out to the hardware store and also to get us something to eat. In the meantime, I wish the mail would hurry up and get here.

Remember the very very old cassette player my mom has had since I was little? Well, since I’ve been here I’ve had it in the back room, but now that Tom got the portable CD/cassette player, I brought it into the bedroom. I put it on the shelf by my bed. So like old times, I can play them before bed or while I write, like I am now, and not have to worry about turning off a main power switch.

Tom finally managed to get his picture-printing program to work after working on it so long and hard. He did 4 pictures of Norah in 4 different sizes. I put the biggest one on the sides of my shelves and the second to biggest one in the front of this book. Inside the front cover.

Been nice and quiet next door. It’s too hot for anyone to be out. I was, but I have a pool. I went swimming a few hours ago.

I just had to take my inhaler. That shit I used to spray the ants with is so gross! Earlier I was going to spray the big cactus down with the plastic sealer, but no way. My lungs have had enough for today.

This Tuesday we’re going to go out and do some shopping. Gotta get Mary and David a wedding present, buy something with our wedding money, and I may get more journals.
