I just hung 3 stuffed animals out on the clothesline to be aired out. I also vacuumed today, but I’m not all done with that. I shall also clean the bathroom.

I made up 2 manila envelopes last night for letters. I wrote Bob’s letters on one and I wrote Kim’s letters and others on the other one. The envelope that I was originally going to send Kim is for Bob’s letters. There are 20 so far.

I still have 10 more pages that I’ll type out to stick in the last 10 pages that remain in #70.

The Guardian is to be on the 5th of August at 8 PM on the USA network. Great. Now I can get scenes that aren’t in the uncut movie I have. I’ll ask Andy to record it as a backup, cuz I’m sure that’s when the cable will have to fuck up.

I’m surprised Andy didn’t call tonight. He said something about a Thursday visit, but I’m not sure when I’ll be up anyway. More surprising is that Fran hasn’t called. Well, good for him.

Later...

Well, I’m wide awake. I wish I could be a day person! Why can’t I get up at 8 AM every day?

I began Bob’s letter and got a page done of it. I’ll probably type 3 pages and send 3 blank pieces of paper. In this last letter I got from him, he says he’s got 52 envelopes, but only 3 pieces of paper. Kim’s been taking care of him in the stamp department. I’m doing the envelopes and paper.

Later...

Andy will be here anytime, so I’ll probably get cut off. In the meantime, I got up at 5:00.

That stupid, stupid mailman. I was told at the post office that I owed 23¢ on an overstuffed letter from Bob. What they really meant and had me do was pay 23¢ for a letter to be returned to me that I overstuffed to Bob. Even Tom said that was wrong. I’ll combine that letter with Bob’s next letter that I’m currently typing and put extra postage on it.

We also had a massive dust storm, followed by a monsoon storm. Lots of rain, wind, lightning, and thunder, and it knocked the power out for almost an hour.

I hope Larry didn’t try calling today.
