Last night I slept from 11:00 – 7:00 and I didn’t need Melatonin.

Tammy did get Ma’s card. So much for Larry or Tammy calling me to let me know they got it like they said they would.

Tom worked on the car, mowed and de-dutied the patio. I did laundry and a few other things.

I’m gonna listen to music while he showers. Then he’ll go down on me before we go see his parents. When we return, we’ll probably go swimming, and then we’ll screw so he can have today’s hard-on.

Later…

I love this time of year. It’s so quiet and peaceful, yet scorching hot. If it were winter now, I’d hear those dogs much more often and who knows what kids would be playing ball next door.

They’ve still been quiet next door. They haven’t been around since yesterday. They were pulling out as we were pulling in after bombing.

We were at Mom and Dad’s earlier and then Tom dropped me off and returned to do some work for them after stopping at Radio Shack.

He got in a short while ago and we probably won’t go swimming later. I’ve had my share of the sun and the pool for today.

I brought my sketchbook to Mom and Dad’s and showed them what I’ve done so far.

Later…

Tom has some good news but says it’s not definite. Ma mentioned paying someone to mow when they needed it. She said she’d pay them $20. Then Tom jokingly said, “If you’re gonna pay that much, I’ll do it and Jodi can vacuum and help with the housecleaning.”

Tom says he’ll stand by any decision I make, but he doesn’t think my working is gonna be all that helpful to him and he’s not sure working is what’s best for me. It’s the only other choice I’ll ever have in life, next to staying home all the time and watching Tom struggle all by himself. Isn’t it fair that I do my share of bringing in income? I could still work part-time and take care of the house and help his folks.

This Sunday, or next Sunday, we’re gonna look at the ads. Toms says they have mail-in applications.

Really? How cool. How convenient, too.

Tom says he wants me to keep an open mind as far as what I do for work and to be selective. Well, I can’t be too selective with no special training or experience, so I’ll do my best. A cashier or a housekeeper is pretty much as good as I can get.

I asked Tom why he was so eager to get me to see my parents in a year or two and he said cuz I talk about it a lot, it must be important to me. But I talked a lot about a kid, yet he didn’t seem so eager about that and going to a doctor and doing whatever it took for that, did he?

Anyway, most people hate their jobs and earn shitty money, but we all gotta do what we gotta do to survive, but hopefully I can find a job that’s at least OK.

I think I’ll go listen to music and maybe read or draw. It’s too early for Tom to participate in sex. He usually goes to bed around 8:00, so at 7:00 is probably when we’ll screw.

He gets up at 4:30, but at that time he only wants to watch TV or work on the computer.
