So far my bad vibe for today has been a false alarm. I hope I’m not a day off. That happens sometimes.

I slept the latest I’ve slept in half a year and didn’t get up till noon.

Today’s got to be one of the windiest days out here. You can hear the wind howling. It’s constantly windy or breezy out here and I hope it won’t interfere with the outside work we want to do over his vacation. It’s too bad we’re too broke to do anything like go gambling. We’ll probably be broke for half or even most of the year, thanks to the hotels and Dennis.

I trimmed my bangs earlier. I just don’t have the patience to let them grow out. They’re a pain in the ass to deal with when they’re in my eyes and they look dorky.

Tom said they might not be flying much for a while because one of the planes crashed. He said they tend to ground all the planes until they can figure out what happened.

I forgot to mention that when Tom was at Mary’s, she showed him the pictures they took of us when we went over that day to get our gifts. I can just imagine how this fat ugly face with its double chin and sagging neck must’ve looked, although Tom said they said I looked great. What did he expect them to say? Gee, your wife got fat and is aging by the second? But he insisted that to them they’re the best pictures of me. Glad one of us thinks so. From what he told me, they were making fun of how Ryan looks these days. He says he’s gotten fat and sloppy-looking. He said there was this one picture of me he wanted to show me cuz it looked cool. He said I had red eyes and an evil grin on my face. I guess that the picture was taken right as my expression was changing.

Today it occurred to me that Paula never did call, after all. She must not have a phone. Either that or she’s in jail again.

There’s a little half-inch or so ledge at the base of the skylight which is part of its trim. I put one of the painted plates and a couple of other tiny knickknacks up there and it looks super cool.

Today I posed Bailey and Jade on the loveseat together. They look so cute.
