I had chest pains for the first 3 hours of my day. It was this weird achiness in the center of it that I’m guessing was a pulled muscle. Coincidently or not, it went away after I had a raspberry yogurt. At least I know it can’t be my heart since two doctors recently listened to it. 

My knee feels better but I don’t know if I’ll go running tonight or not. I think that by the time it’s cool enough I’ll be getting too tired, but we’ll see. If not, I’ll be out tomorrow evening for sure. 

Next door’s own car alarm went off for 10-15 seconds. Theirs is just a horn. Really wish they’d quit coming and going so much or at least quit slamming doors as much when they do. This isn’t like them. They’ve never slammed doors like this before. Could they be moving? Bob didn’t mention that so this is why I wonder about a store. Maybe they’re hauling supplies back and forth or something. I know they’re really into gardening at the community garden, too. 

I finished the visual proofreading of my book, so now it’s on to the electronic reading. 

Pretty sure the tropical tree outside the master bedroom window is a plumeria tree, based on what I saw in someone's yard a few streets away when I was out running the other day. It was about 20’ tall and without my glasses, I first thought its flowers were hibiscuses like they have all over Hawaii. Instead, it was plumeria flowers, also abundant in Hawaii. 

I think my medication may be sharpening my brain back up again because today I could remember what German words Nane taught me yesterday without having to look them out. When I was bitching to Tom about how frustrating Andy’s own forgetfulness can be at times and how he wondered if he had Alzheimer’s (his doctor said he didn’t) Tom said he’s too young for that. He getting close to where he could be old enough to have the early onset of it, but thinks it’s more likely the many years of being a pothead that’s causing him to have trouble remembering things. Even though he’s been clean for years, the accumulative effect brought on by many years of smoking pot can have irreversible damage.
