The carpet estimator took measurements yesterday. Turns out they’ve done several houses in this park. Today Tom will pay for it after work and find out exactly when they’ll be out. If they don’t make it by Saturday, then they should definitely make it by Monday or Tuesday. 

Was out running/walking for just under an hour. I didn’t stop to chat with anyone along the way either, which is good, because unless they’re working out with me at my exact pace, I like to focus on what I’m doing. I expected it to be closer to 45 minutes than an hour so maybe I’m going too slow and need to pick up my pace a bit. 

No skunks or possums since the sun was up when I left. I wore my pink cap with its sparse scattering of sequins and it did a good job of keeping the sun out of my eyes. Instead, there was the usual scattering of ducks and turkeys. They usually stick to the edges, but I’ve seen ducks sleeping right outside our carport. At one point 3 turkeys came running toward me and if I didn’t know that turkeys aren’t aggressive that would have scared the shit out of me. They just galloped on by, though. They’re so big you can hear their toenails clicking along the pavement. They’re ugly fuckers, too. 

As soon as the slamming frenzy starts next door I’ll go throw on my kick-ass headphones in the bedroom. iTunes and sound machines won’t cut it cuz it’s an “impact” sound that shakes the place.
