I peeked into the garden tub as I went to use the bathroom just now. Spiders sometimes like to show up there. Talk about mixed emotions. I hate the things so I don’t want to spot any, but at the same time, I almost wished I did just so I could have fun drowning the little booger. 

Poor Tom. He has a few teeth he needs either pulled or filled, but he is absolutely terrified of dentists. He hasn’t been to one since way before we met in 1993. I told him I’d go with him to my wonderful dentist if he wanted, and he goes, ”How would you laughing at me help?” I promised not to laugh. Well, maybe afterward I would, haha. 

Really hoping to get an invitation to buy Amazon Echo’s “Alexa.” It’s an awesome device that when given vocal commands will gather info for you from the cloud. Things like the weather, how to spell words, and so much more. It will make grocery lists for you, music playlists, and an endless possibility of things. Because we’re prime members we can get it for just $100. 

I walked about a mile earlier and passed two neighbors who were out by the side of the street on the other side of the circle. One was a lady who had exterminators out for beetles. I don’t know her name so I’ll refer to her as the beetle lady. 

The other woman lives at the house where these two little girls often visit and this damn mutt always barks at me when I go by. I’ll call her the dog lady. 

Well, the beetle lady was chatting with the dog lady as I went round and round the block. They said hello to me. On my last round, the beetle lady said, “Look at her going round and round.” 

I passed them, spun around on my heel, and said, “Actually, you guys have been chatting for about a mile now.” 

The beetle lady laughed and the dog lady said, “That means we’re good neighbors.” 

The polite part of me agreed aloud. The evil side silently thought that the beetle lady would be an even better neighbor if she took a frying pan to that damned mutt.
