It’s been a surprisingly quiet night so far. Other than a faint car stereo and a few planes, most of the background noise I hear is too faint or far to be even remotely annoying.

Tom awoke early so we went out for a walk. So peaceful in the middle of the night. We’re on for rain again tomorrow. I know we really need the rain here but I wish it would stop already. I miss the sunshine which I have to miss out on enough of the time as it is with my schedule.

Applying lotion after my shower while I’m still wet has been making a remarkable difference in making my skin softer and moister. It’s a bit of a hassle because I have to let my skin air dry before I get dressed but definitely worth it.

Amazon is really pissing me off because they keep changing the day the pigs’ cage is supposed to arrive. It was supposed to come Wednesday, then Thursday, yet it still isn’t here.

Saw a headline about a guy in North Carolina who was arrested for abandoning his pet fish when he got evicted. Okay, I can totally see where people would be anti-animal abuse. After all, they do have feelings too. However, there’s something about this that seems a bit extreme. Maybe it’s wrong of me but I think it’s one thing to beat the crap out of a dog or a cat but to arrest someone for abandoning a fish is going a little too far. Hell, people catch, kill and eat fish all the time. I think there are more important things to jail people for but that’s just our twisted justice system’s warped sense of priority for you.

Still not remembering much in the way of dreams. Something about something bad happening in a large hotel I was staying at. I don’t know if it happened in our room or not but it was in one of the hotel rooms. I walked by its open door and found the room totally ransacked.

Not feeling safe, I ran down to the lobby after it seemed to take forever for the cops to arrive. Not sure who called them, but when they finally arrived, half a dozen or so lady detectives were sitting at a couple of card tables chatting. I asked if they were the police and they said yes. Don’t know what happened after that, though.

Anyway, I think I’ll go start the fifth chapter of my NaNo project while my chicken wings are baking.
