Another day, another water shut-off. Yeah, that alone is enough of a reason to want to move. Sick of this shit, although I shouldn’t have been dumb enough to attempt to do laundry during the daytime. Fortunately, the water didn’t go off until after my shower but we had to pause the washer. From now on, there will be absolutely no more showers, laundry or dishes running during the daytime while we’re still here since most of these “emergencies” occur during the daytime.

Tom assures me that Joy’s last complaint was not aimed at us specifically but at a lot of people because many have let their yards go. There’s one nearby that let their grass get knee-high. So it’s not a coincidence that the complaint comes the day after I complain anonymously about the middle-of-the-night motorcycles? I guess not since I’ve complained that way before and didn’t get counter-complained on the next day, after all.

Today is going to be 95° but in a few days, we’re going to drop all the way down to about 70° and get some rain, which is unusual for this time of year. I love the warmer weather when I’m awake but it definitely makes sleeping a bit uncomfortable.

The lump in my neck has been noticeable again. He thinks it’s just a weird muscle or tendon and I think it’s either a swollen lymph node or a thyroid nodule. Unfortunately, I’m probably the one that’s right. He didn’t think I was infected but I knew I was. I was in too much pain not to be. Broccoli is supposed to be bad for thyroids so once I run out of what I’ve got, I’ll back off and see if it’s less noticeable.

Yesterday was the first day I didn’t need any ibuprofen for my tooth. It’s still improving but very slowly. I can still feel some sensitivity if I chew on that side and when I brush my teeth.

Couldn’t resist commenting on a couple of friends of Alyssa’s that allow public comments. I don’t know, I guess the thought of her noticing it amuses me, though I don’t know that she has. She may have all kinds of nannies and other people to help her with that kid, but she’s got to be pretty busy. This is the longest she’s gone that I know of without changing her profile picture so I doubt she has much time for Facebook. The last change was in August. One of the friends replied that lives in Harlingen, Texas where Molly is from (I complimented her yard decor). Most of her friends are from this area so I don’t know how they know each other or if they’re related or not.
