While I was sleeping, Toni gave us some pumpkin soup in a really nice bowl with a cover. The cover had a little dial with numbers on it and I don’t know if that’s how long you’re supposed to heat it up for or what. The dial was a little plastic cover attached to the main cover, so I opened it so the soup could vent when heating it in the microwave.

It was funny how she got both our names wrong because she wrote on the box that it was for Jean and David from Santa. Tom said she said that if we didn’t like it to just get rid of it and put something in it that we like. He told her that while he doesn’t like anything, I balance us out because I like everything. It was good too. Perhaps just a touch spicy, but otherwise delicious.

I’ll go over and thank her one of these days soon. I might even give her a diamond painting, but not too soon because I don’t want her to think I’m only giving it to her because she gave us the soup.

We went to a different CVS yesterday morning. Every time I say I’m not going to get another doll, I do, LOL. Well, at least I don’t collect like I used to. She’s 27 inches tall, but I could see why she was only $12 when I pulled her out of the box. She’s made of a very thin, lightweight plastic. Even her white injection mold shoes are. She wears a pretty red dress with a heart in the center of it. She has brown eyes and reddish hair in a ponytail with a red headband that matches her dress. She’s one of those dolls that walks with you, but she doesn’t walk very well. Those things never do, not that I got her for that, of course. She stands by my desk by the door.

I also got some candy and some blueberry wine. Never had blueberry wine before. It’s Blueberry Fruscato by Barefoot only. It doesn’t taste very blueberry. White Merlot is my new favorite, but this one didn’t have it.

Tom said that when he was in back of the house the other day, he wondered if someone had a kennel because off in the distance, he could hear about eight dogs barking at once. Well, it’s been a noisy night here so far. Although I don’t mean noisy in the way it was at the old place. There is a dog somewhere in back that I can make out but it’s soft enough not to be annoying. I think there are actually two dogs back there, but one I hear much more often. I wonder if it’s someone working third shift because it’s left out all night and I don’t see how the hell that person could sleep if they were home. I feel bad for their neighbors!

I’ve also heard more than enough motorcycles blazing down the roads outside the park. Fridays and Saturday nights are the worst for that.
