It’s a good thing Tom didn’t try going to work last night. He said he walked out to the corner where our property, next door’s and Ralston meets and found a big pothole that he wouldn’t have been able to see with all the water rushing downwards and he’d have gotten stuck for sure. I told him he would’ve.

The pellets we dumped in the wash are now completely covered with sand. Most of the dirt washed off the pipes too, so now Maricopa’s dogs will be able to play with them easier.

The phone didn’t come back on till 1 PM today, so Tom told me when I got up an hour later.

It was nice getting up at the end of the freeloader’s prime time, knowing I wouldn’t have to sit and wonder if Scot would be bugging me in the upcoming hours.

As predicted, we’re going to be forced to lower the sell order price if we want to get on with life and do the things we planned. So now we’ll be getting closer to $2000, rather than $3000. At least it’ll be enough to cover a truck and the classes. I hope so, anyway. I’m sure whatever evil entity is out there that hates us will fight us on the truck, too.

I also won’t be getting that mannequin, but that’s okay. Someday I will get one. Or two. In the reply I got back from Sherrie – yes, she does come with the wig and stand, but she’s sold out. So now we’re back on for the 3 PG dolls.

Tom left at 3:00 to go to Mary’s to see what parts they’ll need to get for the sink replacement project. Then, he’ll head into work from there.

Right before 4:00, I saw a black king snake out front towards the road but didn’t bother to go out to get pictures, since I already have enough of that kind. This year sure does hold the record for snake sightings!

Later…

Got all the windows open now and the AC turned off. It’s a little warm in certain parts of the house but nice. Doesn’t reek of shit, either. It’ll be nice and cool come nighttime. To me, it’s no different than a hot summer day in Massachusetts right now.
