It’s warmed up a bit out there since the heat never went on last night. The morning’s fog was like – wow! I looked outside at 8 AM, an hour before I went to bed, and could barely see Meadow Green or even Ralston. When I looked in back, the middle rental was barely visible and the furthest one was completely invisible.

I received an order confirmation from the site where I ordered the nudes. Both dolls will come to $67 with shipping and handling included. Not bad for top-of-the-line fashion dolls such as Alex and Eve. She says she plans to ship on Wednesday and will email to confirm it. They’ll be shipped by priority mail which is way more reliable, but as fate would have it, they’ll probably arrive Saturday which means I’ll have to wait till Monday to get them. How I wish we had mail service out here! You’d think we’re getting closer with the way it’s building up out here.

This coming week we’re also expecting the cylinder and a toolkit via UPS that Tom got with bonus points from work. Last time around he chose one of their yearly planners.

At some point over the next few days, he’ll be installing a voice recognition program on my PC. Because my PC’s faster now, it may work well enough and make doing Mary’s drafts even faster till the thing breaks. Especially when I have so much stuff. I got a good chunk of it done yesterday, though, and currently have about 30 more pages to go. Once that’s done I’ll get on with a project that both Mary and a dream inspired me to do. I’m going to write the book that Andy and I talked about because I know it can’t possibly be jinxed into coming true what with all I know today about our corrupt laws. I know too much now to be tricked and manipulated like I was before.

It’ll be part reality, but mostly fantasy, and no, Johnson won’t be my costar. I decided on Kate Jackson as my object of lust and ultimately love. The jail we’ll meet in will be totally unlike any jail that could exist in reality. For the most part, anyway. It’ll be based on the one I saw in my dream.

Anyway, it’s nice to know we can afford all this stuff we got, but I’m a little overwhelmed right now as I feel like I have so much to learn! First about the TV/computer setup, then maybe, just maybe, dollmaking. I’ll probably end up learning more this year than in the last 5 combined. Only difference is, instead of learning about corrupt laws and how to trim my bangs with nail clippers, I’ll be learning more technology-related stuff.

Later…

Well, that explains why I thought the Alex doll I’m getting looked a little different than the other Alex dolls. It’s not Alex. It’s her friend Paris.
