As expected, my lotto predictions weren’t even close. Oh well.

Meanwhile, I’m working on my story and am once again faced with the same question I’ve asked myself many times before, as I slowly near the story’s end – what am I going to do afterward??? There’s no proofreading, no kiln, so I guess I might consider another story, but I don’t know what it’d be about. Same sort of thing, I guess. It’s what I write best, or at least what I like to write most of all; lesbian love stories.

Anyway, I’ve been working really hard on this story. Oh, the work I do for free! I wish I could get paid for some of it.

I bumped my diet up to Saturday, the 28th. We’ve been doing the grocery shopping on Fridays since he got fired and I want to start the diet the day after grocery day, the day after I have my weekly treat, so I’ll be starving on even days. Also, rather than tell myself to do it for two weeks, I think I’ll just wait and see how my body reacts to this diet and how much I lose each time I don’t eat before deciding how long I’ll do it.

I did the math and found that at 20’ apart, we could sister the perimeters for approx. $140 per side, $560 total. Since we probably couldn’t do it all at once without a large sum of money, we may do a side or two each spring. Maybe we’ll do the back and south side next spring and the front and north side the spring after that (unless there’s a house in front before the spring of ‘05). If there are any ordinances pertaining to things that grow to be 20’ high around outside perimeters, then we’ll go with regular olies.

I’m so sick of this erratic bleeding! I wish I could just bleed once a month, instead of having either light flows or spotting a week or two prior to my periods, but like the doctor said, it’s normal for a woman my age.
