Once again, I can’t seem to get under 127 pounds. Oh well. I tried. Besides, the least this diet and exercise routine can do is keep me fit and from gaining any more weight.

Tom didn’t know this, but in using the card to pay for motels, we were racking ourselves up points because they were such large payments. I nearly screamed when he told us we’ve earned two nights in a hotel, but as he said, they’re fancy hotels and they have a pool. Well, I like the pool part of it, since we very well may never own a pool again. Plus, two days would certainly be better than two months. When I add up our motel time here, and the hotel time between Phoenix and Maricopa, that’s nearly 5 months! Damn, 5 months in motels/hotels, 6 months in jail, 2 years in Valleyhead, 5 months in Brattleboro – does something up there like me to get stuck in places I don’t want to be in, or what?

We also decided that we probably will move on when our lease expires in May and maybe head towards Medford. Moving’s a bitch, but it’s what we’re fated to do. Besides, his job doesn’t look promising as far as a promotion goes, and the pay in Klamath Falls overall is pretty low. That’s why the rents are so cheap. If we go to Medford, there’ll be more stores available to us, more work options available to him, plus we’ll be closer to the coast. Maybe only 50 miles closer, but closer, nonetheless. From K-Falls, it’s probably 2-3 hours to the coast. Although I feel we have much more security and stability in a duplex versus motels, I still won’t really feel secure until we’re owners again in a place no one can take from us. Nonetheless, we’re going to start looking a month before our lease is up because I don’t see how it can stay this quiet here, and there’s no sense in waiting for trouble.

Later…

Well, we’ve given away a free shed, so next is giving away a free RV. God should love us for being forced to be so generous, giving away $1,500 worth of stuff. I misunderstood him when it came to that, too. We don’t get two free nights in a fancy hotel for staying in motels, but only a few measly dollars. We would get the two free nights from donating the RV. Not the hundreds of dollars of cash we’d prefer, but oh well. At least we’d be getting something.

Anyway, Tom’s gone to put the trash out for tomorrow’s pick-up. How nice it is to know we can put trash out without a million dogs getting into it and dumping it all over the place.
