I used an earplug with the fan instead of the sound machine, so I slept better today. Condensation started dripping off the windowsill closest to mom and daughter, so I pulled stuff away from it, along with the one that overlooks ours and Bev’s patios, and wiped them down. Then I foiled the window by mom and daughter, and sure enough, all the while I was foiling them, the daughter went back and forth 4 times. This was just before 8:00 and both sides were lit up, too. I’m still not entirely sure when these people sleep or how they can afford to stay home all the time. I miss the days of having my neighbors work all day, but I haven’t had that since I moved in with Tom.

At one point I saw the daughter go over to her side and take out a garbage bag. She never once looked up at me, so if she noticed me, she paid no attention, not that I’d care.

Well, I’ll just remind myself every time they slam doors and Bev slams her furniture that one day this will all be just a memory. Meanwhile, this 6-month sentence, versus the one in jail, is far more comfortable and quieter!

We got something in the mail we both have mixed emotions about. We got a card from the queen and one from Miss Perfect and Dave. Miss Perfect wrote that they “figured” money would be more useful than a package, and I was like, you’re just now figuring that out? So she enclosed a check for $100 and the queen enclosed a check for $300 and sent them here. While this certainly helps, it doesn’t get us out of the hole. Tom had hoped for twice as much, but we’re never going to be out of the hole anyway. Still, it was a cheap, half-assed attempt to help what’s supposed to still be their homeless son/brother and his wife (we told them we’ve “arranged” to get our mail at this address). Anyway, they’ll still be receiving the silent treatment from me, and Tom agrees that’s best.

I said to Tom, “See? Nothing about the queen’s health.” That’s no doubt cuz the doctor took one look at her and said, “You’re a hypochondriac! There ain’t a damn thing wrong with you. Go home!”

But Tom disagreed, saying that now wouldn’t be an appropriate time to mention it if there were something wrong.

But it’s appropriate to sit back and do nothing to help your homeless family members?

He’s going to put some money into that game site and play against others, and I’m going to get incense, incense oil, bags, light bulb rings, and designer body oil. It’ll come to roughly $65 with shipping. This is a wholesale order I’m going to do. I just hope they don’t fuck up the order and that I get it in 2-3 weeks and no longer!

Later…

I just heard a series of mild bangs when I was in the dining area eating a chicken pot pie. I couldn’t tell which side it was coming from, though I’ve never known mom and daughter to bang that much. It wasn’t as fierce as last Sunday, but if it wasn’t coming from Bev, then where could it have come from? I went and looked in back to see if there were any lights on over there and there didn’t appear to be. However, if there was a light on in the living room, I may not be able to tell, or behind thick bedroom drapes. I peered out front to see if I could see light spilling out onto the lawn from her living room window, but I couldn’t tell with the streetlight right there. I thought I heard a few mild bumps and bangs last night around this time, too. They lasted 5-10 minutes. If it was her, what the hell’s she doing??? And why do the quiet neighbors either move or get noisier with time? Even the Mormons and freeloaders started off quiet! I am such a magnet for noise it isn’t funny, though I can’t swear it was in fact Bev. I doubt, however, I could hear inside banging from mom and daughter. Not unless they were hammering on the wall just outside here or dropped a grand piano or a refrigerator. Perhaps it was car doors I heard, though I doubt that, too. People around here just don’t have tons and tons of company like the freeloaders did. Besides, there’d be no place for half a dozen cars to park. There’s no parking allowed on this street. Oh well. In 129 days this will all be just a memory.

PG has a sweepstake that said no purchase was necessary to enter it, so I did. The winner gets a check for 5 grand, plus a grand worth of in-stock PG dolls. Then 10 runners-up get $250 worth of PG dolls. The drawing will be on March 4th. I know I have no chance, but I entered anyway.

Here’s something rather funny. We got tons and tons of useless trash in our Maricopa yard, yet the one piece of trash Tom found in our yard here, turned out to be a $2 winning lottery ticket.

Tom read that a woman paid 50 grand for a cloned cat. And I thought I was crazy to want a doll that cost 6 grand!
