I’d swear it was the weekend if I didn’t know any better. Patty hasn’t had any company today. Amazing, huh?

Have I forgiven her for allowing such loud, obnoxious and rude guests over? Nope. That’s ok, though, because she won’t know it when we give notice and get the chance to get some blind buddy of hers in here. She lost that chance last week. And believe me when I say a noise curse is going to befall her just as soon as we get a place lined up! Or sooner if the animals return. A part of me wishes they would too, just so that can serve as an incentive for me to ditch any last concerns I may have over blasting off.

Since last Wednesday’s antics, there hasn’t been much other than an occasional bark, but no fits at the fence or anything like that. She and the beast were on the patio last night from 8:00 - 9:30. She was gabbing on her little phone while poking at something I couldn’t make out that sat on the table before her. It almost seemed like a typewriter, but you wouldn’t jab at a typewriter the way she was jabbing at whatever this thing was. Although neither of them made a sound, it really does bug me to have people/animals camped right outside my bedroom like this. Especially when I’m getting ready for bed. Every time I see that damn dog lying in the yard, I wish a bunch of ants would sneak up and attack the hell out of it!

The heat flushes next door out back in the early evenings, but I haven’t heard nearly as much from them in the way of door-slamming since it got hot. This is probably because they leave their doors open all the time now so there’s nothing to slam.

Tom got more information from that guy on the house off the highway. He says the lady next door has two small dogs, which makes me think she may take them indoors when it’s cold, and that it is quiet, but I’m sure that much is subject to change once we get there, if we do get there. He wants to check out Hartman Realty first and see what they’ve got for rentals. They seem to have a lot of stuff lately while AAA has nothing.

Tom walked down to a pizza place yesterday after work and got us a large pizza to split. It was a nice treat and a nice break from the usual. We could’ve had one delivered from someone else, but they were more expensive.
