Yesterday I never heard one bark, but there’s a simple enough explanation for that. She went out. Didn’t get in till after 11:00. It’s watering now and stuffing itself on the patio. It’s doing its favorite pastime, too – watering. It was a rather humid day today, so it’ll live out there with the beast till sundown.

We walked to the grocery store, stopping at a coffee shop first. On the way back was when we saw her out front watering. I’m sure she saw us too, though she quickly turned to reach for her faucet. When I looked outside a short while later, the sprinkler was still going, so she no doubt turned to the faucet just to make like she didn’t see us so she wouldn’t have to acknowledge our presence in any way. Fine with me!

A guy was fired at work who works on Saturdays in the wire-cutting department. Tom’s hoping to either get his job or more overtime since they obviously don’t care to give him a raise, the greedy assholes. He got overtime last Friday, even though they said there’d be no more after that, so it was one of those times we were glad they didn’t keep their word. He’s thinking they’ll get even more because the newbies keep fucking things up.

Meanwhile, he worked on his bike and I swept. Tomorrow’s when we change the rat and fire up the truck. We’ll probably call some rental ads, too. There’s a house for $410. It’s downtown and probably a piece of shit in a shitty area, but who cares? There’s no peaceful place for Tom and Jodi S, so why not? If we’re not meant to live in peace, then why the hell not? In fact, if it weren’t for my liking to blast my music, we may as well as do apartments.

Nah, let’s get detached and at least eliminate the banging and TVs.
