Again I slept well. That’s two days in a row they let me, but again, is it because the music did such a good job of blocking the barking out, or was there simply no barking to begin with? By next weekend at the latest, I should know which one is the case. I got up at 5:30 this afternoon. A half-hour later the dog was put out for 2½ hours but only barked once.

Tom said the Miller St. house he went to look at today was also a bust because it’s in a cluster of houses that share a driveway, and dogs could get within 5-10 feet from the house. Is anything for rent not shared in some way? We’ll have to just take whatever we can get. We just don’t have all the time and money in the world to be choosy. We gotta go somewhere, and since there’s no peaceful place for us, it’ll mostly come down to price in the end, location second. When I say location, I mean nothing a half-hour out of town. Nothing rural. What a coincidence in God’s timing with the gas prices getting out of control!

My ear is back to annoying me, and I’m back to being stumped as to whether or not it is my ear or my teeth. I’m just sick of this ear and teeth shit and having my eyes get worse and worse by the minute!
