Well, I finally got letters off to Mary, Paula and Bob, though I had to clip them to the outside flap of the mailbox. This is because some of the envelopes are too wide for this skinny old box. Next door has a nicer box. It’s wider and newer. I guess they’ll have to put things that don’t fit in the box right up against the door or somewhere on the porch. We haven’t yet received any mail here as there’s always a bit of a delay when forwarding. Today we should get something. If it’s like most places, though, the mail won’t come till around 2:00.

Again there was a big black spider in here last night. I sucked it up with the vacuum. Is this going to be a nightly tradition or what? I just wish this place was sealed up better!

It was a chilly 62º when he got up this morning. Tonight we’ll light the gas heater.

Meanwhile, now that I’m all caught up in here all I can do is be bored shitless till Charter gets here at 4:00, and they better get here!

Later…

The neighbor was gone when I got up at 9:00 and she just got back. If she does work, she’s working a very early shift. Given the odd hours she comes and goes, I couldn’t even begin to guess what it is she does. I’m just amazed that she hasn’t had company yet! See, she’s gonna move. I just know it.

The mailman, at least I think it was the mailman and not someone just out to steal people’s mail, took the mail just before 1:30. I could just make out their movements from the bedroom, though I never saw anyone. But we never got any mail. She hasn’t appeared to get any either. Makes me wonder if there really is delivery service here or what. Could it just be that the carrier delivers her mail back to her place and ours hasn’t been forwarded yet? I hope that’s the case!

I’m also surprised no one’s knocked on the door yet wanting me to buy cookies or fall in love with Jesus.
