Things are still going well. The only annoyance around here, besides the stereos, is this dog across the canal. It’s left out 24/7 with a whole lot to bark at, given the position it’s in. We’ve seen it on our walks. It’s huge and loud. Way more so than the bitch’s dog back at the duplex.

The spells on my tooth worked for two days, but today it’s back to being bad. I’m going to step up the spells and hope for the best.

I researched my bamboo plant online. It’s actually called a Lucky bamboo plant that’s said to bring good fortune. We’ll see. Meanwhile, I clipped a trimming off of the leafy part and put it in water. Hopefully, it will sprout roots that will grow a new cane, as they call the stalk.

She just came in next door. At first I was surprised not to be able to feel each other’s movements, considering that the back porch sort of extends out and wraps around her place, but it’s not actually connected to either structure, so that’s why we wouldn’t have to feel it if she brought any wild kids over.

I sort of wish they’d come out with a hydraulic jack and give the left side of this place a boost, but tilted houses are the least of our concerns.
