Well, the peace is over. I got up last night at 8:00 and only heard one stereo bang by and then got to enjoy the rest of the night in peace. But our first little attention-getter of the day just went by, so the end of my day won’t exactly be peaceful.

Bluefly’s fucking around with us, so it seems. Instead of taking from the credit that’s there, they charged our card $108 at a time when we’re kind of tight due to having to pay the cruise-related expenses. We’ll contact them to see if we can find out why. Meanwhile, I think I know why. Because I badgered them about taking forever to credit me. If this turns out to be the case I definitely won’t order from them again. I mean, how can you call it a sweep if you’re going to charge people’s cards and ignore the credit that’s sitting there right in front of your face that you gave them?

Tom’s still sick but managed to do the laundry yesterday as well as some grocery shopping. Liz checked him out but didn’t say anything like, “Hi, I think your wife’s really hot. Can I have her phone number?”

I wish! But chicks like her are only in my dreams and stories. She’ll be in my range of sight too, though, next weekend.

They’ve been good next door all weekend. I hope it stays this way, too.

Later…

Tom’s getting better, which is good. He tried these new cold pills that are supposed to cut colds down from 7-10 days to just 3 or 4. Well, it did shorten it, but he said he felt so bad on Saturday and Sunday that he’s not sure it was worth it. I guess getting better faster means having a more kick-ass cold with these pills.

He went to the store after work and saw Liz, though her line was too long. I wonder if she’s gone full-time. She seems to be around more lately, but that’s ok with me!
