Wow, that was wild! I just watched Tom drive off in the truck for the first time in over two years! He’s gone to do the laundry. A lot more of it than he could take on the bike, like our comforters and things like that.

I had what I hope was a dream signaling a big win to come, even though he’ll tell you I don’t have dream premonitions and that I’m only an influencer. I dreamt I looked out back and saw my folks. I stormed out there and shouted, “What the fuck are you doing here?” 

My dad turned to me as if all had been just dandy over the years and called out “Jodi Lin!” in the jovial way he sometimes used to. Then I noticed the shiny new car and thought it was theirs at first until I realized it was too ordinary to be theirs. Why would they have just a 25K car? Then I saw 2-3 boxes the size of a refrigerator and he said, “Yeah, you won big this time.”

I said, “Well, how did you get in the picture? I don’t remember you being on any entry forms.”

Then he said, “You’ve got 400-500 more packages coming.”
