The people in the end room left Sunday and both rooms next to us were empty till last night. For nearly two hours this morning, there was banging from both rooms, then they left. Hopefully, they’re not coming back either if they’re going to be that bangy.

My parents will soon get a handwritten letter from me, but I’m not sending anything else until we get either the printer that’s on backorder or something else. Besides, I don’t want to give them the wrong idea by writing too often. Sure I’m really grateful to them, but we’re never going to be buddies, so to speak. They’re still people I don’t like.

Tom got a huge chunk of dead skin out of my ear yesterday. No wonder it had been driving me crazy for so long! Ironically enough, though, the dead skin came loose right as I began praying for God to help Tom get it out. I swear, though, if it isn’t my ear, it’s my teeth! When am I ever going to be able to go more than a week in my life pain-free???

After being 3 months late, Netwinner finally sent an email letting me know my debit card was on its way. This one has a support number available 24/7, which is good.

The horseracing thing is still looking promising, according to Tom, and we’re going to test it out for real this weekend. I’m both dreading it and excited at the same time. I dread it because I fear it’s just another tease on us, and I’m excited because the test results he’s done on it have shown serious consistency for a change on higher-paying bets. His main concern is the weather. January’s the worst time for racing.
