The Special K diet is a miracle so far! I’ve lost in 3 days what would normally take me 1-2 weeks to lose…5 pounds. I began at 147 and am now 142. I’m hungry as hell, though it does get easier after a few days. The hunger is worth it for a diet that works this well. To be hungry just to lose 5-10 pounds that only comes right back is a different story. I hope this diet keeps working. That’s another problem I’ve had in the past. They work, but only for a week or two, then I keep dieting, but the pounds stop dropping. So as well as it’s working so far, it’s too soon to know whether or not the results will be short-lived. I used to believe calories were calories no matter where they came from, but maybe I was wrong. There sure seems something rather magical about the combination of the nuts, fruits, and grains in their diet foods.

I wish the Apple cards would hurry up and get here! I want Tom to set up that slot bot because I don’t always have time to rack up as many points as I could as I’m tied up with other things like reading, writing, sweeping, cleaning, movies, etc. I can tell a few people have BOTs and I wish they’d use them more wisely so they don’t end up getting a security code added to the game. With my shit luck, they’ll do that the day he creates my own BOT.

But I know how winning works. Right now they’re hoping we’ll just conveniently “forget” about the Apple cards. Then Tom will have to call and play the where-are-they? game. They’ll pitch some excuse on him, and it’ll be weeks, even months before the cards finally show up.

I also won popcorn samples and a DVD Tom wants to see.

Tom saw a mouse behind the toilet last night that ran into an opening at the side of the bottom cabinet, then probably out of the house through the hole the pipes run through. What is it with all these mice in here? Was it always like this or is this something new since we arrived? Makes you wonder how these trailers don’t get eaten alive by the things! I’m thinking it could be the same mouse and that Tom just didn’t take it far enough away. Well, when it comes up and into the trap tonight, it will just have to wait patiently until Tom can drive it further away tomorrow.

My subscriber said that reading some of my stuff leaves her utterly speechless. Yeah, well, she ought to brace herself because she’s about to read the worst chapter of them all – Valleyhead.
