No wins today. Just a couple of samples. A small beauty bar and tube of moisturizer from Dove, and a coupon for a free box of Cheerios.

They’re coming Monday morning to give us some propane. We’re only getting $100 worth, but that should last a couple of months or more. I thought Tom said he put $117 in when we first got here, but he said no, he put $179 in, and Jesse probably already had $100 in. We agreed that once we need heat, we’ll get most of it through the portables and sic the cost on Jesse. I can’t feel too bad about doing that to a guy who’s got money and who wakes me up enough of the time. Besides, the portables won’t cost as much in electricity as it would cost in propane to heat the place. At least I don’t think they would.

The new diet plan has helped me to cut my calories a bit, but if I go too many hours without eating I get dizzy, so I have to watch my timing. Like I said, I may be dropping in fat right now, but I’m gaining in water, so until my period is done which should be around the 14th if I’m on time, I won’t really see accurate results.

It’s a toasty one out there today at nearly 100º. We’ve got the cooler on high yet it’s 86º in here. Sitting still in front of the fan and with just a sports bra and shorts on, it’s tolerable enough. As soon as the sun sets the temp will drop fast.
