At last, the rain has come. It was kind enough to hold off until after Jesse got the roof done (he came down just as I was getting up), but the idiot ran out of screws, so he has to come back some other day. He was going to return later in the afternoon after picking his boy up (I’m still not sure if he lives here or not), but that’s when it started raining. Somehow I doubt he’ll get it finished tomorrow, even if it’s sunny. This is not only someone who doesn’t finish what he starts very well but also seems to like to space his visits out.

It rained a soft, gentle rain that was steady for a few hours. It never got over 79º in here, so tonight we’ll need the heat for sure. Or when we get up. I shouldn’t be up too late tonight, so I shouldn’t need it tonight. It’ll be back in the 80s in a few days – yes!

Got my new robe today. It’s way nicer than the other one. It’s softer, better quality and longer, too.

The doll cases weren’t the hard plastic I thought they’d be, but are still very nice. I like how the stand is removable. I want to eventually have all dolls with outfits that can’t or shouldn’t be washed in cases.

So the Candy Striper has decided I’m okay. Not as ok as other past favorite rats have thought I was, but ok enough. The other one still won’t allow himself to be handled. At least he’s going home on his own now. This is because I let him out more often, so it’s not as special to him.
