Fortunately, Jesse hasn’t left yet today, so it’s still quiet. Someone must’ve come to see him earlier, though, cuz there were fresh tracks in the mud at the start of the drive that we could see when we went out earlier.

When I awoke at 6:00, I reached over, turned the sound machine off, and could clearly hear that it was raining. Then as it started getting light, I could then clearly see that the rain had turned to snow! Not funny. Not funny at all. Tom sure thought it was, though. It was coming down pretty hard too, in big fat flakes. We got a half-inch or so, maybe less. Fortunately, though, the dusting didn’t last long.

I took some pictures for my folks and Mary, plus some other ones later on after the snow melted. Fire season was already in and so the mountainside was brown when I took the first set of pictures shortly after we moved here, and so I wanted “winter pics” with the grassy areas all green and the leaves thinned, allowing for a better view of the far-off distance.

Sure enough, Jesse just left so now the dogs will be barking for who knows how many hours.

We picked up the mail, then went to the drug store for some incense. They have roll-on oil perfumes for $6 that are awesome, but I didn’t get any of those. We’re too broke to get too many unnecessary things.

Yahoo radio is back to limiting the monthly usage so now I’m experimenting with AOL’s radio. I love and hate it. I hate being only able to skip songs 5 times per hour per station, and I hate the commercials, but it’s opened me up to a whole new variety of music. The custom radio stations like what I used to have with Yahoo can really be limited as far as what they play.

I decided not to bother with a dream journal. A lot of the dreams are just too vague or too complicated to put into words very well, and by the time I’m awake enough to write, I can no longer remember much anyway.
