Ah, I feel much better today. After 3 days of some serious fatigue that was starting to get me down, I got my period. No more water and sore boobies. Speaking of those, the little pea-size lump is still in my lower left breast towards my side, but not growing or changing in any way so I’m not worried about it.

Tom convinced me to get vitamins to help with fatigue on an overall basis.

All was quiet today, though Tom said he heard the motorcycle come and go, not surprisingly. No barking today, but yesterday I had to tell them to be quiet 3 times.

I forgot to say that we figured out that Brandy didn’t accidentally get loose that day we called Maryann, and no, that wasn’t part of the agreement either. Meaning that she and Jesse never agreed on that one. She obviously didn’t want to have to scoop out as much shit so that’s why she let Brandy loose during the daytime, LOL. What reinforced our suspicions was when Jesse never asked if we’d seen the renter’s dogs again.

I heard the ATV right before 10:00 last night, then at 6:00 this morning. I wonder where he could be going on the thing if not to the well, which has been working just fine. Maybe to and from his mailbox? He’s not going further uphill to where he keeps most of his stuff. I can clearly tell that he’s passing through the main drive.

We signed up for a few months of Napster which even we can afford, believe it or not. I don’t have a personalized radio station that lets me rate/ban songs, but there are no commercials and I have unlimited song-skipping.

Got a letter from Mary. It looks like the trial’s finally a go after nearly a decade of Monster playing games.

Got a tease-win, too. The package at least looked impressive anyway. But it was only a water bottle.

We discussed whether or not to get a stationary bike or an elliptical machine and finally decided on a bike. We just don’t know where or when we’ll get it. Probably at either Goodwill or Walmart. Tom found that bike riding helped him the most with losing weight and getting into shape, so I said, okay. We’ll get that then. As long as it elevates my heartbeat and works most of my muscles, it doesn’t matter what it is.

He’s still having trouble getting his weight down, but I think that’s mainly because he’s not exercising. The two really do go hand in hand. For me, diet and exercise have become a way of life. I’m surprised I didn’t get insanely hungry or crave sweets the few days before my period, but I haven’t been too hungry overall. I only had 900 calories yesterday but will have more today. I ran outside today too, but only for 15 minutes. The sun was setting, there was a slight breeze, and it was gorgeous.
