So this is Mary’s last night in jail! I’m sure she’s having a hard time sleeping tonight, not that I can blame her!

Yesterday I heard the puppy squealing when I was out hanging sheets. It was nothing that could be heard indoors with the cooler running, but it would be obnoxious in the winter.

I’m sooo glad we never got offered a puppy! Not just because we don’t have an enclosed yard which is the biggest issue, but after spending so much time wishing other people would shut their dogs up, why would I want to have to deal with my own dog making a racket as well? Getting others to take care of their dogs takes enough time and work. It took 4 months to shut Jesse’s up, and like I said before, I can’t believe they’ll never be an issue again. Especially when the weather cools down.

I quit praying for God to help Tom get a job since praying just to be ignored really does get old. Someone said He’d do what’s in our best interest, but I’m not sure how unemployment can be in our “best interest.”

We aren’t that bad off, though, since I do plan to make a small retail order of incense in the next couple of weeks. I miss having a bigger variety of scents. I’ll get some oldies that I love, plus try some newbies as well.

I’m currently 34% through Portuguese 102 with a 94% accuracy rate.
