I updated my Oregon blog with the first 6 months we were at the duplex, attached to a nut named Beverly. Next up will be the 4 months we were attached to an even nuttier nut named Patty. I wouldn’t bother reading it, though. All I did was bitch about all the noise and how broke we were, LOL! It seemed that was the highlight of the 10 months we were at this duplex. It wasn’t until after we moved that the big surprise promotion/raise came.

Speaking of jobs, man I hope the dream I had means something! Like most dreams, it didn’t take place here. If anything the place looked like my childhood home, though Jesse was still the landlord. It was late at night when Tom was suddenly getting dressed. I asked him where he was going and he said he got a job. I asked him what the job was and he said he couldn’t tell me. I thought it a bit strange, like maybe it was some secret government job or something illegal, and so I let it go.

I was asleep when he got in the next morning, and up before he got up. I was making coffee when he got up and once again scurried to get dressed. I asked if he was going back to work and what the job was all about. He said he didn’t have time to tell me but promised to fill me in when he got home. I asked if he could at least tell me if it was good money. He said, “Nah, not good money. At least not yet.”

I woke up before he could return to tell me what the job was about. I wish it was a sign that Tom would get a job – any job – soon, but no one’s hiring around here. And when they are it’s usually something he’s not qualified for. They were looking for a manager at Goodwill. He’s got tons of managerial experience, just not in retail.

I finally made 7¢ on Revtwt. Aren’t I just so darn lucky? laughs I think I’ll leave it alone for now. It doesn’t hurt anything and is little to no effort on my part to tweet ads.

There I was accusing those people on Facebook of being in Mountain View, California and not where they said they were, but then I realized that that’s where Gmail’s office is – duh! So I guess if you don’t set up a Gmail profile anyone who runs your email will think you’re in Mountain View, California.

Tom was right. The doll didn’t sell because I listed her too high. Hey, I’m greedy, LOL! Since we’re not desperate for money, but I’d still like money more than that doll and the Nikita doll, I decided to wait till right after the first to relist them at lower prices.

The dogs surprised me yesterday morning. I was writing away at 4:30, realizing it’d be noisy in a half hour. Not wanting to be distracted, I put the sound machine on. As expected, I could hear barking in the bathroom a half-hour later when I went to pee. But then when I went back out in another half hour it was dead quiet. Makes me think someone came in after Jesse left because I can’t believe they’d quiet down that fast that early in the morning. If they start at 5am, they’re usually going non-stop till 7am - 8am.
