The Jes pest gunned his engines on and off today (gee, what a surprise) and to my utter astonishment, has stayed home all day, too. That is unless he slipped out in the truck and it’s just too early for the dogs to go off about it. If he’s working tomorrow, though, he shouldn’t be out into the evening.

Tom is taking a nap now, and I chatted with Marie earlier but didn’t do much else today since it’s Sunday. I figured Jesse would only distract me if I got into anything that involved that much thinking.

If Marie ever is my husband in some future life, I can tell that she would be just as good at Tom with fixing/building things and doing all that “guy stuff” I’d either hate to do or would be totally clueless about.

I also swapped messages with Paul, who might have a job soon. Like me, though, he tries not to get his hopes up too high. The higher you get them up, the harder you fall if things don’t work out. The point? Be a true pessimist at heart like us!

Summer just won’t stick around for more than 5 minutes! It’s warm one minute like it is today, and then it gets cold and wet. Today it was 70º, tomorrow will be 60º, and the next day 50º. And we’re going to have a few nights in the 30s – ugh! I did NOT move here for that! It should at least keep Jesse quiet.
