Maliheh checked me out at 2am her time last night. I’m flattered! And oh, how I wonder about her, too. I’m not only curious about what she’s thinking where I’m concerned, but what is her life like? What does she do? Does she live alone? What does she like and dislike?

All the “at” animals come out at night – rats, cats, bats, gnats… Just a casual observation.

Jesse was down yesterday to finish up with the cooler, and sure enough, now he wants to redo our roof. Ugh! There’s always one project after another! I don’t miss renting from a management company, but I miss the days of seeing the landlord just once or twice a year instead of every 2-6 weeks. I guess there’s some kind of thing you just roll onto the roof or that you paint on as a protective coating. He said it shouldn’t leak, but he should do it this winter. Yeah, I figured he’d think of something else to do down here soon enough. I should just be glad it’s summer. He doesn’t work nearly as much on the land at this time of year.

Anyway, Tom helped him out. They communicated with walkie-talkies while Tom worked up here and Jesse worked at the back of the land where the well is located. Between us helping him out and tending to some of the land so he has less to do, I think it’s pretty safe to say he would rather not lose us and risk getting renters in here like what he had before us.

We didn’t know this, but he apparently has a daughter as well. She’s leaving for college down in Long Beach.

Even so, we looked online at land in California, Nevada and Florida, Whiskey chased a fawn, and I did some writing.

I got up around 3am to find a message from Tom saying that the connection had been really bad all night, he was on the phone with our provider 3 times, and each time they gave him a different story. In other words, they don’t care and they’re not going to do anything about it, knowing we have no choice but to continue using them if we want to go online at all since they’re the only providers out in the boonies here. So thanks to whatever’s cursing us financially, he was unable to list anything on eBay, and of course the people who interviewed him wouldn’t dare call to say he’d been hired. So we starve to death in another few months and God gets another damn good laugh at our expense. No biggie, right?

I had house dreams galore last night and a dream about Maliheh supposedly hunting me down to try to kill me. Some of the houses were rural, some weren’t. One I remember in detail was both good and bad. It was bad because it was old and ugly, but good because it was a good size two-story house. Nothing overly big, but sufficient enough.

Later…

Hahahaha, just 12 hours later Maliheh visited my blog again. Wow, that’s 4 times in less than a week!

And now it looks like a friend of hers is visiting since they not only came in from Facebook but are in Lenexa, Kansas. I swear she’s got connections in Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.

Damn, I wish I could see/hear what she says when she talks about me to others!
