It’s just after 2pm and I’ve been up since 7am. Yet already I’ve heard Jesse come and go twice in the truck and twice on the Harley. How many fucking places could this guy, who’s out of work, possibly have to go?

So right now I’m sitting here wishing we didn’t always have to have one of those “there they go, here they come” neighbors. I’d kill to have mystery neighbors which I had no idea when they left or returned! The only thing that’s improved lately is the barking.

I stupidly asked Nane on Facebook if she’d begun my book yet, and “liked” one of her pictures. So much for ignoring her for a whole month like I originally planned. Not surprisingly, I haven’t heard back from her yet, though there’s no evidence to suggest she’s even been on Facebook since I sent the message. She hasn’t added content to her wall, commented on anything, liked anything, etc.

Got a message from Jessie who’s lost 19 pounds and is down to 120. That’s ideal for her height. She does the treadmill in the morning and works out at night, too. She’s been eating whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and laying low on sugar.

Been having that short of breath feeling again today. I cleaned the bathroom earlier, so maybe the chemicals in the cleaning stuff irritated me, IDK.

I left a message on my parents’ machine saying hi and letting them know that all was well.
