I can’t make any promises, but I’m determined to at least make a little progress on my new book today. Jesse was amazingly quiet yesterday. Hopefully, today will also lack barking and loud vehicles so I can concentrate. That is after I run these poor little joints ragged again on the treadmill. Ah, but it still feels so good and brings such comfort to know I could probably catch any potential mugger out there. Then when I do I will be sure to strangle the fucker with the straps of the purse they thought they could swipe from me. :)

I woke up perkier both physically and mentally than I had been waking up the last couple of days and so it’s nice to be happier and not so sluggish. Fuck the Nane’s of the world. :))))) Meinem Welt ist besser onhe ihr (My world is better without her). And no more being the “punctual” friend who responds to certain emails right away. For once I think I’ll make people wait on me and maybe I’ll take days or weeks or maybe even months to get back to people. Wir werden sehen. :)

Yeah, I’m convinced that Maliheh has “set” the time frames as far as when she emails me goes. It’s got nothing to do with her health or her schedule. It’s got to do with her consciously deciding to keep me at arm’s length and only contact me once or twice a month.

Ich bin kalt (I am cold)! Oh, how I long to be in Florida now, but even if we suddenly had a ton of money, Tom’s not 55 yet and there’s no way I want to live in mainstream Florida. Well, I don’t want to live in the mainstream anywhere. That’s why we’re out in the boonies.

Anyway, the Unemployment rate in California is now the lowest it’s been since 2009, so that’s good. It’s also continuing to be nice here in the afternoons. Nice enough not to need any heat during some of the daytime, but right now it’s freezing! It says it’s 46º but it sure seems colder.

Buon giorno a tutti!
