Mary’s release date has now been pulled back to 11/17/12. How excited she must be! But I can also imagine how she must feel that next November is so frustratingly far away. She still has about a year left to go after all and that’s quite a while. It may be nothing compared to a decade but it’s enough.

I still worry about whatever’s up there that finds it oh so important that we spend the bulk of our lives dirt poor. We’re getting ahead and it’s pissing it off. Sure seems that way anyway. First the PayPal thing and now the windshield.

PayPal is ignoring Tom and so he’s sending what will be his second out of three messages before we shut our PayPal account down if that’s our only option in the end. No sense in keeping an account we can’t put money in since we’d only be ripped off if we did. We clearly said on our auctions No Returns. Therefore they can’t just suddenly decide they want their money back a couple of months later.

Andy told Tom to look for a glass junkyard, saying that he got a used windshield in Phoenix for $20 and free installation but we can’t find any around here. You know how it is for us, though. We never get any breaks in life. So it’s still going to cost us around $200. Then we just have to hope that no other unexpected surprises spring up on us to cost us a couple more hundred and then a couple more and a couple more… Or that he’s laid off anytime soon.

Of course we prefer him not to be laid off but if they keep him another few weeks we should have enough money saved to get us through till April so long as we work online more than we have been. I’ve been concentrating full-time on my writing which the uptick in book sales has helped to encourage. The economy is a little better but I don’t think it’s back to where one can usually get a job within just a couple of weeks. It took just two weeks when we went to Oregon and two weeks when we first came to Cali, but if he got laid off now, more than likely it would take months to find something new.

I feel so accomplished and unaccomplished in life. I’m not accomplished career-wise or financially, but I’m accomplished personally and intellectually. Even physically. I ran 13 minutes and walked off the last 17 after doing my arms and abs. My metabolism is definitely speeding up and my weight is going down, once again reminding me that walking isn’t enough unless you can walk all day long. At least not for me. I really have to get my heartbeat up and to the point of near hyperventilation. Oh, the way my calves still burn when I run! Hopefully, that’ll ease up soon, but I’m definitely able to run longer and am less out of breath when I stop. I could probably run the entire 30 minutes, but I don’t want to do that just yet. I want to add a minute a day and slowly build myself up to it. It takes a lot longer than one may think to condition the body. You’ll notice changes right away but the rest takes time and the more you get in shape the more you need to challenge yourself. Those professional runners that run over 10 MPH for hours took years to get to that point. I don’t care to run that long that fast, but I hope to run a half-hour 5 days a week and maybe even bump my speed up from 4 to 5 MPH if my joints can take it.

I was sweaty and exhausted when I finished my workout but feeling good. :) Love the feel of the cool shower hitting my body afterward and massaging lotion into my feet.

Andy was excited because I may have the cure for the common cold as he put it, LOL. I told him to scald his throat with the hottest tea or coffee he could stand once he felt a sore throat and the onset of a cold. Colds usually start in the throat, so if you can kill the virus right at the source you should be ok.

The fucking tub is dripping again, but fuck it. As long as we don’t lose our propane, I don’t care about Jesse’s water.

We’re on for rain tonight and tomorrow just when I was beginning to wonder if it would ever rain again here. I heard the wind chimes start clanking out there but they’ve since stopped. Oh, here they go again.

The troll spent an hour and 43 minutes on my blog today and just came back. Isn’t it kind of late for her? Alison messaged me and apparently, even the assistant COP is ignoring her. Yeah, that’s the pigs for you. I was hoping that since Texas laws/punishments tend to be overly harsh like Arizona’s and just as backward by concentrating more on those that do little more than piss people off with shit they don’t want to hear, as opposed to those who actually harm or steal from people, that they would at least have the decency to check it out. But to not even reply to her messages is both rude and unprofessional. As I’ve said a million times before, I’d trust my own self up against a burglar or something like that before I ever put my trust in the pigs. If Aly were black and they could know that, then maybe they’d at least question the fucking nut.

I also got a view from Phoenix, Arizona and gave their details to Aly to see if they matched the one on her logs that was coming around every day and a suspected Molly fan. They only viewed one page and since they landed on one of my entries, they probably linked in from Facebook or Twitter since you would have to click through my profile page or other pages of my account to get to that entry. They could’ve jumped in from the public blog section but I would think that entry would be many pages away from the front page by now.

Got one view and one view only on OD yesterday. I’m kinda surprised cuz it does seem to be an active enough site.

Am I imagining it or did the “send message” button really disappear from Nane’s page? LOL, I can still send messages by replying to previous messages. There’s no doubt in my mind that she was/is playing with me. Well, she’s welcome to go and fuck herself. :)
