Went to Goodwill earlier. I swear one could use them alone just to collect stuff! You just never know what goodies they’re going to have, and we hadn’t been there since before the trip. I got a gold figurine of a rat that’s fairly large and a small parrot figurine that goes perfectly with the larger one I got in Florida.

I also got an 18” vinyl doll with a nice face and well-sculpted hands. I replaced her drab outfit, but need to re-wig her or get her a hat or something. Her hair is totally trashed. Like someone grabbed a pair of scissors and started chopping in random spots.

So yesterday they spent hours tearing up the yard at the house that sold, and today the house across the street had a bunch of people over who appeared to be hauling away a couch and some other items. She’s a little too company-happy, but please don’t tell me she’s getting ready to move too! Really, why are so many houses going up for sale all of a sudden?

Haven’t seen Hazel in ages now. I’m guessing that if she’s still alive she’s been moved to a home somewhere. She was pretty out of it last I knew.

Anyway, I wonder what they’ll plant in place of what they removed? Whatever it is, I’m sure I’ll have to hear all about it. I wish they’d at least make quiet weekends mandatory. We hear enough shit during the week.

The good news is that I had a win-dream. Yes! I would always win something following a dream about winning back when I was last at it, though I wouldn’t usually win what I dreamed of winning. I just hope it’s a good sign! The first is right around the corner, the most likely time for your name to be drawn.

In the dream, I won a huge coffeemaker that could serve many people at once. I told Tom that if we didn’t get to take in the foster kids we were expecting to take in, we’d sell it, LOL. Never saw myself getting affidavits notarized or anything like that, but it’s a hopeful sign just the same.
