Kind of hurts that I’m quick to follow up with Tammy after she’s had a procedure done and even wish her good luck on the day it’s to be done, and what do I get about the dentist? Not a single word. 

Although it’s been quiet here so far today, I sure woke up on the wrong side of the bed. My jaw is sore, Skype’s not working right, and the water’s been off since I got up at noon. I’m sick of these water games we have to play every 2-3 weeks cuz the park’s too lazy to replace all the old pipes at once! 

Anyway, I tried to pull my ass out of bed earlier, but yesterday really left me exhausted. Plus, I woke up hot flashing at 5am. No racy heart, just very hot. Had to turn the fan on and of course I was cold later on and had to get up again to turn it off. 

Last night I dreamed we moved into a large 2-story house with others like it around us. We were on a corner. The neighborhood sort of reminded me of the second house my parents had in Longmeadow, MA. Only one night the rental next door was being moved into after sitting empty for a while. Naturally, I worried about what we may be in for given our shit luck with neighbors in the past.

I sat in our darkened living room and looked at the house across from us. It too, was a rental, but was also a duplex of some kind. I watched as a bunch of 20-somethings, most of whom were dressed very suggestively, danced around to loud music as they drank like fishes. Both front doors were open and I could see people milling about in the foyer and going up and down the stairs on both sides. 

“We always get surrounded by the damn rentals,” I said to Tom in a frustrated tone.
