As I mentioned recently, I had a dream that Tom got a raise. Well, they did in fact announce that he is going to get a raise but we don’t know yet how much it’s going to be. 

They worked on the house across the street for a little bit yesterday, but now I don’t think they’re working on the trellis that extends over their porch. It looks like he painted these wooden planks white and framed the windows with them. The old shutters are still sitting down beside the house, though, so I don’t know what they’re going to do next. I’m sure that if they don’t do something, someone else around here will and I’ll have to hear all about it. 

It has otherwise been peaceful and the weather has been summery. I love it. The only thing I don’t like about the warmer weather is that I can hear the car stereos blaring down the freeway, especially between 6 PM and midnight. I still don’t understand why these things are allowed to be legal year after year. It’s sad that so many people feel the need for such attention. I just can’t imagine feeling so neglected by society that I would be willing to spend hundreds of dollars just so people I don’t even know can notice or hear me. Perhaps counseling is the key instead of disturbing the peace just because the law allows you to do so. Really, just because we can doesn’t mean we should. And just because something is allowed doesn’t mean it’s correct or okay. 

Tomorrow I go to the dentist to have the permanent crown put on my back molar. Since the warmer weather has woken up the spiders along with the attention seekers, we’re going to bomb the place while we’re out. After the dentist, we’ll probably go out to eat and do a little shopping.
