Reading Appointment with Murder now by Jennifer Jennings. It’s part of the Sarah Woods box set mysteries I’m reading. I’ve always enjoyed Sarah Woods murder mysteries. This is my 13th audiobook this year. I’d be on 15 or 16 by now if it weren’t for our vacation. 

We decided to start with the small bathroom floor to make sure we’re not going to get crap we don’t like or want before ordering designs for the rest of the floors. We settled on pale pink roses growing between large gray oval rocks. 

What we’re not sure of is whether or not they scale the images down for smaller floors, or if they just trim more of the edges of a standard-size picture? 

If this is as cool as I hope it is, I just might be sorry we re-carpeted the place. How cool it would be to do a whole room in a different theme! In one room we could have grass on the floor, trees on the wall, and a bright sunny sky on the ceiling, making it appear as if you were in a forest. In another, we could be under water. We could have a sandbar on the floor, fish on the walls, and when you looked up it would look like you were just under the surface of the water, a bright blur where the sun would be shining. 

Tom said that a woodpecker was beating on the storeroom a couple of days ago and was tremendously loud. So are all the goddamn projects I have to listen to almost every day around here. I thought I’d hear projects about a third of the time. Not two-thirds of the time! 

In fact, I can’t even get any peace at midnight. I don’t know what the hell this was all about, but I just heard this insanely loud vehicle and wasn’t sure if it was a car or motorcycle or what the hell it was. It was revving its engine very loudly. I looked out back and saw a guy quickly walking up the hill motioning for someone to follow him. Then I saw that the engine-gunning vehicle was a car. It followed the guy up the hill and around the corner. Again, I have no idea what that was all about but they must live here since the gates are locked at 7 PM. 

Had a strange ache in my left hand most of yesterday, but so far today I haven’t felt anything odd. 

Went to Walmart yesterday and loaded up on fruits and veggies for the new juicer I’m not so sure I should have gotten. It’s a BITCH to clean, just like people warned me it would be. I also grabbed some bottles with caps and straws to store extras in. 

Was all excited to try the chocolate peanut butter flavored coffee K-cups, but they don’t taste very chocolaty or peanut buttery to me. 

If I don’t start winning again real soon, I’m not renewing my sweep subscription in May. I have mixed emotions about continuing on. I have watched Robo Form Filler get worse and worse and nothing is ever done to fix it. It’s working less and less that I can’t believe it’s just me experiencing this and that the makers of Robo aren’t aware of it. I don’t understand why they won’t do anything about it either. Robo used to work great, but now I have to hotkey in at least half the info needed when filling out forms. Even with macros set up this takes way longer than Robo, which should be able to do it all in just one click. It isn’t just forms it’s having trouble filling out, but the ‘fill and submit’ almost never works either, and saving passcards is useless because I can’t fill and submit the damn info I’ve saved. I just don’t get it. Am I missing something here? 

Sarah did answer a question of mine so I guess she’s not totally ignoring me after all. I asked how often she and Becky would go to the gym they started going to, and she said 6 days a week. 

Last night I dreamed I was either watching the news or being told about a little boy they were searching for in the mountains of Iowa. 

Then I was pointing at a picture of a large woman online and insisting to Tom that she was proof that the so-called diet product they were selling couldn’t possibly work since she was heavy. 

Then Tom was working on some kind of repair or upgrade of someplace we just moved into, though I don’t know where it was. The place appeared to be kind of old. Just inside the bedroom doorway, I could see into the living room and out its window which a tall building lay beyond. Then I realized Tom was now outside in the car waiting for me to go somewhere, so I got up, stepped outside and locked the door behind me.
