I’m lying in bed waking up with my coffee so I’m doing part of this entry on my phone. The whole time I’ve been lying here I’ve done nothing but listen to annoying planes flying around on what would be an otherwise peaceful night. Why is there so much plane activity in this area? I still can’t tell if it’s the same plane circling around or a bunch of planes. The sound fades but never completely goes away, so I’m guessing it’s the same plane circling round and round. Besides, where could so many planes possibly have to go at almost midnight anyway?

A few minutes after midnight I went out for my run. I’d just hit the top of the hill when a white pickup cruised by very slowly and out the back gate. Although I wasn’t worried, I had a feeling I’d see it again.

By the time I got to the front gate about 20 minutes later, there it was coming in the gate. At that hour I figured it was someone that lived here since they had the code to open the gate. Because it was dark I couldn’t see the driver. Sure enough, the truck stopped by me, and although I still wasn’t worried I thought fine, bring it on, cock, and I’ll show you what it’s like to really regret a random decision. Even if I wasn’t stronger, I knew it was likely that I could outrun them, but all I heard was a male voice asking how I was and if I lived there.

“Yes, I do,” I said to the guy, probably in his 50s or 60s judging by the sound of his voice, and he said, “Alright then, have a nice night.”

So he was just concerned and probably curious, too. I don’t look as old as I am any more than I look as heavy as I am. 145 pounds of Bowflex power in a petite package. :-)

The winds were dead calm, so I could hear my music well. The only annoyance was that damn plane that continued circling round and round for an hour or two. I still don’t get what that’s all about.

Then that super loud car passed me right as I approached the back of our house at 12:30.

Three hours later the wind and rain began. It’s supposed to rain for the next few days. Really hope the roof doesn’t leak before we’ve had it redone!

I’ll be getting a pink raincoat and pink plaid rain boots for when I’m out walking in the rain. I should’ve gotten them last fall. I just really didn’t think the drought would end. That’s ok. December and January are too cold anyway.

Got the “broken floor” sticker and I’m not impressed with it. It doesn’t look very 3D and should probably be on a white floor rather than a cream-colored one. Also, the angle of the living room you’re supposed to be looking down at doesn’t look right.
