Got my worst sleep score yet of 83 yet I had enough energy to do both strength training and cardio. The freeway, planes, and people’s barking mutts really do know how to spoil an otherwise peaceful walk, don’t they? The commercials are getting annoying as fuck again in the early mornings. I swear we are so done with this shit when we get out of here!

Tom showed me a video demo on Acoustablok, and wow! It’d cost a couple of grand to soundproof a room when we get settled, but since the law isn’t going to do the right thing and make vehicles quieter and ban boom car stereos, it will be totally worth it. Besides, there are other sounds that have been around forever that can get annoying. I would be interested even if I always slept at night. If we do stay in Florida, it would be a great way to be able to sleep through thunderstorms.

Yesterday was kind of a wasted day because I was not only tired but also sick with heartburn and nausea. The crab cakes I had were either too greasy or just bad somehow. Luckily, it’s now worked its way out of my system. Still feel a little nauseous when I eat, though.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m getting early Alzheimer’s even though it would be highly unusual. When your husband tells you that you accidentally left the burner on the stove, along with all the other shit you’ve been forgetting, it really makes you wonder. Sometimes I can’t even fucking speak right. As much as I have a great knack for beating the odds when it comes to bad things, I sure hope not!

Not impressed with the first set of Prime Day nails I got but hey, they were just $7. This one includes 7 sets. If you have wide nails that are longer than I’m willing to let mine grow, the designs will show up better. I’m learning that certain designs definitely need more space in order to be able to decipher what they are. Just like with the ocean scene from another brand, you can’t tell that there are waterdrops on a gradient background. They still look cool but I’m not going to get this brand again. They’re too big for me and need to be trimmed down and are the thinnest strips I’ve ever worked with which means they tear easily and don’t hide ridges. You could practically tear the ends off without filing them but in doing so you get jagged edges. The flower design won’t be evident on my nails either. The water droplets mostly look like random splashes of blue, pink and purple which is still nice.

It’s too soon to judge the Merlot shampoo. You can see traces of a deep coppery red on top of my head, but I don’t know that it’s going to do a good job covering the gray. It might be best to stick with traditional dye, but I don’t know yet.

My right forearm had a rash when I stepped out of the shower, but it didn’t hurt and it cleared up in just a few minutes.

Next door had their garage light on all night. Still have no idea what’s going on over there and I still hope she doesn’t move before we do.

Walmart made subs even easier. Now we not only get to tell them what they can sub but they give you a list of choices and you can either choose something or tell them not to sub it at all. Now they just have to stop begging for tips!

The critical virus cases are climbing lightning fast and we realize that even though it would be easier on us, it may not be safe to fly out of here. If the vaccine isn’t available by the time we’re ready to move, we certainly wouldn’t want to sit on a plane for 6 hours with masks on. Besides, no one could keep it on continuously since they would want to eat and drink at some point. It would be much easier for me to fly and I know he hates driving, but we may have to drive there to keep safe. No way to know for sure until it gets close to moving time which way we’re going but it’s 50/50 at this point. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if we couldn’t fly because that’s what I want. Like things would really go my way?

We would still go through Nebraska because I-80 is the best route to take at that time of year. That’s the freeway that goes by our house. If we were moving in the winter, then it would be best to go across the southern states. I would love to finally meet my cyberfriend of 12 years but there’s just no way to know for sure at this time what things will be like in another 6 months or so. Both options have their pros and cons, and I don’t want to get my hopes up for either one.

We sure went to see her in my dreams! We would never show up anywhere unannounced, but we did more than that. She was napping on the couch in her living room and we decided to let ourselves in and make ourselves comfortable until she woke up. She was curled up on one end of her couch with her knees drawn up, giving Tom room to sit on the other end of the couch. I was slowly walking around since I’m the restless type.

Then she slowly started waking up and squinted sleepily at us. “Recognize me?” Tom asked with a smile.

“Tom?” she said.

We both nodded and I said, “Yeah, it’s really us! We’re here!”

Angrily, she said, “Oh, no. No, no, no,” and then she jumped up and ran into another room. We waited for a few minutes and then I decided we should probably leave. So we stepped outside, me being surprised at how similar the weather seemed that day compared to back in NorCal.

LOL.

Aly is such a bullshiter. But that’s okay. I’m bullshiting right back. She found my private account and blocked it. I don’t know why, but it really bothers me when people block my accounts. Especially when they do it just so they can have their fucking “privacy” while still being public.

More than likely, after the stupid moment I had where I messaged Molly pretending to be someone else, Molly told her about it and then Aly used a paid search to find my email was still plugged into it. I knew I should have pulled the damn email out! I may have been too late, though. Once it’s been used to create an account, it may not matter if it’s ever changed or not.

I totally believe she has a monthly plan where she pays about 15 bucks to look for people’s social media accounts and God knows what else. I’m almost positive that’s what she meant when she told Molly she could always find out who was behind whatever account was harassing her. Someone was posing as a celebrity she’s a fan of. Also, who knows how many sites Aly may have hacked if she knew she could get away with it.

So even though Aly is usually too smart to fool, I claimed that someone used a couple of my email addresses to create a couple of accounts with and then her newest Twitter account that’s not connected to Molly disappeared and that’s when I figured I only made things worse and convinced her all the more that my private account was indeed mine and that I was aware of her new account. I ended up deleting the account and creating a new one. I signed up with my phone number and pulled it out immediately, so we’ll see how long it remains a secret.

I woke today to find Aly’s account back up so maybe she’s not sure what to think. That is unless she hacks my journals. I probably should have not only not message Molly but kept my mouth shut altogether. I don’t want to really get into lying to someone I consider a friend after all. That’s her department. In fact, before she edited a message to me, she claimed she hasn’t had a reason to do a paid search but again, I’m almost positive that’s bullshit.

Looks like she’s really getting fed up with Molly, not surprisingly. I told her she would never be a true friend any more than Kim ever would be. She tweeted: Bad things happen to everyone. Frequently trying to tear me down or remind me of things I have that you don’t that are out of my control helps no one and makes me much less likely to be there for you in the future.

I know Molly has made her feel guilty in the past for still having a mother.

She also tweeted: I know exactly who my friends are and who I can trust and respect. Just because you’re in my life doesn’t mean we’re friends. As they say, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer!

Again, I’m almost certain this is pertaining to Molly. They now only keep in touch on Fitbit and through texting.

She also shared a meme she said she could relate to about those only being there when they needed her for something and tweeted: The fact that I can relate to this right now means I need to take a step back and rethink who I should really include in my life.

I’m wondering if Facebook did away with mutual blocking which is something they would do. I tried to block an account of Aly’s that she blocked me from, and it won’t let me. She doesn’t appear to have used the account, though, since 2012.

She also tweeted: Everyone reaches their boiling point on certain subjects, well I’ve skyrocketed past mine on tolerance of those who think badly of the BLM movement. You know what? The world isn’t black and white, idiots. You can’t blame everyone within any type of group for the acts of some.

I’m probably one of the ones she’s bitching about there but that’s where she’s too sensitive. Getting all hot and bothered over things people do such as taking away people’s rights is one thing. But getting upset over people’s opinions is another. If you’re going to be upset over the fact that some people are going to have a different opinion on different things, you’re going to have a hard life.

I’m setting alarms for the next 4 nights…3:30 a.m, 5:30 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 9 a.m. I find if I do that, I don’t wake up looking at the time as often. I still don’t expect to sleep until 9 a.m. on appointment day, though.
