I decided to give the 88s another try, only slower this time. I took an 88 this morning because I’m sick of the hypo symptoms. It’s getting harder to keep my weight down, and sooner or later I’m going to lose the battle and gain some more. I’m only taking one 88 this week. Next week I’ll take two and then the week after, I’ll make a second attempt to tolerate three 88s a week. This will tell me if it really caused my anxiety the last time or was just a coincidence just like with the brand thing.

We’ve been in this house for five months today and we finally took the bikes out yesterday. Bike riding is so much easier here than in NorCal! But you still get a good workout. It was tons of fun, and I would do it again today if I weren’t so tired. I was up just over 18 hours, which always leaves me tired the next day. I’m surprised I got a sleep score of 91 because I know I woke up three or four times.

It’s nice to have a “smart” kitchen again. It took him a while but he made the light switch in the kitchen smart. I guess the size of it wasn’t ideal. He’s also going to make another light in the kitchen smart later on.

So like I said, we’ve been here 5 months now. It’s great to finally be in a place where I’m not constantly saying how much I can’t wait to get the fuck out. While it would still be nice to be near Jessie and have a bigger place with a washer and dryer in it, I don’t know if I’ll want to move. Small or not, this house is ideal in many ways and I love not having houses surrounding all four sides of us. I’m sure it’ll change, though. Things always get worse, so I don’t expect the peace to last forever. If they don’t build something in back of us, we’ll get the wrong neighbors in time. I don’t expect Toni to go anywhere anytime soon, but across the street could get worse, and if something’s wrong with the people next door that they haven’t been here this winter, it could get sold to problematic full-timers. As I’ve learned the hard way, complaining isn’t usually a good solution. It just gets you spited and makes things worse. Besides, what I might consider noisy doesn’t necessarily mean they’re doing anything wrong. It does say in the rules that you can’t have parties that can be heard in other people’s houses, but they can do all the home improvements they want. And if their dog has a few quick barking spurts throughout the day, they’re technically not doing anything wrong as long as it’s in the daytime. For now, though, I’m really enjoying how much quieter it is here than in the other place. One major project in five months is a serious improvement from the other park. The main annoyance is the planes. The commercials have been quieter due to Omicron, but there was a swarm of small planes yesterday that was annoying. But do I really want to go where it could be noisier and we’d be at more risk of hurricanes and flooding?

Yesterday he cast my Quest to the TV so he could see what I was doing as I was doing it. This way he could guide me through Rec Room, which is a little complicated to get established in. I set up a profile and went through the tutorial and all that. Then I finally got to play the bowling game he plays. I suck at it just like golf, but it was fun. Even if I don’t have the energy to work out today, I can still do some golfing and bowling. Maybe play an archery game too? It seems the possibilities are endless with RV.

Can’t wait for my new set of nail polishes. I think it will be good to alternate between polish and stickers. They both have their pros and cons. Polish is so much easier and you don’t have the filing and all that stuff. But it definitely doesn’t last as long, and your designs are limited. It’s nice not having to tug off the stickers even though I have to wait for polish to dry.

I’m kind of pissed at myself for not reading the description carefully on the dolphin diamond painting I got for Jessie. It has those square drills I hate. They are, however, easier to place with this kind of glue because it isn’t as sticky. This way I can position them better.

I used the brush-on sealer for the one I just finished of a seaside town and at first it looked like someone spilled milk on it. I was worried it wouldn’t dry clear, but it did.

I installed this really cool add-on to Chrome called Toucan that translates random words in different languages. Since I’m reviewing the Italian course now, I set it to that. When I do the German, I’ll switch to that.

Tomorrow is beach day! I don’t just want the beach, I need the beach. As long as the summer storms don’t go waking me up more than traffic did at the old place, I can’t see myself ever leaving this state. I can totally see why Nane couldn’t wait to escape Germany in the winter and head down to Turkey or Greece.

Tom got some bottled water to take and I realized how it would make us pee more. But then he reminded me that they do have bathrooms. Yeah, but they’re not just a few steps away either. Therefore, while I would never pee in a pool, would I pee in the ocean? Fish do it all the time, so I don’t see how it could harm anything. I don’t know if I could do that, though. I’m not a kid anymore.
