Saw a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral! I heard a voice and thought it was awfully late (11:00 p.m.) so I checked the cam and saw four people at the foot of the honker’s driveway. I asked myself WTF they were doing at this hour and then remembered the rocket launch mentioned in the park group. A nice woman in her 20s or 30s (his daughter?) showed me where to look. I saw the same red streak another “parker” mentioned seeing earlier that they couldn’t figure out till someone told them it too, was a rocket launch. I saw the streak and it was only for a few seconds but it was cool. You could hear a faint sound too and every dog in the neighborhood that I didn’t realize existed was stirred up by it so I’d say that no, dogs aren’t pets here either unless they have to be. Fortunately, neither could be heard in the house but I can just imagine the racket Jessie heard being so much closer!

In the dark, it was hard to tell who was who. There was a young guy in his late teens or 20s, someone else I can’t be sure of, and what I thought might have been the honker but they seemed a little thin to be him so I don’t know. The voice wasn’t quite right either. The honker kind of sounds like Tom Hanks.

Since I’m doing the entry I didn’t expect to do tonight, and since premium Nature Sound users get to play two sounds at once, I settled on Underwater and Washing Machine when I’m sleeping during the daytime because the washing machine adds a gentle tapping sound that will help drown out any sounds Tom makes. Oh, to be in a bigger house again! With such a small house he’s still relatively close to the bedroom even when he’s further away from it but it will never happen. I really think this is our forever home. I still have mixed emotions about that but there is more good than bad to it. We’re not in some dilapidated dump, a dangerous neighborhood, or a place as noisy as the last one.

I slept a little better but even after 9 hours of sleep and a good sleep score, I was still exhausted and had to nap. Really hope my thyroid isn’t crashing again! Maybe it’s the yeast infection. Got through half of my day with no burning or itching, but now I’ve got a bit of burning. I still wonder if I’ve got more than one infection going on or maybe even something else I’m not aware of. I’ll take it up with my new doctors. Oh yeah, that reminds me…gotta let Galileo know I won’t be using them anymore. I’ll miss them so I really hope the new set-up is better and worth the savings.
