Tom was nice enough to hook up a microphone, enabling speech-to-text to hear me better. I have the laptop under the little stand the monitor is on, and it’s partially open. I don’t really have any other place to put it where it wouldn’t be annoying and in my way. This means that it only hears me well if I’m talking loudly or bent down toward it. So, the microphone is very helpful.

I made eggplant Parmesan earlier and it came out OK. Later on, it was tilapia.

All I remember from my dreams was visiting Jesse’s trailer, but of course, it didn’t look anything like it really did. I said I missed country living, and in reality, part of me does. When I think about the prospect of not having much money for the rest of our lives, the only thing that bothers me about it is not having options. I love that we should always have what we need. That’s most important no matter what. But I would like to know that if we did want to move for whatever reason, we could. However, I think this is it. I don’t see us having the kind of money to ever give us that option.
