I decided to go ahead and block Andy because I don't want to prevent friend requests and messages I actually want to receive just to keep him out of the picture, although I have clamped down on who can message me. This way, if anyone wants to send a friend request, they have that option. Besides, 90% of Andy's posts were celebrity-related, anyway.

Another unwanted change on VZfit: they got rid of their radio stations, although they still have an option to play muzak-like shit, and now you have to go through Amazon or Spotify. Technically, you can open YouTube in another window or whatever app you want, but it's a pain in the ass, and it sucks because their radio stations made it easier for me to discover new music. So I decided that the option that seems like it's going to be the least of a pain is Spotify. Amazon doesn't have nearly as many songs available unless you get Music Unlimited. I might even try listening to some true crime podcasts, but I don't know if I'd like that. Listening to audiobooks while I'm coloring is fine, but I like to work out to the beat of music. So I'm building up a little song list on Spotify. I'll just have to remember to check out new releases every now and then to discover anything new I might like to add.

My Merlot candle came, and it's a bust. I couldn't smell hardly anything with it lit, so I had to put it on the warmer to bring out the smell. All I smell are cherries, though. That is a top flavor in this wine, but where's the alcohol smell along with it? If all I wanted were cherries, I would have gotten a cherry candle. Once I get done trying the off-brands I want to try and get that out of my system, I'm definitely going to stick with Mainstays, WoodWick, and YC.

Back to Andy… I had a dream involving his mother, Judy, but I don't remember what it was about. I just got the sense that it was a positive dream.

Another positive dream was us vacationing somewhere once again and having to sleep together because there was only one bed in the room. After a while, I realized, hey, I'm able to sleep with this guy without his every move and sound waking me up. I then wondered if pushing two full-size beds together would equal a king-size and if a king-size sheet would fit over it, LOL.

Although I don't know what it was for, I had been in jail for a few months in the last dream, but I wasn't sentenced yet. I was stressing over my upcoming court date and decided that if they didn't release me, I would release my pent-up rage on anyone and everyone I could until I was restrained, and therefore give them a real reason to keep me in jail.

I finished my book, Them, and next begins the long, arduous task of proofreading and editing. AI tools have really made book writing so much easier. This way, I don't have to proofread and edit nearly as much content. I just talk-type the chapter, have AI correct it, and then I double-check it just like I do with my journal entries. With the fatigue I often have, this is a tremendous help. If I had to write journals by hand like the good old days, I don't know that I could keep up with my thoughts that way anymore. After I get this book finished and published, I'll finish editing old stuff before beginning anything new.

As I suspected they would, they returned yesterday to Ray's place, but didn't install any more windows. It seems like only one guy came this time. I saw him pull a caulking gun from his truck, and we heard hammering on the other side of the house. Then, when Tom was out doing laundry, he saw the guy filming the windows as he walked around the house. Now that I'm up most of the day, I really hope to hell they just get it over with and finish this project so I don't have that hanging over my head when I start sleeping in. I don't want to feel like I'm back in Phoenix. I hate having people living so close to me!

Anyway, I have decent enough energy to go out to the dollar store this morning. It's been days since I've been out, so I'm definitely ready to get out and get some fresh air and sunshine, even though it's chilly out now.
