You may have noticed my "weight loss ticker" change. Well. I have gained all the weight back and am starting anew. Many curses come to mind. But in honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day (Sept. 19th! Onlt 21 days!), I have changed the ticker to become more appropriate. Arrrrg!
I once again have water. My landlady must have filled up the tank because I have lots of water pressure, etc. It makes me happy. I also scouted out a possible new swimming location... hehehehehehe....
I ran many errands today in the Jolly Roger. Trash went to the dump, movies went to the store and food came home. It's good to be the Captain of my own ship.
Then tonight I sat out on my hammock-chair in the dark, listening to the frogs. There is a small (and I mean SMALL) stream of water just below my cabin. I'm looking forward to seeing how much it grows this winter. I listened to the frogs, crickets and finally the water itself. I heard moths fly by and could swear to hear lizards crawling through the tall grass, it was so quiet out there. Bats flew by, eating insects.
I have been wanting to leave my door open at night, but since living in the city for so long, it's hard. But tonight I just may. Today was a pretty warm day and even at a quarter after ten in the evening with the door open, it's warm in here. So I might just make sure the screen is latched and leave the door open tonight. It's hard to do even though I feel very safe.
I think I've been watching too many western movies and reading too many western books lately. I'm in the midst of reading "Lonesome Dove", one of my favorite books. I'm starting to think like a western novel. I'm afraid I'll start talking like it next.
Well, time for some shut-eye. I best be gitt'n in t'bed....
Yarrrr!!! It's almost the same as Pirate talk, just a different accent! I'm doomed!

I miss the sound of frogs at night. I grew up hearing that, and I wish I lived where it was quiet enough to hear the evening sounds--but I'm afraid I'll never get to hear them again since Ryan always insists that we sleep with a fan on. Then all I hear is fan. I am not a fan of the fan!!
I like the new ticker. :)
I think it'll be hard to convince Apollo it's ok to sleep with windows or doors open, even if we're baracaded behind a twelve foot stone fence. The city life has ruined him.
