I’m sorry about your dreams. I hate when mine are confusing like that.

I think Chip is getting used to the place, even if he isn’t used to me! It will come. Eventually.

I wish I could raise and lower the blind in the living room, but the previous tenant’s son fixed that. He removed the cord that allowed for the raising and lowering of the entire blind. So Chip can’t sit in the window without damaging the slats.

I need to shower, too. You could find out how much a new blind would be. Lots of new ones don’t have a cord: you just push up or pull down, and it stays.

Elen says she wants a backpack for heavy-duty hiking, so I got her a gift card from REI, after looking over the prices on their website to decide a reasonable amount. (A Scout is Thrifty.)

Now there’s just Bill, and I’ll order something for him once he confirms his address. I know he gets letters, but the package order didn’t like the way the address was given: he said it’s Queens, NY, but they want it to be Astoria, NY. I’ll see what he says.
