13:24 24 October 1997

JD and I just got back from McDonald's. There is a scarcity of food around here that I plan to remedy soon.

I slept until 08:00 this morning; I went to sleep aroun 22:00 last night, and I got a good rest even though I was sleeping on the couch. Tyler offered to give up his bed for me, but I refused. Their counch is really pretty comfy, for a couch. Nothing like my very own waterbed, though, especially with Karen there with me...

Tyler was up 'til past 02:00 this morning, and I was unable to arouse him at 11:00, when I woke up JD, but he was gone when we got back from McD's. JD thinks he went to see one of his girl friends, Ginger, whom I have not yet met. I also hope to meet his other girl friend, Kelly, while I am here this time. Ty hastens to point out that Ginger and Kelly are friends that happen to be girls. Yeah, right, Tyler.

We've spent most of the day goofing off... went to the store, played with the dogs, sat and talked. I'm having an enjoyable time down here. The boys seem to think that we should be out entertaining me or something, but I'm having fun just being here with them.

JD and I cooked up some fish that Lisa had caught last year... it has been frozen ever since then, but it was still pretty good. Amberjack, it was. The fish, I mean. We thawed it in the microwave, then put butter on lemonjuice on it and zapped it some more. That and a can of green beans and a glass of milk. JD said it was the best meal that he'd had for a while... they exist on ramen and peanut butter...

Going to be another early night, I think... Tyler is working, and Lisa is at a rehearsal for a concert tomorrow night. JD and Tyler both work tomorrow evening, so I'll have to entertain myself on this machine...

Good news from JD's insurance company... he will be able to get a new computer, but it has to be the same brand as the one that got stolen - a Packard-Bell. It will be a 200 MZ pentium with a 2.5 G HD, though. So he will come out ahead, even after paying the deductible.

More tomorrow....
