Some Updates

Biking: we've gone three days in a row! My bottom hurts quite a bit less than it did on Monday. I still can't jump up a curb or ride with no hands.

Jogging: I've only gone 4 times this summer, but I DO feel guilty about not going.

Jobs applied for:

11. Compliance Specialist
11.1 Compliance Specialist again, after they revised the job description
12. Paralegal Specialist
13. Paralegal Specialist
14. Clerk
15. Secretary
16. HR Assistant
17. Temp Agency

It seems like WAY more than 17. I'll never to get to 100!

The Neighborhood:
Rattail's family is being evicted from their 2-bedroom townhome, with all 5 kids and 3 puppies. I got the dirt on them last night from their next door neighbor. Now, they seem totally happy with their life, but to me this is very undesirable:
* each of the 5 kids has a different father (even Destiny and Serenity, [who in my mind I call "SERENITY NOW!" a la Seinfeld] who look almost like twins).
* the parents are very proud of having 5 kids, because they get the max welfare benefits
* 10-year old Rattail has to babysit Destiny, SERENITY NOW! and 2-year old Teensy all day long so the unemployed parents can enjoy their unemployment all day long. Rattail is lectured on "having responsibilities"
* the kids are often up until 1:00 AM. I've gone outside at midnight and seen Rattail walking his puppies, inexplicably making them pee on the gravel right next to someone's house rather than taking them out back to the huge grassy area)

So, I wish them the best of luck AND I hope the next renters are quiet, polite, with no kids, and that they never park in my driveway.

Also, our next door neighbors are missing and a different family moved in with their baby for two nights and then disappeared without a trace. Mysterious.

That mean squirrel:

I saw it yesterday, crazily attacking the tree next to my driveway. I didn't approach, so it didn't have the chance to chase me.
