John flew to Dallas for the next 4 days. Starting watching the TV series Hannibal.

Tuesday

Made it through to the next round in last night’s competition. They let the top 5 of the 10 through but 2 of us tied for 5th place (one was me) so they let 6 go through. I made it!

Vacation day from work today.

Worked in the yard. Cleaned up the patio. Bought plants for some flower pots…herbs and blood flower.

More Hannibal.

Friday

Huge thunderstorm at 5am this morning! Knocked a big tree limb from the neighbor’s tree into our yard. Back to work. Subway for dinner.

Saturday

Bought a leaf blower, and an electric chainsaw to take care of the tree limb. Grocery shopped at the new Aldi’s that just opened in our neighborhood this week. Went for ice cream at Baskin Robbin’s. Had a late comedy show in Belleville, IL at a gay club called Club Escapade. It was a pride fundraiser for their annual pride festival. Great show!
