Catherine finally got the tubal ligation she's wanted for years. It's ridiculous that they place so many roadblocks in the way. We don't have real freedom, it's an illusion.

We finally acquired a truck! It's a 1969 Dodge. I'd like to strangle the fragrance people. We can't get the air freshener smell out of it. The truck cab is almost gutted and the stench remains. It is strongest where the air freshener was hanging. We're going to give alcohol a try, which means wiping everything down again. If that doesn't work, maybe acetone? We can't use anything that doesn't evaporate completely and so far non toxic cleaning methods haven't worked.

Wish us luck.
