I'm sorry to inform the readers of Rachel's journal of this fact: Rachel has passed out. The heat finally got to her. Let's not minimize the situation. Several days of 100+ temps will get to anyone. Then, she had the insane plan to weedeat the yard at noon. Sheesh, hicks can NOT be relied upon to make rational decisions.
I must say, it's good that I showed up when I did. There is one giant hairball that they call a pet, and he seems to run the place. He eats and sleeps and sheds. That's about all I've seen of him. Once, he stood up, like he might do something, but he was just turning over to avoid bed sores.
There is a tiny little thing that just *might* be a pup. It's hard to say. She weighs less than 2 lbs, and sleeps most of the time. Once, she started to pee on the floor, and the whole house woke up at once, like they'd seen a Volkswagon full of clowns pull up outside. Good lord, everyone pees. What's the big deal. Maybe if they'd turn off the TV from time to time, the dog would be better supervised.
Although I've seen little movement from the "people" in the house, food seems to disappear at an alarming rate. The chairs at both computers are always warm, and the screen savers rarely come on. I don't know how that's possible, since they all do little more than fart and roll over. The history menu is full, and the computers are whirring constantly, yet no educational or informative content can be found.
Anyway, I'm glad I got here when I did. When they called for a Nanny, I thought that there were children that needed tended. There are no children here. There is a boy who is at the brink of manhood, but when he arrives from a hard day at work, he adopts the same lifestyle that the other "adults" here have. Sleep, fart, and roll over.
Maybe I can reform them. Maybe I can put some structure into this house. There is a rumor that the children will arrive this coming weekend, but I'm not sure what will come of them. Honestly, I'll have to stay on, or risk the guilt of seeing two promising young ladies turn into....well....this mess that I have witnessed today.
God help us all.
