12/20/21: Watered the 3 interior plants. Circuit break 24 to the fridge was NOT tripped. I moved the thermostat at 73 degrees to help mitigate the higher humidity. This is common during this time of year with the milder temperatures outside.

12/20/21: Walked the house twice to ensure the water faucets were off to all showers, tubs, and sinks. The humidity is very high inside the home.

There is a freshly dug and active armadillo hole in the landscaping just off the right corner of the lanai (if you are standing inside the lanai), photo below.
