Today’s Business: 2009-10-16
Friday, October 16th, 200905:40 AM: [Jack] left me a message, saying that a fellow whom I’d call a key bully on one of the online forums in which I’ve been participating, was just deleted. This is great news because this person’s crude and intentionally nasty treatment of others was a big reason I left that voice mail system. Hmmm. Maybe I’ll go back once I’m sure tha this person is gone for good. I did have lots of fun there debating the issues there over the summer. But I’ll probably not return any time soon however, as there are several others out there that behaved very badly as well, and who engage in activities that I’d not even consider doing myself. Besides, I’m too busy these days with the projects around here to hang out on a chat line all day. If I would ever get back on a chat line, I’d like to find one where people behave less abusively and that I have more in common with.
07:50 AM: I’m up. On the Wheelchair Ramp Project: Dick Mayhue just called to say that he’s on his way over with more stone. Today, he’s bringing a driver with him to bring more shale in while he operates his bobcat to spread what’s already here. This should save some time. I’m hopeful we can get all the gravel delivered and spread today.
08:00 AM: The current temperature is 35 degrees and the weather appears to be the same as yesterday; gray with a rain, sleet, and snow mix, and we have around a half-inch of snow accumulated on the grassy areas.
o8:14 AM: Time to get Mom up and give her her morning meds.
09:12 AM: Gave Mom her meds, unloaded the dishwasher, washed the crock pot from last night’s meal, and cleaned the cats’ litter boxes; a rather non boring startup routine for the day, would yo not say? 
Next, I’m going to trudge over to the drug store and get her more lancets.
10:45 AM: Just got back from the drug store. Purchased more lancets for Mom and some iron pills as well.
02:50 PM: The workers outside left for today. I’ve paid them all that they were owed for their gravel hauling and spreading work done thus far for the Wheelchair Ramp Project.
04:30 PM: Just watched yesterday’s episode of The Young and the Restless. Now, after that, I think I’ll take a nap.
07:30 PM: Reminded nephew Garrett about the DJ wedding gig I have coming up next weekend. He’ll be transporting the equipment and me to and from the reception site.
08:00 PM: Just finished cleaning up from supper. I had 12 Oz. of salmon, seasoned with lemon pepper, and some raisins for dessert and some diet caffeine free Pepsi.
09:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless.
10:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy].
11:15 PM: Gave Mom her bedtime meds, and I’m going to bed myself, right now. Good night.
