Log
04:50 AM: I woke up about an hour ago, way earlier than usual, partly because [Emmy] is sharing my bedroom now and likes the temperature warmer than do I. The other part was that I went to bed early last night; sleepy from too many carbs I suspect. Anyway, I’ve been revising and categorizing posts since around 4:00 AM. But I feel sleepy again so I think I’ll head back to bed for a few more hours. Hopefully I’ll be able to fall back to sleep.
09:50 AM: I’m up for the day now.
09:55 AM: Today, we turn on all the Christmas lights for the first time, per the Christmas lighting, 2009 project. So I’ll work outside to connect up all strings to main power. Then I must put away the tools used on the wheelchair ramp project, and sweep away all the sawdust from the porch from where I was cutting and sanding last week.
02:00 PM: All lights connected and looking good, per the Christmas lighting, 2009 project.
03:20 PM: Installed the ramp barriers, per the wheelchair ramp project.
05:00 PM: Today, we got a late lunch from Sheetz.
06:55 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless.
07:00 PM: [Emmy] is listening to the Penguins game, the pre-game show starting right now. I haven’t decided how I will occupy my evening. We were going to attend the tree lighting ceremony in Bellwood. But it’s raining out pretty steadily, and neither of us felt like standing out in that for a couple hours. So, I thanked sister Jojo for the invitation to go with her, but declined as graciously as I could muster.
07:30 PM: Worked the [Emmy's] speakers hum problem. Looks like this humming has been eliminated via the replacement of a faulty capacitor. She’ll be happy about that.
09:13 PM: The Penguins are losing after two periods. So I’ll let [Emmy] listen to the rest of the game by herself, and just blog over here in the office for a while.
10:30 PM: The Penguins won against the Florida Panthers, 3 to 2.
12:15 AM: [Emmy], Mom, and I hung out in the kitchen for the last hour and a half; Mom, busy making a collage of family pictures from years gone by. She also went through our Christmas garland and picked out the good pieces while pitching those that had rusted through. I’ll put this up this week, once she locates the red ribbons that go on each end of it.
12:20 AM: Well, time once again for bed. So take care, and I’ll see you right back here later today.
