Log

10:10 AM: I’m up. 

03:00 PM: Added entries and links to the   Significant Dates   article.

04:35 PM: Posted the   Walking, 2008 Playlist   in this, the   Tom’s Diary   blog.  I picked the songs in this playlist as nice tunes to walk with at a nearby cemetery, and I thought my readers might also find some of the music to their liking.

05:15 PM: At this very moment, sister Christine is mating her Maltese dog with a stud.  Apparently, the two “strangers” eagerly got together the instant Christine released the male into her home, and they’re still (stuck) together now.  :-)   No inhibitions whatsoever either, because they’re ”loving” each other, right out in public, in the doorway between the kitchen and garage; a notably high-traffic passage.  So, in approximately 63 days, we’ll have more dogs around, with their incessant yapping soon to follow.  Ah well, as long as they don’t grow up to be biters.  :-)    Still though, to be a stud…

06:00 PM: Mom and Jojo just got home from the doctors and their little   shopping trip.

06:50 PM: Sister Jojo, her husband, and daughter, came for supper here tonight.  Mom made some ham pot pie, and they helped us straighten the branches on our Christmas tree.  They still don’t have their tree yet because they like to have the whole family help pick it out, and the kids have had very conflicting schedules as of late.  But Jojo says that they’ll get one tomorrow, for sure, whether everyone can be there or not.  Sometimes, you just have to get tough!  :-)

07:40 PM: Posted the   Walking Playlist, 2009   piece to this, the   Tom’s Diary   blog.  

09:15 PM: Watched yesterday’s and today’s episodes of  The Young and the Restless   on the DVR.  Now calling [Emmy].

11:20 PM: Finished chatting with  [Emmy].

12:15 AM: Posted the list of revisions to the   Tom’s Diary   blog   here,  and revisions to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog,  here.

04:50 AM: Worked the   New Revisions Page   project for most of the night, this morning.

05:00 AM: I’m finally off to bed.  Have a good night everyone; what’s left of it.  See you later.

Shopping Trip: 2009-12-11

Friday, December 11th, 2009

After Mom’s doctors appointment, sister Jojo took her to Martin’s grocery store, where they purchased the following items, using Mom’s debit card:

  • Pepperidge Farm Bread (1 loaf)
  • Mott’s apple sauce
  • Kleenex tissues (1 box)
  • English muffins
  • Bigelow tea (2 boxes)
  • Tall kitchen garbage bags (3 boxes)
  • Freezer tape (1 roll)
  • Duncan Hines cake mix (2 boxes)
  • Baby Gouda cheese (1 piece)
  • Green grapes
  • Grapefruit
  • Italian bread (1 loaf)
  • Ground beef patties
  • Eggs

Note that the above list is not complete.  Certain items on the grocery receipt were not intelligible, either because the ink was too light, or the encoding used to fit the name of each item on a single line, rendered the name of the item unintelligible.  Also, since I was not along on this trip, I didn’t see what she actually purchased.  But, this list is pretty accurate however. 

Total cost: $97.65

Walking Playlist: 2009

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Each year (this being the second), I run through my ever-growing music library, playing snippits of each song, looking for any ear catchers.  When I find one that I like, I add it to a general-use playlist, which I then sync to my iPod.  The iPod, I take with me almost everywhere to listen to, should I find myself bored or otherwise in need of filling free time.  As a DJ, this is primarily how I learn the new stuff, while keeping the older tunes fresh in my mind. 

This list I assembled throughout 2009, and had planned on listening to it while walking at the cemetery; thus, the word Walking   in the title.  So most of this music is light yet compelling. But I never got to the cemetery this year, as I’ve been busy with projects around the house and lacking the desire to go up there and walk for long, hot periods.  Still though, this playlist is nice; it works well when I need some audio diversion while writing in the blogs, and to pass the time on long train rides to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Practically all the songs below I find pleasing for various reasons.  Some of it is great to dance to, and I’ve included both fast and slow dances as well.  Some is great classic rock and country, and there are even some exceedingly funny comedy bits as well.  So I would recommend these recordings to anyone who’s looking for appropriate music to play while dancing, walking, doing other aerobic exercise, or just sitting around and pondering the deeper meanings behind the lyrics; there are indeed some catchy and ponderous lyrics in here as well. 

So check out some of this music.  I think you might like it too.

Mom’s Status: 2009-12-11

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Pending Appointments And Issues

  • Sometime this month (December), we must take Mom’s 2008 property tax paperwork to a lawyer in Tipton for examination.  She may be eligible for a significant tax rebate.
  • Order another batch of Accu-Chek Aviva test strips.
  • 2009-12-11 @ 3:45 PM: Appointment with podiatrist. Sister Jojo is driving us to this.
  • 2010-02-04 @ 11:30 AM: Appointment with orthopedist for a quarterly checkup on the progress of healing of her charcot foot.

 

05:25 AM: Blood sugar: 176.  Covered with 10-plus units of log insulin, she says.  She doesn’t remember the exact amount.

10:25 AM: Dispensed Mom’s morning meds.

10:30 AM: Blood sugar: 277.  Covered with 20 units of log insulin.

10:40 AM: Mom grumbled at my request to order more test strips today.  She says that she’s used up all her insurance this year, and so, wants to wait until the first of 2010 to buy more.  At that time, she’ll again have coverage funds available, and will thus have to pay little if any, out-of-pocket costs for them.  If she buys some now however, she claims, she’ll have to pay full price for them, out-of-pocket, which is approximately $1 per strip.  My problem with this is that we only have enough strips to last until sometime in the second week of the new year.  So if we wait til January 1st to to place the order, we’d only have just under two weeks of strips left, and this gives us little margin for error.  The last time we ordered these, this past October, it took over a month to finally receive them, and in the meantime, we had to purchase 50 of them with cash from a local pharmacy, in order to get us by until the ones through her insurance company finally arrived. Plus, there were some days in there where we had no strips and so couldn’t read her blood sugar.  So  I don’t care for getting behind the 8-ball on this stuff, and prefer ordering way ahead to avoid the stress of wondering if the new test strips will arrive before the old ones run out.

01:30 PM: I just woke Mom up to alert her to begin getting ready to head out for her appointment.  She assured me that she’d be dressed and able to head right out the door as soon as sister Jojo gets here at 3:15 PM. 

01:40 PM: Dispensed Mom’s lunch-time meds, and discovered that she did not take the ones I gave her this morning.  Hmmm.  She’s starting to fall back into her old patterns of non compliance.  Sisters: you all need to talk to her again about this.

02:15 PM: Blood sugar: 137.  Covered with 6 units of log insulin.

03:15 PM: Sister Jojo arrived, right on time, to pick Mom up, and yes, Mom was all bundled up and ready to go.  Nice.  However, I decided to stay behind this time to get caught up on my blog work here.

05:30: Mom just got home, with an excellent report from the podiatrist.  He says that both her feet appear to be healing nicely from the charcot foot syndrome, and that he found no new wounds.  He also said that she can now stand for brief periods — modest weight-bearing.  Nice.

05:35 PM: Now, she’s serving her very delicious ham pot pie to Jojo and some of her family.  I couldn’t wait until they got home.  So I helped myself to a few servings a half-hour ago.  :-)

06:20 PM: Covered Mom’s ham pot pie meal with 20 units of log insulin.

07:10 PM: Dispensed Mom’s evening meds.

11:30 PM: Blood sugar: 135.  Covered with 5 units of log insulin.

11:35 PM: Dispensed Mom’s bedtime meds.
