07:30 AM: I’m up.  My weight did not drop from yesterday.  It’s still 175.5 pounds.

11:00 AM: Played more with the IRIS WebRadio.  I called the manufacturer of the WebRadio: Solutions Radio.  We talked for roughly ten minutes, and we verified that the radio they sent me is indeed the WiFi version.  They also supplied more critical details for configuring the WebRadio to access a WiFi network.  I’ll include what they said, and what I subsequently verified, in the   IRIS WebRadio WiFi Setup   post.

11:10 AM: Going out on today’s   shopping trip.  I’ll return later.

03:30 PM: We’re home, and we’ve put the groceries away.  Nap time.

05:45 PM: Spent some time extensively revising the   IRIS WebRadio WiFi Setup   post I wrote yesterday.  New information from Solutions Radio today made yesterday’s post inaccurate and obsolete. 

10:15 PM: Talked with   [Emmy]  for nearly four hours this evening. 

10:45 PM: Then, I played with the IRIS WebRadio a little more and revised the posts I’d written about it yesterday.

11:45 PM: Created audio journal episode:   AJE-2010-01-22-23-07   on the Victor Reader Stream, where I discussed how the rational side of the fear of rejection makes finding peace with having that fear much easier.  I’ll write about that more in the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog once my thoughts on the topic coalesce into some concrete ideas.

12:30 AM: Watched the 2010-01-22 episode of   The Young and the Restless   on the DVR. 

12:45 AM: Bed time.  See you later on.

    10:05 AM: Dispensed Mom’s morning meds.

    02:00 PM: Covered her lunch with 12 units of log insulin.

    03:00 PM: Mom had an eye exam today.  Pleased that healing is progressing nicely, the doctor however did notice some remaining blood in Mom’s eye from the hemorrhaging that occurred this past New Years eve.  So, the doctor wants to wait another few weeks for that to dissipate, before deciding if Mom requires any further laser treatments.    We’ve thus, scheduled another eye exam for mid February.

    06:30 PM: Blood sugar: 107.  Good!
