Log
07:05 AM: I’m up. My weight read the same as yesterday: 176.5 Lbs.
07:50 AM: Went shopping.
11:00 I’m back home, putting groceries away.
01:00 PM: Set up Mom’s new Vtech cordless phones that I purchased on today’s shopping trip. These have lighted key pads; she had problems using the Panasonic ones I got her for Christmas. So we’ll try these Vtechs. They sound comparable to the Panasonics and they’re $40 cheaper. One drawback I’ve noted is that the Vtechs take specialized cordless phone batteries, whereas the Panasonics take standard AAA rechargeable batteries. But aside from that minor inconvenience, the Vtechs appear to be high fidelity, high quality phones.
02:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless.
03:30 PM: Worked the Pink’s PC Problems: 2010-03-10 project. All updates, including Vista Service Pack 1, have been successfully applied.
07:30 PM: I took a walk down past the pavilion to the river, and yes, it’s rising once again. The weather people are calling for lots of rain over the weekend. So, I’ve begun moving some of our possessions up off our cellar floor, just in case the waters come in again as they did back in the fall of 2004. We have far too much to save, should we get four feet of water down there again; there just aren’t enough high places to stow our stuff. Thus, I’m having to pick and choose what to preserve. Tough choices too because I love all my junk; not just this and that. Oh well. Maybe the waters won’t come. Let’s hope.
09:00 PM: Read more of the Team of Rivals book.
10:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. The Penguins lost again, 3 to 1 to the NJ Devils.
10:15 PM: To bed with me, because I got up earlier than usual this morning. See you back here tomorrow. Good night, and take care.
