Log
08:00 AM: I’m up. My weight did not change from yesterday. It’s still 173.5 Lbs. See here for a summary of the progress on this goal so far in 2010.
08:05 AM: Read more of the Classics For Pleasure book overnight.
11:45 AM: Mom and I are spending this Easter afternoon with sister Mary Ann and her family. We’re leaving at 12:30; Mary Ann’s sister-in-law shall drive us there.
11:55 AM: Began the book: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
12:30 PM: Leaving now, for sister Mary Ann’s house.
07:15 PM: We’re back. Nice day, but I am STUFFED! They served ham, corn, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, asparagus casserole, celery sticks with cream cheese and peanut butter, and assorted desserts.
07:30 PM: [Emmy] called to say that her first Comcast bill just arrived in email that includes her new phone service from them. $305.00. Surprised, and not pleasantly so, she griped about how this would set her back; a lot. Nor did she like having to pay for 411 information calls; they were free on Verizon. So, tomorrow, she’ll have to call and find out how to sign up for free directory assistance on Comcast, or if they even have such a no-fee service available.
07:35 PM: Nap time.
09:00 PM: I’m up again, and reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
09:30 PM: Calling [Emmy] back, though I probably won’t talk very long. I’m wiped. Must have been all that food today. Oh well. Time to get back on the diet tomorrow.
10:00 PM: Finished with [Emmy]. Now, reading more of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
11:30 PM: Recorded audio journal episode: AJE-2010-04-04-22-45. Talked all about Easter afternoon today at sister Mary Ann’s place; a great time we enjoyed.
12:15 AM: Repaired a few playlists that I have set up in iTunes. I discovered upon syncing my iPod Touch to them tonight, that twenty one of the songs did not transfer because the original location of the file (where it was when the playlist was created) has changed. This often happens as my music collection grows, and I subsequently decide to move things around on my music drive to keep it simple to maneuver. Plus, over time, better ways to organize all these audio recordings emerged. But unfortunately, anytime I change file locations, I must update any playlists I have that reference those files. It’d sure be nice if iTunes, Winamp, et al, could detect these changes and update the links in any referencing playlists automatically. But they cannot at present. So I’m resigned to working through the tedious and painstaking processing of periodically fixing any broken links in these lists. *sigh* Life could be so much worse. 
01:05 AM: Well, so ends another day. Good night, sleep right, and I’ll see you back here again tomorrow.
