09:45 AM: I’m up. Sunny outside so far with deep blue skies. Looks promising.
09:50 AM: Called [Emmy]. She’s ready to begin her trip to here, which is starting off with a couple of her friends taking her to breakfast. They’ll then drive her to the train station after that. Nephew Garrett and I will pick her up in Altoona later this afternoon. She mentioned that her Internet is still out. Wow. I’ve never had an Internet outage here that lasted more than a few seconds — well, once, a connector went bad in the basement, that took it down for an hour or so. But service to the house here has been always available in the entire eight years I’ve subscribed. My cable company’s got the idea of reliable Internet infrastructure down pat.
12:33 PM: Transcribed audio journal episode AJE-2010-05-06-11-12. Now, I’m working the notes into a piece for Tom’s Love Quest.
01:05 PM: Posted the Facebook Update: 2010-05-06 piece to the Tom’s Love Quest blog.
02:45 Watched today’s episodes of CBS’s Face The Nation and NBC’s Meet The Press news shows on the DVR.
03:00 PM: Nephew Garrett arrived. He’ll hang out until 3:30, when we’ll go to the train station to pick up [Emmy].
03:30 PM: Leaving now.
04:05 PM: [Emmy's] train just arrived, and she said that she saw [Mentat] on it, apparently coming back home from his girlfriend’s place. Coincidence. They did not sit together however, but [Emmy] heard him talking at the ticket counter. Then, once on the train, she did briefly say hi. But we don’t know if he recognized her. But he was very polite just the same.
04:30 PM: We’re back home, and we have [Emmy] here now for the next couple weeks. Nice to see her again. Nap time.
08:00 PM: We’re awake again. Going to eat a light supper of Kashi cereal and organic skim milk.
08:40 PM: Watching TV now.
10:10 PM: Watched Friday’s episode of The Young and the Restless, and I deleted it this time, so I would not view it a fourth time. 
Now, [Emmy] is watching Friday’s episode of Dr. Phil, and I’m here in the office, blogging.
11:50 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News.
11:55 PM: Writing will be sparser than usual the next couple weeks, as I’ll be entertaining [Emmy]. But I’ll still peck out some lines just the same. I don’t want to lose my momentum, which is why vacations scare me. Often times, it takes me much longer than just the duration of the vacation, to fully get back into the swing of writing. So I don’t take many; at least, not many full-fledged ones, where I’m totally away from the computer. I need to write some to keep the creative juices flowing; even on vacation.
11:55 PM: Now, we’re heading to bed. So good night.
