Log
05:30 AM: I’m up. [Emmy's] hands are bothering her and so, she could not sleep. When she returns in July, we’re going to visit a new hand surgeon for a second opinion on al this chronic wrist and palm pain she’s been experiencing. Unfortunately, he does not take her medical insurance. So I may have to write him a letter and plead her as a hard-luck case. We’ll see.
07:30 AM: *Yawn* I blogged for a bit; sending out several friend requests to some ex-coworkers, and I wrote 600 words into an upcoming post as well. But I didn’t get enough sleep yet, and now that [Emmy] has gone back to sleep, that’s where I’m headed too. More later.
10:15 AM: I’m up. Fully sunny and 80 degrees so far. The skies are a hazy blue, and the sun is blazing.
01:30 PM: [Emmy] watched today’s episode of Pittsburgh Today Live on KDKA from the DVR, while I wrote a couple hundred more words and organized the office here a little.
02:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
03:50 PM: Mom drove us to DelGrosso park to drop nephew Tyler off at work, and to grab some Texas hot dogs for lunch. Mmmmmm. We’re back home.
04:20 PM: Now, leaving to take [Emmy] to her train home. The southern skies look dark; a storm is coming. Not to worry though, as the train station provides ample shelter, even at train-side for boarding passengers. Mom’s driving us there; her first time doing so since her foot problems developed last fall. I hope therefore, that riding with her is a sound choice. Back later.
05:10 PM: The train arrived a few minutes late, after the worst of the thunderstorm passed. In fact, no rain was falling when [Emmy] boarded the train.
05:50 PM: I’m back home again, and [Emmy] is on her way. Crowded train today (being a holiday). So the only seat available in the car they directed us to, was the one closest to the bathroom of any of them; I guess that’s why it was the only seat available. But hopefully, they cleaned out the facilities well in Harrisburg so that [Emmy] won’t have any nasty odors to cope with throughout her trip.
Mom drove very well this trip. It’s good that she’s able to get around town again because she won’t be here as much, and so she and I will likely not butt heads as often. But the downside is that she’ll likely spend more money; making her financial affairs more difficult to manage. Indeed, she’s already started spending; new glasses here, a thousand-dollar dental bill there. So I’m bracing. But if she overspends, I can worry about it no more. We’ve tried everything we know to save her from herself to no avail. It’s her life, and if she does spend too much, she’ll have to deal with the results. So I feel good.
08:30 PM: Spent the past couple hours writing some upcoming posts.
09:45 PM: [Emmy] made it home safe and sound, and says that her Internet is working well once again; you’ll remember that two weeks ago, it had failed, and the failure was not resolved before she left to come here.
10:15 PM: Recorded audio journal episode AJE-2010-05-31-21-52.
12:30 AM: Watched the 2010-05-31 episode of NBC’s Nightly News on the DVR.
01:30 AM: Watched the 2010-05-31 episode of Dr. Phil on the DVR.
01:35 AM: Headed to bed, so happy Memorial Day, and we’ll catch you again tomorrow. Good night.
