Log
10:00 AM: I’m up.
10:05 AM: Facebooked a while this morning. Friend count is now 238. My official Facebook page I created Friday now has 26 fans.
12:00 PM: Went out to the shed to check the box trap. It held a brown and white rabbit; but not the ground hog that we’ve been trying to catch; the one that keeps digging big holes underneath the shed. So, I let the rabbit go and reset the trap. Maybe tonight, we’ll get him.
01:00 PM: Broke a pair of glasses while tussling with [Emmy]. I wasn’t too dismayed however, as this particular pair is in need of a new anti-reflective coating, and so were due for a shop visit anyhow. I have three other spare pairs; so, no biggie. 
02:55 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
05:30 PM: Watched various left-over shows on the DVR that I’d recorded for [Emmy] over the past couple weeks.
05:45 PM: Headed out to trivia night with Mom and [Emmy].
09:00 PM: On the way home, we hit The Meadows for some sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
09:15 PM: Then, we stopped at sister Jojo’s to see the puppies one more time before she dispatches them to their new owners. They’ve really grown but are all still quite soft.
10:00 PM: We’re back home again.
11:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of CNN’s AC 360 news show; mostly focused on the oil spill.
11:15 PM Bed time now. So good night, and catch you again tomorrow. Take care.
Received Mail and Shipments
- Weekly newspaper-style coupon mailer.
- Promo Only’s EADFF music series; the 2010-06-04 issue.
- Misc. credit card offer. No thanks.
- Blair Senior Services, Senior Scope publication.
- Information on the new Pitney Bowes mailstation2. Neat machine, the weights packages and envelopes, and then prints the appropriate postage either on them or for them. This is a glorified postage meter (the glorification being the built in scale). I’ve debated over getting one of these. But though we send out fifteen to twenty pieces of mail each month, that’s probably not enough to justify this machine. Now if I sent forty or fifty pieces, this sale would be easier for them to make to me. They are making the offer pretty enticing, with $20 in free postage coupons for two years, and the first two months rent free. But I must be critical of any additional recurring monthly expenses right now. In short, any monthly bill greater than zero dollars and zero cents, I can’t take on — not until the writing business does better.
