Log
10:00 AM: I’m up. Another hot one today. So again, we’ll probably stay indoors until this evening.
10:15 AM: Today’s [Tad's] 50th birthday. I wished him well on Facebook through [Morra].
10:30 AM: Getting the laundry going again today. There’s a lot, that I hope to finish by this evening.
12:30 PM: Watched KDKA TV’s Local News at Noon.
01:15 PM: Facebooked a while. I now have 247 friends and my Facebook page has 32 fans.
02:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
03:15 PM: There’s news from Philadelphia that a barge ran into a duck boat on the Delaware river, capsizing the duck boat. No reports of injuries or deaths so far. But thirty people are reported to have been thrown into the water from the smaller vessel.
06:00 PM: iPodded on the south porch. It’s not quite as hot today as yesterday, but still, the air out there was quite warm nonetheless.
08:00 PM: Watched KDKA TV’s Local News at 6:00 PM and The CBS Evening News at 7:00 PM: Then, I walked over to Sheetz to grab a little supper.
08:05 PM: This headache I got on the 4th is finally subsiding. It felt like another caffeine headache. Perhaps all that chocolate candy I had triggered it. Boy, it seems that I can’t screw up at all without paying dearly. That little bit of flavorful enjoyment cost me three days of nauseating pains in the head. Grrrrrr. Yet though less frequently these days, I keep going back for more. So to a degree, I can relate to Mom’s struggle with avoiding the wrong foods. She knows that they’re bad for her but keeps eating them. Sometimes, I judge her for this; though I try hard not to. Why? Because after all, I’m as guilty of this destructive behavior as she; though I believe I have cut way back on habitual eating of bad foods as compared to how I used to eat in the eighties. She on the other hand has made few if any healthful and permanent dietary adjustments to her regimen. So I think I’m doing better at this than she, but not as well as I’d like. I’ll keep at it however.
10:00 PM: [Emmy] and I hung out here in the office, talking about nothing and everything else too. 
Now, we’re watching CNN’s AC 360 to learn more about today’s earthquake in southern California.
11:00 PM: That earthquake apparently was minimally severe; as it received less than a minute of coverage. Now, we’re watching KDKA TV’s Local News at 11:00 PM.
11:35 PM: Okay, we’re turning in. Just one more day of this really hot weather; then, some relief over the weekend. *loud applause* So good night, and I’ll catch you back out here tomorrow. Take care now.
Received Mail and Shipments
- Weekly coupon mailer.
- Bill for co-payment to Mom’s foot doctor.
- Netflix membership offer. Not at this time, thanks. I already have more movies and books to watch than I’ll probably ever complete in my life time.
