08:30 AM: I’m up. Looks like a much cooler day today, with high temperatures forecast to be in the 80s.
09:00 AM: Heard from [Mentat]. He was wondering if I’ve sent in my paperwork yet for the WPSBC Alumni Association convention in August. I have not yet; shame on me. But I’ll do that today when I pay the bills.
11:15 AM: Sent out checks for three of the most immediately due bills just now. I’ll get to the rest tomorrow, as we have to prepare to leave for another day of shopping in a little bit.
11:30 AM: Leaving now for another shopping trip, to get the stuff that we could not fit in the car yesterday. We’ll be back later.
04:00 PM: We’re back home once again from today’s shopping trip. I’ve put away all groceries and packed the meat we purchased into freezer bags and organized it in the freezer. I so enjoy having a freezer full of food, and I’m forever thankful for being able to afford this treasure.
06:00 PM: [Mentat] just sent me email. He and his girlfriend are having problems, and it appears that at the moment, he will not be moving to Ohio to live with her this fall as originally planned this past winter. He’s visiting here next week; at which time he’ll likely supply more details. I hope they can work it out, as this relationship is probably the longest and most successful one he’s had, and thus, a breakup would be painful for them both. But they may have to make too many deep compromises to continue however; perhaps too deep.
07:30 PM: Watched KDKA TV’s Local News at 5:00 and 6:00 as well as The CBS Evening News at 7:00 PM.
09:00 PM: [Emmy], while washing dishes in the kitchen sink found one of Mom’s used lancets. Luckily, she did not jab herself with it. Sometimes, I find them around the kitchen and occasionally on the floor. I’ve implored Mom to be extra careful with them; particularly since [Emmy] has no vision and thus, could easily prick herself with one that has not been properly disposed of. In fact, I scolded Mom tonight. Her response: “Well it’s not like I meant to do it.” Well, whether she meant to leave the lancet around or not doesn’t matter. The fact is that these should NOT be left where others might injure themselves. Aaaarrrrgggghhh! I tell you, Mom’s carelessness in regards to this stuff is really getting irksome. But I don’t know what we can do to get her to be more cautious with her testing supplies.
11:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
11:35 PM: Watched KDKA TV’s Local News at 11:00 PM.
01:15 AM: Watched Larry King’s 2010-06 interview with Dr. Jack Kevorkian on assisted suicides. I believe that the law should support these acts of mercy.
01:40 AM: Heading to bed. So I’ll be back here tomorrow for more of this daily saga, called my life. 
Take care.
