Today’s Business: 2010-07-18

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Today’s Activities

  • Shower.  DONE.
  • Cat duty.  DONE.
  • Do all pending laundry.  IN PROGRESS.

Log

09:45 AM: I’m up. 

10:00 AM: Loaded up one week’s worth of Mom’s meds in the trays.  We’re running out of several of her prescriptions soon and so I must wait until after we pick up today’s order before filling any more trays. 

10:10 AM: Heading shopping with sister Jojo. 

12:30 PM: Back home again and all groceries are put away.  I thought I’d try a couple New York strip steaks tomorrow with mushrooms.  So I bought them and another pork shoulder roast to replace the one I used this past week. 

12:35 PM: Mom reports that the repairs I made to her phone line last night did the trick; all that troubling static she’s been hearing is gone now, and she used the telephone for over an hour today.  So far, so good. 

12:45 PM: Whipped up a big bowl of raspberry cream cheese Jello for tonight’s dessert, and am hoping it will harden completely by then. 

02:00 PM: Laundered the sheets and pillow cases on my bed in preps for [Emmy's] arrival as well as to clean up after [Mentat's] departure yesterday. 

03:00 PM: [Emmy's] train is running about ten minutes late.  So nephew Garrett and I will probably leave here in a half hour or so to pick her up. 

03:20 PM: Heading to the train station now.

04:10 PM: [Emmy's] train just arrived, and we’re driving to a Best Way Pizza in Greenwood to buy supper for both Garrett’s family as well as [Emmy] and me. 

05:15 PM: We’re home, and sitting on the south porch swing, taking in the near 90-degree sunny weather. 

05:45 PM: The pizza was delicious; although this means that we’ll have to put off eating the leftover pork roast until tomorrow. 

06:00 PM: Nap time.

07:50 PM: I’m back up again.  [Emmy] is still sleeping however.  So I’ll just monkey around here on the blogs until she wakes up. 

09:00 PM: Once [Emmy]  rose again, we sat outside on the south porch swing, where we listened to the dusk birds and the night crickets chirping and buzzing.  83 degrees at present. 

10:30 PM: [Emmy] is catching up on her  Pittsburgh Today Live   shows from the DVR.  I watched the first segment from last Tuesday, about sleep apnea and how it’s treated these days.  Interesting. 

11:00 PM: Well, for some reason, I’m really quite tired.  So we’re hitting the sack.  So good night, sweet dreams, and I’ll write more when I’m recharged; in less than twelve hours.  Take care.

  • 11:45 AM: 1 multi-grain bagel with cream cheese.  500 calories.

  • 05:20 PM: 3 breadsticks.  500 calories.
