Log
08:15 AM: I’m up. We’re up early because [Emmy] has a podiatrist appointment later this morning to investigate some chronic pain in her arches. We’re thinking that she just needs to wear better shoes. But the doctor will hopefully advise us for sure.
08:20 AM: Read more of the Frankenstein book overnight.
09:30 AM: A computer customer called to say that she’s having problems restoring her QuickBooks backup and wants my help. So I told her I’d get back to her this afternoon, after we get back from [Emmy's] foot appointment.
10:05 AM: Leaving now for [Emmy's] podiatrist appointment. Back later.
11:30 AM: The doctor examined [Emmy] and made the following suggestions to correct her aching arches:
- Try insole supports — we bought a pair from him for $20. He says to wear these for just an hour or so each day to start, and then to gradually work this up to where she’s using them full-time.
- Buy better shoes. We have been purchasing the cheaper, off-brand varieties for under $30 a pair. Now, we’ll try Nike and Rebok.
- Replace primary pair of shoes every six months. She had been wearing hers for over a year.
12:40 PM: Grabbed lunch at Original Italian Pizza in Tyrone, PA. Yum.
12:55 PM: We’re back home again, and taking an after-lunch nap.
01:00 PM: Mixed up a batch of strawberry-flavored cream cheese Jello. My only complaint about these potions is that they take too long to harden. Otherwise, they’re delicious.
01:30 PM: Called the customer with the QuickBooks problem back. Apparently, she figured it out. Nice.
02:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR. Now, I’m heading outside to work in the yard.
08:00 PM: Worked the Lawn Maintenance: 2010 project. Cut the mow-able parts with the lawn tractor.
09:00 PM: Watched Campbell Brown’s last newscast on CNN. Sorry to see her go. She’ll be missed.
11:00 PM: Blogged a bit, made another bowl of sugar-free Jello; this time, cherry, and re read some of the Frankenstein book. [Emmy] listened along with me for this reading, up through letter 2.
11:35 PM: Watched KDKA TV’s Local News at 11:00 PM. Now, we’re heading to bed. So sweet dreams and sleep well. I’ll continue this story tomorrow.
