Log
08:30 AM: I’m up. Checked on Mom. She’s needs nothing at the moment.
10:30 AM: Talked to Mom’s lawyers about transferring title of her home to me; the objective to get all of Mom’s assets out of her name.
11:00 AM: Got Mom up to the bathroom and gave her her morning meds. She decided to go back to bed, so I’ll check on her again in four hours.
11:05 AM: Worked the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 project throughout this morning, adding more 2010 music to my digital library of recordings.
03:00 PM: Good friend Pearl has agreed to drive [Emmy] to the train station this weekend for her return trip to Pittsburgh. She’ll join me once again in a couple weeks for the Christmas celebration. I just love the holidays!
03:30 PM: Mom still in bed. Fortunately, sister Jojo stopped by to cheer her up and get her up.
04:00 PM: Sister Jojo helped Mom get a shower and got her dressed and into the kitchen for some grub.
06:00 AM: Worked the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 project throughout this afternoon, downloading all back issues of Promo Only’s EA DFF music series. Further, while waiting for the downloads to finish (which took several hours by the way), I worked the Christmas Lighting: 2010 project, putting up more lights around the exterior of the house.
08:00 PM: Watched today’s episodes of The Young and the Restless and Dr. Phil on the DVR.
11:00 PM: While [Emmy] watched KDKA TV’s Pittsburgh Today Live variety show, I continued working the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 project. Copied all back EA DFF issues from either disc or Internet to my music library hard drive.
12:45 AM: Dispensed Mom’s night meds and helped her to bed. Sister Mary Ann is planning on visiting tomorrow afternoon, and Mom is looking forward to that.
12:55 AM: LED Christmas lights may use a mere tenth of the power of the traditional incandescent bulbs, and still give equivalent light in fact. But they’re certainly NOT more reliable, and they’re harder to repair besides, as polarity must be observed when replacing LEDs, though not so with incandescents. If you connect an LED backwards, you’ll probably destroy it. I have. Grrrrrr. Merry Christmas!!! 
02:00 AM: [Emmy] rubbed my back and combed my hair while I copied some old-time radio shows into my media library. We talked as well about the holidays, past and future. She may go visit her parents this Christmas. But she’s worried that I’ll be hurt if she does not spend Christmas here. But I encouraged her to go. After all, she’s come here every Christmas since 2007 and so, I certainly wouldn’t mind “sharing” her this year. She may spend Christmas day with them and then spend New Years with us. We’ll see. In any case, I want her to do what she’s most happy and comfortable with.
03:00 AM: [Emmy] gave me a 2-hour back and head massage. It was wonderful. She really gives good ones. When I think of her massages past, I can induce very contented and sleepy feelings, even while fully awake and outside in the cold. Remembering her massages is a great way to seriously reduce stress.
03:15 AM: Heading to bed. Good night, and I’ll write more of my life adventure tomorrow. Take care.
