08:40 AM: I’m up. Today, I hope to watch and clear off some of the older TV shows on the DVR, balance all checking accounts, and clear a path in the cellar to our old washing machine to allow the deliveries easy access to this area when they deliver our new clothes washer.
09:30 AM: GE Delivery called. They’re postponing the delivery of our new clothes washer a day, due to the harsh weather that’s supposed to be active tomorrow. They’ll now deliver sometime on Thursday.
11:00 AM: Added Promo Only’s Country Radio music series; the 2011-02 edition to my music library. Don’t know why I bothered though, because I already had all the songs on that disc. Looks like there was lots of overlap between this edition and the EADFF editions I’ve received previously. If it keeps up like this, I may decide to discontinue my Country Radio subscription and just rely on EADFF to supply the latest country songs.
11:40 AM: Cancelled Mom’s upcoming PCP appointment, as she’s still in the hospital and so, won’t be able to make it on that date.
01:30 PM: Balanced all three of the checking accounts that I manage. No problems discovered.
01:50 PM: Mom had a heart test scheduled as an outpatient for next week. However, since she’s currently in the hospital, I had to cancel the outpatient version of the test, and I have a call in to her PCP about rescheduling this test as an inpatient. Peculiar that we’d need to reschedule, since Mom is currently a patient at the place where the original test was supposed to be conducted. Go figure.
02:30 PM: Cooked up five pounds of ground turkey for sloppy Joes for meals this week.
03:00 PM: Gathered up and took out all of this week’s garbage because our garbage collection day is tomorrow, weather permitting.
04:20 PM: Watched the 2010-12-27, 2010-12-28, 2010-12-29, and 2010-12-30 episodes of NBC’s Nightly News news show on the DVR. Nap time. Back later.
05:05 PM: I’m awake again, and the snow is falling.
06:15 PM: Added Promo Only’s Dance Radio music series (the 2009-05 edition) to the music library on the computer.
06:20 PM: Heading out to sweep the walks. The snow is coming. Heck, the snow is HERE! 
Looks like at least two inches have fallen already.
07:15 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
07:25 PM: Just shoveled again. At lest two to three inches fell during the past hour since the last time I cleaned off the sidewalks. Wow!
08:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News news show on the DVR, skipping ahead to today so I could see about this latest storm that’s pounding us here in PA.
09:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of Dr. Phil, titled: From Homeless to Hollywood. Dr. Phil talks with Ted Williams, the homeless man with the golden voice that has been given a second chance at success. McGraw wanted to make sure that Williams, now that he has the job offers and money coming in again, does not revert to his old ways of crime and deadbeat fatherhood, so that Williams can sustain his new-found success. Interesting episode.
10:30 PM: Talked with [Emmy] on the phone. I told her about my day, and she told me about here, and we talked of the snowy weather gripping central and western PA. Nothing earth-shattering. Just simple and pleasant conversation.
10:45 PM: Disconnected all hoses and power from old washer in preps for delivery of new one in the next two days.
11:05 PM: Bed time. Good night.
