09:00 AM: I’m up.
11:00 AM: Returned a call from the admissions director at Mom’s nursing home. She just wanted to let me know that she had talked with the MA benefits administrator, and that we should send all but a specified amount of the money in Mom’s checking account to the nursing home.
11:40 AM: Gathered some of the information required to fill out Mom’s VA benefits application. Still searching for Dad’s military service records.
02:00 PM: Balanced Mom’s checking account through the end of last month.
02:50 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
02:45 PM: Skipped today’s rerun episode of Dr. Phil.
03:30 PM: Nap time. Back later.
05:45 PM: I’m awake again.
09:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. My voice is all but gone. So we decided to talk earlier and in abbreviated fashion so I could give it lots of rest tonight.
09:45 PM: Maybe someday I will switch over to MacOS from Windows (as suggested by one of my Facebook friends). I already run iOS 4 on my iPods. Does that count? 
But I have significant equipment and decades of training investment in Windows. Still though, that whole idea about Macs contracting viruses being impossible is compelling. Not sure I believe that. But I am curious about it nonetheless. Once they perfect hardware virtualization in Windows and the supporting equipment, maybe viruses will be things of the past that environment too.
10:00 PM: Added Promo Only’s 2011-06-21 and 2011-06-27 EA DFF releases to my music library (22 songs roughly).
12:05 AM: Reviewed the daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count moved higher again this time, and now stands at 1655; up from 1649 yesterday. The new record high is now 1655 key phrases therefore. The next goal: 2000.
12:15 AM: Bed time. More tomorrow. Good night.
Received Mail and Shipments
- Letter from the Railroad Retirement Board, stating that my request for Mom’s new Medicare card has been received and is in process.
- Life insurance offer. No thanks.
