Log
07:45 AM: I’m up.
09:15 AM: Facebooked a bit. Friend count: 552; Fan count: 111.
10:20 AM: I’m still coughing. But my voice is getting stronger still, and signs of a sinus infection have disappeared completely. I no longer have to take pain relievers for that intensely sore throat I experienced over the past week.
11:30 AM: Talked with [Emmy] for a mid-day break.
12:00 PM: Spent the morning paying bills for the house and Mom’s medical expenses. Also called a few of the vendors to resolve discrepencies between what I thought we owed them and what they said we did. Looks like one of them never received the checks I sent early last month. So now I must wait for Mom’s latest banking statement to arrive to see if those checks have cleared. It they have, then I have to get copies of them and submit to the vendor so they can investigate further. *Oh Joy!*
01:00 PM: Heated up some beef grain soup from the freezer for lunch. Yummy!
02:35 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
02:45 PM: Nap time. Back later.
04:45 PM: I’m awake again.
05:30 PM: Removed the old house numbers from the west and south porches. Will pick up some new ones soon, that reflect our E-911 address. I figure it’s safe to take down the old numbers since it’s now been a year since our address officially changed. Besides, I don’t want delivery personnel to be confused by an outdated number on the house. I kept the the expired numbers up for this long because some outfits still send mail to the old address. But haven’t gotten any of those parcels for a few months now. So it’s probably okay to dispose of the old house number.
06:00 PM: Skipped today’s rerun episode of Dr. Phil via the DVR.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy].
12:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News broadcast via the DVR.
12:05 AM: Reviewed the daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count rose a fair amount this time, and now stands at 1745; up from 1728 yesterday. The record high for this dimension is now 1745. The next goal: 2000.
12:30 AM: Bed time. More tomorrow. Good night.
