Log
05:00 AM: I’m awake temporarily.
06:15 AM: Facebooked a bit. Friend count: 574. Fan count: 111.
08:10 AM: Called Mom’s nursing home about the larger-than-we-can-pay bill received last week. They’re making adjustments and say that they’ll call me back with a final resolution soon.
09:30 AM: Wrote letters to my federal, state, and local representatives to gripe about the persistent loud motorcycle noise near to my home. I’m certainly not expecting a quick resolution. But at least, I’ve joined the cacoffiny of voices who also express irritation at so much of this noise.
10:00 AM: Scheduled my doctor’s appointment for later this week as well as the transportation to it and home.
11:00 AM: Watched President Obama’s speech on the American Jobs Act. I favor it. We need much infrastructure investment.
01:55 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
02:00 PM: Nap time. Back later.
03:00 PM: I’m awake.
05:30 PM: Watched today’s season season ten premier episode of Dr. Phil via the DVR, called Brat Ban. Right up my alley, because I indeed dispise noisy, bratty kids in many public places I frequent.
05:45 PM: Leaving now for walk 74 of 100 for 2011, again, to the south cemetery. Back in an hour.
06:50 PM: I’m back. The temperature was 75 degrees, mostly golden sunny, calm winds, and moderately humid. Nice walk. At least I’ll be able to say to the doctor this week that I’ve been walking in earnest this entire summer.
11:40 PM: Watched tonight’s rerun episode of Hawaii Five-0 with [Emmy]. The new season starts next week!
12:00 AM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News via the DVR.
12:05 AM: Reviewed the daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count rose this time, and currently stands at 1171; up from 1166 at last check. The record high for this dimension remains at 1788. The next goal: 2000.
12:10 AM: Bed time. More tomorrow. Good night.
