Log
08:55 AM: I’m up.
09:05 AM: Facebooked for several minutes. Friend count: 597 (up one). Fan count: 112 (unchanged).
10:00 AM: Talked to [Emmy] in what’s becoming a habitual morning chat. I like it as it helps lessen the loneliness that sometimes dominates the atmosphere around here.
10:30 AM: A fellow from Window World just arrived to give me estimates on some window replacements that I’m hoping will quiet the interior of the house here as well as lower the heating and cooling costs.
12:00 PM: I’ve decided to order eight windows; two for Mom’s bedroom (these are over 60 years old), two for the kitchen (these are over 40 years old), the attic window (this one is over 40 years old), and the three windows here in my first floor office (these are less than ten years old, but I have to try more elaborate windows to lower the road noise in this room). I’m also having the exterior of the upstairs bedroom windows sealed, to cover up the exposed wood up there so that it need no longer be repainted so often.
03:00 PM: Put up perhaps ten more strings of blue Christmas lights, and laid out the power cables to be used this year to drive them.
04:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
07:25 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News via the DVR.
08:15 PM: Skipped today’s episode of Dr. Phil, called Dr. Phil Family: Alexandra’s Admission.
09:00 PM: Watched Star Trek: The Animated Series; the episodes: Beyond The Farthest Star and Yesteryear. There’s so much drama in this family that they appear overly sensational.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy], and we watched tonight’s episode of Hawaii Five-0.
12:00 AM: I’m headed to bed. Good night, and I’ll write more tomorrow.
12:05 AM: The daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count dropped this time, and currently stands at 876, down from 906 at last check. The record high for this dimension remains at 1788. The next goal: 2000.
