Log
05:00 AM: I’m awake and cannot return to sleep. So I might as well get up and do something productive rather than just laying in bed, feeling bored and accomplishing nothing.
07:15 AM: I paid some bills and got caught up on some email. But sleepiness has returned. So I’m gong back to bed for a bit. Back later.
09:45 AM: We’re up. I didn’t sleep very well last night; my bedroom grew quite warm overnight. Maybe I should place fewer covers on my bed.
10:00 AM: Facebooked for perhaps ten minutes. Friend count: 619 (unchanged). Fan count: 114 (unchanged).
12:00 PM: Walked to Sheetz to withdraw some dollars and grab a hot chocolate for [Emmy], while she busies herself packing.
01:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR with [Emmy].
02:00 PM: Sister Jojo arrived. She’s taking us shopping, to visit Mom, and to drop [Emmy] off at the train back to Pittsburgh. Back later.
02:45 PM: First, we visited Wal Mart. Really crowded compared to when we visit early on Friday morning. But I got everything I need for two weeks (Jojo cannot take me next Friday).
03:30 PM: Next, we went to Dunkin’ Donuts for lunch. We got the egg, bacon, and cheese on croissant sandwiches and some decaffeinated coffee.
04:30 PM: Next, we visited Mom for about an hour. Then, Jojo waited with Mom while [Emmy] and I walked to the Altoona train station.
05:10 PM: [Emmy's] train arrived. Far less crowded than when she got it home on December 27th. Anyway, the conductors helped her on and I asked them to stow her bags very close to her so that they’d be easier to locate when they arrive at Pittsburgh. They smiled and agreed.
05:15 PM: Heading back to the nursing home, to continue with the visit.
06:05 PM: Jojo and I visited further with Mom. Her supper came, and she ate perhaps half a plate full of food. Mom seemed to grow tired after she ate. So we decided to head home. Besides, I must record tonight’s Penguins hockey game for [Emmy].
06:20 PM: I’m home.
06:30 PM: Started the recorder.
08:00 PM: Took down, repaired, and stored some more Christmas lights.
08:50 PM: Received a call from [Emmy]. She’s home.
10:00 PM: Watched last night’s and tonight’s episodes of NBC’s Nightly News broadcast via the DVR.
10:45 PM: The Penguins lost to the New York Rangers tonight, 3 to 1.
10:50 PM: Posted the recording of tonight’s hockey game for [Emmy] to download and listen to on her Victor Reader Stream or her NLS DTB player.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy].
12:05 AM: The daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count for this run is 927, up from 923 at last check. The record high for this dimension remains at 1788. The next goal: 2000.
01:20 AM: Watched the next four episodes of Space Academy via my DVD player.
12:10 AM: I’m heading to bed. Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content. 
Good night.
