06:30 AM: I’m up.
06:45 AM: Facebooked for a bit. Friend count: 627 (unchanged). Fan count: 114 (unchanged).
07:15 AM: The fellows from Window World just arrived to replace seven more windows here on the first and second floors.
09:30 AM: So far, the Window World technicians have finished replacing one window; the one in Mom’s old sitting room.
10:00 AM: Just heard from Mom’s cardiologist. They want her to run a test of her pace maker. So I’ll take the kit up to the nursing home later this week to do that. Hopefully, this test apparatus will work on their phone lines up there. I have concern that those lines are not analog ones. However, they tell me that there are some analog lines available. We just have to find them.
10:40 AM: Posted the Easy Spaghetti Squash Recipe piece.
10:45 AM: The two bedroom windows on the second floor have now been replaced. Also, the first of three windows in the living room is done as well.
11:15 AM: The second of the three living room windows has now been replaced.
11:55 AM: The bathroom window has now been replaced.
12:10 PM: All seven windows in this project installment have now been replaced.
12:00 PM: While the Window World technicians busied themselves with the above-mentioned project, I worked on administering and catching up on this blog.
01:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
03:30 PM: I put approximately 50 more pounds of cement in the hollow columns between windows 1 and 2, and windows 2 and 3 here in my first floor office. This should add lots of mass to that wall and thus, stop it from vibrating and thereby transmitting more road noise from the west yard into here. However, I won’t know just how effective this strategy will be until I completely fill those columns and completely seal the extra piece of inner glass I’ve added to these windows. Lots of sound can enter through very small holes, and with this glass not being sealed entirely, there are many gaps. I’m sure that the traffic noise is finding its way in here through each and every one of those gaps.
05:00 PM: Listened to my iPod Touch while walking around the house, checking out the new windows. Love them.
05:45 PM: Watched the 2012-01-30 episode of Dr. Phil, called Unforgivable Acts?
06:35 PM: Watched the 2012-01-31 episode of Dr. Phil, called What Were You Thinking?
07:25 PM: Watched the 2012-02-01 (today’s) episode of Dr. Phil, called Double Trouble: Violent Twins.
10:00 PM: Watched tonight’s edition of NBC’s Nightly News broadcast via the DVR.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy].
11:15 AM: I’m heading to bed. Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content. 
Good night.
