06:50 AM: I’m up.
07:05 AM: Facebooked for a bit. Friend count: 633 (unchanged). Fan count: 113 (unchanged).
07:45 AM: Leaving now with sister Jojo to visit Mom and to perform some shopping. Back later.
09:00 AM: We’ve finished shopping at Wal Mart. I just picked up some fresh fruit, more Sogave! flavored agave nectar, some milk, and margarine.
11:00 AM: Next we stopped at the Good Will and Salvation Army stores, to look for some warm sweaters and sweatshirts for Mom. We found eight of these for her and paid less than thirty dollars. Hey, I love deals like this; particularly since, with Mom now in the nursing home, she has very little money to spend on clothing.
03:00 PM: We visited with Mom for the past hour. One of her close friends surprised us by stopping in as well, and she talked with Mom for nearly a half-hour. Now, we’re attending a birthday celebration for a few of the other residents, in the main dining room.
04:15 PM: We’re heading home now. Mom was in a pretty good mood and wide awake.
04:25 PM: I’m back home. Sister Jojo inspected my installation of the curtains here in the office and gave it a thumbs-up.
04:30 PM: Nap time. Back later.
07:30 PM: I’m up again.
08:15 PM: Posted the Tom’s Views –> Terro Liquid Ant Baits Review piece. Perhaps it’s due to the warm winter weather we’re experiencing this year. But many small ants appeared the other day in my kitchen and bathroom. So I purchased today a package of four of these Terro Liquid Ant Baits. I’ve used these before and found them to work exceedingly well.
10:00 PM: Read about search engine optimization. Hopefully I can find something in this voluminous information that will cause much more traffic to be driven to my blogs.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy].
11:10 PM: I’m heading to bed. Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content. Good night.

08:45 AM: I’m up.
09:00 AM: Facebooked for a bit. Friend count: 633 (up one). Fan count: 113 (unchanged).
12:00 PM: Removed the lattice work frame from beneath the south porch. You’ll recall that I had to detach the lattice work itself last month while upgrading the basement windows to glass block assemblies. Well, it’s time to put the lattice work back together now that those basement window upgrades are finished. As this frame was nailed in with the nail heads sunk into the wood, I had to actually break the nails apart with a chisel and hammer. No problem however. Once the nail bodies were snapped by chiseling, the could be easily pulled out from both the lattice frame work wood and the porch itself.
12:30 PM: Unfortunately, the chiseling broke the lattice work frame. So, I just glued it back together and clamped it. The glue should be completely dry in the next day or two.
02:00 PM: Watched the 2012-02-16 and 2012-02-17 episodes of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
02:20 PM: Watched last night’s edition of NBC’s Nightly News via the DVR.
05:30 PM: Leaving now for an evening ‘out on the town’ at a local club with sister Christine, her husband, and a couple of their friends. They believe that my knowledge of popular music due to my disc jockey experience, will help their team win tonight. Well, we’ll see.
12:30 AM: I’m back home. Our team indeed did win. The winning song was the Jimmy Castor Bunch’s hit Troglodyte. Many of the songs I did not know however, and even if I did, the group and song title often eluded me. But apparently, we all knew enough to place first in tonight’s contest. The bar atmosphere of the club was much more enjoyable than I recall in decades past, now that many bars and clubs no longer allow smoking within. Though the scene tonight was a crowded and noisy one, I really enjoyed myself. Thanks go to sister Christine for inviting me. Perhaps next month, we’ll do it again.
12:35 AM: I’m heading to bed. Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content. Good night.
