Frigid today. One of the few times I actually stayed inside to study Español.
Spanish!
OYB!
Kathy’s sister Ann’s phone wasn’t working. I tried charging it up to no avail. Today, I set up an appointment at the Apple Store for their techs to take a look at it. They hooked it up to two different laptops and the phone wouldn’t restore. So it’s time to get another one. We went to the ATT store to see if Ann had insurance but because I wasn’t on the registered user list I couldn’t do that. So we took it over to her daughter’s house to talk with the ATT. We did our best to get it working!
After dropping off the phone, we had a walk around Northlake Mall. When we first got back to the States, that mall was booming. Now it’s like a ghost town.
Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Hocus Focus 2.”
Called my Mom on her birthday! Happy Birthday, Nana!
Ordered groceries.
Listened to Don Cheto.
Talked to the manager of Azalea about working on the lights in the living room. I got some new bulbs for the fluorescent lights, but the fan light doesn’t turn on.
Did my laundry.
Water bottle froze.
Picked up the grandgirls. Took them to eat at my office.
I thought this table might work for Everly’s room, but it’s a little too big.
Got the mail. I’ll deposit the checks tomorrow. Thank you, Lord.
Searched my storage room for the Nintendo 64’s but couldn’t find them.
Always great to spend time with the grandgirls.
I picked up a new jacket for Everly at Goodwill on Monday. Penelope was looking for a new jacket today, but we couldn’t find one. She finally settled on a nice vest that I had gotten her last year that she could wear with her hoody.
We spotted some icicles. I broke them off for the girls to crunch on.
Picked up the groceries on the way home. Beautiful sky while I was at Walmart.
This morning I noticed that my screen protector had a small crack. I changed it out this evening. My first try didn’t work. It happens when there is dust or something on the screen.
Tried to teach Kathy how to use the Kindle app on her iPhone today.
So cold and getting colder!
OYB!
Helped K get a personal hygiene tool.
Español!
With the super cold weather coming, I decided to turn on my space heater. It’ll probably be running for the next several days. It got down to 53 in my room last night.
Jessi’s desk chair broke. I took it apart and put it in the dumpster this morning.
Watered my upstairs plants.
Paid bills.
Connected with my buddy Manuel to see about getting a new kitchen faucet installed soon. The old one leaks when you’re running water.
There are five really good students this week. We’ll all have to work hard.

Worked on K’s CPAP today. The filter was super clogged up. Bought a new one coming tomorrow. It already worked a lot better just be cleaning it off some!
Watered the plants in my green room.
Listened to Don Cheto.
Finished strong this week.

Went to Lowes to pick up six bags of mulch for my banana plants (I hope that will protect them from the cold!) and to make a key for Kathy.
Added 1 fl oz of transmission fluid to my car.
Put the mulch on top of the banana plants. Should help.
Kathy’s back tire had a screw in it. I pumped it back up and later took it to Chamblee to get plugged. While I was there, we determined that she needs new tires.
My phone hasn’t been getting any cellular data. I called Mint today. They reset my phone network. Seems to be working better now. Amen.
My Isotoner gloves had the leather protection pieces start to come off. I figured out using a highlighter marker to put in the glove to act like my finger so I could sew the pieces back on.
Sent Bill Kelly some information so he could contact the insurance guys.
I think this is the most I’ve ever worn out a pair of tennis shoes. I’ll still use them to work outside. I’ve kept all my old shoes. I cleaned some of them off, put some new shoelaces in them and repainted them with white leather paint. We’ll see how they look!
I have new hours for my tutor time at Azalea Place. I’m starting now at 3PM with the elementary students. I should be finished with them by the time the middle schoolers get there around 4:30 PM.
It’s definitely warmer when I start earlier.
Checked the mail at my office.
Kathy went with me to Azalea. We checked out P&E’s gymnastics class. K got to spend some good time with Ashley. Always a blessing.
They’re getting much more flexible. It’s a good sport.
Checked on the security of the mission before I left. Blocked a window locked.
Learning takes dedication and time.
