Español! Westside! CPAP! Plants! 1.14.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:39 pm  

Cold morning!

Español!

OYB!

K and I went to Westside BC this morning

I finally made the bed in Nana’s room.

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.

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father.

Recorded and released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “System Settings.”

Mulch! Tire! Gloves! 1.12.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:54 pm  

OYB!

Rainy day.

Español!

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.

Español! Azalea! PE-Gymnastics 1.11.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:20 pm  

Just keep going.

OYB!

Lovely day, but cold is coming next week. Brrrrr.

Español!

Walked 1.53 miles.

Made Jessi some sandwiches.

Started reading one of J’s books.

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.

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:16 pm  

Glad this is coming although I made a copy from the info on line.

Ordered groceries.

OYB!

Español!

Walked 2.38 miles. Thirteen hills.

Cold.

Listened to Don Cheto.

I love Penelope’s art.

Helped the kids with their homework.

Took Penelope and Everly home then went to check the mail at the office.

Picked up the groceries and put them away.

I worked on creating a new Whirlwind Missions donor sheet for 2024.

Strong competition this week.

Flooding! Insurance! 1.9.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:07 pm  

Cold! Lots of rain and windy! I didn’t go to the mission today because of weather advisories, plus the kids have very little homework right now with Milestone testing.

Always learning new words.

I got K in touch with the Progressive agent so she could tell them what happened with the column she bumped into.

OYB!

Español.

Talked with Anthony.

Lots of rain in our area. The river near our house was flooding. Reattached the drainage pipe to the gutter.

Sent pictures and the proposal to fix the column to Progressive again.

Sent Mr. Wilson Bill Kelly’s info so he could talk to him about the repair.

Shows at Stone Mountain this year. The girls and I have gone to a lot of these.

Listened to Don Cheto while I was resting.

Español! Hike! PE! Mission! 1.8.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:07 pm  

OYB!

Español! Came in the top three last week.

Hiked up and down my hill eleven times for a total of 2.05 miles.

Added a new nose pad on my reading glasses.

Beautiful sky.

Cold and windy.

Talked to my Mom on the way to the mission.

I really enjoy Everly’s art.

I washed and dried my comforter while I was at Azalea.

It was so cold outside that I decided to hold the mission inside. That’s the first time in nearly four years. The schools are doing Milestone tests. They don’t give kids any homework during that. Second grade and below are exempt.

Went to my office to check the mail.

There looks to be about five serious students this week. My guess is I’ll come in third again. We’ll see!

Español! Hike! Anthony! Tree! 1.7.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:40 pm  

Jessi and I are thinking about going to see the solar eclipse around Austin on April 8th. It coincides with some of the grandgirl’s Spring Break.

OYB!

Español!

Cold and windy.

Hiked 1.58 miles up and down the Pitty Pat hill. Eight hills.

Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony. He was helping his wife get the horse trailer back in to the barn.

Took the Christmas lights off of the Norfolk Island Pine and put the light strands back in storage.

Don’t stop.

Español! Worked hard this week.

OYB!

Just keep going.

Laundry!

Went to Publix to pick up meds for J and K.

Recorded and released a new episode of Verbal Surgery “Test Game.”

Don’t stop.

Español! Walk! Publix! 1.5.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:31 pm  

Some good news in 2024!

Good to know.

This shirt for K got lost on the way from China. So it goes. At least I got my money back.

OYB!

Español!

Little warmer today.

Walked 2.72 miles. That’s the most I’ve done since I’ve been sick.

Listened to Don Cheto.

Went to Publix to get J’s prescription going. I’ll have to go back tomorrow to pick it up.

Ate at Hot and Cold after Publix.

I thought the shadow of this con trail was cool.

Keep pushing.
