I’ve stopped getting notices when the International Space Station is visible. I looked up their website and wrote a note to NASA about it.
Worked hard on Spanish this week.
Kathy and I are working hard to pay off our credit card debt. Not an easy task with car repairs over $1,500.
OYB!
Just keep going.
Finished cleaning up the vacuum cleaner container. Sprayed some WD40 on the hinge. It was gettin hard to open.
Spent over two hours working on the leaves in my yard. Not an easy job. And there are still a LOT to fall. I find it better to work on at a couple hours at a time. That way I don’t hurt myself.
I use the rake and the blower.
Huge pile of leaves at the northern end of my yard. I’m always trying to flatten that end out to catch more of the rain water.
Español! I found this interesting because in Texas we called little ponds “tanks.” I didn’t know that is was because the word for pond in Spanish sounds like the word “tank.”
Always fun to talk with Anthony.
Walked 2.99 miles.
Did my laundry.
Vacuumed the house.
Worked on clearing the leaves from the south side of the house.
Gassed up the car and checked/added oil.
We were having some problems with our website hosting. Called their tech support and got it squared away.
Cleaned the washing machine.

Fun to see the things we did over the years on Ashley’s birthday!
Still going!
Walked 1.87 miles.
Fun talk with Anthony. He’s still at his Mum’s house. I kind of feel like he is in a situation similar to what I was in in Guatemala: Can’t leave.
Whenever I see words I don’t know I look them up. Are you familiar with these?
Also enjoyed talking with my Mom.
Helped the kids with their homework.
I’ve been working on curtailing my cell phone use to save data. I was using cellular data by accident and used up almost all my data. I’m in “Guatemala Mode” now. I tried only to use wifi at places or at where I was staying to avoid roaming charges. Now I’m finding it interesting where I have wifi (like at El Torreros) instead of just using cell phone data.
Instead of streaming podcasts, I’m downloading them and then playing them on my phone which again uses no cellular data. It’s always fun learning new things. For me that usually happens when I need to! It works out better using the Apple podcast app because I can go back to exactly where I left off. Streaming was always kind of hit or miss.
Went by my office to pick up the mail.
Ashley’s birthday card from Nana came in today. Amen.

Yesterday I got a message from Mint Mobile that said I was 80% through my 5GB for the month. I’ve had my phone on airplane mode since then. My phone is set up to use wifi for calls so everything seems normal. I didn’t leave the house all day long which is rare for me.
Because of trying to save data, I figured out how to put my favorite podcast on record for later so I don’t have to stream it and use cell phone minutes. It’s easy with Apple Podcasts. This is typical for how I learn something when I need to.
Looked up words I heard that I wasn’t sure about.
Just keep going. By Monday I knew I’d win. Fortunately, I had some competition to keep me going, but after a certain point they always give up, same for me.
Rested. Played Battlefront II and watched some of a new Netflix series called Bodies.
