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.

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.

Gas! Fluids! Anthony! Gymnastics! 1.4.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:12 pm  

Keep trying, even when I’m sick.

OYB!

Español!

Fun chat with Anthony!

Interesting article on AI.

Got the newsletters in the mail.

Listened to Don Cheto.

Gassed up my car. Added oil and transmission fluid.

Good talk with my Mom!

Picked up the girls from the bus and took them to gymnastics. BOTH the girls are doing it now. We got Everly changed to Penelope’s time period so we don’t have to wait the extra hour.

Went by my office to check the mail.

I got a cherry pie from Walmart. Baked it this evening. SO good!

Anthony! Miles! PE! Newsletters! 1.3.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:39 pm  

OYB!

Frosty!

I took Kathy to the hospital today to do a CT scan on her heart. I hope everything is ok. Scary.

Walked 1.87 miles.

Español!

Sewed up K’s bag.

Fun talk with my buddy Anthony. Been awhile since we’ve talked because I’ve been sick.

Listened to Don Cheto.

Miles offered to let me have the day off, but I had too many things to do in Chamblee: talk to the insurance guy, and newsletters.

I’m keeping K and Mr. Wilson in the loop about the developments of the repair of the column.

I love these Pileated Woodpeckers. The pair were together right before I took this picture. Fantastic.

We need to clean up the area behind the mission.

Most of the stuff I put inside.

Miles was glad to see his girls! So was I!

Deposited checks. Thank you, Jesus.

Took the girls to Taco Veloz.

Keep working.

I still need to fold up the newsletters and get them ready to mail. I worked on getting the TV in Penelope’s room working instead. Can’t say I did a satisfactory job because the monitor didn’t have speakers.

Stamps! Walmart! Rest! 1.2.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:05 pm  

Sounds like a lot of people are sick. I certainly have been. K, J and I have all gotten flu and Covid 19 shots. Didn’t seem to help me much. The doctors always say, “You could have been a lot worse without the shot. I reckon that could be true.

Cold!

I sent Tim Deter’s contact information to Ruthie North. Hope he can help them!

OYB!

Put the vacuum cleaner back together after I cleaned it and vacuumed the kitchen.

Washed my clothes and all my bedding. I hope to clean my comforter tomorrow at Azalea.

Walked 1.77 miles.

Mileage.

I was in touch with Bill Kelly who is going to repair the column, Progressive car insurance and Mr Wilson, K’s boss today.

Paid bills.

Checked and added transmission fluid to my car.

Went to the Post Office to buy stamps. Looked like they had painted the buildings in the complex.

Went to Walmart to pick up some hot chocolate mix and more nose drops. Being stopped up is my main symptom now, besides feeling tired.

Put the stamps on the letters. I should get the copies made tomorrow and the letters into the mail soon after.

Looks like another cold night coming.

Even though I’ve been sick, I’ve continued to put time in on Español. There are five really strong students this week. That is unusual.

1500! Comcast Cable! Walk! 1.1.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:23 pm  

I came in #3 last week in the Duolingo leagues.

OYB!

Ordered groceries.

That’s a lot of days in a row!

Ashley asked me about helping the grandgirls tomorrow. I’m still not feeling well, but I was willing to try. Fortunately, K is going to go in for me. Amen.

Our upstairs TV has had connection problems. This morning the Comcast guys ran a new cable to it. The old cable can’t fully carry the load. Unfortunately, the signal coming from the street is still low so there will be more maintenance needed. It’s affecting our street.

I had to move a lot of stuff out of the way before they could drill through the wall.

I got everything put back in place.

Walked 1.89 miles.

Vacuumed after I put the stuff back up.

Showed K how to get to Ashley’s house.

K’s health insurance card hasn’t come in yet, however I was able to take a picture of the card on line and print that up. There’s always a work around.

Picked up the groceries. Also went inside to get a few treats for our anniversary.

Listened to Don Cheto.

Push forward.
