I’m meeting with Russell Mann tomorrow morning to show him around the International Village. He’ll be bringing a team next Summer if all goes well.

I’m working on getting my Mom’s car transferred into my name and an ID card for her. Lots of moving parts putting all this stuff together including title, insurance and emissions certificate. I talked to my car insurance agent John Thomas at Progressive to get the coverage research rolling.

K and I are making plans for our trip to Clayton later this month.

OYB!

Español! I’m working with Duolingo and Unedo.

Hiked .62 miles in 17.45 minutes. I’m studying as I’m hiking up and down my hill.

Set up my colonoscopy appointment.

K and I picked up the grandgirls at the bus and took them to Taco Veloz. Thursday is Pop Pop’s day.

Got more information on the melatonin spit test project that Jessi is going to take. It measures when the body is actually primed to go to sleep.

Happy children.

I still need to make an appointment for the dermatologist and the dentist.

Keep on.

Our neighbors finally took down the hideous decorations they had on their mailbox. I think they may have moved.

Hiked .89 miles. I used to think of exercise primarily in distance. Now, I’m thinking in terms of how much time I spend exercising. The research say 150 minutes or 2.5 hours is what we need per week. I’ve done about 2.0 hours so far this week. Runkeeper is one of my favorite apps. I love how sophisticated these health apps are. So much data!

Had a fun lunch with my buddy, Jon Paul today. He’s such a great guy! He’s also the treasurer of Whirlwind Missions, so he signs my reimbursement checks. We take care of business after having lunch.

I’ve had a text conversation with J’s sleep doctor. I ordered the Melatonin onset kit today. We’re doing our best to help J get better rest. She’s suffered so long feeling exhausted.

There was some updated information on the labs that I did last week. Even though my glusose was above what it should be, it still wasn’t in the pre-diabetic range.

K and I picked up the girls at the bus. We ate at Waffle House today. I had a car windshield glaring me in the face, so I put my hat on to cover that side of my face but it looked pretty wacky. The girls were dying laughing.

K and I helped the kids at the Mission.

Picked up my groceries on the way home.

It will be close, but I reckon I’ll come in second.

Cool morning.

I wore my old blue jeans. The newer pair needed washing, which I did along with the rest of the laundry.

Here’s the data from the visit.

I was notified about some black dude who was cutting through Azalea. I let the manager know

Coordinating with Mom’s PT team.

I’ll probably come in second place this week.

These articles have been really good. “Ahorita” was explained. It literally means “Just a moment,” but apparently, it can mean pretty much anytime. Maybe even later this month! I’ve enjoyed the Unedo app.

OYB!

Came in fourth place last week.

Two of my baby rose bushes are blooming. I love the candy stripe look.

Español!

Beautiful weather.

I’ve been to this museum in Mexico City. It was one of the lessons from Unedo.

I started walking up and down my hill again. It usually takes me about 45 minutes to drink my coffee. I’ll exercise while I’m doing the last of my lessons. Another about thirty minutes. I can’t do lessons, hold a phone and a coffee cup.

I took J’s blanket and washed it in one of the industrial washing machines at Azalea.

We picked up the girls and took them to Bobby’s cheeseburgers.

The girls had fun doing their cheerleader routines. They would call out the letters of their sister’s name.

Coordinating Mom’s PT appointments.

She goes to the eye doctor tomorrow morning.

Ordered J’s medical equipment.

I’ve had my Mom’s bags on and under a six foot table in my room. This evening, I took an inventory of the six bags remaining to unpack and put away. I’ll be glad to get that table put up.

Interesting.

I put three bags straight in the dumper.

Got kind of hot.

Vocabulary with Unedo. I’ve enjoyed the puzzles and the “sparks” little articles about Latin life.

Went for my “annual” physical. My blood pressure was a little high. They drew blood from my hand. I saw Dr. Lee. I thought she did a good job, but the exam wasn’t particularly thorough.

I took my old foam mattress off my bed, cut it up into pieces and put them in garbage bags to be thrown away. My new mattress is not nearly as dense.

Swept all the little pieces up.

Did laundry.

Took my Mom to get a hair cut. She liked her new hair dresser.

I saw these locks in the parking lot.

Keep going.

Vocabulario!

I like looking at the transcript of Don Cheto.

I put my new hummingbird feeder pole up this morning. Fun to watch the little birds. Having one in front of the house will give the other feeders less competition. He can’t chase what he can’t see.

I set up a new storage area container for my Mom.

I put my Mom’s new side table together.

I got to use my new screwdrivers. Amen.

I did a lot of yard work as well as biking.

Good chat with my buddy Anthony who is currently in Brazil.

We had a scare at the bus today. Everyone got off except for our two! Turns out Penelope got hit in the face with a ball and got a bloody nose. The teachers decided it was better for us to come get them because they weren’t sure how badly it was going to keep one bleeding. She was fine when we go there.

Ate at the Buford Highway Farmers Market with PE.

After we ate, we got some mango ice cream. Great marketing!

Renae at the church printed the newsletter. I added stamps to about thirty and stuffed all the envelopes. Went to the Post Office to get them in the mail stream.

Had a fun chat with my buddy Anthony. He always cracks me up.

Ordered groceries.

Gorgeous weather.
