For some reason, the shortcut to my blog was missing on my Mac. I figured out how to put it back.

First day back working with the kids at the Mission. I decided to stay outside as much as possible. Better to be seen.

A van from a local market came through the community selling bread. They were playing the “Panadero” song.

Notes! Anthony! Podcast! 8.9.26

Tim A. Cummins @ 4:59 pm  

I’ve been interested in brain technology since I was in my early twenties. I had a Muse device I really enjoyed using until it stopped working. Last night I decided to invest in another device. I think it’s going to be fun to use.

Screenshot
Screenshot

Last night I went through the Thank You card art that the kids at the Mission had helped me with. I’m going to let them make some more for me this week. I got all the labels on the envelopes so I can start writing notes.

OYB!

Cleaned the front glass door.

Español! Vocabulario!

Screenshot
Screenshot

Sweaty.

Fun chat with my buddy Anthony.

I have four hummingbird feeders. I mixed up fresh solution, brought all the feeders inside and cleaned and refilled them. Then hung them back up.

Refilled seed and suet feeders and cleaned and refilled the birdbaths.

Cleaned my shoes.

Took my Mom to get her hair washed and dried. Did the nails this time as well.

The ring of fire is blasting.

Screenshot

Picked up groceries.

Screenshot
After I loaded the groceries in my car,

I went inside the store to pick up some sugar and suet. All the carts were outside. The ones by the way didn’t work. Hard to push.

I walked close to half a mile. Very back left to the very front right of the store. I was glad the Walmart app tells you what aisle the stuff you’re looking for is on.

It’s all about longevity and continued immersion as much as possible.

Kathy lost her favorite visor a few days ago. I called the park to see if they had a lost and found. I went to check but her hat wasn’t there.

Laundry.

Went to Goodwill to look for visors for K.

I don’t think I’ve heard anything different.

Took the package with the iPhone 14 in it to the UPS Store. I made sure to get a receipt.

Checked with Ashley to verify if she was going to be able to get the girls on the 27th.

Heard some big thunderstorms just east of us.

So much to learn.

I didn’t think this was a good place to panhandle.

One day at a time.

Screenshot

Took pictures of K’s iPhone 14 Pro Max before sending it back to the seller tomorrow.

I had to include a few papers verifying the sale and order.

I got an email today from Peachtree Corners BC. They are cutting me out of their budget after this year. Sad. Doesn’t represent much money. Just that I had been a partner of theirs for thirty years. Those early years were particularly scary. PCBC really came through for us. I always did my very best for them.

Big storms blew through Chamblee. Missed our house completely.

I thought these tiny mushrooms were cool. They were hard like polypores.

K came into town with me. We picked the girls up at the school bus and took them to eat at Waffle House.

Penelope’s picture for me at WH.

We followed a big storm back to our house.

Screenshot

I contacted BackMarket this evening and explained the situation with the phone. Hopefully, I’ll get it over to FedEx to send it to the phone repair place tomorrow.

Screenshot

Number one is solidly taken. Second and third could be tight.

Everly was especially happy to see her friend Kyndal again!

We met them over at the Buford Highway Farmers Market. We also went to Chinatown for a quick visit.

Took the girls home after we finished with the team. Never too much Ashley! Everly was still sad that her friend had left.

As far as I know, this is the first team for 2027. I started at new folder on Google Drive for the info.

He may push this evening and I’ll come in second. If so, I’m happy for him. Doesn’t matter much to me.
