Today Kathy and I have been married thirty-eight years! Sounds like a lot! Sadly, I try to keep my space from the more healthy members of the family. So I’m either downstairs or outside for most of my time.

Ordered groceries.

Went to the Xfinity store to get another set top box for the TV.

Set up the Xfinity app on my phone. Needed it for the installation, apparently.

Got it all set up. Took forever download all the programs.

Interesting mushrooms.

Keeping Mr. Wilson in the loop about the column repair.

Picked up my groceries.

Went to Young World. I had a meeting with my contractor who’s looking into the repair work.

I spent about thirty minutes trying to get through to Xfinity. Finally, made a human connection. She reset out TV Box, but this evening it wasn’t working again. Bahd luck.

Brought my carnivorous plants in. Super cold weather is coming.

Got a new sling bag.

Just keep going.

It’s been a rough few days. I’ve had about 101 degree temperature swopping with being under blankets feeling like I’m freezing. Really achey and coughing as well. That’s not zesty.

OYB!

Came in #2 in Duolingo last week.

I’ve still kept up with my studies of Spanish every day.

I liked this article on resolutions.

No matter how crappy I feel, I’m going to go to Young World tomorrow at noon to get the column that Kathy ran into squared away.

Had chills and fever last night. Coughing a lot. Slept about twelve hours.

Listened to Don Cheto. Did some research on the show.

Watched Reacher. What a great show! Only does one episode a week.

Watched the first episode of Yu You Hakusho. It’s in Japanese. I watch it with Spanish subtitles. Makes me read and try and understand super fast.

I got some bad news last night. My “Uncle” Harold died recently. I grew up with his family in Kenya. He was a hero to me of language study and the idea that I could learn anything if I had a book to teach me.

Always learning new words. Spanish AND English!

I took my Mom to the airport today. This notice kind of alarmed me. Everything turned out fine.

OYB!

We got to the airport in plenty of time.

Had to change plans about working on the column that K hit at Young World.

Listened to Don Cheto. Learned some new family words.

Wrote a letter to ENT of Georgia about a bill for Jessi’s operation. Our insurance should have covered it all.

Ashley sent me some picture of the girls in their back yard. Miles and Ashley have been sick. I’ll pick the girls up tomorrow morning. They’ll spend the night with us Friday night.

Signed up to spot the International Space Station again. I need my Mac Air to sign up. I couldn’t do it on my iPhone.

Just keep going.

Kathy has had some problems going to the bathroom. Went to Walmart last night to get her some meds. She finally went successfully today. Amen.

OYB!

Cold!

Big news. We’ll see what the Supreme Court does.

I worked on Spanish today for around three hours. I woke up early to study, then later I got a text from Ashley saying their whole family was sick, so I didn’t go to get the girls.

Walked 2.62 miles. It had warmed up a little by the time is started.

Ordered groceries.

Chatted with Bill Kelly about looking at the damage that Kathy did at her work place.

Nana decided to go on back to Texas tomorrow. She has a big family event to take care of on Christmas Eve. We will really miss her! I checked her in for the flight.

My windshield wiper fluid is out. I have some more coming. My windshield was super dirty. I cleaned it before I picked up the groceries. I didn’t want to look through it all the way to the airport tomorrow.

I picked up the groceries and put them up.

Blew out the leaves from the garage.

I had a nice nap this afternoon, but I’m still really tired. My throat is still bothering me too.

I love this piece from Dune.

Cold!

Picked up the girls at their house then took them to Waffle House for breakfast.

Went to the Buford Highway Farmers Market to pick up some goodies for Nana and to take home for friends.

Ordered some windshield washer fluid.

We went to Azalea to see how the apartment looked after it had been emptied out.

Went to the UPS store to drop off the clock that was broken in shipment.

We went on Safari to another Farmers Market. It was fun to see Penelope use her camera. I’m teaching her some of the basics and letting her and Everly practice.

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father!

Went to Plaza Fiesta to have some fun.

Had fun at the Brookhaven park.

Keep going.

Came in #2 this week. Good effort.

OYB!

Cold!

Nana went with me to take care of the grandgirls today.

Worked on getting the column at Kathy’s work fixed. Talked with my Progressive car insurance guy and Bill Kelly who will do the repairs.

I liked the art the girls did for me today.

Love being with my Mom and the grandgirls.

We went to Goodwill, Perimeter Mall and Pet Smart. I enjoyed watching Penelope use her new camera to take pictures.

It was a fun subject for her. Here are some of our shots.

At Perimeter Mall we played a guessing game as to what shoes the other people liked the best. We had fun.

We also went of Brook Run Park for fifteen minutes. I only let them stay out that long because of the cold.

Got gas and checked the oil on the way home. I get mine at Walmart and was able to use my .10 cent discount tonight.

Jessi has been doing some cool experiments with mushrooms.

OYB!

Not great weather today.

I told Anthony about this documentary this morning. We were talking about the tallest mountains in the brain.

Washed my bed clothes.

The clock they sent me had the glass busted. I’m sending it back.

Kathy, Nana and I went to visit Ashley, Miles and the girls in their new house. We enjoyed Thai food and had a little Christmas party before my Mom has to go back to Texas on Thursday. We had fun!

Checked on the school calendar to make sure the girls went back on the third.

I’ll come in the top three this week.

Girls had fun with Jessi doing science. These are special glasses that help you look straight up.

Ashley and Miles got their stuff moved over from Azalea to their new house that they’re renting.

OYB!

I love Everly’s art.

Walked .64 miles.

We went to the Library Park with Nana.

Started drizzling in the afternoon. Kept up most of the rest of the day. We were planning to go back to Stone Mountain so Penelope could shoot pictures with her new camera she got for Christmas. Couldn’t because of the weather.

I made lemon squares this evening. Yum.
