Tuesday, night, 6-24-26:

 Nice day.  Yesterday, did some weed eating and was amazed how well, physically, I am doing.  No spring chicken, but food is doing great, taking my medicine better, and getting better sleep with the magnesium and melatonin is helping.  AI will never be a 'friend', but it does provide quick feedback and quick answers on which to improve your thinking.  In a way, it is a conversion: you ask the questions, it gives you 'its' answers.  And then, you develop more questions or you stop.  Been holding conversations about science: dark energy, dark matter, photons, protons, particles, energy, matter, mass, and a lot of details in between.  There might be some errors or misinformation in the feedback, but overall, informative.  Keeping things simple: the universe is energy, with matter and mass functions of the energy.  It is all the details and things that make up energy that is interesting.  It does provide a lot to think about.  If the physical world is basically energy, then what is 'consciousness', what is 'spirit'?  What is love?  What is hate?  What is good?  What is evil?  If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding 'into'?  What is bigger than the universe?  Science and life.  Never ending questions.  But all having the final answer: God.  Do people really, truly understand how big the universe is?  And if God rules it all, whew???  Had a couple of Amazon packages stolen.  Took awhile to get replacement ones to come in tomorrow.  Will hopefully be ready for them tomorrow.  UPS is delivering it this time.  They didn't leave it on my porch the last time, under the carport on a table.  Assume someone was following the delivery person and stole the packages.  Well, hope all goes well tomorrow, which is now today, haha.  Anxious for my new computer to come in, whenever.  But learning to slow down and not be so anxious.  It will get it here when it gets here???  Ugh.  Been trying to get onto my doctor's website for the last hour or more: MyChart.  Ain't working.  Oh, boy, need blood work for next week.  Guess I will have to call tomorrow.  All the money these companies and businesses made and they have trouble with their websites.  Well, let me leave you all until another time.  YES, the Mutt, Chance, is doing fine.  After a bunch of treats, think he ate some of his regular dog food, haha.  He is so bad.  Until later, take care, be safe.  God bless.  Sure Penelope has forgotten Chance and him being a 'dog' sure he has forgotten her.  Sad.  Caring in the world seems to be getting less and less everyday.  Sad.

Sunday night, Monday Morning: 6/22/26

Looking around my desk Sunday night to see how maybe I could move some things and get a little better organized for my new computer.  Trying to fight the feeling of buying a new hub for my USBs.  Decided to move my printer to the other end of my desk.  Had a little folding table there from a couple of weeks ago after I got my clothes rack for the end of my folding screen I use for dividing my desk from my bed.  Anyway, worked out great.  Moved some cables around and felt good.  Then, I noticed that a little stand I have at the end of my dresser would be better than the folding table.  OH, MY GOD!  The little stand matched the one the printer was under before, so now I would have two matching stands at each end of my 'L' desk.  Changed the folding table and stand.  Realized I had it backward for something I wanted to do, so had to turn the stand around.  Wasn't much.  Than realized the other stand needed to be turned, too.  Oh, boy.  Then, got the inkling to move my monitor so I could open a door on my desktop against the wall.  Man, opened a can of worms.  Started to move things around.  Now, needed to move my wall clock because the monitor was blocking it.  Needed to get on a step stool a few times, moved frames around but couldn't get them all to workout.  So, took Mom out, put the clock higher, my grandparents lower.  Janet and Pee lower and together to the other side.  Got it done.  Got things organized on my desk.  Not perfect but I can live with it.  Will have to get use to the monitor being off centered but think I can live with that, too.  Only, I have one webcam I have to deal with, its cable isn't long enough to sit well on my monitor.  It is a USB-C, not USB-A.  Have a little hub to lengthen its cable but it isn't quite long enough.  So, either another hub, try to stretch or arrange the cable and hub better, or get a new hub.  Or, maybe use an adapter I have to convert the USB-C to an USB-A.  Gemini, here I come.  Anyway, after organizing my desk, decided to clean out my closet some and see what cables I had besides the ones near my desk.  Been having the urge for the past few days.  Whew!  Took awhile but got here done.  Throwing away a lot of junk and organized the rest.  Still more organizing could be done, but for another day.  Took most of the early morning.  Now, just resting a little before moving on.  "Midway," playing.  Did a lot of walking.  Was hoping to get outside today, besides going for the garbage can, but not sure now.  That clock is still screwed up, haha.  So much more organizing I can do around the house, haha.  Decisions, decisions.  Walking around the house, noticed something I don't remember dealing with before or seeing before.  A patch from Penelope's Karate.  Sure she doesn't remember those days.  Not sure how it got to where it is at now.  Keep or get rid of???  Later.  Still haven't slept.  Spent hours checking out the wiring, devices, cables, etc. of my current computer and my new computer (I downloaded its manual).  So many cables and a bunch of devices.  Figured it out how I am going to do things, which device will to go which port and so forth.  Didn't get a new hub, but did get an extension cable.  Decided on a new stand for my folding table.  Gotta keep Amazon busy.  Going to change a few things around on the computer but not much.  Never will do all the fancy videos that the machine can do, but will make it easier for the one I do do.  "The Outlaw Joey Wales."  The dog, ugh.  Food, outside, more treats, ugh.  Deciding whether to finish the movie and nap or go get the garbage can and toss the junk from the closet.  Made me think when I might get the locker and chest from the back and see if Gemini can help me open them.  Don't want to get into anyone's personal stuff, but can't hold it forever.  Thought Hoot had a bible and would hate for it to be in the chest, but no one apparently cares.  Well, will end here.  Do have a great Monday, take care, be safe, God bless.  Have a great week, too.  Not as rainy they say, but still hot.  Not sure how I got a screenshot from helping my brother with his Tv and soundbar.  Used Gemini by speaking to it with my phone, no laptop.  It helped some.

Sunday night, 6-21-26

Pretty humid outside today.  Hope it is better tomorrow.  Gotta get outside tomorrow for a little bit and do some weed eating.  Anxious to get my new computer.  Made a list of all my apps.  It takes awhile to reinstall them into a new computer, but it is challenging which makes it interesting.  About a week and a half to go.  Hopefully, sooner.  Gemini says it is a pretty nice machine, haha.  Am feeling a little nice, in that, my credit score went up 37 points.  Still only at a good level, which is great, but in six-months it will shoot up a lot.  Janet consolidated debts years ago and it didn't work out very well, haha.  Chance is eating his treats better, in that, he doesn't watch me so much that I might be taking it back.  Seems more relaxed sometimes when eating.  Not so alarmed.  Tree frogs on the glass door.  Haha.  Oh, my.  Sleeping better and doing better with my medicine seems to be helping me.  We shall see.  Read article about the black hole in the middle of our Milky Way system.  Amazing how much we can tell from here, haha.  The black hole is 26,000 light years from us.  460 million years it would take us to travel there.  A photon does it in a flash???  Gemini/Google Search isn't a friend, but it is fun getting answers real quick.  Isn't perfect, but right most of the time.  "I, Robot."  I watch it a lot.  Can a machine ever become a 'living' machine, like humans???  Do have a great Monday.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.  As well as I have my files put together, they are a mess.  Have some videos on YouTube which I am not sure where to find them on my computer???  Have I lost them???  Fun comes in weird ways, haha.
