Monday, night

Monday, night.  Boiled shrimp, peeled, of course, for the first time.  Eating them now.  Will have to do this more often.  I love shrimp and boiling them isn't too difficult.  Got a cup of them, now, and put the rest in the fridge.  Do have to go through the cabinets and organize them.  Toss some stuff and put some stuff in other places.  Store some.  A new learning experience.  Do a little better with the seasoning.  Shrimp should be healthy for me.  Have to watch my buying of stuff.  Have stuff in the pantry which I need to eat up first, then streamline my food choices.  Start slimming down.  Eating right, but at the same time, make it tasty for me.  Gotta out live this mutt, Chance.  I still remember Mr. Lance.  That was one of the most difficult times in my life having him put down.  Janet and I knew he was pretty young but he was sick inside.  He was a bred Bichon, but came out a misfit.  Long back legs, tall, more like a poodle.  Anyway, he deserved better, a longer life.  I cried so hard the day we left him at the vet.  If I know then what I know now, I would have stayed with him until they put him down.  Just one more regret in my life.  Kinda have an emotional side like my dad.  He didn't let it out often, but he was a kind hearted man.  See if I can find some photos of Mr. Lance.  And Mr. Louis.  Haha.  Got some photos.  Later.  Picture done.  Do take care, be safe.  God bless.  Going to try to stay off FB tomorrow.  May post some articles, but slow down with the diary stuff, haha.  

Monday, July 20th

100 degrees outside, today.  510 degrees inside.  The Mutt was a vacuum cleaner today.  Eating, eating and eating.  Mostly treats and a few of his regular biscuits.  Back and forth to my doorway wanting food.  The pig.  One last trip to my door for me to let him out.  Now, he is sacked out.  Whew, had to go bathe in some ice to cool down.  Not really.  Those days are gone, haha.  The thing with cold bathes, is that, they are cold.  Chance does make me laugh, almost as much as Penelope did.  Haha.  Did a little video on Gemini to see how it would turn out.  Did a great job for the time I put into writing the prompt.  Gotta watch how to word your prompt.  Detailed, but not too much details.  Give Gemini a little leeway.  Gotta watch the terms you use.  No phone calls, today.  Maybe tomorrow.  Well, do have a great evening.  Sleep well, dream sweet dreams.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.  

Sunday night, 7-19-26

Sunday, night.  That dog is hungry tonight.  Went out and did what I had to do.  Not everything I wanted to do.  Haha.  Removed the weeds around the A/C and electric pole in the back.  Want to get the A/C person to come out and check the A/C to be on the safe side for the rest of the summer.  Want to get an electrician out to check the short in Penelope's bath and bedroom.  Whew, have to do some calling tomorrow???  Got wagon, mower, and my two weed eaters.  On one the string go stuck almost right away; on the other, cut a little more but a big piece of weed wrapped around and it got stuck.  Went to carport to get a rake and, luckily, my long-handled brush trimmer was there.  Thought they were inside.  Anyway, got the weeds cut on that side of the house.  The biggest issue was watching my step with all the tall weeds after they fell.  The rake helped a lot there.  Worked until I felt like I couldn't go anymore.  Getting old, normally, in younger days would drive myself until I was almost done for.  Took a cool shower.  Didn't have to sit on the floor completely exhausted.  Done that many a times.  So, guess I am growing up, haha.  Sitting here with a snack, chicken soup/graham crackers, trying to recoup.  It takes awhile.  Two days straight of working outside takes a big toll on me.  One day, will have to get a manager for the property, maybe.  Don't really get many visitors to justify it.  Life goes on.  Going to make a horror picture tonight.  Haha.  "The Horror" came out pretty good.  I had this wound for over 3 years.  Didn't really keep time records.  From time stamps, would say a little more.  The wound wasn't the worst part: Janet being in the hospital with COVID and all the crap going on in the house was worse, losing another toe, and another wound on the other food, for about two years+.  Luckily it was on side of the foot, but it made me miss the disease I caught that ate away some of the bones in my right foot.  Luckily, the disease ended its life before I found out I had it.  Guess I could have lost more bones???  Still a little whipped.  "The Parent Trap," the new one.  Do have a great Monday.  Take care, be safe.  God bless.  Don't know how I got through it all almost on my own.  My brother did take me to get a toe cut off, so that helped.  Did appreciate it.  Anyway, all water under the bridge.  Life goes on.  The main point of it all, Penelope was taken care of.  Think mom would be proud of me, but still would laugh and joke about it.  As for Valentine, she would probably giggle a little bit, too.  Sure she and my other guardian angels, Aunt Lillian, Mother Mary, and Mom, looked over me.  Thanks you all.  Janet's sister helped the best she could do and others, too.  Doctors and nurses.  Definitely, God.  Just don't know why?????  

Saturday, night/Sunday, 7-19-26

Coming out of my bath, The Mutt was sacked out by my pillow.  Oh, my.  The bath was nice.  Developing a good routine.  Did do some thinking on Space/Time and Relatively.  And Esther.  Have an old trampoline in the yard.  Will have to take it down one day.  It design got me to thinking.  With have to have a conversation with Google Search or Gemini.  I am only a layman, but then, isn't all mankind.  Just something that interests me.  Might have to do some writing on it.  Then, I have another project I might do.  Also, on my mind, is finding a little gift for Penelope.  Can only assume she gets them, but that is only part of the equation.  Not sure what to get her, haha.  Will see.  "I, Frankenstein".  Used Gemini to make a little video, well, two, yesterday, or was it the day before.  A cute little bunny rabbit.  Interesting.  Until tomorrow, I mean, later today, haha.  Later.  Finished a picture, "REAL".  A gift from God.  Some people might get it, but most won't.  "The Parent Trap," 1961.  Like this one the best, but the other one is good, too.  Seen them both a million times.  Hope bed is after.  CHANCE, still sacked out.  Later.  Slept well.  My new morning drink seems to be helping in different ways.  The thing, is that, it is so easy to do: to make and to clean up.  It was 100 degrees at a little past 2:00 here.  Having a breakfast of oatmeal and graham crackers and water (ugh).  Heat advisory is over at 6:00, so hopefully, can get myself outside for a little yard work.  Will see.  Do have a great evening, night.  Sleep peacefully, but with the most wonderful dreams.  Take care, be safe, God bless.
