Nearly Saturday. "The Replacements." Been playing with my file explorer alternatives. The new one I switched to had one or two minor issues that irked me. Did all kinds of search for another one similar to it, but none really to be had which didn't have other issues for me. Finally, went back to my old one, XYplorer, which I paid for. Learning a lot of new things using Gemini. Hopefully, got it set up the way I like it. Just gotta to learn to live with it. YES, I should be doing school work. A couple of hours, at least, on my file explorer alternative, haha. Chance ain't eating, so worrying about that a little. Dog is going to drive me crazy. Later. "Perfect" is a great song. People need to remember, God is perfect, therefore, all His creations are perfect. Perfect cannot create imperfection. Common sense. Understanding God makes it all seem logical. School work, I am coming, one day, haha. Later. Nothing like a "good" sleep. But the Mutt makes up for it. Been to the front door or kitchen about a million times already. The Mutt is eating, but not sure when he will stop, ugh. Did emails. Get some history questions, and links to answers, from one site. Checked Google Photos. Got some nice photos. Have a ton of photos with flowers and other nature shots. Photos of Sweet Pea blowing bubbles. We did have some great times. I wasn't quite as up tight as her grandmother and mother were, Robyn a little less than Janet, but more silly, too. Well, NO, I haven't done any major school work, yet. Hehe. I love procrastinating. Yes, had to look that one up, haha. Do have a nice evening and night. Sleep well, dream even better. Take care, be safe. Enjoy your day of rest. Should enjoy everyday with Him. God bless. No, I haven't forgotten my other projects, Enchantresses for example. Need to finish one up, always thinking on another one of those.

TGIF, 8-14-26
Sam's Club was booked up. A ton of people. Didn't get too much. Mostly, wanted some dog treats. I will put it on Penelope's Chance bill, haha. Not sure why he hates his regular dog food, haha. Had to go to school to pick up a T-shirt for Monday. Back into the rat race Monday. Walking better, but know I have to start walking, bike riding, and weights, again, soon. Or, try to come up with some good excuses for not doing so for my next doctor's appointment, haha. The foot issue, just will have to start spending some time with it raised up and, maybe, with some ice on it. Will have to find the ice bags, ugh? You know the world is about to turn over when I go to Best Buy and don't buy anything, haha. Did get a new webcam at Target. On sale. Bought a cheap one and it just ain't working out, so will play with the webcam some today, for sure. And with my school Canvas classes, as well. Try to get ready for classes and not wait until the last minute. Especially, since I am changing a lot of stuff. YES, Chance is OK. The bum. Later. Got my new webcam set up and moved some lighting around. Made a video with my webcams. Found some old Alligator Ranch stuff. Including a sample. Should be doing school stuff, but??? you all have a great night, sleep well, dream even better. Have a great weekend. Be safe, take care. God bless. The world is a much better place when you understand Him.
Thursday, night, TGIF
Life is funny, haha. Had issues with Gemini. Doing chats and sometimes a chat will freeze up or have problems. Figured it out and got my test banks done. There are different AI by company, different models in AI, different levels of AI, and so on and so on. Main thing, put the time in and figure your issue out. Starting have issues with a chat and then had to start new ones. The new ones eventually started having big problems. Figured out I had to change to a higher level: Pro. Anyway, got it all done and felt real good about things. Uploaded the test banks to Canvas and everything seemed great. I checked Canvas and some of the test banks didn't upload though Canvas showed they did. UGH. Now, have to wait things out and did submit a ticket to the school. Always something. Haha. Have to start working on redesigning the structure of my online classes. So, not like I don't have other problems to deal with. Quit laughing mom, haha. Later. "Red One" over. Figured out how to try something and it worked. Whew. Guess it could have been worse. New movie and start working on my redesign, ugh. Later. Making adjustments to my school stuff. A ways to go. Paid a bill and noticed my credit score went up 100+ points. Excellent now. Wow. Some of Janet's and my bad debts have come off my credit reports. Janet had great intentions back when but it didn't work out. When younger, went through financial debt trouble for a lot of years, so I kinda knew it was easy for it to get over one's head quickly. Life. Doing better now. Later. "The Bourne Ultimatum." Foot's swelling has me a little concern. There is no wound or anything. Will have to look into keeping it up. Just not sure why it is swelling so much. Not one thing, always something else. Haha. Later. "Rio Bravo" then bed. Foot has me concerned. Never quits. TGIF is here. Have a good one and take care. Be safe, God bless.

Thursday, 8/13/26
Early Thursday morning. Finished "The Dark Side." Longer than the other storylines. Probably will be a lot more videos. Now, to make the next step, haha. Understanding Him makes life so much more relevant. Adds meaning and purpose. Thursday, afternoon. Using AI to create my new test banks. Taking awhile since I have 3 courses to do. Not quite halfway through. AI can cog up, haha. Got my new flavors and my yellow rice. They are not suppose to be bad for diabetics, but then again, if I get hit by a train, it doesn't matter. Got six flavors and they are nice size bottles, so hope they last a good while. And I do have my strawberries. Well, back to work. AI is amazing. Like everything in life, it may not be perfect and everyone may not like it, but it is still amazing. In a way, guess you can say the same thing about God. Lot of people apparently don't like him or don't believe in Him. Can't please everyone. Later. Got two courses downloads for test banks and answer keys, now to get the test banks into Canvas. The third course is going to be more difficult, as unusual, haha. But just a matter of time. Later. Whew, 104 degrees here and it still isn't the hottest part of the day, Ugh. Still getting ahead, one course is done on Canvas. Tossed a bag of powdered sugar. Gotta do better. Haven't used it in a long time. Roku, Microsoft, on and on. They can drive you crazy, haha. Having trouble logging in with my school site. It is so screwed up. I have too many devices in my school system. Discovered them yesterday and I had a ton, all old devices. And Roku, ugh. Oh, trying a leg compression sock today. Right foot and leg seem to be swelling some. Guess the walking and sitting. Oh, boy. Later. "Weird Science." Whew, got the main stuff done. Now, the AI and, then, to Canvas. Still have to create the quizzes and exams. Later, again. "I, Robot." Well, slowing down a little now, but will try to finish my test banks for the last class soon. Whew. Do have a good evening and night. Sleep well, dream well. God Bless. Have a nice TGIF tomorrow.

Wednesday, afternoon...
Wednesday, afternoon... put a new filter in my water pitcher, Brita... I don't use it often, mostly for soup... but will have to start using it more... need to replace the water filter in the frig soon... really should have been done back months ago, haha... but not a big concern... little involved to get behind the frig, but not too bad... soon... maybe, one more movie... flavors are coming in tomorrow or Friday... some yellow rice, which ain't too bad for diabetics coming in next week... walking better on the foot, looks terrible, but it works, haha... the other one swells a little here and there, but hope it ain't anything... one day at a time... well, going to play around with test banks, converting them from Word to a format for Canvas... not too happy with the textbook publisher, but is shouldn't be too bad, I hope... Later... can't sleep... dishwasher finished and I picked up the dishes... defrosting some strawberries... and shrimp... going to boil the shrimp... going to figure out a stew-tomato dish, with navy northern beans, add the shrimp after doing the dish... add the yellow-rice when I get it... "Road House"... don't like writing when I am tired, but might try... got a plot but it ain't completed, yet... haha... YES, the Mutt is doing good... eating me out of house and home, ugh... he is a good boy... Later... Love, shrimp... came out OK... gotta watch putting the shrimp in the water, haha... nothing bad, little water splash... Do enjoy history... the shrimp were good... Shrimp has iodine, and I think I can kinda taste it, probably my imagination, know it does help the thyroid... think I had thyroid issues when I was younger, at least, mom thought so... she thought it is what made me sickly... had me take stuff for the thyroid which made my face puff up, some old photos show that... think it is when I started adding more weight to my frame... discovered now that shrimp has selenium, which I just seem to feel good about... so, boil shrimp will become more of a regular treat, plus it is not too difficult to prepare.. will see... oh, that Mutt... here I go again, haha, food or outside, coin toss... hehe... Later... cooling down a little... moved some glassware out of one of the cabinets and moved it to another area, which will hold them better... vacuumed the cabinet a little... little sweat started running down my forehead, hehe... I enjoy my DeWalt stuff, but their battery stuff sucks... the chargers and the actual batteries, of course, I don't treat them the best either??? going to check out my webcams... think I already mentioned earlier, but here again, have a good night, sleep well, dream even better, take care, be safe, God bless... "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"... Later...
Wednesday, almost noon...
Wednesday, almost noon... end of "Ocean 's Twelve"... mostly, like the end... probably one more movie then a little sleep... started on another script... will see... started on getting my classes ready... thinking about some changes, which may be a little involved... so getting started somewhat early is the right thing to do, I hope, haha... Monday, going to be a long day, I think, then Tuesday, not quite as bad... will see... well, some other things to mess with, haha... one of my webcams went on the blink, pull a cable a few times, until realized I was pulling the wrong cable, which I had to get under my desk for, ugh... the real cable is connected to my monitor right in front of me, UGH!... haha... I am not good with phonics but this French stuff has me doing a little more along those lines, haha... Later... tried out my new, free, video editor... takes a little to open, but it is simple and quick... still a little learning curve, but not a big thing... well, do have a great rest of the day... afternoon and evening... starting to get a little tired, but think I can make it through this movie... did a little research on sugars, carbs, proteins, fats, and how diabetics works with the A1C... now, thinking how A1C ties into diabetics??? A1C measures the glucose coating on hemoglobin (red blood cells)... guess the more the coating associates with the effects of diabetics... or how does it affect the function of red blood cells??? more research, haha... take care, be safe... time, what does it really mean??? sleep tight, dream wild and loose, haha... God bless...

Tuesday, early morning
Tuesday, early morning. "Finding Normal". Is there such a thing? Cute movie. Working on my next script. Do enjoy writing these simple little things. Later. Did my next script. Working on the videos. Do enjoy watching videos of the Civil War, mostly on MSN News. And videos of history in general, but it is difficult doing both, haha. Gemini can be a little picky doing the videos, but minor issues aren't a problem since they add humor to the video. Notice how nice it is to mostly watching videos instead of watching and noticing all the scenes. I still watch/listening to videos I have seen a million times and still notice scenes, or frames, I never saw before. Finishing up the videos for the last scenes, which of course, is giving me the most trouble, but might make for an Out Take. Haha. Later. Videos finished. Have to edit them a little when using them. Lot of WWII videos on MSN News. "The Philadelphia Story." Well, the Mutt is at the groomers. Doesn't take too long to get him there, but should charge Penelope for my hours, haha. I normally wait until around 11:00 to go get him. Sometimes he is ready, sometimes I have to wait a little. Don't like him being there any longer than what he has to be. Let me go check Google Photos. Received something from Gerber Life Insurance??? Don't know why? Normally, it is addressed to Robyn. God being funny??? Haha. "Ike: Countdown to D-Day". Later. Have a good day, good afternoon, and a great evening. A wonderful night. Take care, be safe. Good bless. Sleep well, dream well. Have a few photos today I don't remember.

Monday, evening, 8-10-26
Spent most of the day in bed with the mutt. Thundering and raining throughout the day. Chance is such a ninny baby. He lays at the bottom of the bed, except if it gets too loud, he gets towards the top of the bed by the pillows. The rest does help my body refresh. Had my seventh Enchantresses' material done last night except for the voicing of it and proofreading the subtitles. Maybe, tonight. They are not made for children so much, but keeping them low-keyed. I am liking them. Made a playlist on YouTube for them. Even did a QR code for the site. Even did one for my Blogger site. QR code is kinda neat. Got my laser pointer in. It has a green light. Will see how it works in the classroom. Used up most of my Dell rewards. Oh, Mutt goes in tomorrow for the groomer. Ugh. Time and money for a stinky Mutt, haha. I am adding it all to my bill for Penelope Mae, haha. One day, her savings account will be mine, hehehehehehe. Well, do have a great night. Take care, be safe. God bless. Sleep well and restful, dream as well and with some excitement and fun.
