What is this world coming to!!! Got the dishes washing and I started folding clothes. In folding clothes, I have to turn on my bedroom light. I am folding the clothes and The Mutt gives me the eyeball. Then, goes to sleep. Oh! I have to find something for him to earn his keep. The big scaredy kat. I take a small break because of my back. Folding clothes again after the break, same thing. Oh, if I don't beat him. Sleep-eat-poop-pee, vet and groomer visits. Oh, my. Guess he does bark at the Amazon people. Haha. Asked (by email) my doctor about magnesium glycinate (read it helps with several things, including diabetes) and he said some people use it for helping with sleep. Told him the vitamins I take and he said I should just take a multi-vitamin. So, going to try that. Ordered some from Amazon. Like zinc and vitamin C to help ward off colds and the flu so hopefully these vitamins have enough of them. Still think I have something in my system that can hit me and weaken me now and then, but the flu shot each year helps keep it down. Apparently, Alka-Seltzer Cold and Flu does help, too. Take it about once every other day or two. It has been helping. One day at a time. "Road House." School tomorrow shouldn't be too bad. A book rep coming Tuesday after my classes. Shouldn't be much. Probably won't be changing books for awhile. Do like The Moody Blues. Have to make a few playlists on YouTube. Tomorrow. Dog out, stretches, protein drink and coffee, yogurt. Made appointment with A/C people. Feeling good so far. Foot seems to be doing good for now. Will walk Chance and see. Do have a great day. Take care, be safe. God bless.

Working on setting up and organizing my iPad while I listen to my yearly ethic training for all state employee. Same video as last year. Missed a question so have to redo a section. My mind was saying No and I pressed Yes. Ugh. Here is a photo from my iPad. Not bad. Still need to change some things. Some per app, some per system. Watching/listening to “Wargames”. Was smashed potatoes and chili tonight. Have a nice night. Sweet dreams. Font is small on my iPad screen here. But nice resolution. God bless!
Feb 11, 2025
Had to listen and watch some 'training' videos sent out for state employees each year. Not sure if training is the right word. Just sat and listened and took the little quizzes here and there. Also, this evening, had to deal with my monitor a little. I got a bigger monitor and got one for playing games and, which I assume, has a better screen than those not made for games. The thing is, the monitor takes more maintenance with the technology it uses. Every four hours of use or so, needs to refresh or do something with its pixels, takes about 4 minutes. After so many hours, it has to do some even more maintenance, but for one hour, that is what it hit me with this evening. Walked Chance, picked up dishes from dish washer. Worked on tablet. Updated my iPhone and iPad to 18.3.1. Reading news and articles and playing with my tablet. "Miracle" with Kurt Russell. Enjoy the movie. Will watch. Still have "The Last Starfighter" to watch. Back to reading, read article about a new AI company from France. It had apps for the iPad and Android. May have to work on my tablets and set them up for AI. Not only for school. Later. Chance out. Came in. I asked him if he needed a snack every night. Guess what his answer was. Love when he licks his choppers, haha, as he sits. He sits or I have him stand up from his sitting for his snack. Good mutt. Haha. Just such a Woosie. Been organizing my files on OneDrive for school. Microsoft can be a pain. Don't think I screwed anything up, but won't find out until tomorrow at school. Fighting the feeling of wanting to stay up all night. Maybe get to sleep in a few minutes. TV off, but will read email and news. Do have a nice Tuesday. Take care, be safe. Was a nice day yesterday and do enjoy my lawn mower and wagon. God bless.

Geaux, Saints! Don't need the return of the bags.
Feb 11, 2025
Testing out a new browser: Opera One R2. A Chrome replacement maybe. Smashed potatoes, chili, and shredded steak, a few jalapenos and juice. Wasn't bad. Ate too much, haha. "An Affair to Remember," finished watching. A great movie. Cary Grant and Debra Kerr were a great match in the movie. Sad, then happy ending. No tears, though. A little grown in my nose, I think. No, I am not a wooden boy. Now tired, stomach full. Another tear jerker, "Fall Into Winter", at the end, but happy ending. Vitamins here. The only thing the Mutt is good for, guard dog. Just don't let anyone make it past the door, haha. The big ninnie. Do have a great night. Time to walk the Mutt. Nice meeting with the book rep. Have a nice evening and exciting dreams. God bless! Wore shirt from buying my generator. Nice shirt. Wish my arm was a little longer for the photo, haha.
Feb 12, 2025
Enjoying the new browser (Opera One R2). Might make it my main browser, in place of Firefox. The new one is Chrome based, so won't need Chrome, but will keep it for awhile. Might get rid of Microsoft Edge. Google's and MS's news are so liberal and so anti-American. With see. My Amazon package didn't come in. The Mutt got it wrong. Comes tomorrow, Wednesday. Did enjoy "The Last Starfighter". The effects are just so neat, you can tell they are computer generated, but that adds to the movie. Real life effects of today, in a way, takes away from a movie. Just me. Did enjoy Robert Preston in the movie. Just his personality. Knees are getting close to popping out of place a little, so will have to watch them. Watch where and how I step. The stretches do wear on them, even without doing the bike and rowing machine. Knees have been doing so great, don't want to hurt one, ugh. Been noticing how many people, young and old, that have foot issues, shuffling like I do. Some slower than me. And I mean many. "Bam, pow, zoom, to the moon Alice." That Mutt Chance. Ugh. To the pound, tomorrow. If he wasn't Penelope's dog. Thought he needed to go outside the way he jumped off the bed. Goes down the steps with me almost pushing him out. No, he just wanted a snack. UGH! New title popping into mind. Oh, God!!! Literally. "Big Trouble in Little China." Kurt Russell is a character. Tomorrow. It is tomorrow, but haven't gone to bed, yet. Will go in a minute. Finished watching a WWII video about a battle near or in Australia by the Australians against the Japanese. Didn't know it was 45 minutes long, haha. Great film showing how war really it. Never heard of the battle before. Seeing more and more film coming out about WWII and other historic military events. Do have a great Wednesday. Take care, be safe. Am enjoying the new browser, though not perfect it does have some neat little features. Still more to learn. God Bless. New browser doesn't work well for posting on Facebook, so will have to see if I can make it work. Tomorrow, haha. I fixed it. Wasn't much. Go night for me. Good morning for you, hehe.
Feb 12, 2025
Dark, windy, and raining most of the day. Slept through most of it, but it is still going on into the evening. Eating port egg rolls. Received my package, had to go outside to the carport for it. Had to sit at the dining table until Chance ate his food. The big ninnie. Sometimes I have to do that. I don't have to watch him, which I don't, but he is up my butt, so I have to be near. Oh, My!!! Was going to photograph a frog but he was gone when I got back, ugh. The rolls aren't bad. School, email, news, and my project, which words and sayings come into my mind as I rest and sleep in bed or the front sofa. Do have a good night. The best kind of dreams you enjoy. Take care, be safe. Hope the weather is treating you OK. God bless. Am enjoying my new browser and trying to adapt to it. Sure Penelope ain't doing karate, but sure she is doing something. Janet was one to keep Robyn into activities and Robyn is a lot like her mother, but a lot different, too.

Beginning to put together my next project. Have the writing done, "Become A One". Going to try to learn my new photo editor, ON1 Raw 2025, so it is going to take time. Try to use it with Photoshop Elements 2024 through plug-ins or such. Love Photoshop Elements but it went to a subscription fee vs. a one-time price and in small ways trying to get me to upgrade. Not to a subscription fee (monthly or yearly, no). Don't do enough to justify that. Watching some of my old movies, just a few years old, not classics. Whew! Don't like this new photo editor. Going to try another I have. Why I like Photoshop Elements. It was easier. Adobe, trying to be like everyone else. Greedy with their subscription fees. Name of the game. Trying another. All have their plusses and minuses. All more involved than what I normally use. Ugh. Biggest issue is how they save files. New ones use Export and save their files in their own format. Anyway, screwy. Go back to the old ways as before. But, tomorrow. Getting late, getting tired. Waffles with a little spray butter and whipped cream, ain't too bad for a small snack. Love whipped cream. Tomorrow. Chance was having a hissy wanting to go outside. So, finally, I got up and took him. Door open, he was off in a flash. Buzzard flew from the yard near the carport over the back end of the house. Some others were flying in the air. Windy and cool today. They seem to love the wind. Love the zoom on my phone. Maybe upgrade to the iPhone 17, but in September when it comes out. Have a great evening and night. Take care, be safe. God bless.
Feb 13, 2025
Yuck! Chance started to bark a little. Went to the door and checked. Mother nature and life. There are all kinds of vultures and buzzards in life. Just try not to be the armadillo. Just something else to deal with.
Feb 13, 2025
Well, took care of the armadillo before it got too dark. Didn't want Chance to mess around with it. Do enjoy Google Photos and they way they put up past photos and videos at the top of its screen. Penelope shows what life is all about. Enjoying it. Take care. Be safe. God bless.
Feb 14, 2025
Finished my project. I like it. Copyright music can be an issue. Sometimes even if it is public domain, the app or website won't accept it. Ugh. Can be a pain. Then, one site's video has to be 1 min or less and has a file size limit. Don't tell you until you try publishing it. Ugh. Still can't find a photo editor to replace what I use. Keep using it until I can't use it anymore. Whew. Will sit here watching movies until bedtime. Hope to get to bed earlier than normal. Who knows. Until tomorrow. Forgot tomorrow, today, is Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine. A 'Spiritual' Happy Valentine to Penelope. She is a sweetheart. Hope to go to bed after the movie. Forget I have two webinars tomorrow. Oh, boy. Hope to learn something, but mainly, for my evaluation this year. Have to start working on it. Good morning. Take care, be safe. God Bless! "Become A One".

She received a "Go to Jail" card for her birthday. Love the photo with the dog. Nice read.
Feb 14, 2025
Got one webinar under my belt. Waiting for the other one. Took Dog out earlier. No buzzards. Yes, I know. His name is Chance, ugh. Haha. Continuing to setup my new browser. Enjoying it, but still some things that needs to be adjusted. This weather. Picked up my heaters, but will have to take them back out after tomorrow. Need to take out a hoodie or two from the closet. Starting to get a little cold again. Another ugh! That's life. Finished the second webinar. Need to run to Walmart, but tomorrow. The magnesium glycinate seems to be helping me, but only been taking two nights. Not so much in sleep, but just feeling better. But only two days, stomach is feeling a little different today. Will see. Feel cold. Maybe school work, now. Maybe, not. Later. Moving back to Firefox. Trying another browser (Vivaldi) similar to the other one, but more settings and stuff, more power. Ugh. Haha. Later. Time for the Mutt to go out; check mail. "La Dolce Villa."??? Junk mail. Found a wooden cross in the old shed. I like. Need to put it on the wall, but need the thing on the back. Oh, boy. Try to set up the new browser and play around with it. When I walk back to the house, I yell to the Mutt that if I beat him to the porch he stays outside. When I get near the car, zoom a flash right by, Him. Haha. Enjoying the new browser so far. The magnesium stuff seems to be helping my foot??? at least, for today. Haven't been using cane as much. Enjoying the movie some. Do have a great night. Hmmm, what adjective can I come up with for wishing you all sweet dreams??? Take care, be safe. God bless. So many other things, features to learn.

Sitting here watching movies and playing around with my new browser. Got it pretty well set up. Even added a custom background. An early birthday gift for Janet (and me), in case I forget on Tuesday (2/18). I forgot Stacey's birthday on the 13th, I remembered it at the beginning of the week, but forgot on Thursday. Love my new background. May have to make a few. Walmart, maybe, tomorrow. Some insulin pen needles to pick up. Free for diabetes, something for what I pay for insurance. Waiting for Monday and Tuesday, which I have a division meeting, hopefully, on Zoom, but I will be at school for class anyway, so just would have to wait a while longer. Then two weeks off: first week, personal leave (one day for eye doctor's appointment), then week after, Mardi Gras holiday. Foot is doing so great today. If it stays this way, will have to get outside and do a little work. Want to do everything, but need to just concentrate on side of the house and keep it basic. After I get the side of the house fixed up, have to deal with ants and other things around the outside of the house, around the foundation. Rest of the property will deal with when I can. Having the house, Chance's and my shelter, taken care of is the main thing. Do love my new browser background. Washed my hair last night, or should I say, this morning, woke up around 4:00 and took a shower. Just couldn't sleep. Anyway, my hair is fluffy today, haha. Need to put oil on it. Hehe. Just read an article on the Dark Web. Staying away from that. I am financially doing well, but don't really have anything that I really want or need. Ugh!!! Got a lot of older, but not too old, stuff that I don't use. Anyway. Could get newer stuff, but really don't use anything much but my desktop and phone. Hands are itchy. Haha. Tomorrow. Good day, or evening, I should say. Waiting for tea to brew. Dog out; finished stretches. Feels good resting my body during the day (letting it heal it feels like), especially when my foot isn't hurting. That supplement seems to be working great. Pickle and tea for breakfast. What goes together better. Haha. Having Janet staring at me when I open my browser. Don't know, haha. Penelope. Not sure why God brought her into my life other to break the ice in my heart. Bridget and Chris did that, but not like Penelope. We were so close. BUT. There are so many buts in life. And Life goes on. Do have a great evening and night. Sleep with dreams of treasures and riches, true family. Take care, be safe. God bless. Chance needs to go out, 'but' in a few minutes. Need to get something in the stomach and to get dressed.

Enjoyed this video on the Battle of Midway. Only 5 minutes was needed to change the course of the war against Japan. Life.

Think my nephew, Nick, is going into the bakery business. Waiting for his menu to come out. Coconut Creme cake sounds nice. Couldn't find anything to put my new cross against the wall, but found a hook where I could hang it. Thought on the air vent by Pegasus but thought the curtain rod was better. Have a ton of little blue straps, but thought I would need a black one and was ready to tear the house and shed up to find one, but I am finally growing up, haha, decided the blue was OK, maybe, even better. Oh, my lips are watery for that Coconut Creme cake. "Dune" for now. Raining. Suppose to start getting colder. Worked on Janet's birthday card for Tuesday, in case, I would forget. I wouldn't but. Now she is staring at me on my browser. Haha. Oh, Chance. Lazier than me. Hehe. Sunday. Not sure what I am going to do today. Do have a great Sunday. Take care. Be safe. God bless. Just waiting for that Coconut Creme cake. Maybe with a cherry on top. Do enjoy my little wooden cross. Looks nice in the morning. Kinda takes up that empty space. Bye.
Feb 16, 2025
Life is interesting. I do enjoy it. Except for that Mutt! Yes, I mean Chance. Haha. He is a character. I don't use all the keyboard keys, but I am learning more. Never use the audio/volume/music keys but will start for lowering the volume. Something new. F11 for going full screen and back. Ctrl key to locate cursor, if it is set up to be used. The new supplement is helping the foot, but not going to brag about it, yet, until another week or two. Doesn't take away the pain completely, but it makes it less and more bearable. It seems to be helping me in other ways, but will wait for awhile to judge that. I always say, "One has to find what works for them." We are all a little different, many are a lot different, haha. Probably the sauna, then shower, wash dishes???, then??? Do need to get my sleeping straightened out, but not a big thing. Do have school tomorrow and Tuesday, then two weeks off. "Bringing Up Baby." Do enjoy listening/watching it. So in tune to God's 'world'. So at peace. Sure there is a lot more to learn. "Wasn't going to hit George." The movie makes me laugh. Still fine tuning my new browser. Am enjoying it. God does work in mysterious ways, for sure. He has taken care of me. Need to find a project to keep my interest and that works for me. Haven't yet. Love writing and my digital stuff, but coming up with the right substance is the difficult thing. Went on Instagram the other day, so many things just didn't have any substance, no meaning, not even entertaining. Some disgusting. The social media for my browser, based in Iceland, I got on and there was so much hatred. Sure most of these people are decent people, which proves my point, evil exists within us all. Just individually, we have to vanish it to the bottom of our soul and not let it raise its head. Anyway. it doesn't matter what we believe except to ourselves. God knows the truth and we have to seek it. Won't say more. Waste of time. Just don't see hope for mankind unless He sends someone again. Do have a good night. Godly dreams. Take care. Be safe. God bless. Let me see if I have a video from Google Photos. Haha. That dog. Getting colder outside. Cold for the next few days or more.

Amazing. The guy seems to be proving his point. Incas didn't build all this. I love the view of the mountains and looking down. How amazing. And the number of people. Whew. All the walking, haha. To see the wonders of other countries.

Nice photos. Why isn't anyone talking about renaming this site? Calling it an Aztec name when it is no where near where Aztecs lived. The name just doesn't match what is there, how it looks.

What a night, haha. Set up sauna, water in steamer (put on lid back on?), emptying drain bowl in sauna, put some essential oils in it. Go turn on steamer, pick everything up and get ready for sauna, it takes a few minutes to get hot enough for steam. Get in. Sitting there for minutes, not getting hot. Think I might have put too much water??? Get out. Didn't put the lid back on completely right, had only a little light, messed up, one nob was off letting steam out. Fixed it. Get back in. Did fine after that. Get out. Chance is barking a little about something outside. No big deal. He gets back into bed. In middle of shower, he starts barking more and, then, he is in the bathroom protecting the tub, haha. Get out. Checked front door. Someone popping fireworks. Ugh! Back to shower. Chance is protecting the tub for a few more minutes, then he is gone. Oh, boy. Put Vaseline (Walmart brand) on my feet tonight. Mom used it and Marilyn Monroe swore by it. Anyway, finished the container (snap on top). Got new container. Had flip top. Boy, loved that. Thought I just brought them from different stores. Got the new container. It was the original Vaseline. Haha. Will see if it is better than the Walmart. It has "healing jelly" on the label. Walmart did not. It does feel different. Will see. Feeling nice and clean. Haha. Will try to get to bed earlier tonight, maybe. Later. Little school work. My camera catches the littlest whiskers on my face, haha. Have to check them out in the mirror, haha. Happy. Discovered how to put a website link onto the taskbar in Windows for my browser. Took awhile to find help here. Don't know why Google Calendar doesn't have a separate app or program for Windows. Guess I can sleep nice tonight. Haha. Tomorrow. Didn't get to bed as early as I hope, but not rushed this morning. Ready to go see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz. There are many of those, but only one Master, Chance. Haha. He is waiting to go walk, but emails first. Do have a wonderful day and take care. Be safe. God bless.

Know it is a day early, but "Happy Birthday, Janet!!!"... despite her strong persona on the outside, she was the most loving and caring person I ever met... she was my best friend ever... she was an extremely strong person when she had to be, but preferred not to be... She wanted to enjoy life and have fun, especially with family... the love she had for her daughter and Penelope was immeasurable... her life had no bed of roses, but she made the most of what was given her... she is looking down upon Penelope with such pride... she is there with her... we all have regrets and wished we would have done things differently, but I was never was one of those people... it never has come to mind to have changed one thing with Janet... perfect, no, but the closest person to 'Him' I have ever met... she was true to His and her spirit... last hours of yesterday and early hours of this morning I did the accompanying video... no new videos or photos and, definitely, not all of them I have of her, but hopefully, the video captures her essence... again, a day early, "Happy Birthday, Janet!!!"...

Stopped at Sam's. Bringing in groceries, that mutt was under my feet some. Part my fault and his fault, my head hit the corner of the hand rail. Just a bump, I think, under my eye. Haven't looked at it. It has been awhile but ain't hurting. That is my only fear is falling and hurting myself. Getting laid up. But will keep taking things slow. Did yell a little at Chance, but noticed the change in me. There was no real anger, not even for a sec. Stocked up with whipped cream, some zero sugar fruit punch which tastes like tropical fruit punch. Haha. Not like regular fruit punch. "The Royal Treatment." Nice little movie. Supplement is really helping me, but again, hasn't been long. Let me see if can find a photo or something for tonight. You all have a great night. Dream of the stars and beyond. Some of those aliens can be wild. Haha. Take care. Be safe. God bless. One thing I envied Janet was that she could fall asleep at a drop of a dime, sometimes. Especially, at movies or plays or things. Haha.

My classes went well. Two weeks off from going to campus. My department meeting went well as you can tell from the photos below. I have learned to control my stress. Seriously, it went well. No complains. Drove from school and got home in plenty of time to get ready for the Zoom meeting. I do enjoy doing it by Zoom, though if I don't have to drive to school just for the meeting, I don't mind them. The supplement I am taking is suppose to help with metabolism. It seems to be helping. Started walking the Mutt and realized I didn't have my walking stick. Did the whole walk without it. Don't need it for walking so much, as to balance myself and stop myself from falling. My troubling foot is the one without the big toe. The big toe helps with balancing. I, also, cleaned off the dining table. A/C man coming tomorrow. Thing, I had the energy to do it. The strength. Some went to the back rooms, some to the porch. Have to start putting more stuff on the porch to get rid of. Love the little light statue I put on the table. It was momma's. It has a short in it. Debating to get it fixed or simply cut the wire and use it as a statue. For now, part of the table's center piece. Well, my face is starting to straighten up and out a little. Not sure what look I like. Well, do have a nice night. Take care and be safe. As for dreams, may they be colorful, joyful, and pleasurable. God bless. Seriously (used that word twice, UGH), my tablets do have better editing photo programs. Not as complicated as desktop stuff.
Feb 19, 2025
Got the house ready for the A/C guy. Never showed up. I called. Apparently, the person in the office last week was not the regular clerk. Anyway, another day. It is so nice being at peace with God. Understanding Him as much as one person can. "Captain Horatio Hornblower." Just for a little about God, We means as much to Him as He means to Us. The way a Family should be. Sadly, so many people don't know the meaning of Family. We are all of one blood, God's. It is evil that keeps so many people from God. From being Family. Enough said. Rained most of the night. Messy outside. And cold. Crazy weather. Thought spring was here, it ain't. Dog needed walk. He did poop, so it wasn't for nothing. Cold. 30 tonight and mid-20's for next two days then to 37. Anyway, cold for a few more days. The app I use for the funny photos is only for my iPad and for selfies. So, had to teach Chance how to snap his photos. Goof-ball. Don't remember these two videos of Penelope. Google Photos. Do have dishes to deal with but??? My foot has been doing great except for tingling, piercing, pain on the side, where the bone? pokes outward. It isn't always, but still drives me 'more' nuts. Haha. Dog is already wanting his snack. Not until dark. He does get pushy. Ankle is bothersome sometimes, but not too bad. Do enjoy Lady Barbara and Captain Hornblower. Haha. Sadly, old romance doesn't exist too much anymore. Long forgotten by the younger generations. Maybe it was only in the movies. Inspiration for any more projects or writings has been weaning some, but may sit down and try to get a feeling for something. You all do have a great night and some exciting dreams. Nothing too exciting. Take care, be safe. God bless.

"Caring adds to the value of love," - sle. Nice day outside except COLD! Will be colder tonight, haha. Just did a recommendation letter for a student. Screwed up some, but fix wasn't too bad, haha. Came up with a new writing/project thing, but who knows how far it will go. Still developing the path of the story??? Will be an election in March on some state constitutional stuff. There seem to be some nice changes. Did a little research. The first proposal might be a little questionable, so will have to check into it a little more. The vote isn't until the end of March. Politics and taxes. Oh, so much fun. Haha. Well, at least, the Mutt is quiet now. And it is time to get something to eat. The foot ain't bad, just some stinging on the side like yesterday. The pain ain't much, except I am being a big baby. When my wound or whatever gets more tender and less painful, I cry more. Hehe. Do have a good night, stay warm and healthy. Dream of marshmallows and campfires. No mosquitoes, I hope. Take care, be safe. God bless. There seems to be lawsuits happening because of the constitutional amendments. So, who knows. Passwords, ugh. Here is the document on the amendments on the state site.

Took my Samsung tablet out. It is a great little tablet and one I always wanted, but actually, might be more than I need. And, it doesn't quite fit in with my iPhone. Is a little heavy for holding it too long. I enjoy the keyboard but would, also, like using without the keyboard, too. Ain't easy to. Anyway, will work it out. Thinking about an iPad Air, but again, might be overkill. Still have my regular iPad, which is nice. "Walking Tall", with the Rock. Computers and tablets. So many little settings. Spent an hour or so looking out to do something on my tablet and it was one little setting not normally used by me. Ugh. Did a little more writing and now how to present it. Think I might try Facebook reels. Haven't tried it yet. Tomorrow. Today. "A determined heart frightens problems away." Well, reminds me of many quotes of the bible. It doesn't really mean problems will not occur, but that, a determined heart will deal with them as if they are not real problems. Not sure I have a determined heart or if I am just stubborn. I will stand my ground when I decide I need to. Can only be pushed so far, a little further by those I love, but again, have my limits. I love giving for it makes me feel good, but again, there are limits, especially when someone doesn't really appreciate it. Anyway, a great day. Little cold during the day, but colder at night for sure. Chance. A good dog. How I have to force snacks on him. And he is such a watch dog. Going to do this or that. Have a few things backing up to do, but no rush. Take care, be safe. May God Save you with some blessings on the side. A nice topical beach dream would be nice. Had an anxiety attack in a woke dream this morning. Whew. It was wicked. Won't bore you with the details, but my heart was beating running all over the place. Bye people. God Save and Bless, Penelope!!!

Read a couple of articles on this. Interesting story. Seeking adventure. Thrilling, but can be dangerous.

Kathie Lee is a character. One of a kind. Great article and great video. Must read and see. Interesting. She has a nice book coming out about Herod / Mary, I believe.

What a great video, even if I have to say so myself. Memories do keep us young and alive. Remember the good times. They fly by fast.

Some how, I lost my writing for today. Google, oh, boy. Or was it me??? Haha. Last night was nice. Learned some things. Today, nice walk with Chance, fed him. "One should never stop growing with God," - sle. Dishes still to do. Some school work and a few little other things. There are techniques to help with pain. Of course, pain pills, which I try to minimize. I have a technique to help with more severe pain, but it is the lessen pain that troubles me more. Learned something last night that I hope will help with the lesser pain. Growing with God. Didn't use pain pills with the severe pain I had with my feet, but do with the lesser pain, go figure. Will see if this new lesson I was given will help with it. Do have a nice evening and night. Sleep well. Take care, be safe. God bless. Penelope is a sweetheart. I thank God for my life.

Haven't heard of this guy before. Seems so sincere. God bless. Only evil doesn't wilt away. It never dies. We, individually, have to fight evil within ourselves with God. It is an endless fight which is easier if we stand with God.

I don't use oil too much, but when I do, I try to use olive oil. The processed foods and late night eating is my issues. Inflammation. That is one of the big enemies of the body. Might look into using avocado oil, too.

Great story. Beautiful dog. Modern technology can be wonderful.

Thought about a new iPad Air 11". No trouble affording. But, eventually, after some shopping, decided to be practical, UGH!!! Spent awhile shopping for a new case and found one that I think will fit my needs. About $30 vs. over $600 or $700. Not gambling anymore, so eliminating my losses, and fun, would cover the higher amounts, haha. Only enjoyment, besides being at the house (with the Mutt), is eating out now and then, mostly Chinese for my fortune cookies, haha, gotta enjoy life a little. And enjoyment from my photos (including those of Penelope), and my projects/writings. Anyway, hope the cover does well, nice reviews. Guess time to eat and watch movies, read emails and news and other articles, maybe some other things. Wished I could help out Penelope, but life. Sure she ain't suffering any, but some uncertainty is still there. People. Won't say more. Do have a good day, will send tomorrow morning. Waiting for Monday and my eye appointment. Eyes seem to be doing great, except needing reading glasses now and then. "It is not if God is with 'you'; it is if 'you' are with God," - sle. Until tomorrow. Well, it ain't morning, haha. Walked Chance and fed him. Not quite as cold as yesterday, in the low 60's. But overcasted. Still nice walk. Last night I looked at the photos and things on the wall and I felt as if I was learning, more about God, more about His spirit world. Hope to use that feeling to help with the pain in my foot. There are different techniques to help with dealing with pain. Of course, one is pain pills, which I try to minimize. Didn't use them before when the pain was more severe. I had a technique for that. When the pain is less, I have more of an issue. The technique doesn't work as well. Anyway, hope this new learning, this growing of myself, will help with the lesser pain. Dishes, still, other little things that need to be done. You all have a great evening. Enjoy yourselves. Take care, be safe. "One should never stop growing with God," - sle. God bless.

Loss And Found: found my earlier message which I thought I lost. So, might have some repeats here or tomorrow. Haha. Some old photos. One with crayfish is just a shell. Was interesting. Just Having Some Fun.

Trying to upgrade MS Office 2019 to 2024. They don't make it easy, but will try. Don't really need to, but maybe it will help some. Will see. Watch trying to buy software off the internet cheaper. Might not be worth it. Live and learn, sometimes, don't learn, haha. Just have to wait it out. Thought about the iPad Air 11", but decided to keep my Samsung tablet and just get another cover/case. Found one that will suit my needs, I hope. Being practical. UGH! About $30 vs. $700 or more. Can easily afford it, but that isn't the point. I don't really have a good reason for getting a new one. The weight difference is the only thing and I hope the new case will help with that. Dishes washing. Also, still have my regular iPad which is lighter and not too old. Being practical. What a bumper!!! Pain is in the ankle tonight. My learning lesson from God is helping deal with it. Guess I have to suck it up and do some school work. Later. When you have been away from a worksheet, it can take awhile to remember how it is structured. Hehe. Still working on attendance. More on-campus students drop then online. Changing times. At SLU, in the days, only had 3 classes you could miss before being dropped. Today, can't really drop them easily because of attendance. For online classes, not at all as far as I know. More attendance to deal with. Updating my daily attendance worksheet for on-campus classes. Finished that. Do enjoy Excel. Do enjoy these days with fast, reliable internet, and faster, reliable computers/laptops/tablets. Time for supper. Whew. Been working on my evaluation for this year. Little early, but trying to get ready early. Then, working with my Windows File Explorer replacements. Got things working the best I can do, by the time I turned around it was pass 1:00 o'clock. "Terminator 2". Hopefully, then bed. Tomorrow, nothing planned. Sauna and shower before bed, decided to take a quick trip to New Orleans. You all have a great Sunday morning and take care. Be safe. God bless. Still waiting for Monday and eye exam. Time for bed.

Haven't slept, yet, and it is little after 8:00. Time to let the dog out and feed him. Waited for the movie to get over with. Checkout an article about sleep and it came up with the fact my mattress has reached the end of it life, so going to try out a mattress in a box, haha. Has good reviews and not too pricey. Don't have to worry about anyone complaining. The mutt, Chance, knows better, haha. Or, he won't get fed. Well, off to let him out, then feel him. Take my morning pills and protein drink. To bed, maybe. Tomorrow is going to be something else. My sleep chronotype is a dolphin. Where do they come up with this stuff. Haha. Slept pretty well. Been raining all day. It is a mess outside. No walks today. Chance is in and out pretty quickly, haha. You all have a good one. Hope it didn't rain on your parade. Take care, be safe. God bless. Pain is in the heel and ankle, mostly, the heel, today. Ugh. Thing. I have been able to tolerate it more than before. Thank, God. Guess a dolphin should be glad for all the rain, haha.

Didn't sleep too, too long. Rained for several hours. Been spending hours trying to get MS Office 2024 downloaded and working. Don't buy cheaper software that requires a lot of technical stuff to get working. Ain't worth the price. If what I am doing doesn't work soon, just might suck up the lost of the cheaper software download and just buy the more official software. Brings back days gone by where I would spend hours and days trying to solve issues. UGH. Well, let me see if it is finished installing. Oh, it is a mess outside. Hope the mutt has done his business. Later. Got it finally to work. MS is trying to get everyone to subscribe (monthly payments) to their Microsoft 365 online apps. I prefer my Office stuff to be on my computer, not tied into 365. Finally!!! Guess I should check on the mutt and get something to eat. Later. "Dune II". Ain't bad. Little woke and modern effects, does have a nice story line. "The Highwaymen." Nice movie. Starting another project??? Thought hit me the other day when seeing something on the TV. Think it might have been a movie. We will see. Movie almost over. "What makes the worth of a man is how God 'weighs' him," - sle. Do have a great day tomorrow. Enjoy your day and any parades. Catch a ton of beads. Take care, be safe. God bless. The project will involve my website(s)???

Eye doctor didn't go bad. Eyes are staying the same for the diabetes from last year, which was the same from the year before that. My vision is a tad lower and I am on the border line of needing glasses for driving. Will get a pair and try them for driving and see how much they help. Will check into them. Want one for glare and dark for daytime, while letting me drive at night. Research. Wet and muddy outside. A mess. What does it mean when your fortune cookie doesn't have a fortune inside. Haha. Felt I was going to get one that didn't have it and I got it. He is laughing. Foot not bad but the pain has been jumping around: side of foot, especially when driving; ankle; heel, which makes walking a little more difficult. But have learned to tolerate it better. It is amazing how in tune I am will my surroundings, now. Guess, more in tune with God. Diluting my eyes, last time and this time, really hasn't done much to them. Little fuzzy, but didn't need any dark shades. Weren't even bothered. Well, later. Received my Amazon package: tablet case and cappuccino pods. Decided you only live once so going to enjoy my cappuccino. My latest coffee ain't bad, but enjoy cappuccino a little more. The case is being a little bit of a pain. It is a tight fit so working on it. Seldom is it easy. You all have a good night sleep and sweet dreams. God bless. Take care and be safe. Feels like Russian Roulette with the foot, but doing better with tolerating it. Ankle, heel, side of foot, oh, my.
