July 2021 Diary

Looks kind of like my Uncle Bazzell

2021 Diary

 

7/8/2021: Spent most of the day laid back and doing usual things, so take it as read. Made chili for supper.

 

7/9/2021: Up at 6 AM. Prayed. Watched cartoons and got ready. At 7:40 AM went out and Andy took me to the FamMedCenter. Signed in and waited then went in for my appointment at 9 AM. Dan told me to up my insulin by 5 units. Got a pneumonia shot. Walked over to HEB and caught the bus, and Mr. Wade brought me right home again [rather than the usual stop at City Park]. Just as I walked in Kelsey called and she came over to visit. It only really started raining when we went to Chicken Express. We ate and talked and watched Spongebob then Shrek 2 and then Kam came home. I fried taters then made fish. Susan came home and I went in again. Talked to John and he told me Amy might be having gallbladder trouble herself; they’re going to run some tests. Went in at 8 PM and washed up. Plugged the AC in and turned it on (it had been cool enough with the rain to have the windows open). Now it’s just a slide to bedtime.

 

7/10/2021: I thought that John and I had been planning to go to Half-Price and perhaps a Chinese buffet [my mistake], but the day dragged on and on and no word. Called him about 3 PM and he was taking Morgandy to a session. We talked about half an hour, with me encouraging him to write again. Afterwards I was inspired to finally work on “Aftermath” once more [a story about Korm’s passing], finished it, and sent it to him and Kenny.

 

7/11/2021: Up before 6 AM, prayed, dressed, and left for church slightly before 7 AM. Afterwards I walked to FD and got pigskins, diet sugar wafers, a facemask, and hot dogs and lunch meat. Listened to Peter Ustinov’s “Dear Me” on YT and wondered if John would call today or send a message about the story. But here it is past 9 PM and not a sausage. Speaking of which, ordered from HEB. As a side note, I love correcting people on FB about misattributing Tolkien quotes and facts where the movies diverge from the books. Rick and Morty at 10 PM.

 

7/12/2021: So, up at 5:30 AM. Prayers and Bible, starting the Gospel of John. Cartoons. Went to start the wash and the washer was engaged but Andy came at 8:15 AM and told me it was free. Did 2 loads today. Got groceries about 9:15 AM; the delivery man dropped the eggs and had to get a replacement. Finished the wash about 12:30 PM. GGACP with Gabe Kaplan. Ordered books from Amazon. Went in to make cucumber salad about 2 PM, then supper at 4 PM. John sent me an approval of “Aftermath”. Went in at 8 PM and washed up. Listened to Dan Harmon interviews and played DQ8. The AC’s adapter seems to be melting again, so I’m not plugging it in. Not too hot … so far.

 

7/13/2021: Take the day as read, except I got up about 1 AM and reviewed “Bob’s Book 2” to myself until about 2:30 AM. I think I might flesh out Chapter 2 from script format to complete writing as my next project. Called Parker’s about my shoes and they said they were a little behind.

 

7/14/2021: Kelsey’s 26^th birthday. Up at 5:30 AM, prayers and read Bible. Cartoons. Went in at 9 AM and made cake. While it was baking, I went out to the front porch to await mailman. He arrived just before it was time to go in and take the cake out, about 9:40 AM. I let it cool, and meanwhile went in with my first book, “The Hobbit Sketchbook”. Wrote a quick review on NOT, then went in and iced the cake. Decided to give Kelsey my paperback copy of AGODP for her birthday. A thunderstorm during the afternoon with quite a bit of rain. Went in at 4 PM; did not have to cook but fed pets. Not sure when Kelsey got here but they called me in about 7 PM and we had burgers from Burger King, sang, then had cake. Afterwards Kelsey, Kameron, and I came out and watched “The Circus of Dr. Lao” and then some Groovie Goolies; very nostalgic. She left a little after midnight and now I’m catching up the diary.

 

7/15/2021: Woke up at 6 AM. Prayers. Cartoons. At 9:30 AM went out to check deliveries on front porch and found to my surprise that “The Wizard of Oz” with illustrations by Maraja had arrived early. Wrote up on it in NOT. The day went on as usual. Called John at 4 PM (while making supper – chili as usual) and we plan to visit tomorrow. At 8 PM washed up and finally told S&A that I need a new adaptor. Played DQ8. Bible, then bed around midnight.
