nematome Robert came over after class, and I got home a little early. He cleaned the upstairs hall bathroom while I got my Tour de Friends pictures in order. When he was finished, he placed the pictures in the photo album while I put my scrapbook together. He helped me with the binding as the book … Read more
Robert came over after class, and I got a bug to clean up the backyard. We sorted through two trashcans that had been full of “crap” for probably several years. They had filled up with water and mud, and things inside them had disintegrated. It was putrid. We salvaged several bottles to recycle, and made … Read more
I had my physical this morning at 7:45. I bitched about my weigh to Dr. Jacokes, and we discussed the Atkins diet, and the two “modified Atkins” diets, the South Beach and the Hilton Head. He’s not against the Atkins, but strongly advises against “eating all the fat you can eat.” I did “the cough.” … Read more
I got to the Holiday Inn at about 5:15. Robert was walking in, and then as I parked, Steve F. was next to me. We set up the TCW table, and milled about from 5:30 until 7. I chatted with Steve F., Robert, Chris, Wayne, Jon B., Jim S., Chris M., and some of the … Read more
Tonight’s board meeting ran over almost a half hour. In a way, it irritates me; in a way, we’re making progress. Jay was present, as was Arthur, who we elected/accepted as the new Helpline Director, replacing Jay. Jay is now officially through with his duties to the board. I stopped at Papa Lou’s on the … Read more
I caught up my journal today. I left work at 6:00, and stopped by the Card Factory for some New Home cards for Phyl, Jimmy, & Jeane, Courtney, and Richard, a graduation card for Laura, a “love” card for Robert, a birthday card for Steve (which I’m not real happy with), and a thank-you card … Read more
We had a quick breakfast of bagels at Wrapworks, and Robert and a very tart drink, consisting of lime juice, and two other juices. I took a sip to take my pills, and it made me wince. Back at the room we showered, packed, and checked out. We got directions from the concierge on how … Read more
We got up at around 10:00, and went out for breakfast at the Dupont Grille. The food was good, but pretty expensive. It turned out to be just over $30 for breakfast. And that wasn’t even the buffet. The coffee was $3 a cup. Ridiculous. The service was not very good at all. We were … Read more
I left work late, a little after six, and the traffic was horrendous. I called Jay at about 6:45, and told him that I wasn’t going to make it for 7. I stopped at the Papa Lou’s drive-thru for dinner, which was a big mistake. I literally spent 10 minutes in the drive-thru line. Unacceptable. … Read more
