Activities

Last Thursday evening I squeezed in 1/2 hour on the piano project. I was able to get 20 keys cleaned and put back into place. Once I get the other 68 done, I can begin the not-unsubstantial task of leveling them all out.

On Saturday I continued the huge project of cataloging and organizing our DVD library. I was able to clear-out a section of our VHS collection to make room for the DVDs. Dad is working on burning the best of the VHS collection to DVD before the VHS tapes totally disintegrate.

At YRs on Saturday evening we watched the next section from "Commanding Heights," which was fascinating. We also discussed all of the initiatives and ballot measures on the November ballot. There were a couple that I had not heard about before.

Yesterday I went back to the doctor to get the results from my blood tests. I am happy to report that I am now certifiably healthy. The test results were absolutely normal and healthy. My good cholesterol was a bit high and my bad cholesterol was on the low side. The doctor was very pleased. I also discovered that I have a bit of athlete's foot. So the battle has been engaged.

Last night I managed to get home before 9:00 p.m. for the first time in almost two weeks and was able to get a limited amount of work done. However, I did not make any more progress on the piano. I was way too busy trying to get some essential stuff done like laundry, cleaning, and installing the new mini-blind in the study. I also disinfected the insides of all of my shoes as the doctor recommended.

This morning I got up early so I could be at work early for our annual business park owners association meeting. I typed-up the minutes and distributed an updated business park directory before noon. The meeting went well, and my duties as secretary are pretty much over again until next fall.

This evening I begin staying with a co-worker's 13-year-old daughter while he is gone on a business trip. I will get to pick her up from school and review her homework. I'm looking forward to it. For an evening activity I am going to teach her how to cook. I have decided that crock pot cooking is the most-likely-to-be-used method for their household. This evening we are going to learn how to plan meals and then go grocery shopping for the rest of the week.
