An Unevent Full Day

Friday and Saturday were not very spectacular days but full of activities.

Most of what I did was on the Cancer Forums. That does take a lot of time. Of our current 16,000+ members, only about 25% have posted at least one message. I am sure that number will be more like 10% if my helpers and I did not delete so many of them. I personally delete at least 50 a day because they contain links to pornography or are advertizing something. I cannot understand how they can register without actually having a human being do the registration… at least part of the way. The last step in the registration process is to enter a certain combinations of letters and number that are masked so that computers are supposed to not be able to read them. I guess as long as there is cheap labor somewhere in the world, there will always be people to enter that code.

The bedroom refinishing project has entered its final phase but its slowest phase as well. I am trying to find wall decorations and furniture for it. Unfortunately, I do not have money to buy any new items. I do have plenty of old things I can use. Unfortunately, there are not up-to-date with the Home Network standards.

I did my monthly grocery shopping on Friday. Fortunately, everyone was across town at Wal-Mart and not on this side of town at Kroger's so the lines were about normal for a Friday evening. I was out of so many basic things that I did need to spend a lot of money. However, I might not have to go to the grocery store again until mid December.

The small stain glass project is now done. All that I need to do is clean off is glass. I am having second thoughts about selling that equipment. It is a possible way for me to make some of the objects with which to decorate the house. I don't know… maybe that is the manic side of me thinking that I can do that too. I know that I can do the stained glass work. The real question is: "Will I?"

Netflix has a feature that I enjoy; I can watch movies instantly rather than waiting for them to arrive in the mail. I took advantage of that feature Friday night and watched the biography of Thomas Merton… one of my spiritual guides. The movies are not first run movies. To see anything close to current I still have to wait for the mailman.

I backed a couple of pumpkin pies and took one over to my new neighbors as a "Welcome to the Neighborhood" gift. They seem to be a nice family with two middle school age kids. Of course, they do make more noise than Mrs. Mary. Since the side door to their house is just 30 feet from my bedroom window, noise may be an issue later next year when they spend more time outside. Hopefully it will not be a problem.

Anyhow, as you can see, I had much to do but little to write home about. Fortunately, few people visit my blog, hehehe.

I listened to Aida today on PBS. This clip is of Luciano Pavarotti singing a part of that opera. Of course, Pavarotti died earlier this fall of Pancreatic Cancer.
