I love the Gospels! There is so much to learn, there!

And now, I’m off to bed.

I’ll see you in the early AM!

That’s a pretty squee!

I’m off to wash clothes, but I’ll be back soon with not necessarily news!

Good luck! I’m going to have a shower once DP leaves for work.

My clothes are done, but I need to hang them up. Zeke was in the clubhouse when I went up, and I still don’t like the fact that he thinks this is his “game,” when it was me that came up with the idea of being a write-in. By noon, it will be all over but the shouting. I’m hoping there won’t be enough votes to elect anyone, because when that letter is opened by the people I sent it to, there is going to be a bit of a shake up.

In the meantime, I’m not going up to the clubhouse until noon, when the ballots are counted. I just want it to be over with.

Zeke was pretty upset when I told him Charlie wasn’t going to vote, and wanted to know why. It doesn’t matter why. It’s Charlie’s choice.

We will just pour an oil slick in front of it...What about spike strips?

Just like a drone...how many rounds from a 12 gauge can it handle?

I just took my morning pills and went to have a pudding cup and found one had burst in the box, evidently from someone either dropping the box or putting something heavy on it. I hate when that happens! The mess was confined to one part of the box, though, so that’s good.

I really want this day to be over with, but it will be long. I didn’t sleep well, as Berta kept waltzing in and out of my dreams. It’s bad enough to see her from a distance on a somewhat daily basis, but at night, too??? ARGH!!!!

If I thought my truck would make it, I’d head for Central Utah to take a break from all this garbage.

Tired is my friend, today. Maybe I’ll feel better after I talk to Charlie.

I hope you feel better after you talk to Charlie! I took a shower. Then I called the county water department about our low water pressure problem. They said they’ll look into it tomorrow. Then I went to Walmart. Found pants for Patrick, shoes for Frank and Kathleen, who are brutal to their shoes. They didn’t have plain black pants in 8-Husky for Frank’s First Communion. (Did I mention he’s rather big around the middle?) I ordered some from their website, along with some laundry detergent to qualify for free shipping. Can’t have too much laundry soap!

It will be lunchtime in a few minutes, and then I’ll start cutting up vegetables for supper. I got a big piece of Angus beef on clearance at Harris Teeter yesterday.

There are plenty of good free AV programs.

I recommend AVG Free. I was running it myself until the DoITT VPN service quit recognizing the latest version. Now I am running Avira.

Neither one costs a dime. I think AVG Free gets the best reviews for not slowing down your computer while still removing or blocking everything.

I have AdAware and Avast as the only “anti” programs, but I will check out AVGFree, as I just can’t tolerate this thing being wonky.

So it’s AVG Free and Avira? I’ll do that, thanks! (You’re such a good help to me!)

Those are the two. And you can ignore that popup that says “Your private information might be sent to ArGee.” That’s a bug.

Lunch accomplished, we are off to the library, where I can pick up P.J. O’Rourke’s new book and a biography of General Daniel Sickles. Then we’ll go to Hobby Lobby, where candles are 50% off this week, and Kathleen says I can buy her tons of very small plastic horses.

Well, since I’ve had remote contact with certain people, my private information is probably compromised anyway.

(I want to go to sleep!)

I’ve been very diligent and made many lists for things to do in the future. That future could be as close as tomorrow or far away as next Monday.

I love candles, and wish I could afford them. Small plastic horses? Not so much.
