Spoke with my landlord a few hours ago. He was very nice, but gave me options I knew would be coming sooner or later. Either I buy this house I've been renting from him for ten years, or face a significant rent increase. So... the plan now is to live with the rent increase until I've got the logistics together to move Sylvia and me to the Philippines.

I didn't take care of the exact three chores I wanted to handle today, but I did take care of three: posted a major event reminder notice to my Assembly's Google Group, got good work done on the Assembly newsletter, and set an appointment with a new eye doctor. That third chore I didn't get to, I'll take care of that tomorrow morning.

It's been a pretty good Tuesday in the Roscoe-verse. The only points of conflict: two computer companies trying to bill me for services I have never used and never will. And they're apparently trying to bill an account I don't have. Jerks. Waiting to see their charges appear on one of my credit cards.

My morning nap never came, but the day has been very productive already. Built and printed many copies of KofC forms, am now finishing my weekly laundry, and expect to have ample time to take care of my chess work, Bible reading and prayers before NCIS comes on tonight. Heck, I may even squeeze in a midday siesta.

20:00 and the brain is already starting to shut down. Guess I should be heading to bed soon then.
Major chores of the day processed just fine. 10:00 Mass at STM, sent packet of material to a KofC officer at his request, sent name badge photo to another officer at his request, did some grocery shopping at Walmart. Watched NFL on TV, ate a meal with Sylvia. That's plenty for a Sunday.

So it's been a pretty good Saturday. So far. Took care of two KofC chores in the morning, and have been enjoying some pretty good college football through the afternoon while also moving in all pending CC games. Hoping for a good evening too.

Finding it necessary to break my daily chess work into three seperate chunks. I've got so many games in progress right now in five different online chess clubs that the brain fogs up if I hit too many at one time. And it's no fun paying with a fogged brain.

Today has been very long, I woke at 02:30 and was moving through early chores by 03:00. Accompanied Sylvia to a clinic this morning where she had a procedure performed. It all went well, I'm happy to say. Took her out to lunch afterwards, then back home for a quietly productive afternoon.
Let's see how many innings of tonight's Rangers game I can last before putting head to pillow.

Without any pressing deadlines, it's not easy to keep up a good rate of production.

Hopefully this will be my final long, busy day of the week, and I'll be able to coast through at a comfortable pace until the last week of the month. Tonight's KofC Council meeting shouldn't be too stressful. I do have a report to give but I'm prepared for that.
Got my weekly laundry done earlier today, took Sylvia out for lunch, and did some shopping. After tonight's meeting I'll relax and sleep easy.
