Enjoying a comfortable, easy Saturday. (Except when I have to stand up, walk... those hips, you know). Was able to catch a rebroadcast this morning of President Trump's Rally last night in South Dakota. Good college football this afternoon, and my Saturday night Svengoolie to look forward to.

Thursday's three main areas of focus: 1,) finances, monitoring accounts activity, long term planning, learning and using my new bookkeeping system, 2.) chess work, and 3.) tonight's NFL game.

Not my most exciting Wednesday. Triple digit heat and my wonky hips kept me inside and barely mobile. Did finish a novel I've been enjoying and am tempted to get some more from the author loaded onto my Kindle.

Half-way through an easy Tuesday. My 3 chores for the day already completed: 1.) posted an email notice to a fraternal group to which I belong, 2.) did my weekly laundry, and 3.) enhanced the bookkeeping system used to monitor my household budget. Plans for the evening center around listening to the Rangers / Astros MLB game.
Thankful for the peace of mind I'm experiencing after resigning from the executive office I held in the fraternal organization to which I belong.

Early Monday morning thoughts as I walked carefully from my room to the kitchen,“Man, maybe I should look into getting myself a walker.” And that was followed immediately by, “ Oh, no! That's NOT what I want to do! If I start using a walker now, I'll be on it for the rest of my life!” So I started the day arguing with myself. Heh.
Listening now to this afternoon's Rangers game I still haven't resolved the walker issue. I may get one eventually, but for now I'll get by with my walking sticks. And I'll hope my wonky hips heal themselves up before I have to invest in any more hardware.

A pretty good mix of sports on TV has kept me entertained through most of this day: College Football, IndyCar racing, and now MLB. That's good because my wonky, unstable hips have kept me home again. The risk of falling and pain when I stumble put venturing out in public out of the question.

A mixed bag, this Saturday. My hips were very painful and wickedly unsteady almost all day long. This morning I could barely walk.
Late morning and early afternoon I was able to handle some correspondence chores for an organization to which I belong. And a day full of college football on TV provided entertainment.
Now I've got the classic 1931 Frankenstein movie on tonight's Svengoolie. One of my all-time faves.

A strange week, this one. Friday night finds me imagining life without reliable internet access. Several times this week my home WiFi has crapped out. Once during the evening hours it was off and on. And two different days it was off for several contiguous morning hours.
So I've had to dust off one of my Sangean radios, the one with the bigger speaker and better sound. I've kept the smaller Sangean close daily for... huh, years. And I've found myself watching more OTA TV.
Need now to find journaling/blogging software that i'm comfortable using offline, but that I can use to augment my online blogs. Huh, ... that'll be tricky.
For those keeping score, the last few days have found my darned hips giving me more trouble than they have for a long time. Good thing I've stepped away from most of my KofC activities. Really can't leave home without my walking stick these days.
