I slept for much of the

afternoon yesterday and after dinner, I ended up watching Monday night Raw, which was over by 7:45pm. What with WWE's Main event Sunday is probably why the abreivated show last night. IDK.

Over 2 sessions I had just over 7 hours of sleep yesterday. That was aided by a Malatonin assist. But a bite to eat 

and a massage of my lower legs before bed helped to keep the RLS wolves at bay

Right now, I'm sipping my "sleep tea" as Anne calls it, a bit of You Tube, up out of the chair to get my steps. I usually like to do 1500 steps before bed, and minimum of 2k steps per day. Anyway, that's all for now.

It seems the longer I

sit in this chair, the more it settles down and the noises it made dissolves. One thing is certain, I need a new chair. Anne suggested I need an office chair from a place that specializes in office chairs. More on this later. 

I didn't think I would need to be in the EA degree team Thursday because there is normally not any music for this degree. It  was suggested to me that there is a portion of the degree where background music would be helpfull. I found some nice up beat music and I just need it to fit it into the degree structure. Easy enough to do. 

A close friend of ours and in our group is receiving home care. Our friend recomended this to me. I have issues with my toe nails as with my weight its hard to have them trimed. Anne does them for me occasionally. I need to call these people to see if I can get some help and have them trimmed off once every 2 weeks, when Anne is out shopping. She deosn't like strange people coming into our apartment. I hope to be setting this up, sometime durring the week. Anyway, that's all for now.

If it wasn't for CFL

football in the summer and Oilers hockey in the winter, most of my time is spent at the computer, news at 11-12 back on the computer You Tube, my music channel, and retro gamming. 

I've been invited for cards 3 days a week in the main floor lounge, but this RLS has. Irene next door has a small group going. 


I think she does this after "Coffee Club." I might do this in the winter. The game they play is Bridge or Wyst, which I've never played before. 

I've got a feeling that after lodge, I'll be back at work but I'm making my availibility for just 3 days a week. At 74 years old I'm closing out that portion of my life. This could be the last project as it cuts into my rent the more money I make the Alberta Government claws back from the AG pension. As a senior I really need to watch my income. Anyway, that's all for now.

Looks like my day

tomorrow is free. I'm not doing anything in Lodge Thursday other then open and close, it seems.

I'm seriously considering an account for the Audio Technica AT2020USB-XP Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone. Not only is it USB but sound monitored is from the mic itself via a headphone input on 


the mic itself. Also this mic has a built in audio interface. I've had Audio Technica mics before but the last one was an XLR mic input. This mic goes right to the sound card in the computer via USB.  

Anne left out of here to get milk. She didn't say where, Safeway or Capilano mall. Anyway, that's all for now.

The dog days of

summer. Translation: Not much going on. Sunday is lodge practice. Thursday is Lodge. 

Yesterday morning I woke up about 11am with a Melatonin pill in my system. Then back to bed about 2pm for an hour and a half. No game play nothing. I hope to get more into the Pokemon game today.


I've been thinking about Band in a Box. Apparently Long & McQuade has it or a license to provide a digital license for it. Might be interesting. Anyway, that's all for now.

It took me awhile

but I finally found the Retrobat instalation folder on my computer. I can finally install softwear versions of games on the coputer.


Not much going on around here lately. Or for this week. Next Sunday is our last Lodge EA° practice run and I want to get ready for that, then it really gets heated up. Practice Sunday, Lodge Thursday, Scottish Rite Friday. 

This week I've been wanting to check out that Doctor nearby because I have a yeast infection and my psoriasis is acting up on me. Plus I need an OTC script for a mussel relaxant for my restless leg syndrome. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was already to go to the

board of general purposes meeting Saturday afternoon. I felt I had enough sleep; I shaved, filled up my bottle of diet cola. Then I read on the TC chat there were something like 14 steps in the building where the meeting was being held. Similar to Banister. I replied that I don't think I could make it because of the long flight of stairs. Then I realized, wait: I'm not bringing my backpack with my iPad etc.  I sent a note in chat that with my apologies. I had a blond moment.

I remember the first couple of years of our marriage when Anne had the car while we were at Capital place. About every other weekend we'd go the Eastglen leisure centre for their Saturday evening adult swim. I got to thinking about something like that again maybe around here.  There is the Bonnie Doon Leisure centre just down the road and they have a Friday late night swim to midnight. That's something similar. I should check into that for us. Cost is $8.50 Seniors. We don't have the car anymore but when we get on the Drive happyness program, it's something to think about. 

No diary entry today. I'd like to cut down on that as well. Get more into my gaming and music even though I cut Sonic pass. it was just costing way too much. Anyway, that's all for now.
