Telus arrived and gave our internet a boost

by adding an extra line. Our downloads and upload speeds are about 35% faster. My games are going to download faster.

Hopefully in the next 2 weeks if everything works out ok, I'm going to get the Elgato stream dreck. The new version in white. A bit of a birthday present for myself.

Thursday night at an undisclosed location nearby Anne and I are going out for our monthly outing.

I decided because now that Anne is on full pension (and my employer gives the ok) and I'm on full pension, I'm going to reduce my hours so we can keep what we have pension wise. Anyway that's all for now.  

There was some

confusion from the other day over the senior housing provider we want to work with. They said they had not received my re assesment, when I know it was sent out last month. An apologetic email from their end was sent yesterday morning to clear things up. All that remains is to set up an interview so we can get things rolling. We're asking for a 2 bedroom apartment. We might have to move into another place until such a unit because availible.

 

My soon to retired Doctor last week suggested I try Ozempec. For 2 reasons: 1.) To lower my Glucose level, and 2.) Potentually to lose weight. The only thing is, it will cost me C $25/month. A friend of mine said under her husband's plan Ozempic cost her C $160/month.

I'm almost ready to stream Live with my gameing channel on You Tube. However I want one more device: The Elgato Streak deck. The new one in white. I'll order on Monday the day Anne and I are going out to dinner because we're having Telus over Tuesday to check our internet connection etc. Anyway, that's all for now.  

I'm really enjoying

my summer break.

We're finally getting a bit of a break from the heat. Right now its +18° C out there. Going to be pleasent without the AC on for a change.  We have 3 more days of this, then back into the heat wave.

Since I bought my compression stockings last Saturday, they fit well. I like this brand. However my left calf is slowly swelling due to some edema. I'll be seeing my foot nurse in about 2 weeks

And finally: July 11, 1987 is known as "Five Billion Day," the approximate date on which the world's population reached five billion people. Earths population is now 8.2 Billion people in 37 years. Anyway, that's all for now.

  

I'm trying to cope with the heat here

in Edmonton. I rmember this time last year we had a lot of rain. Anne and I were about to head out to Memory express and I bought the 2Tb m.2 drive I'm using now. After we went to iHop nearby.

Before bed this morning at about 5am, I dl game pass for PC. Initially I thought I'd be able to play a game called Chivilary 2 but for somereason, it failed to initialize. This morning I tried again and figured this was an AV thing. I'm not sure what the issue was, but I was able to dl and install an old friend from the 80s. Bards Tale. The whole trillogy. I remember playing just the first game but life got in the way. I built & equiped a party. I'm not going to add this to my gaming channel. This is for my own indulgence.

Currently we're going through a heat wave here in the city. Right now we're at +29° We're callling for +34° C. I'm no worse for wear. Anyway, that's all for now.

Over the last 24 hours

 I was totally dehydrated. I got the headache and low energy. Alsmot like I had the flue. So, that took me out for about 18 hours. I couldn't even eat. 

I have 2 outings today: Helathcare solutions for compression stockings, and a late Doctors appointment at 4pm. He wont be done with me until ~ 4:45pm by the time I get out of there. I won't get home until about 6pm. I'm thinking about getting the compression stockings tomorrow instead

I ordered a wired game controller and a Blue Tooth (5.0) adaptor. Not sure why I bought the adaptor, but it will come in handy for ear bud headphones whenever I get some. 

We're supposed to be in for a heat wave next week. The pianting crew is more or less completed their work. Hopefully we're in for good weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.

Since my last entry I ordered

A wired game controller for my computer for game pass PC and a Blue Tooth dongle that needs to be activated in Device manager. It will be here Friday. After that another dongle for some ear buds. 

This morning I'll be contacting Service Alberta to see what is happening with our Alberta Seniors Bennefit letters of entitlement. Once we get those, we'll be able to get that interview and ask for a 2 bedroom apartment. That's what we want to look at.

Up next is a teleprompter and its going to be on the tripod behind my monitor. Hopefully its going to hold my camera and iPad. As for today, its my work laptop maintenance day. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on this weekend

however, I have a Doctor's appointment. My Doctor of  20 years is retiering at the end of this month and I have an appointment on Thursday, to follow up on my Lab test from last week. Also on Saturday I have BoB.

I went to our Chapter BBQ and it was very nice. I didn't eat anything. I wasn't that hungry. The fellowship was good. I had Wetaskiwin, my lodge, and Chapter. So that's 3 Masonic events I went to

This month I have my Doctors appointment, BoB, and Anne and I are going out for our monthly "Date night." Plus I have 3 days I want to volunteer at Fort Edmonton, in the 3rd week of this month.

I'm not giving up my on my You Tube channel. My last video, is just about a channel update explaining how I'm going to take a break from music for the summer. I might get back into my gaming. See how that goes. Anyway, that's all for now.
