Awake: 7:15am Temp 37 sleep 8+21 sunny overnight @ Pahrump, NV.
This morning, I take the time & make myself a hot breakfast: eggs over easy, toast & bacon; it’s been awhile since I’ve done this.
Gary visits in the middle of my gourmet cooking but insists that I continue cooking & then eating. He has questions about the Foote family & since Kathy’s update call last night, I have answers; although not nearly as professionally delivered as Kathy would have.
During Gary’s conversation, Zack calls while walking to work in Seattle; he learned about Matthew from my Blog & also has questions & I have answers. Eventually tho, I gave Zack the phone number for Matthew’s hospital room so he could get touch with Melissa or Kathy directly.
Late morning, I run the auxiliary generator & do some tuning up of the speed control unit by adjusting the magnetic pick-up probe. I’ve wanted to do this for some time now & today was the perfect day for it.
On my walk to Wal-Mart to return a pair of toenail clippers, my sister Corinne calls & asks for an update on Matthew. I am now prepared for this & gave her all the details I thought were pertinent.
Another call came thru @ 5:05; it was Matthew himself. We talked only briefly but he sounded in good spirits. Then Kathy came to the phone & reported the latest update. “Everything is going a lot better now” she reports. In fact, they may even be released tomorrow & return to their home. “That is good news” I say.
Dinner: leftover turkey soup with noodles, oyster crackers & a salad.
After cleaning up the dishes, I continue sorting out papers from our file & actually finish the job this evening.
Tonight’s DVR movie: “Modern Times” with Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Chester Conklin, etc. Charlie attacks the machine age in inimitable fashion, with sharp pokes @ other social ills & the struggle of modern-day survival. Chaplin’s last silent film is consistently hilarious & unforgettable. 1936. This movie was fantastic; so funny it brought me happy tears.
