Singing, scanning, laundering, pool playing, phoning, burning

Was talking about the singing last evening and Dear Daughter mentioned that when she makes her video she'll be wearing headphones so she can't hear her own voice. That's a wonderful idea! I knew about doing that, but for some reason had completely forgotten about it. So, even if I just sing the Happy Birthday song I'll still do the headphone thing. Now all I need to do is find a song and sing while recording. Maybe today.

Got the Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition (free) downloaded on both computers. Both computers have been scanned and cleaned. Now I'm trying to decide whether or not to uninstall Windows Defender and/or SpyBot Search & Destroy. Ad-Aware decided that even the free-version users should be protected and added a 'real-time' Watcher that's always, well, Watching. Now the question is if the other programs are really needed and what difference in computer speed would be made if I did uninstall them. Hmmm. See, this 'puter isn't really all THAT slow, but I'm always thinking of ways to keep it non-slow.

Rain hung 3 loads of laundry on the line yesterday, and by time evening rolled around I had brought them all in and put them away. So now that more bath towels are clean, I will take a shower today. Although I really haven't done much sweating (none actually) so technically I don't need one, but...

We've eaten breakfast and played a game of pool already. That's really not all that impressive since it IS after noon. I did try and level the pool table before that first game, but I missed one corner that I thought I had leveled already and the balls tended to roll toward that pocket. So after brunch of chocolate chip muffins, I re-balanced the table. Probably won't last since it always seems to sink into the carpet thus changing the finely tuned (not) balance.

Mom called last night. I talked with her for a while, then talked to dad a little. The whole episode lasted a little over half an hour (give or take. Didn't actually time it). They're doing okay. They both may need to go into assisted care facilitates. Dad because of his weight, mom because of her tendency not to eat well (coffee, candy, snack food). Don't know how dad feels about that, but mom seems to understand why that would be needed and is okay with it, as near as I could tell anyway.

Today is sunny, but windy and chilly feeling. As long as you're out of the wind and in the sun it's great. Move into the wind and you feel much different because of the wind chill. We (used loosely) need to burn trash today. Hopefully the wind will die out or at least slow down sometime today. If not, we'll just wait - no biggie!
