Also that Summer, I bought Mississippi State Bulldogs clothing for #GD1, #GD2, and #Little_Boy_A.
-
The hydrocortisone cream seems to have helped. Skin is a lot less itchy than it was earlier.
I don't think the cream is the reason I am sleepy and have a mild headache. Skipped this week's #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2. Probably #naptime.
-
Last year, I sent #GD1 a scientific calculator. In pink! #GD2 wanted a pink calculator of her own, so I told her I would look for one. Yesterday (Friday, 2020-06-12), hers arrived. Hers is a simple four function calc (with the M+, M-, MR, MC buttons that she’ll probably never use).
-
#GD1 confirmed arrival of the books I sent.
-
#coin_laundry day. Also shipped a package to #sonOne ( for #GD1 and #GD2 ) and one to #sonTwo ( for #GS3 and my granddoggy ). I may ship to #Daddy_A on Thursday.
-
#sonOne told his daughters ( #GD1, age 12; #GD2, age 8 ) about the two cops that used to stop me every morning on my way to school (at gunpoint, naturally) to harass me. Including a daily Interpol check, to make sure I wasn't an international terrorist. Something about a Black kid with an armful of books, I guess.
He's trying to give them more personal connections to the events of the day.
-
In a #videochat with #sonOne and #GD2. #GD1 is asleep.
-
#sonOne is using the protests and riots and the police abuse that precipitated it to teach #GD1 and #GD2 about racial issues in the US as well as police brutality and authoritarianism.
-
Talked to #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 for about an hour. #sonTwo is at work. About to call #Daddy_A.
-
During today's #videochat with #sonOne, we talked about network stuff (CLNS, IS-IS, OSPF, token ring, FDDI, the OSI protocol stack, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX), job-hunting, updates on #sonTwo's work status and #Daddy_A's birthday ( did I mention that "we" ordered his NAS box? ), vehicle repairs, Star Wars/Mandalorian, imported Japanese-market Transformers toys, and idiotic people whose behaviors are putting other people at risk for #COVID-19. Oh, and fried chicken places.
What did not happen:
Usually, #GD1 and #GD2 join us for 10-30 minutes; occasionally his wife joins us. Today, none of them joined.
-
Not calling #sonOne today for our weekly #videochat because I want #GD1 and #GD2 to focus on their mom.
-
#GS3 got his hands on a ball-point pen, so he's got a home-made tattoo on his leg. He had to lift his leg and show his grandpa his work. He also drew on a piece of cardboard, which he also showed me. He really enjoys scribbling. We'll see if this leads to a long-term affection for writing / drawing / painting.
#sonTwo is getting fewer hours at $TEMP_JOB, so he's looking forward to more time to study. It looks like it may be June before $MAIN_EMPLOYER reopens and calls them back to work.
#sonOne is going to move one of the girls into the room the boys ( #GS1 and #GS2 ) just left. #GD1 and #GD2 will have their own rooms!
-
#GS3 has learned to ham it up for the camera. He's ahead of his cousin #GD1 ... she was about 2.5 years before she started that.
-
My 12 year old ( #GD1 ) and 8 year old ( #GD2 ) granddaughters were animated and playful today. I suppose it means they went to bed on time last night. They usually stay up late on Saturday and then are sluggish all day Sunday, which is when I have my weekly #videochat with them and their dad #sonOne.
-
I dearly love the videos, pictures, and videochats with #GS3, but I still feel like they're giving him too much screen time. None of us knew better when #GD1, #GD2, and #Little_Boy_A were little, so they spent hours each day in front of glowing rectangles. I wish this last grandchild to grow up acquainted with, but not engrossed in whatever's on the screen.
-
#GD1 knows "Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde" ... she's definitely MY granddaughter.
-
Still trying to get #sonTwo and #Daddy_A together to test multipoint videochat and audiochat on #Wire, #Jitsi_Meet, #Nextcloud_Talk (whenever I get that one set up). So far, I have one-to-one chats with sonTwo plus his wife and #GS3 almost daily; one-to-one chats with #sonOne plus #GD1 and #GD2 (wife usually appears briefly) every week, and one-to-one chats with Daddy A plus wife, #Little_Boy_A, #Little_Boy_A2, #Little_Girl_A3 about 1-2 times per year.
-
#GD1 stayed up all night last night. Hopefully, #sonOne and his wife were able to keep the 12 year old up long enough today so she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night. She has (online) school tomorrow.
-
Two hour videochat today with #sonOne and #GD2. #GD1 is sick. The younger one is bored, of course, because she's at home all the time. She's not getting to talk with her best friend much, because the parents have to call and then put the kids on the phone.

Today’s discussions:
* #sonTwo scrambling to find another job, plus complete some projects around the house (fencing the yard, making a vegetable garden).
* #sonOne’s job is very busy recently, so he hasn’t had time for much of anything; #GD1 and #GD2 begin online classes tomorrow.
* #Daddy_A was broke when the panic buying started, so he’s having to drive all over town to find food & supplies for the five of them.
* Mark (from $EMPLOYER) is working from his #hotel most days, but now thinks he may leave the assignment early and return to #SoCal because his mom is older.
