I missed having our weekly #videochat with #sonOne and #GD1 and #GD2 again, but I did get about fifteen minutes with #GS3.
He showed me his toy truck and said “trunk”, but would not repeat it.
Then he called me “Dadda”, just like he calls both of his parents.
He learned to ask “What is that?”, but he did not say it during our call.
-
Don’t know how I keep missing #sonOne, but it has been more than a month since our last #videochat.
-
16:30 here, 18:30 in #MO. Offhand, I'd say that today's #videochat will not happen.
-
Tried to call #sonOne for our weekly #videochat, but he's out getting groceries. Hopefully, he'll call when he's home.
-
45 minutes long and late-ish #videochat with #GS3. We got to talk about a couple of planned visits ... and the “Horton Hears A Who” book I bought for him.
He’s tall enough to reach the top of the mini server rack as well as the stove. He babbled at me off and on for the entire chat. He waved goodbye to me at the end. Of course, he wandered off a couple of times.
He wants a remote control for the little air conditioning unit. It is too high up on the wall, so he cannot turn it on when he feels too warm. He’s too tall for clothes that fit his width, so everything he wears is loose enough to fall.

Tried to call #sonOne on #Wire for our regular, weekly #videochat, but no answer.
-
Independence Day (2020-07-04; July 4) plans: backyard barbecue, watch the portion of the municipal fireworks show that is visible from the yard, possible #videochat with #GS3 or #GD2.
-
Watching another #Nim conf video. Then I'm going to text S and go to bed. Missed my good night #videochat with #GS3.
-
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.
-
In a #videochat with #sonOne and #GD2. #GD1 is asleep.
-
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.
-
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.

Finished today’s #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ) already. Good morning and #TZAG.
Yesterday, I drank double my usual amount of (decaffeinated) coffee and my usual amount of water, as the resurgent cold kept converting fluids into mucus. I felt pretty unproductive as I coughed and sneezed the entire time I was awake from 03:00 to 22:00 ... but I guess I did get some things done:
* Installed #Lubuntu 20.04 in place of 18.04—because of some deep changes, upgrading was not recommended—and then installed some of the things I’m currently working on learning
* I found an “Intro to SciLab” slideshow, so I installed #SciLab on the Win10 machine and started stepping along with the slideshow. There’s still quite a bit to go, but it seems doable. I’m considering downloading some #COVID-19 data and trying to see whether there are better ways to present it than most of the present sites are using.
* We had our second family-wide #videochat on #JitsiMeet last evening. It is really targeted at my siblings (including the extended groups that grew up in different states). I dropped out when it was time to talk to #GS3 on #Wire ... he’s got a new area to explore, so he and the granddoggy are spending a lot of time searching the recesses of the enclosed porch.
Today seems to be a little better so far, as there’s a lot less runny nose and sneezing (no coughing yet today).
-
#sonTwo installed a "storm door" on the enclosed porch, so that they can sit outside in the evenings during the warmer part of the year. Today's #videochat with him and #GS3 took place out there. My grandson--like his father--is really texture oriented, so he likes the door mat. But other than that, he's not especially thrilled about a small area with no entertainment. He kept pointing at the door and babbling.
-
No answer when I called #sonOne today for our weekly #videochat. I guess I could have called one of his daughters, but I didn't. My daughter-in-law's birthday is sometime this month, so they may be celebrating.
-
We had our first family #videochat last evening on #Jitsi_Meet. There were some occasional quality issues ... possibly because three of us were connecting from different rooms here. Added to whatever game #lazyNephew was playing, it may have saturated the connection. My oldest brother was unable to connect, but no one has followed up to try to figure out why. His granddaughter is his usual tech support, but she cannot go over right now.
.
Going to try this with my kids and grandkids, if we can ever schedule it, but we may continue our use of #Wire. I think the video and audio quality is better ... but we've only used 1:1 so far.
-
Goign to try to call #sonOne again for #videochat.
-
15:00 CDT ... time to call #sonOne for our weekly #videochat.
Hoping that this time, life and work don’t interfere. We’ve missed connecting the last three consecutive weeks.
-
I didn't get to #videochat with #GD2 today*, but I did get a brief session when #sonTwo called to let me say good night to #GS3.
* For the 3rd week in a row. I'll have to check with #sonOne tomorrow to see whether she's been doing her chores and homework. Usually, when she doesn't call, it is because he took her electronics away again.
