Here are my notes via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
12/30/2011 21:35. I heard Paw and he came to show me the AT&T letter confirming his payment method. Until 11:30pm, we sat in front of my HP computer and did a walk-through of four of his monthly recurring bills, which included water, gas/electric, garbage/recycling/yard trimming and of course the television/internet/voice services. He got pissed after I told him that I already set-up his accounts online two days ago. I apologized to him in a lowered tone of voice and explained my concern that he could avoid customer service and more convenience in paying his bills online. I told him that he can take back the control to his paperwork and check writing method at any time. Ha! It’s too late! I’m taking over, sort of. It’s a good sign for a New Year’s resolution for him, really. Plus, we get to spend more time together in front of the computer — a rare activity for father and daughter. Hehehe! Then he left to go downstairs and I explained to Maw, who doesn’t know about paying bills and tucked her in for the night. So it is: my purpose – here and now – for the elderly twosome.
12/30/2011 21:29. Heard single, LOUD pop “in” the mirror to my right side. I flicked off the sound and got up to check up on Maw, who was sleeping upright in her wooden rocking chair. I woke her up briefly with my footsteps but she went to sleep as I placed my left hand upon the top of her head. I prayed for her healing. Upon my thought of the word “banish” and the removal of that which doesn’t belong to her, her body jerked. I saw her feet/legs/arms move in unison as if something jolted her awake. Her head remained still in my left hand until she stirred briefly from her sleep.

12/30/2011 15:55. I went to close my bedroom window before drifting off to a nice, long (two-hour) mid-afternoon nap, when I saw a blimp traveling VERY slowly between 80 to 100 degrees north
bound over Mt. Hamilton. It had a
Marlboro advertisement emblazoned on its “left side”.
12/30/2011 14:08. I agreed with the boy when he told us that it is different to hear of discipline when coming from the dad. The boy wouldn’t behave so badly without the guidance of a failed dad during his growing years. I don’t blame the boy for not having a good relationship with his failed dad. It is no surprise that there has been no connection since birth. Karma is such a BITCH!
12/30/2011 10:41. While other people are “enjoying life” outdoors, we have found our peace and comfort indoors, knowing that security is a blessing.
12/30/2011 09:42. While eating another late breakfast/early brunch, we recall how Auntie Glorge almost lost her house to foreclosure. She had a “warning notice” and was able to save her house. The funny thing is, Auntie Malformed didn’t get a “warning notice”. I said aloud that Uncle Smack and his son, Joh, almost flipped his OWN mother’s house and almost successfully got/scammed off $100,000 from the social worker on the grounds of an alleged “elderly abuse“. Hmm…
