Happy Birthday, Phillip. Remembered, today is Phillip's birthday. So, he would have been 68 today. I know how I outlived him. He, definitely, didn't take care of himself. He was who he was. But ain't we all. Did take the Mutt out for a walk today. Went great. Will have to put the videos together for tomorrow. Just sitting playing around with my computer. Changing the display with my browser. Moving toolbars and now, I guess, will be working on the background photo. Let me find a photo of Phillip. You all have a great night, sleep well, dream sweet dreams. Have a great Sunday. Take care, be safe. God bless. Memories are so nice. Good and bad ones, as well. Good memories give us substance. Time to get up, ugh. Fixing a cappuccino. Bad memories we should learn from. Can't change things, but can learn from them. Don't mean we won't repeat them, haha. End with, "Happy Birthday, Phillip!". Love and appreciation.

Friday, night/Saturday
What a BS world we live in now. Don't mind ads too much, but now they are everywhere and getting longer and longer. The substance in the world is getting less and less. Violence, hatred, sex, more and more. That makes the world turn around, but now, it makes things so much more cheaper, classless, petty. People are getting further away from God. Just me. Guess the important things, doing better with my eggs, the turkey sausages seems like they will work out great, Chance is eating his regular dog food, but, ugh? His vest fits great, he accepts it well. Hope to start walking further. Gemini does help a lot. Finally, asked the right words and it explained to me a .bat routine (old DOS) which will change my windows scaling quick and fast. So, don't have to deal with small icons, small text, and can switch back to 100% without any trouble when certain programs call for it. Wait to see if it will work in the future. Well, school work awaits. Oh, the knife worked great on the sausage, just will use a small cutting board next time. Still learning. Tomorrow. It is tomorrow, around 5 a.m. Worked with Gemini to get my display looking better. Reds didn't quite so red. Seems a lot better. With Windows and hardware, there is nothing perfect. Especially, with my eyes, haha. Worked on some things. My new watch is working great, but somehow it is set to notify me when I need to get up and walk around for a minute. It seems to be what I need, so will try not to get aggravated with it. Should be better for me. Well, do have a great Saturday. Will see how it goes. Might try to take the Mutt for a longer walk. Will see. Take care, be safe. God bless."The ONLY path to God is the TRUTH," - sle.

Friday, morning
Should go to bed soon but watching "Constantine." Found a place to download a bunch of movies for free. Downloaded "Bring Up Baby," 1938, b/w and colorized, and "Dune". Could play them on my TV, but it would be bothersome, so will play them on my computer. Going to see if I can get a floating window video player to play them. Want them floating over my regular windows. Anyway, another project. Thawed my shrimp and was easy to peel the tails for my soup. Still a ton of soup left. Thawing my turkey sausage for later today. Want to get up early and stay by the door. My watch is coming in tomorrow. Something for the kitchen is coming in, too. Hopefully, will complete things I need for my kitchen. Just have to rearrange a few things on my counters. Did weights the other day, my arm exerciser, tonight. Will see if I can get back into it again. Look into my dog leashes to maybe start walking down the road more. The lane is more open now so will want to keep Chance on a leash at the same time giving him more leash to use. Think I have one that will extend. I can get into some deep stuff with Gemini. Surprise how much of what I think has been thought of before. Nice to prompt Gemini and it complements me on my thinking. Anyway, some deep stuff tonight. Did get the leash. Just have to watch it coming back pretty quick, but think I can fix that. Did get the Mutt a new vest. Will see. Well, later. Friday evening. Got up early and started waiting for my packages (2): 1 - Apple Watch, draining tray for counter, 2 - dog vest for Chance, flavoring drops for water bottles. Going to try to use more water, but would like a little flavor. Finally, got watch in. Set up wasn't too bad. Love the bigger screen and it is faster. Will try to use it more since things are a little bigger. Love Sweet Pea's photos. Hopefully, won't need anything more for the counters. Chance didn't mind the vest. I can see him better in the weeds. We walked to the Sweet Oak Farm sign. Put some water flavoring drops (squirts) into some water bottles. Let them get cold. Test later. Don't mind the watch band, but don't know how easy it will be to get on and off??? Might look into a protector for the screen. Will try to do a little school work, tonight. Homeowner's insurance, UGH! Only thing I can do is verify the coverage they have down on me. The amounts seem high. Just another racket. Though I can get the home recorded as immovable property, insurance companies will still treat it as a mobile. The rackets today. Always had rackets, but now, they don't even try to cover things up. Play around with school work and, maybe, set up watching old movies I have on my computer. Always something. Still warm outside, but not extreme, though more humid today. Have a great night, sleep well, dream well. Take care, be safe. God bless.

Thursday, early morning
Discovered that my video AI studio won't work. Basically, what I was doing before with Google Flow was the way to go. It wasn't a waste of time because I did learn a lot. Glad I checked into it before I spent more time, haha. Go back to my old way. Chance is eating his new food, apparently, he enjoys bacon flavor, haha. Whew. That dog. Took a little bit, but decided to get him the better dog food for his health. Hope it works as well as this new stuff I have now, Kibble n' Bits vs. Gentle Giants. Flavor vs. Real. Ugh. More money on this Mutt. Like 76 cents more a lb. Ugh. Haha. It does make me feel good that I can give him a good life. One day I will find out what he is good for. Haha. Nothing! Hehe. He is a good dog. Purchased me a new Apple Watch. I enjoy the one I have, but started using Siri a little more and, hopefully, be using it more in the future. It has a little lag in it now. I hope the new one is faster and it will be a bigger screen so that should help with my photos. Love having Sweet Pea's photos on it. The bigger screen should make them even nicer. Writing Janet's son to see if I can get his share of the property. Doesn't make a difference but would make things a little easier, though I will pay for it. Do have to start making out my will, but might set up a trust instead. Just more to add to my list. But Penelope will do well if anything does happen to me. Not to be mean, but People do make me laugh. Well, old movies, tonight. Later. Night, now. Went and mailed a letter. Went to Walmart: tub for sink, new knife, new brush-soap dispenser, new something for around faucet neck, doesn't fit. Will use elsewhere??? The shrimp I bought the other day has tails on them. Haha. Will try sauteing it. A Charlie Chan movie. Used my mic a little with Gemini. Kinda nice. House payment went up because of insurance. Have to work on that some more. Always something. Mutt still isn't eating his old regular dog food. Picking out the new stuff. UGH. Sacked out now. Do have a good night. Sleep tight, dream some colorful dreams. TGIF for tomorrow. Take care, be safe. God bless.

Wednesday, night
Not quite wasteful day. Caught up with a lot of rest, but stomach was somewhat bothersome. Ozempic can cause stomach issues. Found something that helps with it, but can't take it everyday and it helps only somewhat. Feeling better now. Electric went out at 3:00 am, only for about 1 hours. Went to bed when they came back on. Starting to do dishes by hand. Need to set up a nice system for doing them. Got some stuff, but need some more. Found a dog food that the Mutt, yes, Chance, will eat. Funny, he will pick out the new stuff from the old stuff, ugh. Did produce another video, about 2 secs. Am learning, haha. Do like my flower photos. Found a couple of videos and a photo of Penelope I didn't remember. She is not eating an ice cream cone, it is a chalk she is pretending to eat. She did enjoy her karate. Higher food prices BUT portion sizes and quality is getting worse and worse. Gotta laugh as I cry. Maybe some school work tonight. Surely, some more of my video AI studio stuff. "The Outlaw Josey Wales". It can be funny. The old Indian, Native-American. Well, do have a good night. Sleep well, dream well. Take care, be safe. God bless.

Tuesday, near evening
Tuesday, near evening. Beautiful day, but some speeding vehicles on the road with tailgating, UGH. Tried out my Tractor Supply card. It works. Haha. Dealing with homeowner's insurance. Finding out that even though my home is tied-down, has skirting, and is immobile, I have to get it registered as a permanent home. It isn't done automatically. And apparently, insurance agents don't know that. They don't mind you paying higher insurance. Ain't out of their pockets. Anyway, will check into it more and try to get it done. Tractor Supply had a ton of dog food, but nothing I thought Chance would like. Did get him another treat, same as one I have but different flavor. Haha. Penelope spoiled him. Did a flowchart through Gemini for my video AI studio. Going to have to figure it out and work on getting it all together and working. Probably will do some more flowcharts. Ain't all so much difficult as it is so much out there: e.g. text to video, image to video, text to image, editing images, on and on. Getting there. Oh, did buy Chance some dog food at Walmart, see if I can get him to eat some regular dog food, I make, at least, a half-dozen or more trips to the dog feeding area every night, UGH, got some turkey sausage (the better one for my diabetes), diabetes, UGH!!! Some cooked shrimp, see if I might go to it vs. boiling it myself. Read something about that disease (Charcot) I had in my foot (hopefully, it is gone). I was lucky that I only lost some bones. It could have been worse. Apparently, it can affect nerves pretty badly. Hope it isn't something for the future. Hope I never get it on the other foot, but life. Had to dig thru some files. Several more projects to work on UGH. To end on a good note. I don't have class on campus until Monday, haha. Take care, be safe. God bless. It ain't AI that is bad, it is HUMANS that are bad. Ton of AI on FB and most if not all is violent, hateful, or sex. Lot of creative people with AI, but most doesn't have any structure or helpful/pleasant topics. Even FB, has a section for dating and a red notice indicator with two or three notices. I just click in and out. I love my peaceful and basically quiet life. The 'special' I would be interested in doesn't exist. I just keep praying, but God can only do so much. Haha. He doesn't have much to work with with me. Hehe.

Monday, evening
Monday, evening. Nice, beautiful day. School went well. Stopped at Sam's. Sad day when I spend more on the Mutt than myself. He does appreciate it with all his tail wagging and licking his choppers to let me know that he is hungry. The pig. Made my first video with my video AI studio, but still learning. Probably be awhile before the next one. My sleeping got screwed up last week, so have to work on straightening it out. Getting tired but tomorrow two classes so don't want to go to bed too early. Have a good night. Be safe, take care. God bless. Setting up the video AI studio is like programming, today. Not much coding, but a use of a lot of modules. Brings back old days of writing code in school. I loved flow charting. Later.

Sunday, morning
Got some sleep yesterday afternoon and evening. Been getting things off my list. The one main thing last is setting up my video AI creator app. Got it working, but now, how to use it. It uses nodes and models and other things I am just reading about. Shouldn't be difficult, but will see. Switched to my native screen size, no scaling, and so many things that need to be adjusted. My task bar icons got so small and wasn't a good way to resize them, so replaced my taskbar with another app that creates a dock and is very customizable. Made the icons/buttons big enough for me. Easy to add so many things to the dock, so many setting and ways to adjust it, but staying with my basic setup as before. Love many of my flower photos. Will have to organize them one day. Learning more everyday and doing things quicker because AI can do basically all the research in seconds. Made some soup tonight. OK. Will last for about a week, haha. Need to find some healthy sausage or meat to add to it. Could do the shrimp but would like to add a variety and something that isn't too difficult. Must finally ate his regular dog food. Takes several days for him to do so. He seems to like the Milk-Bone soft chewy better much. Almost as much as the Beggin' Strings. Well, guess I will send this and post to FB. Still thinking on "things". Know the basic reason for the human race, but there has to be more. Something in the spiritual world. Yes, heaven in a sense, but even there, there has to be more. Something constructive, with purpose. Anyway, something to think on. Can't even begin to comprehend God. Do have a great Sunday. What is time, how does it work??? Take care, be safe, God bless.
