Big Garbage Day, Olympics closing ceremony

[howeird]

All the recycleds got dumped into the bin, I collected the trash bags from the livingroom (near the recliner) and kitchen, and went out back and put them in the trash bin. Used the walker to push the two cold packs (Murray's Cheese & Mom's Meals) to the curb for bulk garbage collection. 

Neighbors came by this evening and hauled the bins to the curb. I may be able to do that next week. I mostly need better hard soled shoes.

Spent some time with Jade, she is back to her normal "let me shove my face into the back of your hand" self. She still cries occasionally, but not loudly and not persistently. She likes the container of freshly growing grass I put near her food.  

Spook guards me when I sit out on the porch (screen door closed, main door open)

Graham Norton this week was great, Adele and Dame Helen Mirren and a couple of lesser known veteran actors who are winning awards. The Big Red Chair had one winner and one loser. Musical guest was meh.

People's Court is now doing two cases an episode most days. TMZ was a rerun.

MSNBC and CNN are beginning to sneak non-covid, non-WMD stories in.

Strange but true the Las Vegas Fox affiliate is not MAGA tool. They mostly report local news, weather, sports and traffic. Similar to the Oakland, CA Fox station.

Breakfast was a classic Mom's meal, colby omelet with a side of two sticks of too-hard French toast which needed syrup and a tasty little sausage. I added a slice of Kraft cheese to the eggs. Chicken Tikka Masala meal for dinner, a slab of white meat chicken, the sauce was good but could've have been more, and the basmati rice was okay.  It took a long time to eat. Strawberries for dessert. Not sure what lunch was but I remember cutting up a small orange afterward.

Downloaded Jade videos from a Ring cam, posted them on FB.

Spent some time putting all my YouTube videos in one place, though there is one I am missing. I think is was recorded as an AVI file but I cannot find the MP4.

Watched a replay of the Olympics closing ceremony, it was not nearly as ornate at the opening but the Chinese volunteers were as energetic as ever, there were some children's choirs which sounded very Western, the costumes were cute. And as usual, the speech from President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach was beautifully written, inspiring and got a lot of applause for its "Give peace a chance" message. One thing which was missing from the Olympics, due to the covid restrictions is there was very little co-mingling among the national teams. Not a lot of opportunity to socialize.

 Delivered today was a sharps container. Mine is about a week from being full.

Washed out the aquarium filter again, the water is clearer now. Refilled Spook's water tank too.

Filled out the 9-page form for the urology appointment

Chatted with middle sister
