Sat Sep 10 08:23:51 EDT 2016 Slept from around midnight to eight High of seventy-nine today. Rain. I went back and looked through my saved mail on the vps. `/var` had been filling up for a couple of months, and I just failed to notice. I really should set up working outbound mail at some point. I guess it's also time to upgrade to OpenBSD 6.0 too. Goals: - Clean kitchen and bathroom Done. Wiped down the counters, cleaned the toilet, mopped floors. - Vacuum, tidy, etc. Done. Vacuumed, dusted, wiped down the table, etc. - Dinner at dad's? Had the bulk of my chores done by noon. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/851/851-h/851-h.htm NARRATIVE OF THE CAPTIVITY AND RESTORATION OF MRS. MARY ROWLANDSON An interesting first-person account from a settler abducted by native Americans in 1675. Also, there's some fodder here for a LotFP adventure or campaign. https://toomanyzooz.bandcamp.com/album/subway-gawdz Took a twenty minute name in the late afternoon. Went to dad's from six to nine. Dinner with Yvonne, Kate, and Isla. Ryan's working; his new restaurant recently opened. Dad's bad. Yvonne said he hadn't eaten at all today. Hospice set up a hospital bed for him in the living room. He barely stirred or opened his eyes, although I think he knew Kate and I were there. Kate's pissed that none of the brothers have been to see him. I mentioned we're playing D&D tomorrow; she said she wants to play some time. I wish I could do something for dad. Took a twenty-five minute walk after I got home. It cooled off to seventy degrees. Half moon showing through the clouds. Chirp of crickets and the susurration of leaves. Breakfast: carrots, mixed greens, coffee with half-and-half, chicken pot pie Lunch: macaroni and cheese Dinner: spaghetti with meat sauce
