Trying to start a videochat with #GD1 (age 12) and #GD2 (age 7) before time for my chat with their cousin #GS3. They have not picked up yet.
-
An island location of $EMPLOYER is asking for people to come work there. I’m concerned about #timezones possibly preventing me from videochatting with grandkids.
I want to talk with #sonOne about scheduling chats with #GD1 and #GD2 before I head to the #hairport. #sonTwo already said they’ll try to adapt #GS3’s schedule to enable communication.
-
A telephone intensive day. Conference call, follow up calls from all over the country. Mark called about a tech issue his office is facing. I told him our office has the same issue, as yet unresolved. J-O called to ask my opinion on some comments he made during the conference call (and a follow up e-mail he sent to management in HQ). Missed #sonTwo’s call because I was on the phone with K and texting with S (both are on medical leave).
Called son back.
#Wire messages with both #GD1 and #GD2, both of whom are enjoying their school year so far.
-
Videochat with #sonTwo, his wife, #GS3 is just ending now. Delayed by a call with his older brother #sonOne ( and #GD1 and #GD2 ).
The hotspot is almost out of data for 2019-08.

Went to #Target to buy some more #yogurt, but got distracted by the pricing on school supplies. So I got backpacks ($18 each!) for #GD1 and #GD2 ( I bought #Little_Boy_A's backpack already ), art supplies, notebooks, folders, graph paper, an entry-level scientific calculator, pencils, elementary school lettering practice workbooks, and more.
#sonOne is going to have fun teaching his daughter to use that calculator. And the maps. Did I mention the wall-hanging USA and world maps I bought? (One pair for each son's kids.)
-
#Little_Boy_A’s grandmother is taking him school shopping this week, so I’ll send the backpack without school supplies.
Meanwhile, #GD1 and #GD2 have a shopping trip scheduled a week from now. I will not have to send a lot.
-
Apparently, #GD1 is almost big enough to wear her mom’s clothes and shoes. She probably has a few years of growth ahead,
-
Talking on the phone with #sonOne, #GD1, and #GD2. Even though she’s 11, I still have trouble understanding the older granddaughter on the phone.
-
#GD2 sent me a "Thank you" image after the most recent shipment arrived. A day or two later, #sonOne asked me whether the granddaughters had thanked me. I told him "I received thanks". Since I hadn't heard from #GD1, I texted to ask whether she liked her gifts. Her response ("ya") counts as thanks.
-
Had a nice long walk and talk with #sonOne, #GD1 (age 11), #GD2 (age 7). During the section of the call where I talked with the granddaughters, there were lots of awkward silences, but also some really interesting stuff going on. The younger one has a friend that recently moved to Missouri from California, so now she's starting to learn a little Spanish.
This was a special exception, because they are both banned from using electronics until they start helping out around the house like they should.
-
No phone call with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 today (network issue at work, so he was on conference bridges all day), but I did get a nice message on Wire.
Had a nice videochat with #sonTwo and his wife and doggy ( #GS3 was having a nap ). Also got a photo of him and the baby wearing #Dodgers gear.
Nothing from #Daddy_A today. I expect I'll get a "Hey, I forgot; I hope you're not mad" message in 2-3 days.

Communication summary for this week:

SMS conversations with 2 brothers, 1 sister, #sonOne, sonTwo, co-workers Ken and Mark
Online chats (text) with sonOne, sonTwo, #Daddy_A, two nephews, a couple of people from the Fediverse, #GD1 and #GD2 (plus exchanged drawings and photos with GD2); (video) with sonTwo and his family, joined by GD2
I did learn that this is important during my year in #PR, far away from all of these folks (Ken was there, but he was in another city).

#sonOne and I were just on our weekly phone call (this week featuring a long conversation with #GD1 [age 11], where she kept referring to us as old) and outdated tech like VCRs and rotary dial telephones came up in the conversation.
-
#GD1 thinks I’m a little older than I really am. I wasn’t born in 1948. Even my oldest brother wasn’t born then.
-
@kaikatsu I saw Emoji on home video with my granddaughters. #GD1 seemed bored, but #GD2 enjoyed it. I say I enjoyed it, but really I just enjoyed hanging out with them.
-
My granddaughters #GD1 and #GD2 are off of their no electronics time out. I got messages from both of them today, after about ten days without. I am tempted to ask if #GS1 and #GS2 are also on NETO, but I know it is just late teens / early twenties relationship disease.
-
It has been a few days since I've heard anything from my 11 and 7 year old granddaughters ( #GD1 and #GD2 ). It turns out they've been forgetting their chores, so they've lost access to their electronics for a while.
-
I mentioned building campfires to #GD1. She said "I would love to do that".
.
(As an aside, she's writing English, not SMS slang. This is a recent change.)
-
According to #GD1, power came back in their area around 17:00 UTC / 11:00 CST. KCP&L still has 78,000 customers (out of 877,000) without power. #KCMO, #KCK, #KS, #MO.
.
I don't have to fly to KC to teach my granddaughters how to start a campfire now.
-
Granddaughter #GD1 tells me power is out in #KCMO ... I suspect the snowstorm knocked down some power lines. #MO
