#GD2 and #A1 are about to experience a treat from the past. I ordered rereleases of "CDB!" and "CDC?" for them. Thanks to textspeak, I think they will be easier to understand now.
-
Also of note: I asked his cousin ( #GD2 ) whether she had a bike, but she doesn’t have one.
I immediately thought: What 9 year old doesn’t have a bike?
But I know that the drivers in that part of the city are scary, even when you’re in a car.
-
I finally had two days off in a row. I feel better, but still not where I should be.
I didn’t go downstairs and hit the treadmill. I think I need to reserve some time each day for the treadmill, seeing that I was gasping for air when I ran up a few flights of stairs at work recently.
I also didn’t get a response from the kids about putting grandkids (at least #GD2, #GS3, and their cousin A1) on videochats, so they never happened.
-
Took a short break at work to call #GD2. I was in a store and saw a section of children’s books, so I wanted to know what she likes.
She said “dog and cat books” and then she texted me: I like dog and cat books. I’m sending this reminder so you don’t forget again.
Thanks. Now I need to find another reason to call.

¿Estás aprendiendo español?
Found a Spanish <—> English dictionary at the 99 Cents Only store, so I got two: one for #GD1 and one for #GD2.

Good morning. It is 2021-01-09 16:50 UTC (08:50 PST). I’ve finished today’s #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ) and have planned a day of relaxation.
I’m probably anticipating too strongly, but today’s schedule includes:
* phone call with #Daddy_A and #Little_Boy_A and possibly playing a game together
* videochat with brother and his wife + other family members
* #videochat with #sonTwo and #GS3
* phone call with #faveNephew
* drawing something to send to #GD1 and #GD2 ... the younger granddaughter hasn’t been sending me any of her animations recently.

His cousin #GD2 was also really into her scribbles. She eventually got into a special art-focused program at school, and is now doing animations.
I don’t claim that #GS3 is going to follow the same path, but he’s more art-focused than any of the other grandkids (besides GD2) were at that age.
-
Looking at the planets each evening reminds me of when my mom had a telescope and used to take #sonTwo and my niece LG out in the back yard for celestial observation evenings once or twice per month.
I’m looking forward to living close enough to #GS3 and his soon-coming baby brother so that I can do something similar with them. And I’m open to picking up #GD1 and #GD2 (three hours in each direction) for an occasional weekend in which “telescope night” would be a regular fixture.

Missed today's scheduled #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2. Tried to have one with #sonTwo and his wife and #GS3, but it didn't happen either.
-
Could barely hear #GD2 on today's call. She told me that she's learning animation. She has mentioned it before, but now I wonder whether this is part of a school enhancement / enrichment program.
-
I almost always text in almost full English sentences. Almost always capitalized and punctuated, but sometimes I leave off parts like "I am ..." or "You are ..." at the beginning of a sentence.
My granddaughter #GD2 also does that, which makes her messages much easier to read and understand than #GD1's which are often in her own cryptic dialect of text-speak.
-
Wow, #GD2 is now 97. She was 8, but you add 1 for her birthday to get 9. The 1 has to come from somewhere, so we take it away from the 8, which leaves 7.
-
01:10 Central / 23:10 Pacific. Receive a Wire message from #GD2 (8 years old granddaughter).
Staying silent, because I know she's got online school tomorrow and don't want to be her excuse for staying up even later.
-
Me: What kind of books do you like?
#GD2: I like dog books and cat books.
Later
Me: I could not find any snake books. I hope you’re okay with dog and cat books.
-
Ordered 4 books (3 dog books, 1 cat book) for #GD2's 9th birthday. I hope it doesn't cause any issues. I only ordered 2 books for #GD1's 13th birthday.
-
Was able to #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 for about an hour and a half today on #Wire. He's been working 16 hours a day since June, but he got a week of vacation. It possibly means that he'll be unavailable again in a week, but I'll try to do #videochats with the kids.
Was informed that #GD1 lost her phone. #GS1 likewise lost his phone, but found it and sent it to sonOne because it wasn't accepting a charge. Daughter-in-law will make the six hour round trip to deliver the now-working phone to her son.
(Asked because both of them suddenly stopped responding to SMS.)
-
Me: What time are you finished with school for today?
#GD2 (age 8): It is Saturday
Oops!
-
I like watching the persistence of small children. When #GD2 was this age, they had a wooden porch about two feet high. She wanted to get off the porch and go to the fence. Every few minutes, she would try to make a break for it and we’d have to catch her before she ran off the edge. She would come from different directions, be facing somewhere else and suddenly turn and run.
#GS3 is similar in this determination to explore things and places that adults try to keep him out of.
-
I won’t get to see #sonOne or #GD2 near their birthdays this year, thanks to #COVID-19.
-
#sonOne wasn’t available for #videochat when I called today, but I know he’s been working 16 hours a day, six or seven days a week since June, so it is okay. I’m expecting to see him in person soon. I should also see #GD1 and #GD2. I really miss seeing them in video each week.
