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.

Someone talking about Stardew Valley. I bought the game for #PS4, but I have still never played it. I also bought it for #Little_Boy_A to play on the #Switch.
-
#Little_Boy_A’s birthday gift next year is a #telescope. I revealed it to #Daddy_A last night, as we discussed the great conjunction. I can’t say it is high quality, as it came from the science / learning toys section of the toy department at #Target.
A friend used to ask his nephew to help me choose gifts for my grandson. In return, if I bought my grandson the gift the nephew picked, I also bought one for the nephew. It worked well, since they’re around the same age. But now the friend doesn’t live near the nephew, so I can’t always deliver the perfect gift anymore.

Okay, looks like #Daddy_A will attempt to schedule a #videochat session for this week. Because they don’t see me often, the grandkids wait before they come up to greet me. We’re trying to make it so that the next time I see them in person, #Little_Boy_A, #Little_Boy_A2, and #Little_Girl_A3 are all comfortable enough to come right up.
At our most recent meeting (Summer of 2020) we were together around one hour, and A2 never did relax enough to come over.

#Daddy_A had some time last night and this morning, so he set up the #NAS I sent for his birthday (about six months ago). #Little_Boy_A, #Little_Boy_A2, #Little_Girl_A3 are watching something he's streaming off the NAS now.
-
#Daddy_A said shipment 5 ( boys' shoes and socks ) arrived yesterday. Apparently, #Little_Boy_A liked the shoes. Shipment 6 ( boys' socks and shoes ) should arrive today, so hopefully, #Little_Boy_A2 will also like the shoes.
I'm a little disappointed that neither of the boys has recorded a thank you video and I've gotten no photos of the kids in their new clothes.
It's part of the basic contract. When grandparents send clothes, parents take photos of the kids wearing those clothes.
-
Speaking of #Daddy_A, the last two clothing shipments for #Little_Boy_A and #Little_Boy_A2 should arrive this week. These are shoes and socks.
-
Ordered some clothing for #Little_Boy_A and #Little_Boy_A2. The 7 year old and the 4 year old have the same waist size, so ordering pants is sort of questionable. Will the legs be long enough for the older child? Will this shirt fit the younger child without dragging the floor?
I often try to avoid #Amazon, but this time, I ordered from there. One of the things I dislike about Amazon is when I order items for multiple children in the same house, and they spread the delivery over a month's time. It's really a lot easier if everyone gets their stuff at the same time, even if they have to collect everything at one warehouse (ship it to that warehouse) and then ship it all together to the customer.
In this case, besides my order, #sonOne purchased clothing and shoes for #Little_Girl_A3. All of her things have arrived already, but for the boys, only a pair of t-shirts have arrived. The rest will arrive in (what looks like) 4 more shipments between now and the end of November.
I still haven't ordered their shoes. And I don't know whether #sonTwo ordered their socks yet.
-
I awoke to see a screenshot of #sonOne's order of clothing for #Daddy_A's daughter #Little_Girl_A3. He got everything: shoes, socks, pants, panties, shirts. There's even one item that might be a jacket. Now grandpa needs to put in an order for clothing for #Little_Boy_A and #Little_Boy_A2.
I also have a list of items to order for #GS3.
-
#Target had #Fortnite for #PS4, but I couldn’t stand waiting long enough for someone to unlock the cabinet. #Little_Boy_A is going to have to wait a while before I can play with him.
-
#Daddy_A asked me to pick up #Fortnite and join him, #sonTwo, and #Little_Boy_A in a game. So I've asked @amic@nulled.red and @corbin what I need to do.
It's honestly not likely that I'll be available at the exact time they play, but I'll make an effort to join them.

Remembering when #Little_Boy_A (age 7) learned to find Thomas the Tank Engine videos on YouTube, using his dad's iPad. That was all he wanted to do.
-
Shoyu ate a post. Did not post it, but did not keep it for retrying.
Anyone know of a decent GS client for iOS / iPadOS?
Retiring the iPad is on my list, once I find a suitable replacement.
(Funny story. Last year, I bought a Walmart tablet for $79 because #Little_Boy_A and @amic@nulled.red’s nephew liked theirs. Runs Android 9 and is pretty fast. Turns out it has very limited space for apps and a maximum five hour battery life. Back to the drawing board.)

Discovered where #Thomas lives. https://lain.com/objects/b11c4489-071d-42d0-8967-b9238ff3d25c
#ThomasTheTankEngine was a favorite show when #Little_Boy_A was younger.

Forgot what it is like to not feel hot at midday. Spent a couple of hours with #Daddy_A and the family at the outdoor seating of a food place.
The kids don't see me enough, even by video. The middle child ( #Little_Boy_A2, almost 4 ) made sure to stay outside of hugging range, but the other kids ( #Little_Boy_A, age 7; and #Little_Girl_A3, almost 3 ) got some hugs.
We talked about upcoming birthday gifts, A2's toy airplane and upcoming preschool, A's upcoming school year, and A3's expanding vocabulary.
-
Going to see my baby boy ( #Little_Boy_A ) and his dad ( #Daddy_A ) and the rest of the family today. (This is the 7 year old from #NE, not the 1 year old from #MO.)
-
Also that Summer, I bought Mississippi State Bulldogs clothing for #GD1, #GD2, and #Little_Boy_A.
-
I used to watch the original Power Rangers and Power Rangers Turbo with #sonTwo and his friends. I got to see some episodes of Power Rangers in Space with my nephews. I'd like to sit down with #GS3 and #Little_Boy_A / #Little_Boy_A2 / #Little_Girl_A3 and binge watch the first few seasons ... if they can watch without karate chopping one another.
-
Now heading out to do laundry 🧺 and ship some books and toys to #Little_Boy_A and his younger siblings.
-
Got the right grade for #Little_Boy_A this time. Now I'm ready to ship. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/270620
