Mid-morning. You had your new Shark
Navigator that it is, so far, and excellent machine. It picks up cat hair and
tiny scattered pieces of litter the cats carry off on their paws upon leaving
the litter box. You used it in the living room for hair and kitchen floor for
litter. This is what you bought it for and it performs as stated. – Amorella
0947 hours. I get excited when things
actually work as advertised. It took me a little more than a week of
researching (from time to time) for what would work best in our home. The large
‘cup’ is full of cat hair. We love our cats and put up with it – the machine
just makes it easier to keep up with. Plus, I am happy it works because it was
my choice. If it hadn’t or doesn’t, then I’m to blame, that is I blame myself,
for making a poor decision (which I do from time to time). Looking at this in words
it seems a little trivial, but it is the real world as far as I am concerned. –
Carol came downstairs from a telephone call and I did more sweeping in the
dining room – another large ‘cup’ of cat hair. We are both pleased.
Wendy called. Your Uncle Ernie died last
evening. This leaves you somewhat sad but relieved he is in no more suffering.

1041 hours. I love my uncle. He was a
good man. I feel proud to have known him as a person more than an uncle. He was
like a father to me in many ways. Some of his last words to both Carol and
myself were to “Do things together, enjoy your time together.” This we were
already doing which is very pleasing to me. If there is a personal consciousness
after death, I hope to see him again, both of us in a refreshed light. – rho

Tomorrow
you are going to visit Aunt Patsy and will no doubt stop at Kim and Paul’s. You
are wondering what the chapter five, theme title, will be and which segment to
begin with. You did quickly skim over the chapter last night but cannot
remember anything about it presently. “Resolution” will work here. Begin as
before, with Brothers Five. – Amorella
1203 hours. Thank you, Amorella. These
matters appear to be such minor aspects but I get tied up with what to choose
and where to begin – it seems so arbitrary to me.
It is not arbitrary because both allow you
to be more efficient with your word production. – Amorella
1207 hours. I have not heard that
before; you make it sound like I am a manufacturer of words.
You
had lunch at Smashburgers after running a few errands and now you are at
Kroger’s on Tylersville. Go get you meds, orndorff. – Amorella
1415 hours. Thank you, Amorella. I
forgot I told Carol I’d pick them up. To be honest here, I don’t know if I
remembered it myself or it was at your prompting.
A
good self-test either way as you spoke the truth. – Amorella
1418
hours. Second-guessing takes too much energy. I will work on Brothers 5.
1655
hours. I have 550 words. This is interesting. This is a first for me. Here is a sample of the last words so far:
** **
.
. . “We would have been born in 1842; who was President?”
“FDR,
of course.”
“No,
I mean in 1842.”
Richard
pulls out his iPhone and presses Suri
and asks. She responds, “Checking on that
. . . the answer is John Tyler”.
Richard
presses Suri again, “Is William Henry
Harrison President in 1842?”
Suri responds, “Alright, here’s what I
got: (1842 is after William Henry Harrison died)”.
“She
says he was dead by 1842. I didn’t know that.”
Rob,
who has been checking Wikipedia, replies, “Harrison was the ninth President and
the first to die in office. I didn’t know that either.” . . . (550 words)
From – GMG, Chapter
Five, “The Brothers”

1703
hours. I don’t know how to play it out; the rest of the earlier draft does not
work here.
1723
hours. What a conclusion. I know where the content comes from in a childhood
memory, but I don’t know how it arrived where it is in the segment. The story
has a bit of irony I would not have expected. The boys are in trouble. I cannot
imagine what lines they are going to stumble out with, but I am sure neither of
them is planning to be honest here. This is very amusing on a personal level,
for me at least.
You have been working on the eight
generations into the year 941 in England and in Scotland. You are a fussbudget
even now (though you see lots of errors in Running Through this time around).
You are trying to make amends with your first readers. Think of those first
books as published drafts boy. It is important that they exist so really
interested readers can see how you got from there to here. That’s what the blog
is about boy, errors and learning. Post. – Amorella
