Fools Day 2019

New spectacles were ordered from LensCrafters® last week for a whopping $500! And, the old man spectacles are completely made of plastic. Transition lenses were part of the deal, by the way, so the inventory of outdated spectacles can be whittled down.


The Libby “app” was uninstalled from the iPhone XR upon discovery that the most current public library e-books will be unavailable for quite a while. The wait lists are long. The shitty Apple® News “app” was updated to incorporate an aggressive paid subscription campaign. Major tweaking was required to limit the content to what is desirable.


Continued residency at the “old folks home” in Waikiki has yielded the observation that many of the senior citizens are “wacky,” to put it politely. Well, sitting around the “old folks home” while waiting to die would drive anyone berserk. As a consolation, the laundry appliances have finally been installed in the new building.

The prognosis of future blindness has brought on extreme melancholia. There can be no reconciliation for such pathetic news. All aspects of the current life-style have been severely affected. Even gym workouts are becoming tedious and questionable. Maintaining Notes has also come under intense scrutiny.

The updating of Notes was to continue while moms is still around. However, with the prospect of moms living well beyond ten more years (i.e., 107+ years old) has made the goal ludicrous. Thus, Notes could be mummified at any time. April Fool! Really? No, not really.

In any case, the agenda of the next few months can be categorized as “same ol’ shit.” Numerous dental, optical, and medical appointments will transpire. Monthly parking for a cargo van must located. All “loose ends” must be tied prior to making a commitment to motorhomelessness. In the meantime, divestitures continue. Any and all social connections, except for moms, are being mummified. And, there are absolutely no plans to sit around and wait to die in the “old folks home.”

Addendum: An early singular celebration of sorts occurred on Saturday with a huge meal courtesy Lahaina Chicken Company in Ala Moana Center. No further celebrations are planned.
