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.

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.
-
I'm not sure I'd ever use a 3D headset. Just a few minutes of 3D on the #3DS and I turned that completely off.
Maybe I'll change my mind when I can get to KC and try the 3D lightsaber game that #sonOne and #GD1 play.
-
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.
-
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.)

I bought the Dora the Explorer toy guitar for #GD1 (currently 13 years old) when she was two years old. Naturally, I had no idea it was so loud when I bought it. #sonOne still reminds me that I bought the loudest noisemaker possible.
-
#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.
-
#GD1 (age 13) sent me a text at 01:35 her time ( US-Central ). Now I have to pretend to be surprised when her parents figure things out and start taking her phone at bedtime.
-
I missed having our weekly #videochat with #sonOne and #GD1 and #GD2 again, but I did get about fifteen minutes with #GS3.
He showed me his toy truck and said “trunk”, but would not repeat it.
Then he called me “Dadda”, just like he calls both of his parents.
He learned to ask “What is that?”, but he did not say it during our call.
-
Woke up this morning to a message from #GD1, thanking me for her birthday presents ... which were due to arrive tomorrow for the big weekend, but apparently arrived this morning.
-
Sent #sonTwo, #Daddy_A, and my friends Mark and S each a photo of the outside and inside of #GD1's birthday card. Mark just called back to ask me if I knew what I bought.
Yes. She'll be 13. That's probably the tamest card she'll get.
-
Found two manga books in English for #GD1's upcoming 13th birthday. She started reading them a few months ago. I honestly have no idea whether the ones I found will be enjoyable, but I'll know in about a week.
I should ask her to have her mom call me. I can send #GS2's gift card directly to him, because I know he'll spend it on himself without question. I want to send #GS1's card to her and have her get it to him ... he's the "responsible" one that will be easily guilted into putting it toward the bills. (Yes, the bills need to be paid, and he's working in fast food, so probably not getting many hours to begin with; but you have to occasionally do things for yourself or you'll wind up bitter. "I never got anything for myself to enjoy" is a terrible place to be.)
-
#sonOne informed me that their cellphones are back in service, so I started the morning by sending #GD1 and #GD2 some garden photos. Then I thought it wasn't fair that I rarely communicate with their older brothers #GS1 and #GS2, so I sent them a couple of pictures also.
-
#sonOne has not said anything about financial stress, but his phone is 'temporarily out of service' and so are #GD1's and #GD2's phones.
-
Also that Summer, I bought Mississippi State Bulldogs clothing for #GD1, #GD2, and #Little_Boy_A.
-
The hydrocortisone cream seems to have helped. Skin is a lot less itchy than it was earlier.
I don't think the cream is the reason I am sleepy and have a mild headache. Skipped this week's #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2. Probably #naptime.

Last year, I sent #GD1 a scientific calculator. In pink! #GD2 wanted a pink calculator of her own, so I told her I would look for one. Yesterday (Friday, 2020-06-12), hers arrived. Hers is a simple four function calc (with the M+, M-, MR, MC buttons that she’ll probably never use).
