Continued monitoring the progress of the ''restorative healing'' of my arm muscles. Despite the return to full operational function of my right arm, it still experiences shocks of pain, especially as I'm trying to shove something aside, and even more especially if doing so from a level seated or lying position. The same holds true for the left arm, which still has not fully recovered -- its last remaining sharp pain-firing limitation being my inability to fully reach up behind my back (as in washing or scratching).
My assaulted toe has experienced somewhat similar dissipation in general pain, but still continues to flare-up whenever pressure is placed upon it in certain positions.
As far as my gardening is concerned, not only have my various discouragement measures not measured-up in curtailing the squirrel-digging inside of it, but it hasn't been going well: not only have the bean plants have come up unusally weak and limp this time around, but also, as always, any attempts to encourage the growth of okra or anything melon- or gourd-like (in this particular instance, the watermelon) only result in something that remains stunted and gradually wilts away (the ironic exception this time around being the cucumber plant, which for some strange reason continues to do remarkably well) -- even the pepper plants appear to be struggling.

Kept my follow-up clinic appointment this afternoon, again arriving a few minutes late -- not that it mattered any, as I still had about an hour wait time and didn't get out for close to another hour after that. Nothing new; just a scheduled follow-up for six months later, and a request to submit some blood work around that time.
On the trip back to the apartment I decided to finally document on helmet cam the scenic ride along the Pithlachascotee River and the New Port Richey Downtown Area(s) for a video upload project.

Continued to strip bare my walls and other hanging spots of all of the Teenage Panties I'd stolen during my time at my former worksite -- a task which I'd begun the previous night, prior to changing the bedding. Tossing them all together onto the bed into one single pile astounded me with the shear number of these intimate items I'd accosted with over that time. After taking several snapshots of the full collection, and prior to storing them away, I proceeded to take an exact count of just how many panties, and bras, I'd stolen from these young women, and they remarkably totaled ''Seventy-two (72) Panties'' and ''Ten (10) Bras'' -- (not including the four panties I'd stolen from our apartment complex's laundry room from among those instances where the finished and unremoved wash-loads were kept hogging-up access to the dryers).
I also finished uploading the previously mentioned riding video (post-filmmaker editing program production), having the previous day completed & uploaded the one I'd recorded while crossing the ''Courtney Campbell.'' For some reason, the second uploaded video did not render as well as the one uploaded earlier: clearly a ''Who?Tube'' rendering problem affected the quality of this second upload in a way that was not consistent with the first one.

June 12, 2023 (Monday)
Trying to beat the posting deadline for this date, as I'm at the time of this typing still waiting for the completion of my latest video upload, which involves my documenting yesterday morning's ride continuing southbound on ''Grand Boulevard'' as an addendum to the earlier ''Downtown'' tour.
Shortly past Midnight this morning I'd received an in-text video from my Sister, documenting my Dad, whom I figured she was currently in the process of visiting -- he still sounds & talks the same, but sadly he looks horrible, thanks to ''aging'' being a reality we all unfortunately still have to deal with, but I was fascinated by the fact that he still has virtually a full head of hair... and he still keeps that silly little pencil-point mustache.

As though the Universe were conspiring against me again, the final hours of last night (Tuesday) saw my Internet connections misbehaving severely erratically. Connection indicators appeared to be fine, and wire connection checks and several modem reboots not only did nothing to correct the situation but seemed to make matters worse. So what I'd first assumed might've been a ''Provider/Network'' problem made me later suspect that there was actually something going on inside my PC system that was gumming-up the works, which was a somewhat reasonable supposition as I'd had numerous programs/applications open and active simultaneously, particularly several programs that were involved in my performing my then latest round of Video Editing.
So just as I was in the process of trying to enter a ''Journal'' update before the Wednesday switchover deadline, the Online Connection completely severed. And when I tried running diagnostics to troubleshoot the connectivity problem, the entire system crashed, requiring me to implement a forced restart.
When the system rebooted, and I proceeded to return to my Journal entry text document, I was met with a ''recovery'' dialogue on my Word Processing launch. Not expecting anything other than the program to restore my document with the latest saved entries, I was instead greeted with a completely blank page! ... and nobody in any Internet searches (which, along with all other Internet access activities, were now of necessity being done via ''Wi-Fi,'' which the system had automatically switched over to, rather than its deciding to re-establishing my connection through Ethernet) could offer any solution as to how to reclaim what was lost in that Blip -- and so to rectify the situation myself, I had to recover what was lost by resorting to the ''Copy/Paste'' method to reclaim all of my lost texts by way of my Online-Posted saved Journal entries.
Regarding the video project I'd finished uploading Monday Night, just ahead of the Tuesday Morning turn-over-- and which should've come as absolutely zero surprise to me --the completed upload was locked/restricted because of some ''copyright'' seeking feature that still managed to ping the accompanying music track I'd included on it, despite my belief (or pleading hope) that I'd manipulated it significantly enough to either escape those detections or to at least have it be recognized as having been conspicuously altered. So as a result, I immediately set about reworking & reincorporating an entirely new audio track into the project in order for it to get a clear pass from ''Who?Tube.''
I then proceeded to continue working on the next follow-up new video project, finally managing to complete the new project later this afternoon: by the time this video (which was about 25 minutes in length) had finally finished uploading to ''Who?Tube,'' there was only roughly an hour left in the day... and the final finishing rendering task still had over a half-hour to go before total completion.
It was also yesterday (Tuesday), when offering counterpoint to the racially-charged topic of China's avoidance of movies with prominent or predominant ''Black'' cast members, that I was made aware of the planned ''live-action'' remake of ''Lilo & Stitch.''

Received a text from ''Mimi'' while I was at work Saturday (Jun. 17), with an offer to ''sit on [my] face'' later in the day -- to which of course I texted back welcoming the idea and opportunity of her ''riding my chin like a Rodeo Bronco.''
Stopping off at the Post Office after work to retrieve my packages, I was faced with a letter from the ''IRS'' saying I still owed some $100.
I tried to set-up one of my motorcycle helmet cameras to record my latest tryst with Mimi, only to find out after nearly a three hour visit that absolutely nothing got recorded, despite all of my preliminary tests that I'd conducted prior to her arrival performing flawlessly.
My after-work interactions with Mimi had further contributed to draining me out, which resulted in my sleeping early and all through the night after returning from work Sunday (Jun. 18).
''Weekend in Review''
June 23 - 25, 2023 (Friday-Sunday)
During a brief tending to the garden Friday (Jun. 23) I decided to make another attempt at planting some of the broccoli seeds in hopes that something will spring up to fill-in the empty patch area. Everything in the ''New Plants'' area of the garden. As things have progressed over time, the cucumber plant has prospered and seems absolutely determined to completely take over the entire garden and then some; all else is struggling along slowly but surely, with the greatest challenge being one of the pairs of tomato and pepper plants, among with several of the bean plants -- the common thread between all of these lesser enthusiastic growers being that they're all located farther toward the center part of the garden, as opposed to the healthier plants which were placed closer to the border fence.
While at the jobsite Saturday (Jun. 24), after listening to the complaint of a grocery delivery driver who claimed that she'd been treated very disrespectfully by an employee stationed at the main entrance, claiming to have had some sort of paper thrown at her in conjunction with being called a racial slur. With little more than the presence of the cameras posted at the entrance to serve as potential back-up of at least one of her claims, I provided her with out immediate supervisor's contact number to file her complaint.
Prior to her continuing on, I expressed interest in the possibility of engaging in personal conversation & free-time activity with her, and she confirmed (claimed) that she's ''Single'' and gave me her number. In all honesty, I think it was largely (slight pun attached) her titties that hooked much of my attention and motivated my outreach: I then sent her a text a short time later providing her with the name of the person with whom she claimed to have had the issue.
After returning from work Sunday (Jun. 25) I decided to take a bit of advantage of the evening weather to try to ''Get My Jog On'' again, combining it with my package retrieval from the Post Office -- the vegetable chopper/slicer kit from my most recent ''Amazon Vine'' order.
After returning from the Post Office run, I sent my first text to Shai, the delivery driver woman from Saturday, feigning concern about the update of her complaint and inquiring about how the rest of her weekend went. In actuality, the ''text'' I'd sent was an ''email draft'' snapshot, as I'd wanted to waste no time in getting it out in the open that I'm very much into ''Eating Pussy,'' which is cleverly but clearly expressed in the automated ''Closing Signature'' of any emails I compose on the designated account. Even though I'd suggested that we try to engage in a ''chat'' later (like, Monday), I'd actually expected her to send back some sort of a reply a bit later and was somewhat surprised to have not heard anything back from her by time the night came to an end, so I called it a night.
''Weekend In Review''
July 6, 2023 (Thursday)
Kept my Ophthalmologist appoint this morning, learned that my regular Dr. had been out with an injury for, as I was told, the past seven months.
This latest exam revealed that I'm now developing a cataract in my ''healthy'' eye, and they scheduled me to return next week for laser treatment to relieve the pressure in that same eye. (I also raised the question about 'floater removal' from that eye as well.)
After returning from the Post Office with my latest ''Amazon'' package that contained replacement mirrors for my motorcycle, along with a couple of larger capacity memory cards for my helmet-cams (an order which I'd ''purchased'' using my Credit Card ''Reward Points''), I used that as my opportunity to switch out the handlebar mirrors assembly and do a scrub-down of the motorcycle, deciding to postpone any waxing/buffing/coating until the following day.
I kept thinking I wanted to go out and order from either the Thai restaurant just over the river, or the Vietnamese restaurant just around the corner on US-19, but decided that I was in no agreeable mood to spend so much money at either place -- especially at the latter, if they weren't going to be ''Vietnamese'' enough to include ''Summer Rolls'' as one of their menu item options.
23:45, Eastern Daylight Time
July 7 - 9, 2023 (Friday-Sunday)
Commenced to doing the wax & polish finishing job on the motorcycle Friday (Jul. 7). I was at a crossroads of indecisiveness regarding which of two different waxing types to utilize in the process, so I declared a stalemate solution by composing a mixture of the two (final aesthetic results & overall protection effectiveness were questionable).
Sent a text to ''Mimi'' after returning from my workshift Saturday (Jul. 8), extending a ''Pussy Eating'' invitation to her, driven mainly by an old video file I'd rediscovered of me Going Down on her that I'd recorded with the webcam using the ''OBS'' recording program, which produced rather poor final results.
Heard some intermittent ''clicking'' sounding noise which seemed to be coming from circuit switch box right before having to last-minute leave for work Sunday (Jul. 9), so I could not take any time to check/monitor the situation to make certain -- needing to wait until I'd returned to the apartment learn if the sounds / potential problem still persisted.
I'd planned on immediately conducting a helmet-cam recording ''looping trip'' of the ''Keystone'' area right after the end of my workshift -- something I'd ''halfway'' tried to accomplish the prior post-work Sunday (which in this particular instance involved traveling down the length of only one specific stretch of road which I'm required to access in order to get to the jobsite), but which resulted into something completely unusable, due to condensation build-up inside the ''waterproof''' case (as I was attempting to record in the [albeit light] rain), and because of the off-tilt view of the camera's line of sight. This latest attempt was thwarted however as a because of a relatively minor bumping of the camera housing as I was retrieving my helmet from my underseat compartment that resulted in its detachment. I was most fortunate that I'd encountered no issues of any kind on my trek back to the apartment.
''Weekend In Review''
July 10 - 13, 2023 (Monday - Thursday)
Re-configured and attached, and test-ran, the replacement camera mount on my motorcycle helmet early Wednesday Evening (Jul. 12), to get it established and ready to employ ahead of my eye surgery visit the following morning -- attaching the base of, and exchanging some parts with, the ''Wolfang'' specific accessories, to test how much better (if so) it'll hold-up as compared to the complete shit of the ''Akaso'' mounting items... and I got the impression that this switch-out adhesive was going to be a much better improvement.
Prior to heading out for the brief road test (which constituted only a couple of laps around the main block and through the alley) I uprooted the corpse of my cucumber plant which had been savagely attacked by some unseen something for about the past week and which fell into a completely yellowed vine state with leaves completely ravaged leaving behind blackened crumpled-up ''skeletons'' that looked like webbing (I would later try to search for an explanation, but nothing I was able to pull up on the topic matched anything I was observing with my situation).
Prior to getting my eyeball zapped early Thursday Morning (Jul. 13), I found that I could no longer fit in my ''Jordache'' pants which I've held onto since forever, as my waistline had expanded farther than I'd assumed (let alone even thought possible, given my ''history'').
On the way back from surgery, my eye was in enough discomfort that I'd decided to forego any grocery shopping in the area that I'd initially planned on.
''Week in Review''
July 14 - 16, 2023 (Friday - Sunday)
After my return from work Saturday (Jul. 15), I decided to make a ''To Hell With It'' decision regarding my visit to the Vietnamese Pho restaurant just outside of the Downtown area, despite knowing not to expect any ''Summer Rolls,'' only to discover after entering the establishment that they did indeed have ''Summer Rolls''... which I never would've learned otherwise, as what I've always known as ''Summer'' Rolls back Home in Hawaii, these folks refer to as ''Spring'' Rolls -- and what everybody knows as ''Spring Rolls,'' they call them, ''EGG'' Rolls! Anyway, a 2-piece order of those and a carryout container of Pho ended-up costing me over TWENTY-ONE phreaking dollars!!! ($21) ~ Surprisingly, though, it was enough to break-up into two separate batches, one of which I'd set aside for my non-existent ''Lunch Break'' at work the following day.
Took something of a chance on Sunday (Jul. 16), by recording my commute to the jobsite using the file corruption-prone ''Akaso'' camera: it all went surprisingly well, though there was an initial scare of not being able to locate any of the recorded media when cycling through the camera's direct access controls, but finally managing to uncover and transfer them via wire connection to my laptop.
On trip back, I continued on to ''Walmart'' (US-19@Ridge) for my typical ''Sweet-&-Sour'' and ''Fajita'' fresh produce items, then after dropping those off at the apartment, went back out to ''Dixie'' to see what they had going on... and for the first time ever since my being in this Town, I walked right back out, not even venturing any farther than the entrance lobby, when I found absolutely nothing of interest in their Weekly Flier.
I'd intended on continuing on from there to ''Publix,'' but the dark looming heavy clouds just a short distance over to the East had deceivingly convinced me to click into ''Paranoia Mode'' and caused me to decided to postpone that shopping trip until the following morning.
''Weekend in Review''
July 21 - 23, 2023 (Friday-Sunday)
My ''natural'' molar in the upper rear of the left side of my face began announcing Friday (Jul. 21) with persistent pain that I've been less than diligent in maintaining my oral health, reminding me why I'd undergone all of those root canal procedures in the first place.
I heard something fall to the floor later in the night. Brushing off any concern until a later toilet visit, I learned that the new camera mounting assembly fell completely off -- no ''tugging'' at it, no ''bumping'' into anything, no ''buffeting'' against the wind... just plain dropping off by itself, unaided! (This set-up remaining secure slightly less than a week SHORTER than the first assembly using the mounting adhesive provided in the ''Akaso'' kit, which itself lasted barely two weeks.)
Thus, I was more or less forced to correct the problem immediately, as it seemed like a set-up to get me to procrastinate in addressing the incident up until the time for me to go through my normal routine ''Outside Job'' preparations... having me to resort yet again to initiating the ''Krazy Glue Protocol.'' While engaging in this ''repair'' process, I'd inadvertently drenched my hands in a large amount of the cyanoacrylate fluid, and in an experimental spark (of later proven genius) I coated the affected areas with sodium bicarbonate and discovered, as I'd hoped, that the ''hardening'' process that results when the pair of substances interact together would result in relatively easily ''peelable'' scab-like scales.
It would not be until after I'd arrived at the jobsite Saturday (Jul. 22) that I'd discover that the helmet camera had not recorded anything at all during the entire trip -- although one might suggest that this had already been foretold, as there is/are a/some apparent physical issue(s) tied with 128GB memory cards I'd purchased, whereby they are refusing to be seated properly inside the housing slots, resulting in the units ''sticking out'' and needing to be ''pried-out'' when their removal is desired... all despite the fact that these units and the smaller capacity units appear to be to dimensionally 100% identical in every way!
Returned from work Sunday (Jul. 23) to an unknown car hogging-up the parking space where I keep my motorcycle chained: no idea if it belongs to, or is associated with, anyone here in the housing block, but it's the only vehicle to ever occupy anywhere in those spaces since I can't even remember when, and the thing looked like a patchwork beater. Of course, acting out in my typical passive-aggressive manner, I parked according to my ''normal'' routine, refusing to give any ''accommodating space'' to the passenger side of the vehicle.
The Internet was also acting like it was down, so rather than continuing to waste any time with it, I shut it off and decided to sleep off my already tired state, not rousing again until it was close to my eye drops regimen.
''Weekend In Review''
July 28 - 30, 2023 (Friday-Sunday)
Finally placed my long overdue call to the ''IRS'' Friday (Jul. 28) to dispute the additional $100 they ''claim'' that I still owe. (I'd actually attempted the call a couple of days earlier, but broke the connection while I was still waiting on hold because the batter charge was near dead.)
During the nearly 2.5-hour call, being shuffled between three different representatives, every single one of them kept trying to dismiss my information I'd submitted by mail-- along with my payment voucher and personal check --by endlessly appealing to what they had in their ''electronic'' records, as ignoring all of my statements about the ''paper'' forms I'd submitted and the information of which I was continuously reciting from as though they didn't exist or were even relevant at all. In the end, I was told that I could receive printed copies of what they were reading from in their ''electronic'' records so that I could match theirs and mine against each other.
Uprooted the plants that had died on me (possibly due to the oppressive heat?) after returning from work Sunday (Jul. 30). Overwhelmingly affected were those plants that were closest to my garden fence along the walkway -- virtually all of the bean plants, the stronger of the two pepper plants, which had actually started to bud earlier, and (I can't remember for certain without going back outside to check) one of the tomato plants(?) ~ while ironically, it was the okra (which I've never had any success with in past attempts, and which I was certain would similarly meet with an early fate this time around) and the Japanese eggplant that were the most hearty (perhaps because of being partially shrouded from the direct sunlight on account of the fig trees?)
I also attempted to burn a DVD movie of a downloaded video file of ''THE FLASH'' 2023 movie which I'd ran through the editing software periodically throughout the week in order to scrub it of all (or as many as I reasonably could) of the cringey mood- & tone-altering slapstick ''MCU-imitating'' gag-reflex inducing [quote] jokes & humor [unquote], as this was the only way I could ever envision adding it to my personal movie library, as the jokey silliness throughout was just so gut-wrenchingly awful that it was sufficient to decidedly prevent me from purchasing an ''Official'' copy for my collection, let alone actually paying any money for it! The burn result was something of pitiful piss-poor quality with distorted frame dimensions, leaving me to speculate on how next to attempt such a burn to disc.
''Weekend In Review''
July 31 - August 6, 2023 (Monday-Sunday)
Finally pushed to my patience limits regarding the glitches and limitations of the laptop, I completed a full re-installation of my ''Windows 7'' operating system on Monday (Jul. 31), going into it with the belief that I'd be able to regain full function of all of its features it I installed drivers downloaded from the official ''HP'' website... but after several nights of installing via thumb-drive I was still unable to access the Internet: similarly, I was still incapable of successfully launching ''Audacity'' after re-installing it at the worksite Saturday (Aug. 5), although the earlier issues I'd had with multimedia playback cleared-up this time around, and I was also working with the benefit of having been able to ''authenticate'' the OS installation as I apparently did not require an Internet connection in order to enter & verify the ''Activation Code.''
Retrieved my mail en route to work Saturday, and found the ''IRS's-preferred'' paperwork... and already it looked like a huge mess.
Got caught in an unexpected rain storm on the way back from work Sunday (Aug. 6), where I had to pull off of the main road and struggled to switch-out the helmet camera with the one contained in the so-called ''waterproof'' case, only to learn after arriving back to the apartment that the enclosed layered lens window gets condensation accumulation that cannot be wiped away.
''Full Week In Review''
August 7 - 13, 2023 (Monday-Sunday)
Snapped a series of ''fresh out of the shower'' pictures on Monday (Aug. 7), with the determination of finally re-starting my ''Dating-Apps'' journey, this time labeling myself as a ''Male Lesbian'' -- or as the vernacular seems to indicate/suggest: a ''Transfeminine Male'' ...but one who claims to self-''identify'' as a ''Lesbian Woman'' regardless. I mean, if my past experiences with online matchmaking services resulted in women I'd tried to connect with expressing angry indignation that they were not interested in ''Women,'' because that was their immediate assumption from just looking at a posted photograph and (obviously) not bothering to read the stinking personal profile, then why not try going that route if it might mean that I'll have a better chance of getting some Pussy on my breath?
I began the process the following day (Tue., Aug. 8), with an attempt to register with an app called, ''Feeld,'' which supposedly had the hyped distinction of being geared primarily, or at least extremely inviting, toward ''Alternative'' lifestyles/expressiveness... but I kept getting prevented from being allowed to continue beyond the app's second introduction page in order to begin the registration process. I suspected that this lock out might've been due to the fact that I'd had ''Google Play Store'' disabled, so I put trying to register with ''Feeld'' on pause and proceeded to try registering with ''Hinge,'' and was thus able to confirm that my refusal to keep the ''Play Store'' feature open & running in the background was precisely the reason why ''Feeld'' was refusing me access onto their platform -- which I responded to by leaving a very scathing ''review'' of their app in the ''Play Store'' forums.
I followed-up on ''Hinge'' later in the post-Midnight hours of Wednesday (Aug. 9) by registering on ''Bumble''; then later that same evening established a ''Tinder'' account.
I rounded out the set on Thursday (Aug. 10) with a registered account on ''OK Cupid,'' which would not be the first app I'd be getting any ''matches'' on, but would become the one through which I'd engaged in an actual conversation -- with a (claimed) 38-year-old Lesbian Woman, Tampa resident, on Friday (Aug. 11), who identified herself in her profile as, ''Ashley.''
During this whole process, I'd hit with a window on ''Tinder's'' site when I tried using their app the next day after registering with them saying that my account had been ''Permanently Banned.'' In circumventive investigative mode I'd somehow managed to get redirected to a page on their site that explained if I'd wanted to proceed I'd have to ''verify'' the account -- in essence, forcing me to make and submit those stupidiotic ugly-ass ''face gesture'' poses, for their ''verification'' process, which is what I suspect was the whole trick behind that shut-out scare tactic in the first place, as there was genuinely nothing that I'd done with my profile that would've legitimized its practically instantaneous and indefinite lock-out.
I had a situation in my bathroom Wednesday where I was led to believe that my toilet was leaking at the base: the next day however I was able to determine with certainty that the flooded floor had been the result of my having not been too careful with the hand shower spray nozzle.
Wednesday was also when I'd finally for the first time, and very likely never again, visiting ''Leaning Tower of Pizza,'' still searching for that Best-of-the-Best ''New York Style'' cheese pizza, and came away not impressed -- mainly it was the dough base (and it's ''undercooked'' state, for my tastes) that was the primary negative.
Returned home from work Saturday (Aug. 12) to the presence of a wasp nest that had been built above my air conditioner window: I have ambivalent feelings about how, or even if, to respond to its being there -- I figure that as long as it's not within anybody's path of foot traffic, I'm rather indifferent about it.
I was able to confirm Sunday (Aug. 13) what I'd experienced at work the previous day, that LTS Internet access on my phone was disrupted, and I could not rectify the problem on my own, believing it had to do with the phone itself -- but when I stopped into the first Walmart en route back to the apartment to request the assistance of the ''Tracfone'' Service Rep., I was told that they didn't/wouldn't have a Rep there for some time, but the young man who'd informed me of this also relayed to me that the difficulties I'd been having with my phone was a known issue that was affecting pretty much all of the ''Pre-Paid'' variety of phones at the moment, and was related to some sort of ''Networking'' problems that were affecting only these phones in particular: thus, according to him, it is essentially a ''waiting game'' until things clear-up.
''Full Week In Review''
August 14 - 20, 2023 (Monday - Sunday)
Lost track of the Date Wednesday (Aug. 16), when I went online to pay off my credit card bills and learned that I'd actually engaged with them a day late, which thus resulted in ''Chase'' assessing a $30 late charge against me, which I'd chosen to absorb (as it was a likely unavoidable ''Pay for your Learning'' experience after having requested leniencies on earlier occasions) -- I was surprised to see that ''Synchrony'' (Sam's Club) had not assessed a late penalty against me.
I received a text from ''Mimi'' Thursday Evening (Aug. 17), saying she was currently at one of our Downtown establishments with a friend of hers and invited me to join them; but I was in such a miserable emotional state-- and my surroundings in such a miserable disorganized and mal-olfactorical state --that I could not in any good conscious or comfort whatsoever chance any potential, though unlikely, spontaneous apartment visitations.
Through Friday, into Early Saturday Morning (Aug. 18-19) I worked on producing a ''Lesbian Pussy-Eating'' compilation video as a back-up ''Added Bonus'' interest inspiration to have on hand should it ever come to pass that I'm actually successful in enticing a woman from my Dating App exploits to take my ''Girl-Loving-Girl in a Man's Body'' bait... which (not unexpectedly) has not been going very well.
Didn't try to test the Internet Access situation on my phone again until Saturday, again while I was at the worksite, and to no surprise found the service was still down, causing me to once again suspect that this may more than likely be a phone-related disruption.
I went to the ''Burger King'' on ''Moog Road'' (with its ugly redesign and locked now ''single toilet'' restrooms) after work, whereupon I discovered that I'd apparently dropped my ''Sam's Club'' credit card at the gas pump where I'd stopped to fill-up en route just fifteen minutes earlier: I deactivated the card while in line waiting on my meal order, then after eating I rode back out to and arrived back at Convenience Store after about an hour of time had passed, first searching the grounds where I'd strongly suspected I'd dropped it, then upon not finding it asking the clerks inside who did have it turned into them by someone -- it was only after I'd returned to the apartment to check on the website for any additional suspicious activity on the card during any of the time that it was lost that I'd discovered that Synchrony had indeed assessed a late payment penalty against me (some $7), which they had to have tacked on a day or few later after I'd gone online to pay the outstanding balance.
Stopping to check my Post Office Box en route back to the apartment I saw that I'd received some additional documentation from ''IRS'' in the form of some printout pages, which I was not informed that I'd be receiving, thus making my week-long procrastination re: discussing the completed form they'd sent me seem more like a smart move in retrospect.
Later in the Evening, the side of my face began burning & itching again: I still had a decent amount of the prescribed pills for it left over, but I could not locate the expiration date on them. I've actually been worried for about the past week that I might experience another outbreak.
I had intended on calling ''Tracfone'' after the Weekend, but later in the Evening I'd decided to conduct an Internet search regarding the non-connectivity issue, in the belief that there would be some sort of news or announcement explaining & updating us on the issue. Instead, I had my attention diverted with the highlighting of several tutorial videos that claimed to offer troubleshooting methods for correcting the loss of LTS Internet access. I was reluctant to give any of these videos a viewing, because I'd been so thoroughly disappointed with ineffective results on so many other occasions whenever I've had any kind of issues with anything related to electronics malfunctions. But in a little less than six or seven minutes of watching the first video I'd selected for viewing, that uploader and his tutorial wound-up saving me a potential two-or-more hours of wasted time and phone minutes (both=''money'') being spent trying to get a Tracfone Customer Service ''technician'' to help me figure it all out, and where I quite likely still would not have received any sort of an effective solution to the problem -- similar to the previous time I'd had a similar problem with my ''LG'' device. In the end, all it turned out to be was that ''some-'' how for ''some'' inexplicable reason my ''APN'' connection had been inadvertently switched ''off'' -- perhaps this was the result of an ''apps update'' or, perhaps, this was linked to an (or ''the'' supposed) actual ''Verizon Network'' issue that could've/might've been responsible for knocking the connection out.
''Full Week in Review''
August 20 - 27, 2023 (Monday-Sunday)
Received a text from my Mother Monday (Aug. 20), informing me that she'd re-activated her ''Sam's Club'' membership, but she made no mention of whether it was still a ''Plus'' membership of if she'd taken my earlier advice prior to allowing it to expire the first time and had reactivated it with a ''downgraded'' membership.
Late in the evening Wednesday (Aug. 21), while the battery was running on fumes, I tried to repair a phone glitch that was interfering with my ability to fully navigate the ''Hinge'' dating app by again resorting to another of those questionably effective ''tutorial videos,'' which in this instance resulted in knocking out my apps' personalized preference & notification settings, and assigned text ringtones -- I had to continue/resume with resetting those and other phone/apps preferences well into Thursday Night (Aug. 24).
Discovered Friday Night (Aug. 25) that someone had caused the garden hose nozzle to housing to become completely detached, leading me to believe that it had been irreparably broken; I did not at the time try to determine if the nozzle I'd provided was still anywhere in the vicinity.
Situations at work had so stressed me out on Saturday (Aug. 26) that it had reached a point to where I was finding myself venting my frustrations out-- both passively and directly --on the people I'm forced to interact with on the job.
I located my hose nozzle after returning from work and realized that re-attaching it would be a simple fix, so I repaired it.
''Full Week In Review''
August 28, 2023 (Monday)
Ants had been attacking me in my bed for the past week, and I was having the hellishest of time trying to get a lock on where they were coming in from, until after I'd sent off a very late-early text to ''Mimi'' (like around a quarter 'til 02:00), inviting her over for a Pussy-Eating session during ''Hell Week'' (Tropical Storm ''Idalia''), and decided to reluctantly get onto the computer that a number of them began collectively attacking my scrotum, which then gave me the opportunity to draw more of them out with the fipronil gel in order to pinpoint where they've been keeping themselves holed-up.

Kept my ophthalmology appointment this morning -- punk'd by a threat of a rain storm that never materialized throughout the entirety of the day. What I'd believed would've just been a follow-up check of my prior visit resulted in an impromptu second lasering on my left eye in an attempt to try to reduce the pressure down even further. Even after this procedure, the Doctor has instructed me to continue using the Latanoprost drops until my next scheduled visit in five weeks.
I'd considered continuing on to ''Sam's Club,'' since I'd checked my membership status and ''unfroze'' my card (believing that enough time had passed in case anyone might've copied the card number to try using surreptitiously); instead, I stopped into the local ''Publix'' and found a few items to stock-up on.
I picked the sole eggplant that had been produced in my garden (the only thing edible to have grown apart from the occasional sporadic fig from either tree), as the plant itself was now in the process of withering away.
I also took a few more ''fake titty'' pics to post to my dating/matching accounts.
