Diary - Jan 03 to Jan 09 2026

Sat Jan 03 2026

Sleep 0245 to 1200, 1 hour up around 0600 (8-1/4 hours)

  • Finally Underworld 5-movie bundle on sale in Apple Store. $25 which is lower than last year's $30.

Sun Jan 04 2026

Sleep 0200 to 0530, 0630 to 1030 (7-1/2 hours)

  • Last night Dave S was having trouble with his controller. We played a bit of MW5, DDO was pretty useless, played half a Gloomhaven scenario. He is rather useless as a keyboard/mouse player.

Mon Jan 05 2026

Sleep 0045 to 0800, 30m nap (7-3/4 hours)

  • Briefly looked for an iPad text editor. Way too many choices. Too bad there is no version of BBEdit for iOS/iPad. Guess I'll stick with using Apple Pages.

Tue Jan 06 2026

Sleep 0200 to 0530, 0715 to 1115 (7-1/2 hours)

  • I've been sleeping on the couch in case mom needs to get out of the couch in the middle of the night. Was ok for a week or two but now my back is killing me. Switched to a mattress on the rug but was not a great idea. For some reason my right leg is sore when I wake up, more like a cramp or maybe a nerve. Right leg since I sleep on my left side. Sleeping on my right side is painful. I guess tonight I'll just sleep on a regular bed. Mom says she is fine until Dad wakes up about 0600.

Wed Jan 07 2026

Sleep 0300 to 1115 (8-1/4 hours)

  • PG&E Bill for Nov 26 to Dec 28 is only about 80% of previous bill even though I was mostly absent and only home about one week.
  • U-Haul seems to be going to emailed code logins. Although you can your password I didn't find where I could change my password.
  • Received a Kaiser email about getting a prostate cancer screening. If I do it first step is a PSA test which is a blood test. Mostly reliable indicator but not for sure. Kaiser also has a page with more information that makes prostate cancer not seem that bad as 1 in 8 men get it but it's seldom aggressive cancer. I'm encouraged enough to at least do the PSA test after I'm living back in San Mateo.
  • If you look in IRS web site, https://www.annualcreditreport.com is the official place to get your free credit reports (you can go to each credit bureau separately but they make it hidden/hard and provide you less info). This time I got one credit report and will do the other two in four month intervals so that it's easier to monitor for sudden changes.

Thu Jan 08 2026

Sleep 0230 to 1030 (8 hours)

  • Went to kp.org to pay my monthly premium. The view bill, pay now, automatic payment buttons don't do anything (tried it in Chrome even). Apparently you can go to kp.prg/payonline which goes to a different service provider to either login or do actual payments. You have to register but to do that you need info from your bill and since I don't have a bill I can't sign up. So I guess they haven't generated a bill yet.

Fri Jan 09 2026

Sleep 0300 to 1130 (8-1/2 hours)

  • Went home today as mom and dad didn't want me to drive late.
