8:30 AM - I woke up. I turned on the computer. I looked at some videos on YouTube. I noticed I am #1 on two lists. This is my first time to be #1 on TWO LISTS! The video is This Car Is Awesome!

#1 - Most Discussed (Today) - Autos & Vehicles - UK

#1 - Top Rated (Today) - Autos & Vehicles - UK

I just made a video about that! Yes, folks! Hey, it was a milestone for me on YouTube!

this car is awesome

I looked at HP 750GB Personal Media Drive. I still want to get that. I called Brian on his cell phone. There was no answer. He must be in bed. I ordered the drive, but I didn’t push submit yet. I want Brian’s feedback before I do. I called Brian again. Brian was at work. He thought it is great for me. He wanted to product code. I txt him the code. I am waiting to hear back from him. Miguel woke up after 10:15 AM. Miguel cleaned the restroom.

11:30 AM - We watched Three’s Company. I always love that show since I was a lad. We watched the whole season; there were six episodes. Miguel fell asleep during the last one. I watched more videos.

I tried to find the mouse hole in the bathroom. I removed the containers from the storage area. There was no mouse hole at all. Miguel cleaned the kitchen. He cleaned under the sink too. There was a hole. He figured the mouse could have come from that hole. He set the glue trap by the hole.

After 3 PM - Brian finally called me back. He said that HP 750GB Personal Media Drive is the big one. I told him that HP wanted $303.09. He mentioned that I should go to Shopzilla for a cheaper price. J&R have them for $239.99. That is a great price for me. I ordered it from J&R. I saved about $40. I don’t think I will order from the main site any more. Most times, the main site will sell their stuff at the regular price.

I explained to Brian that I have over 14 Scandisk Memory Sticks; that is way too many! The Media Drive is perfect for me. I will only put my videos on the drive. I will use the scandisk for my pictures and music.

Miguel cooked some chicken legs and pork chops. He thought the pork chops was chicken. Oops, his mistake. He didn’t check it quite well. He fixed a salad too. Like always, the supper was delicious. We watched Good Times, The First Season on DVD.

Miguel washed the dishes. Most times, he does it. I don’t complain at all. He is very helpful around the apartment. He basically do everything. He put the chicken legs in the plastic bag. I made some room for him. I put up the chicken in the freezer.

That was our day. We supposed to look at some rugs at Marshalls. We didn’t want to. It was past 1 PM. We just stayed home for the day.

9 AM - I woke up. I used the restroom. I turned on the TV for I Love Lucy. I went online. Miguel soon woke up. He mentioned the mouse wasn’t caught. Maybe, it wasn’t a mouse. He cooked some eggs. He ate some cereal.

In the afternoon, we watched the first four episodes of Survivor: Borneo. We haven’t watch that season since the summer of 2000.

5 PM - We got dressed again, Miguel want to use the small cart for the milk and the water. Instead, I convinced him that we should go to Vons. I know we will buy more food. We walked to Vons. Miguel carried the cart with him. We got the water first, then shopped for the food.

Two times, Miguel stole someone’s cart for their food. I can’t believe it at all. He reminded of Carrie in that Thanksgiving episode of King Of Queens. Carrie asked this lady what foods she cook for thanksgiving. The lady refused because Carrie took her parking spot earlier. Carrie followed her around the store and get the same food. She missed something from the shelf. The lady was busy looking at a food, then Carrie stole her cart. That episode was pretty funny. We saw it yesterday.

Miguel checked the receipt outside. Something wasn’t right about the wieners. He took them back in Vons. I waited at the table. Miguel came back with some change. Those hot dogs wasn’t on sale. He got over $5 back. We were on the way home.

I mentioned we still need to get his clothes from the dry cleaners. We don’t know what time it was. I looked on the receipt at the corner. We had 15 minutes left. They close at 7 PM. We split up. I stayed on my side; Miguel crossed the street. We met up later at the corner. It took him a while. He left a shirt behind. They missed some spots on the shirt; he won’t have to pay for it.

We went home. I put up the food. Miguel cooked some pasta. We watched Keeping Up Appearances. We watched more TV shows. I went online and do today’s diary entry, then it is off to bed. That was our day.

Good night!

This morning, we washed three loads of clothes. The lady I saw on the bus with Ken finished a load. She put it in the dryer. I put the clothes in the washing machine. I was done by 2:30 PM. Miguel folded the clothes. Miguel bake a yellow cake.

After 3:30 PM - We got dressed. We walked to the bus stop. We got on bus 4 to .99¢ only store, near Sunset and Santa Monica. We brought some food and stuff for the kitchen. It was $37.37. Miguel gave me $15. I gave him back $5. We were there about an hour or two. We didn’t catch bus 2; it was too crowded. We caught bus 4. We stood on the bus. We got off the bus.

We went home. Miguel cooked supper like always. It was a very short day for us.

11:30 PM - Apparently, we may have another mouse. We kept on hearing noises over a month. Tonight, we heard a macaroni fell to the ground. Miguel checked for the mouse. There was no sign of the mouse. Miguel almost gave up. I got on my knees, not for that, guys! LOL. I found it on the ground. I showed it to him, not that again, guys! We removed the pasta and put it on the counter. Miguel found a open bag of macaroni. I thought we have another mouse in the place.

When Miguel took a shower earlier tonight, I heard the noises from the same spot. I gave Miguel the glue traps. He put one by the open macaroni bag and the other one by the door inside the bathroom. Now, the waiting game begun.
