A hot day - 90s. I may start taking computer classes at a center I am going to attend during the week. They may eventually be able to help me get into classes at night at a nearby university in time. Dieting going better - had a small amount of cake and ice cream at the center today for the director's birthday today. Got new eyeglasses for reading mainly today, bifocals. They are very nice and LOOK expensive anyway...
