Calendar of events 2025

Last updated: 10 May 2025.
Here is where I post events I've attended and/or events I plan on attending in the future.
It's highly likely that I spent the other days that are not accounted for below at my residence located at 715 Dover Ct., Wallingford, PA, 19086 with my mother, father, husband and/or younger brother Eric. Rarely do I leave my residence without an escort. If I do leave my residence without an escort it's only to walk our dogs around the neighborhood for a little bit.

11 May 2025. ALL DAY.	Mother's day.		Each year on this day, I buy some nice fake nails and offer to give my mother a manicure and a pedicure. This year, I sent her a gigantic Mother’s Day card in the mail. I thought she’d like that since I’ve never done anything like that for her before. I mailed it on the 2nd of May. I hope it comes in time. We’ll see what happens…
10 May.2025.Around 2:00AM.	I woke up with a new kind of sensation in my upper and lower jaw.	n/a.	If I had to describe it, I’d say it’s like a very slow throbbing. Minimal pain, but the sensation kept me up for the rest of the morning. I’ve had a dull pain in my cheek and on the right side of my bottom jaw for awhile, but this is something I’d say is new. I feel like this appointment in Philadelphia cannot come fast enough.
9 May 2025.11:10AM.	I got a call from the Temple dental phone number today.	+1 (215) 707-2900	I answered the phone expecting to be greeted by a human being. Instead, a pre-recorded voice started talking. The automated message said to press 1 to confirm my appointment for the 12th of this month @ 1:30PM, which I did. There was some talk about COVID-19 precautions, too. The thing(s) that stuck out to me were the automated message telling me to come alone, and to wear a protective mask. I felt a bit discouraged when I heard the automated message say, “Come alone.” I am quite apprehensive about all of this considering what I’ve already been through behind a routine cleaning and the filling of a few micro-cavities. I am going to attend this appointment alone. Albeit with a cautious optimism. I think I’m going to bring a printout of all of these entries I’ve been writing throughout this process. I feel like that might make me feel better about all of this.
6 May 2025. 10:00AM.	Tuesday clean up crew.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.
5 May 2025. Around 11:11AM.	I was able to make a much earlier appointment with Temple dental today.	n/a.	I was so relieved when the woman that answered the phone told me she could schedule me for the 13th of this month instead of August. She told me the next opening was in August, but when I told her I am having quite a bit of pain and discomfort she told me she could schedule me for a much earlier appointment. I made it clear to her that the teeth that are bothering me are not the teeth the dentist circled on the referral. She asked if I could go back to the office that gave me said referral to see if they could give me a referral that had the correct teeth identified. I let her know that I would love to do that, but I’ve already made it clear which teeth are bothering me to the dentist that referred me and he still chose to misidentify the teeth I need evaluated on 2 referrals already. Basically, I told her I could try to get the dentist to correct the referral, but I couldn’t promise anything. I told her I wanted to make it very clear which teeth I need evaluated, and would do so when I come into the office in Philadelphia. It sounded to me like that would be acceptable. She did not ask if I could return to the office in Brookhaven to get a corrected referral, again. Rather, she told me to bring that referral into the office in Philadelphia, and scheduled my appointment for 1:30 in the afternoon on the 13th of this month. I gave her all of my pertinent info: Name, birthday, address, insurance info, ect.. I am feeling very hopeful again. I sure hope insurance covers all of this. I do not have the $$ to pay for any costly procedures that I might have to undergo in order to fix my teeth. If it does come to that, I may have to have them extracted after all. II’m going to try not to worry about any of that. I am going to see what this endodontist has to say about things first. I wonder if it would be helpful if I went to the office in Brookhaven and asked them for a copy of my medical records. Maybe this office in Philadelphia might want to see them. Who knows? My medical records might help the office in Philadelphia better diagnose and treat me better. Then I figured this other office probably has protocols that dictate they request my medical records be transferred over to them. I’ll try to remember to ask. I think I’m going to me overcome with a great deal of worry and what not. When I got off the phone with her, I debated as to whether or not I should take a red pen and just circle the correct teeth on the referral from Brookhaven Family Dentistry, but I decided against it. If all of this has to be looked into for any reason I have this timeline and these entries for reference.
4 May 2025.Around 1:00PM.	Eric contacted me and made it out to seem like he had been discharged, but couldn’t leave the hospital until I brought him a change of clothes so that I would bring him the things he needed in order to leave.	Riddle Memorial Hospital. Room #4606.1068 W Baltimore Pike. Media, PA 19063.	It was the weirdest thing. I got 2 or 3 calls in a row and my caller id read, “NO CALLER ID.” I picked up the phone and it was my brother Eric asking me where I was and if I was bringing him his clothes because they weren’t going to let him go until he had clothes to wear. How Eric was making it so his telephone # read “NO CALLER ID” instead of the -0591 number I have saved in my telephone contact list for him is a mystery to me. Rich took me and the dogs up to Riddle after he and I handed out some food and water to the homeless people we’ve come to know in Chester, PA. I signed in at the front desk, and walked Eric’s clothes up to his room. I was surprised to be greeted by what looked like 3 security guards standing at the entrance of Eric’s hospital room door. I walked into the room and placed the clothes and shoes on the floor at the foot of the bed. I looked at the nurse that was on duty and the look on her face said it all to me. The nurse on duty told me that Eric had not been discharged, but rather ripped out his I.V.’s and was attempting to leave against medical advice. The nurse asked me if Eric had told me he was being discharged to which I nodded indicating that he did indeed deceive me. The nurse on duty went on to tell me (in so many words) that Eric was not in his right mind to make decisions about his health or well-being, and hospital protocol dictates he be held there until a psychiatrist evaluates him and judges whether or not he is competent enough to decide to leave. That explained the presence of the 3 security guards, I think. I was very sad to hear that Eric had lied to me in order to trick me into bringing him clothes and shoes to wear. I did not want to be an accessory to Eric trying to leave the hospital against medial advice. Especially since the nurse had told him he still has a really bad infection and needs more rounds of antibiotics. The nurse looked very annoyed. I felt so bad for him, and for the people trying to care for Eric. I saw a little t.v. sitting in front of Eric. The nurse let me know that the psychiatrist was going to be interviewing Eric through the t.v. monitor in front of him. The nurse asked if I wanted to say anything to the psychiatrist. I let the nurse know that I do not have power of attorney, or any legal control over decisions regarding my brother’s life. Also, I let her know that I had no idea why she would be asking me if I wanted to talk to this psychiatrist because I don’t know what I’d even say to this person. Next, I let the nurse know I did not drive myself here. I excused myself and said something like, “I’m sure you all have protocols for situations like this. I am going to get out of everyone’s way while you follow those protocols. If you’d like to let me know how everything shakes out that would be much appreciated.” I wrote my name, relation to the patient, and my cellular telephone # in the designated square on the dry erase patient board hanging on the wall in Eric’s hospital room, and left the hospital through the main entrance. I let Rich know we could leave and go back home. I decided right then and there I wouldn’t be answering my telephone if Eric called it. Rather, I was going to let our parents know that Rich and I were no longer involving ourselves in this situation. It was my hope that if I didn’t assist Eric is getting a ride from the hospital it might prompt him to just stay and continue with his treatment. When I got home I had a thought. Maybe I should have handed the bag of clothes and shoes to the nurse that told me what was going on and left the decision to give possession of the clothes to Eric up to her. By then, it was too late. Rich and I let my mom and dad know what was really going on with Eric. Our household began receiving call after call, and text after text from Eric. Probably requesting a ride home, but I don’t know. I just feel so bad for him. I spent a good chunk of time in the last couple days holding his hand, putting cool rags on his head and neck, literally getting puked on by him while holding the puke bag(s) and bucket(s) in front of his face so he didn’t get it all over himself, pouring water into his mouth because he was shaking so badly he couldn’t hold the cup(s) himself, and he chose to go right back to the lifestyle that put him there 48 hours prior. I thought my being there to literally hold his hand and help him through all of this would be enough for him to decide to enroll in an in-patient program. I said to him many times that it was up to him as to whether or not this would be the last time he had to go through this horrible pain and suffering. I told him a lot of things I know he didn’t take into consideration. Even so, I can’t help but hold out hope that he’ll get himself the help he needs. I was there for him these past few days because I love him and I want him to get himself the help he needs.
4 May 2025.10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I agreed to assist the Pastor’s parents in handing out lunches this afternoon. She sent me an email asking if I could help her parents today because she wasn’t going to be there. How could I say, “No?”
3 May 2025. 4:00PM.	Church council fellowship, hosted at the Troyan’s house.	Folsom, PA 19033	Rumor has it someone might bring a margarita machine. I haven’t seen one of those since I worked at the Applebees in Corpus Christ, Texas. That was almost 10 years ago! Wow. I don’t think I’ll be partaking, but I am looking forward to getting to know my fellow church council members better. We all sat out in the Troyan’s backyard and talked about all manner of things. I enjoyed one of the mocktails Bev brought, and 1 of the non-alcoholic Coors beers I found in one of the beer coolers. The rain held out just long enough for everyone to enjoy the weather, eat dinner, and watch some birds eating out the the bird feeders in their backyard. We all went inside, enjoyed some dessert and watch the tail end of the Phillies game. The rain started getting a little heavy, and Rich got a fire call. Rich decided he’d like to be closer to home in case more fire calls rolled in, which is usually the case when it rains heavily. I had a good time. I was a bit exhausted because of what had been going on with my brother the last few days, but I didn’t want anyone there to know, so I tried my best to be chipper and happy. Whether or not it worked is anyone’s guess, lol. I had a good time with good people and I thank God for that.
3 May 2025. 1:00PM-3:35PM.	Even though Eric did not call me after I texted him to do so this morning, I chose to go visit him in the afternoon.	Riddle Memorial Hospital.Room #4606.1068 W Baltimore Pike. Media, PA 19063.	Rich and I signed in at the front entrance of the hospital. I looked at the picture on visitor’s sticker I was given. I wondered why they went through the trouble of taking my photo when the printer ink whited out my facial features. Then, I stuck the sticker on my shirt. Rich and I brought Eric some get well gifts today, too. We brought him a ballon that said, “FEEL BETTER” on it. It had a big shinning sun on it, too. I signed a nice get well card to go with the balloon. I topped it off with a small vase of faux flowers. I wanted Eric to feel special, and according to him, that’s exactly how he felt. After maybe an hour of listening to the music Eric was playing through his cellular telephone, I let him know I was stepping out for a few minutes. I felt like I had to. There was so much cursing in the lyrics I just needed a break, ya know? I told Eric I was going to take a lap for a few minutes, and I told him why. Eric said, “You don’t like it?” I said something like, “No Eric I don’t like hearing curse words. That’s why I stopped using curse words years ago. If I can help it, I shy away from hearing them like I’m doing now.” To be honest, I didn’t really understand why Eric said, “You don’t like it?” Eric already knows I do not like hearing people use curse words. Whether they be used in music lyrics, or casual conversation. Mainly because they’re disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. So hearing him say, “You don’t like it?” just seemed really odd to me. I only told him the reason I was taking a short walk so he didn’t think I was leaving for the day. When Rich and I left, Rich let me know how annoyed he was with Eric’s behavior. I understood where Rich was coming from. We had spent a few hours with Eric before our church council gathering, and all Eric did was play music really loud. Even after Rich and I told him we’d like to chat with him while we were there. I didn’t share Rich’s feelings on the matter, but I did respect his feelings. I left hoping Eric would agree to enter an in-patient program in the next day, or two.
3 May 2025.8:35AM.	I sent my brother Eric a text that said, “Call me”	n/a.	I figured Eric might be sleeping by now and I would rather have him getting the sleep he needs to aid in his recovery. If he calls me, great, I’ll hop on the bus and head on up there. If he doesn’t call me, I can safely assume he is resting and hope he calls me later on today when he wakes up. I was happy when the were able to get him upstairs into an actual hospital room around 5 last night. I felt very comfortable leaving him in the care of the staff there when I left last night. I didn’t sleep very well, but I expected as much with what’s going on with him at the moment. I do want to go visit him for a little while today. We’ll see what happens…
2 May 2025. 2:00PM-8:50PM.	I went to sit with my brother at the hospital as per his request.	Riddle Memorial Hospital Emergency Dept., room #16. 1068 W Baltimore Pike. Media, PA 19063.	I called Rich to let him know that Eric had called my mom to ask her to ask me if I would come sit with him. Why my brother did not just call me directly is anyone’s guess. I commented to my mother about how I watched him sleep the last time I sat in the hospital with him. Also, I commented that I’d look like a pretty awful person if I did not comply with the request. I’ll admit, saying that may have made it sound like I didn’t want to go. The truth is, I planned on hoping on the bus and heading up there just as soon as the clothes I hung out on the clothesline were finished drying regardless of whether or not Eric asked me (or asked our parents to ask me) if I would come sit with him. Even though he’s been a user for the last 20 years, I still love my brother very much. I hate to see him going through all of this. Anyone that has seen a loved one go through this would probably understand the heartache associated with wondering if this is it, or if this might finally be the thing that has their loved one finally say, “This is my rock bottom, I’m done.” It’s a teeter-totter of wanting to help this person you love vs. accepting the inevitable truth that there’s nothing you can do to help someone that is choosing to do this to themselves. Lord knows (and you, too) that I rode the rollercoaster of addiction and recovery for many, many, many years. I thank my lucky stars every single day I wake up now. I sincerely hope this is the thing that gets him to let go of all of this and seek treatment. Having my little brother back would be such a wonderful thing to me. As I went to leave and walk to the bus stop my mother stopped me and told me that Eric asked her to just please drive me up to the hospital. I did not want to take a ride from my mother because according to her, she did not sleep last night. I said to my mom, ‘Whatever you want to do.” I didn’t want someone that has been up for almost 24 hours straight driving me anywhere, but they’re both insisting I not hop on a SEPTA bus and take that to the hospital, and as the ever people pleasing person I am I didn’t want to rock the boat, so I agreed to take a ride from my mother. I thought it strange how adamant they are about me not taking public transportation to the hospital. What are they afraid of the video cameras on board?, lol. Oh well, here I go…
2 May. 2025.	I called Temple again to schedule that dental appointment.	n/a.	I waited 3 days for Brookhaven Family Dentistry to return my phone call, but they never did. I wonder why? I called the Endodontic department and told the woman that I had a referral that said ‘Endodontic’ on it, and another referral that said ‘Oral Surgeon’ on it. She told me I had to talk to the oral surgery dept., then transferred me. As the phone rang again I decided to hang up. Even though it is still unclear to me whether or not Dr. Mohammoudh wants me to see an oral surgeon or an endodontist it made sense for me to see the endodontist first. I mean, an endodontist tries to save the teeth, while an oral surgeon extracts them, right? I do remember Dr. Mohammoudh telling me he did not want to extract these teeth because they were still very good, and very strong teeth. When I called Temple’s Endodontic dept. Back I left a message telling the dept. I had an endodontic referral and asked them to call me back so I could schedule an appointment. I sure hope they still have that slot open for August. It stinks I cannot be seem earlier, but what are you going to do? I’ll call Temple’s endodontic dept. Back tomorrow and hopefully I can speak to someone. I’m rather preoccupied with my younger brother’s health and well-being rather than my own today.
28 Apr. 2025. 3:45PM-5:30PM.	Life Center Homeless Meal Prep.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd.,Wallingford, PA, 19086.
28 Apr. 2025. 11:45AM.	I called Temple dental school today as per Dr. Mohammadh’s advice, and spoke to a representative from the endodontic department.	n/a.	I decided to call Dr. Mohammadh’s office again after being told the next available appointment for Temple isn’t until the middle of August. I got the answering machine. I left Dr. Mohammadh’s message service a voicemail asking whether or not I should make the appointment at Temple, or if he would have me call another Endodontist office to see if I can get an earlier appointment. In the voicemail, I stated that I wouldn’t mind waiting until August if Dr. Mohammadh thinks Temple is the best place to handle my ongoing care. I am going to do whatever I’m told to do regarding this matter.
27 Apr. 2025.10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.
26 Apr. 2025. 2:00PM.	Walked around the Christiana Mall with Rich today.	132 Christiana Mall, Newark, DE 19702.	Rich was wondering how far away Christiana Mall was from his brother’s house after we pulled out of Brendan’s driveway. I looked it up and saw it was only 3 miles away. Rich and I decided to stop there and walk around the mall for an hour, or so. Holy cow that place is humongous! We stopped at a bookstore while we were there and I found 2 things: The complete first aid pocket guide, and a nice card I’m going to send to Brendan and Quinn congratulating them. When I got home I wrote in the card something like, “We’re so glad you two are going to be parents! We’d like to donate this $100.00 to your little one’s college fund.” I placed a $100 bill inside and Rich and I signed the card. Rich smudged some dirt from his hand on the inside of the card when he signed it. I found a sticker I had that said ‘OMG!’ in bright rainbow letters. I used that sticker to cover up the smudge. It looked like I just chose to add an extra decoration to the inside of the card which I thought was nice. I am going to drop it in a USPS mailbox after worship tomorrow.
26 Apr. 2025 11:45AM.	Rich and I went to his brother’s new house to cut the grass and see the place for the 1st time.	Newark, DE.	After we cut the grass, I handed Brendan the 2 boxes of photos I brought. 1 box had the photos of him growing up, and the other was a box full of photos of his mother, grandmother(s), grandfather(s), etc. We didn’t get to see Quinn because she was at work. I would have liked to see her while Rich and I were there today. We got a tour of the home, which was a very nice home. Brendan told us it used to be a daycare. I got to meet a couple of their dogs, too. To our surprise Brendan told Rich and I he’s going to be a father! I gave him a great big hug and congratulated him. I am so happy to hear they are going to be parents. Rich and I only stayed a couple hours because he had some chores to do and grocery shopping and what not. We said our goodbyes and expressed our wanting to make plans to come back and spend time with him and Quinn. I’d like to do that because I only met her once at a party and chatted with her for a couple minutes. I don’t think I even got her last name. I saw a photo on their refrigerator that was an invitation to a graduation party for a young woman with the last name ‘Walsh’ while Rich and I were at their home. If I had to guess what Quinn’s last name is, I’d guess it’s that.
25 Apr. 2025. ALL DAY.	My mother and father's 45th wedding anniversary.	715 Dover Court, Wallingford, PA, 19086.	It was such a shame to see that the card I mailed my parents for their anniversary didn’t arrive in time. I mailed it on the 19th of April. That prompted me to go ahead and mail my niece’s brother’s birthday card today. I want to make sure his birthday card and $50 birthday check arrive around the 10th of next month. I’d hate for that one to show up late, too.
24 Apr. 2025. 4:00PM.	Tooth extraction appointment today.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 Brookhaven Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015.	It was not made clear to me whether or not Dr. Ahmedi, or Dr. Mohammadh will be performing the surgery when Dr Ahmedi called me and made the appointment after I called and left a message on the 6th. I really don’t want to have to do this, but what choice do I have? It’s such a shame because these 4 teeth were perfectly good teeth before they were drilled into by a dentist. I am going to request they not put me under that’s for sure. The last time I had a tooth pulled I declined to be put under, too. I am hoping and praying all goes well, and I get to go home and recuperate in peace. I hope I’ll feel well enough to accompany Rich to go see his younger brother’s new home this Saturday. I went and bought a house warming gift last weekend. It is an identical dog statue that used to be outside of their grandmother’s house when they were kids. If I find myself too ill to go, I can take comfort in the fact that Brendan will receive the housewarming gift I found, and the box full of photos from his childhood. I’m sending a box full of his mother’s photographs and photographs of many older generations of their family members to Brendan’s new house, too. I figure since Brendan has his mother’s urn it made sense to me that he also have the older family photos, and his mother’s death certificate as well. Even though none of her children have asked me for it directly, I feel like there’s no need for me to be holding onto said certificate anymore. While I still find myself scratching my head when I think about how none of my would be mother in law’s children came to her home after she died to go through any of the things in her possession, I remember that I did all that I could by going through the things in her house myself. Packing away the things I thought her sons may want to have in their possession someday, but I digress. UPDATE: 25 Apr. 2025. When I arrived, the receptionist blamed Dr. Ahmedi for making an appointment for extraction with me over the phone. The receptionist said something like, “Dr. Ahmedi doesn’t do scheduling so that’s where the mixup was.” Dr. Mohammadh chose instead to evaluate me again. It sounded to me like he finally admitted that he doesn’t know what is causing the pain and sensitivity in the teeth Dr. Ahmedi drilled into. I’m not sure what’s going on. I told him I was in so much pain that I’d rather have him take these teeth out if that would help. Dr. Mohammadh told me he could take the teeth out, but I still may have the issue that’s causing me pain. Dr. Mohammadh tapped my teeth and what not, then sprayed the 4 teeth I had told him were causing me the pain and discomfort. I nearly jumped out of the dental chair! I did my best not to scream. Rather I let out a few loud whimpers before shutting my mouth and holding my jaw in my hand. He told me the place he’s referring me to will be able to diagnose what’s going on with me better than he. Whether or not this place is going to do that is anyone’s guess. Dr. Mohammadh wrote me 2 prescriptions: 1 for Amoxicillin and 1 for Tylenol-3. For the 1st time since I went there on the 5th of March, 2025 I left that office feeling like my care was not at all a priority for anyone in the office. They way everyone was treating me made me feel brushed off, and like my very presence was bothering them and/or wasting their time. It wasn’t a good feeling to be treated that way. Also, I can’t help but think about how much all of this might cost to fix. What if I cannot afford it? What then? I will call the # on the referral on Monday to make an appointment for the next day Rich can accompany me. Which is the 4th of May, I think. I just don’t want to go into Philadelphia for this dental appointment alone.I left the dental office with a 2nd referral. This time an oral surgery referral with a bunch of teeth circled on it. I remember thinking, “Why did this man circle all of these teeth when I told him only 4 of them were bothering me?” Then, I went home to think some more. Now, I had a referral for a endodontist given to me at the end of April, and a 2nd referral for an oral surgeon, which I didn’t understand. What do I tell this new office I have to call? I guess I’ll just tell them I have a referral for an endodontist and a referral for an oral surgeon and sort it out later.
20 Apr. 2025. 10:00AM	In-person worshp.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Easter Sunday worship. Rich and I were ushers today. By the time we got home from worship and feeding people in Chester it was after 2pm. I only had a little while to relax before I made a nice ham dinner for my family to eat. Kim texted Rich to see if he wanted to come to their house for Easter last week. I’m not sure what Rich texted back. All I know is I’m pretty sure I told Kim that I spend quite a bit of time at church and doing volunteer work on Easter day, which is why it’s not a good day to invite me to spend the day at their home with it being almost 2 hours away and all. Maybe Rich reminded her of that, I’m not sure.

7 Apr. 2025.	my web site domain (https://therealjennifermariekrapf.me) is set to auto-renew today.	n/a.	Here's hoping this domain renews without any issues. We'll see what happens.. I plan on taking a video screen shot of this entire web site beforehand. That way, if I have to start all over from scratch I'll have the means to do so. Maybe I'll just put the video(s) aside and continue with just my about me page, contact me paget, calender of events page, and maybe the rest of the pages.
6 Apr. 2025. 6:30PM.	After 10 days of deep thought I’ve decided to have these 4 affected teeth extracted.	n/a.	I called Brookhaven Family Dentistry this evening. I left a message with the answering machine expressing my desire to have these affected teeth extracted some time after Easter. I think I’d rather have these 4 teeth removed and be done with it than have to possibly go through the process of 4 root canals + the recovery associated with that procedure. I remember having 1 of my teeth root canaled 10+ years ago. I remember the recovery process being very painful. Also, I remember the tooth cracking in 3 places a few years later and having to return to the dentist chair to have it extracted anyway. Even though the drilling Dr. Ahmedi did to these teeth were the cause of my problems, I think I want her to be the one that removes said teeth for me. We’ll see what happens…
6 Apr. 2025.10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	An announcement was made by Pastor Casey letting everyone know that our music director was accepted into Yale University’s music program. Everyone gave him a big round of applause. I was so happy to hear that. I went to congratulate him after worship, but I lost sight of where he went. I’m sure I’ll see him some time before he leaves at the end of July. I am going to miss him. I got a card from Pastor Casey’s parents congratulating me on joining the council, too. I thought that was very nice.
3 Apr. 2025. @2:30PM.	I went on a scrap run with RIch today.	EMR Philadelphia - Atlas 3 Industrial Dr., Sharon Hill, PA 19079.	It rained in the morning so Rich worked a ½ day today. I went with Rich and helped him pick up some scrap metal and rode with im to the scrap yard. He ended up with $84 dollars for 1,200 lbs. of light iron. I couldn’t believe his little trailer held that much stuff.
3 Apr. 2025. 12:30PM.	You are enough.Lenten pause.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	It was nice to stop in and take a moment to reflect on the unconditional love God has graced me with.
1 Apr. 2025.12:30PM.	I saw my new eBike sitting on the patio when I returned home from Tuesday crew today.	715 Dover Ct., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I was on the phone with Rich when I saw the big box on the patio. I decided to tell Rich that I was going to wait until he got home from work to open it. I’d feel a lot better if he were here to help me set it up. Maybe I’ll have him drive behind me while I ride the bike to the church so he can clock my speed on the back streets. I don’t plan on taking this bike on any roads where the speed limit is over 25mph because from what I understand this eBike’s max speed is 18mph. I double checked to make sure my eBike fits the criteria for legal road use without a license. It does, so I shouldn’t have to worry about law enforcement representatives giving me a hard time about it.
1 Apr. 2025. 10:00AM.	Tuesday clean up crew.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Jody showed me a few things today. Codes, which keys go where, which doors to lock, and one of the alarm code box thingies. I inventoried the janitorial supply closet today and created a new inventory order form for future use. Rebecca offered to create it when I asked if there was one already available, but I told her I would do it because she probably has quite a few more things on her plate than I do. I got my keys from Jody today, too.

March 2025.

Date/Time:	Description:	Location:	Notes:
31 Mar. 2025. @8:30AM.	I started researching what it would take to apply for the permits needed to install a chair lift at our church.	n/a.	Now that I’m stepping in for the woman that was in charge of the property and maintenance of our church it looks like it’s up to me to apply for the permits, and what not. If I’m being honest, the whole thing started to make my head spin a little bit. I’ve never owned property, or applied for permits, etc. I took some notes, and plan on having a chat with the church council president about the duties I am to perform regarding this matter. He’s a very nice man and I feel like I can come to him with any comments, questions, and concerns I may have. I think he’ll understand that I need quite a bit of guidance when it comes to the few big items left on the property management list by my predecessor.
31 Mar. 2025.ALL DAY.	My 4th year of being drug-free.	n/a.	I think I may spend the day at the art museum. If I know Rich I think he’ll want to celebrate by eating somewhere nice, or going to a bar and drinking non-alcoholic beers like we did last year. If I remember correctly, everyone in that bar looked at us like we had 3 heads, but Rich and I didn’t care, lol. It might rain today, so I might just stay home and do what I do every day. Take care of my family and our home. I joke around with Rich sometimes by saying, "You and I beat meth, we're superheroes honey, lol." Come to think of it I beat cigarettes, too. Years ago, I told my parents that I’d quit smoking if either of them decided to quit one day. Sure enough, I kept my word. Anywho, another consecutive year of being drug-free for me, and many, many more of those years lie ahead.
30 Mar. 2025. @12:30PM.	I went to our bank w/ Rich after church to find out why my card was locked and see what steps are going to be taken to fix it.	969 Baltimore Pike, Springfield, PA 19064	The woman that assisted us was very thorough. She showed me the features of my banking app after I told her I haven’t been tech savvy since 2002. I updated my email address and telephone number in their system, too. I did find her comment about the email I provided to her very odd. She said something to the effect of, “You cannot tell me you’re not tech savvy and make things this difficult.” I thought that was an odd thing to say because the email I wrote down and gave her to type was: Therealjennifermariedelgatto@gmail.com. I didn’t understand what she meant when she said that said email was making things difficult because said email was just my full name with the words ‘the’ and ‘real’ preceding it. If I didn’t think that was odd, her turning her keyboard toward me and asking that I type said email into the system for her definitely made me think she felt some type of way about the email I provided her. Still, I typed the email in for her. In addition to that, when she was showing me how to use the features in my banking app she made yet another comment I thought was in regard to the email I gave her. While she was showing me a feature that would let me nickname any account whatever name I wanted to. She said, “You could name it the great, or whatever you call yourself…” I didn’t respond to that comment either. I just thought, “I never said I was great? What is she talking about? Is she talking about my email again because it starts with ‘thereal’?" At this point, I couldn’t help but think it weird that she was choosing to say these things to me. I felt like my email isn’t something that would warrant such and odd reaction since it’s just the words ‘the’ and ‘real’ with my full name attached. I was there to resolve an issue I thought was very minor, and updating my info in their system while I was sitting down with a representative of the bank. I didn’t think there was any reason for her to go out of her way to say these kinds of things someone like me. Someone that’s basically a stranger to her. Maybe it’s just me. What do you think?
30 Mar. 2025.10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Blood drive at Holy Trinity today. It's a shame people that live with people that have Hepatitis C aren't eligible to donate.
29 Mar. 2025. 10:00AM.	Doing a yard clean out with Rich today.	Madison Ct., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I let Rich know I’d be happy to assist him with the work he’s doing for one of the women living in our neighborhood. I’m excited to be able to help Rich on such a beautiful day.
27 Mar. 2025. 4:00PM.	I have another appointment with Dr. Mohammadh today.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 Brookhaven Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015.	I guess Dr. Mohammadh decided instead to refer me to an endodontist because the receptionist brought up the referral to me at check-in. I thought the teeth that were circled on the referral were not the correct ones so I sat down for a few moments to literally point them out to Dr. Mohammadh before leaving the office with the endodontist referral in hand. I had to hold back tears when Rich came and picked me up. I was hoping these dentists would be able to correct the problems that arose behind the work they performed on my teeth, but I guess I was wrong. Had I known I would be going through all of this I would have just left these “micro-cavities” as Dr. Ahmedi put it alone for now. I guess the cracked tooth syndrome and crowning my teeth aren’t even going to be a consideration anymore. I don’t know. I can only assume the next steps that have to be taken to fix my teeth will be 100% covered by either my insurance or by the doctors that caused the issues that need fixing. Here’s hoping. I think I will be calling the offices on this referral sheet soon to see who accepts my insurance. Part of me just might ask Dr. Ahmedi, or Dr. Mohammadh to extract these teeth and just call it a day. I may choose to do that if I find myself in a position where I am asked to shell out $300+ for these root canals. I'm going to think long and hard and pray on it. We’ll see what happens..
25 Mar. 2025.	I finished the Intro to SQL course I’d been working, sponsored by edx.org.	n/a.	The query commands were very similar to the intro to C++ course I took a few months ago. I still have a lot to learn for sure. Maybe I’ll invest in a book to further my studies in this area.
24 Mar. 202.	I found a very reasonably priced electric bike on Amazon today, so I decided to purchase it with one of my credit cards.	n/a.	I’ll be needing reliable transportation now that I’ve joined the church council and taken on the responsibilities that entails. Should I have to meet a contractor at he building to let them in, and lock the doors when they leave I want to be able to get there and back in a jiffy. It’s a 25 minute walk vs. a 8-12 minute bike ride. Plus, it comes with a basket and what not so I’ll be able to carry a few things if I find myself having to putt around town to do so while Rich is working. I should be receiving the eBike a couple days before attending my 1st church council meeting. I bought the 2 year protection plan, too, which I’m to understand covers everything that might happen to it. I’m excited to see how it works, too.
24 Mar. 2025.	I called the dentist(s) office to schedule another appointment with Dr. Mohammadh today.	n/a.	Dr. Ahemdi called me back and scheduled my appointment for this Thursday at 4:00PM.
23 Mar. 2025. 10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I was told the vote was unanimous and I will be finishing out the year as the council member in charge of property/maintenance at the church I attend.
21 Mar. 2025. 9:45AM.	Met with Jody today to discuss my joining the church’s council.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. 927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I’ve been excited to hear about what that would entail. As I am to understand it, I will be filling in the interim for a former member until the end of December. To which a formal vote will be held and I will either be continuing to work as a church council member, or I will not. My job on the council would be that of property/maintenance. I voiced my agreement in taking the place of the former member right away so that I may start reviewing the duties and responsibilities of that position in more depth. I am very excited to be able to serve my church in this way. I am confident that with a little sound guidance and direction I will do a good job.
20 Mar. 2025. 2:15PM.	Sat down at my dental appointment with Dr. Mohammadh to discuss my ongoing treatment.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 Brookhaven Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015.	I started off by telling Dr. Mohammadh that I thought Dr. Ahmedi and the other associates responsible for my care did a fantastic job. I went on to tell him that I did not have any reason to believe what has happened to me is due to negligence of any kind. I just thought it was important for him to know. Yesterday, I detected quite a bit of worry in Dr. Ahmedi’s voice when I last spoke with her via telephone about handing off my care from her to Dr. Mohammadh. I thought the worry I detected in her voice might have been because her work might be heavily scrutinized by her superior(s) once my care was transferred from her to Dr. Mohammadh, so I wanted Dr. Mohammadh to know what I thought of the care Dr. Ahmedi provided to me before any such discussions between them may take place. Dr. Mohammadh believes that I am suffering from cracked tooth syndrome. He went on to explain that there may be a fracture on my tooth that is so small it may not have shown up on the 2nd x ray taken when I 1st returned with this new pain. If I had to guess I'd say the crack is a direct result of the drilling Dr. Ahmedi did prior to my teeth being filled by one of her associates. The pain wasn’t there before Dr. Ahmedi drilled into my teeth, and the pain didn’t do away when Dr. Ahmedi removed the 1st set of fillings and replaced them herself. So, it’s only logical that the crack in my tooth is a direct result of the drilling Dr. Ahmedi did to my teeth right before the 1st set of fillings were placed in my teeth, right? Again, that's what I'd say if I had to guess what happened. Dr. Mohammadh's recommendation is that I monitor my pain for the next few days, then come back in should I still be experiencing this pain. Considering this pain has yet to subside (even a little) I think it is safe for me to assume at this time that I will be returning to his office come Monday. If that does happen to be the case,, Dr. Mohammadh is recommending I have a crown placed on top of the tooth in question (a helmet if you will) should the pain still be there when I chew. I was advised that if that should not be enough, he will be referring me to an endodontist to perform a root canal. We’ll see what happens..
20 Mar 2025. 12:20PM.	I got an unexpected call from my niece this afternoon.	n/a.	I was so happy to hear from her. It have been many, many, many months since I’ve seen or heard from her. She told me she was calling me to see if her father was home, but still, it was very nice to hear from her. It was just what I needed to lift my spirits. I asked her how she and her household were doing and had a nice chat about the posibility of us doing something together some time soon. With their mother’s permission, I’d love to take her and her half brothers out to do something fun soon. Ice skating, bowling, who knows? That would make me very happy.
19 Mar. 2025. 9:29AM.	I called the dentist office this morning. I got the answering machine and left a message requesting a call back.	n/a.	I did not sleep very well last night, o r the night before for that matter. It’s been 2 weeks since all of this started. I’m wondering how much longer I’ll have to endure.
18 Mar. 2025.10:00AM.	Tuesday clean up crew.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I chose to send an email to the church crew shortly after my conversation with Dr. Ahmedi letting them know I had something urgent that required my immediate attention. I did so because I was under the impression that the dentist offices receptionists would be calling me shortly to have me come in to be seen by the dentist Dr. Ahmedi was recommending I see about the issue I am still having.
18 Mar. 2025. 8:17AM.	I called the dentist office as Dr. Ahemdi instructed to see what to do next. I got the answering machine and left a message requesting a call back.	n/a.	Dr. Ahmedi advised me that she would inquire about any openings with another dentist and have one of he receptionists call me with the date and time. I waited all day with the hopes that I would at least get a call letting me know something. That was not the case. I will call the office tomorrow morning and leave another message asking to speak to Dr. Ahmedi about what we should do next.
17 Mar. 2025. 12:30PM-2:20PM	Went to see Dr. Ahmedi to see about fixing the probleMs I've been having with my bite.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 Brookhaven Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015.	Rich gave me the idea to bring gum to my appointment since I’ve only been having this pain when I chew things. I used the gum to help Dr. Ahmedi isolate and identify what’s causing the pain when I bite. It was her opinion that everything looks alright on the x rays and what not, and thought it very unusual that I am still having pain when I chew. She thought maybe there were micro bubbles in the fillings in my teeth that didn’t show up on the x rays. So, she removed all of the fillings on the right side of my mouth and put new ones in. I left the office pretty darn numb so I cannot be sure whether or not it worked. Dr. Ahmedi told me to call the office and ask to speak to her directly should there be any further problems. She told me she’d be there until 3PM today. I told her that I’d call her tomorrow if I have any issues after 3PM today. It’s about 2:37PM right now, and I’m still pretty numb. Here’s hoping everything is alright. If not, it’s okay, too. The fact that this Dr. is taking the time to sit me in a chair and do what se can to help alleviate this issue is very reassuring to me.
17 Mar. 2025. ALL DAY.	St. Patrick's Day.	n/a.	Gosh when I think back to how many times I used this day as an excuse to get blind stinking drunk. I think that was the reason why I enjoyed this holiday so much. Now that I’ve taken time to understand who Saint Patrick was, and what this day really means I feel like I can really enjoy it, sans alcohol. I like that.
16 Mar. 2025. 10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I was the greeter at the front door today. Also, Pam showed me how to lights the big candles that burn behind the choir on the altar. I asked her if she could show me because I heard she’s one of the only people that does it and I thought she might like a break from it every once in a while. I helped pack the lunches that were being handed out in Chester later today while Rich was on the telephone with the mother of his children. I figured since Rich did nor feel like heading down to Chester today I could at the very least help pack and load the lunches that are being handed out today. Also, I think I'm going to stop fasting like I've been doing. Maybe only Fridays. This year, I've been very sick and nauseated while fasting. Nothing like the last couple years. Maybe, my body is trying to tell me something. We'll see....
15 Mar. 2025.@10:00AM.	Called the dentist to schedule an appointment to see Dr. Ahmedi A.S.A.P.	n/a.	It looks like she won’t be there until Monday, so Monday it is. I just feel like she should be the one to help me get my bite back to the way it was before I got these fillings, which is pain-free. Fingers crossed for Monday’s appointment.
13 Mar. 2025. 3:30PM.	I called the dentists office and they asked me to come in at 3:30 this afternoon, which I did.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 Brookhaven Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015.	This time the owner of the dental practice was the Dr. that saw me. He used this bite tape, and shaved off more of the filling on my upper tooth. When he asked me if it felt alright I replied, “I’m not going to know until I eat.” I shook his hand, thanked him, and Rich picked me up on his way home from work. After sunset, I was disappointed to feel that my bite is still misaligned and causing me pain. Even before I ate it was weird. The now familiar pain just started in my tooth around 6 in the evening. I picked up a phone, dialed the dentists office up, and left a message similar to the one I left earlier today. Crossing my fingers that this issue can be resolved the next time I’m seen. We’ll see what happens…
12 Mar. 2025. 2:20PM.	Today’s appointment was to get 2 more fillings on the opposite sie of my mouth, and to assess the fillings done on the right side of my mouth.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 Brookhaven Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015.	Dr. Ahmedi explained to me that my bite was off and shaved the filling back for me. The relief was almost instant. I was very optimistic. The woman that filled my teeth last week, came in and filled the other side, too. Then, when I went home and ate after sunset, The teeth in question (right side) were causing me the same pain and discomfort as they were prior to her filing them down for me. The pain wasn’t ½ as bad as when I went in but still very much uncomfortable and not something I could ever “get used to” shall I say.I have been fasting until sunset for Lent, which is why I didn’t feel this pain until after their office closed for the day. I’m going to do what Dr. Ahmedi advised me to do and call their office to come back in and get this fixed (hopefully). The woman that filled my teeth on the 5th of this month filled them with too much resin, which caused my filling to be too high, which misaligned my bite. That’s what caused me a great deal of pain last week.
11 Mar. 2025.	I had Rich mail the St. Patty’s day face stickers I bought for his daughter today.	n/a.	I found these neat St. Patrick’s day themed face stickers I thought Rich’s daughter might enjoy wearing to school for the holiday. I’m hoping they get to her before the 17th. Six days should be enough, I think. We’ll see what happens…
5 Mar. 2025. 11:00AM.	Went to get my fillings at the dentist today.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 Brookhaven Rd, Brookhaven, PA 19015.	I wasn’t going to go until after the Ash Wednesday worship service (I was scheduled to be seen @ 2PM today), but after 2 calls from the front desk receptionists telling me there was a cancellation for an hour before worship, and 1 call from the Dr. herself, I decided if it would make their lives easier for me to go in before worship in the am I’d do it. I figure I can always make the 7pm worship service. I arrived at 11AM, waited in the waiting room until twenty of 12, then went in the back to get my teeth filled. Dr. Ahmedi did the drilling into my 2 top molars in the way back, and my 2 bottom molars in the way back on the bottom of my jaw. I don’t remember the name of the woman that did my fillings. I don’t remember if I asked her name because I was so worried about being able to attend worship service today that I completely forgot. What I do remember is the woman that filled my teeth was not wearing a name tag. Now that I think about it, Dr. Ahmedi wasn’t wearing a name tag, either. It took until almost 5 in the evening for my jaw to stop being numb. When that happened, oh man! The pain I was in was unimaginable! I thought maybe give it a couple days before I called to tell them. Plus, I had another appointment set for a week from today to see how everything went the 1st time around, so I could wait till them to tell Dr. Ahmedi about this new, uncomfortable and painful sensation I now have in my teeth after getting my fillings. After all, Dr. Ahmedi did tell me there might be some pain and discomfort for a few days after my teeth are filled.
9 Mar. 2025. 10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I am one of the Communion Assistants.
5 Mar. 2025.12:00PM.7:00PM.	Ash Wednesday service.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I've chosen to fast until sunset for the next 40 days in a row like I did the last couple years. UPDATE, 6:00PM: The dental work I had done today is really hurting me right now. That, and the pouring down rain outside has me thinking about staying home instead of attending worship in an hour. Plus, Rich got called to cover at Darby fire station around 3:30 this afternoon and is still in that area so I’d have to walk in the pouring rain without an umbrella for a half hour in order to get there. I think I might lie down and try to sleep off this pain instead. I’m sure the big man upstairs would understand considering I had every intention of being in attendance today.
5 Mar. 2025. 11:00AM.	Went to my 2nd dental appointment today.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry.4 W. Brookhaven Rd., Brookhaven, PA, 19015.	The appointment was originally scheduled for 2:00 this afternoon. Dr. Ahmedi called me from the office and told me about a cancellation, so I decided to go in the morning. I can go to the 7:00PM Ash Wednesday worship service instead of the noon service like I planned.
4 Mar. 2025.	Edx.org technical support got back to me about my issue.	n/a.	Everything should be fine now.
4 Mar. 2025. 10:00AM.	Tuesday clean up crew.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.
3 Mar. 2025.	The video(s) in my edx.org course, Intro to SQL have stopped playing.	n/a.	Wow, did I call it a couple days ago, or what? Lol. Now that I’ve fixed the issue I was having with signing into my edx.org account, it seems there’s another problem. The Youtube video(s) I have to watch to complete my course now display a message that says something like, “Sign-in to make sure you’re not a bot.” I signed into my YouTube account, but they still display said message and don’t play. I contacted edx.org support, informed them of the problem, and am hoping for a prompt response, and fix. I wonder if this is an edx.org issue, or an issue with YouTube? If I didn’t know better, I’d say there’s someone, or something that doesn’t want me to be able to take advantage of this free year of Verizon Skills Forward to learn new things that could serve me well in the future. We’ll see what happens…
3 Mar. 2025.	I asked Rich to call his younger brother to wish him a happy birthday today.	n/a.	As far as I know, Rich and I were going to go see him on Saturday, but after Rich tried to do some work on his Jeep on Thursday he had to take it to Midas to have them repair his repairs. Rich wasn’t able to get his Jeep back until some time around Saturday afternoon. I hope Rich lets Brendan know all of that and sets up another time in which he and I can go see his younger brother’s new home. I would like that very much.
2 Mar 2025. 10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.
2 Mar. 2025.ALL DAY.	My mother's birthday.	n/a.	I chose to get my mom some munchkin donut holes for her birthday instead of a cake. I figured these would be easier to eat than cake. Also, I brought her home all kinds of cookies and cakes from the church. Rich was helping clean up the snack table and the couple that brought the snacks gave him a bunch of the leftovers. All in all, I think my mom was very happy with those things. On top of that, I made her a nice, juicy angus steak burger for dinner.
1 Mar. 2025.1:19PM.	DHS-OCYF application was approved.	n/a.	I received the good news via email that my background check has been processed in accordance with the Child Protective Services Law (Title 23, Pa C.S. Chapter 63). The determination made by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Human Services is that I am ELIGIBLE to work or volunteer with children.
1 Mar. 2025.@12:30PM.	Went to my FBI fingerprinting appointment w/ Rich.	IdentoGO5233 W Baltimore Pike, Clifton Heights, PA 19018.	It was so cool to see how a digital fingerprinting machine works. Carmen, the woman who did my fingerprinting, took a photo of me for the FBI, too. She asked me not to smile but I found it very hard not to smile.
1 Mar. 2025.	I was able to return to my Intro to SQL course, sponsored by edx.org.	n/a.	The Geek Squad was able to update my MackBook Air so I can access edx.org. Yippie! Here’s to hoping nothing else goes wrong in my attempt at higher learning. Watch, I bet something happens like the YouTube videos I have to watch stop playing because the web site updates, or something. Lol, knock on wood, right?

January-February 2025.

Date/Time:	Description:	Location:	Notes:
26 Feb. 2025.1:30PM.	Went to my dentist appointment today.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry.4 W. Brookhaven Rd., Brookhaven, PA, 19015.	Apparently, my teeth, are in great condition, but the dentist, Dr. Ahmedi, advised me to get a metabolic test done through my primary care physician. Said dentist told me something about the look of my gums told her that whatever is adversely affecting my gums has to be a genetic disorder since I clearly take very good care of my mouth. Looks like I may have a pricey dental bill in my future. These things happen. $250 later, Dr. Ahmedi cleaned the left side of my mouth. Then, Dr. Ahmedi sent me home with a prescription for antibiotics, which I took as directed.
26 Feb. 2025.11:40AM.	Dropped off my MacBook Air to get repaired before my dentist appointment.	Geek Squad @ BestBuy642 Baltimore Pike,Springfield, PA 19064.	I am hoping they can make it so I can log into my edx.org course(s) so I can continue my coursework in Data Analytics. Fingers crossed.
24 Feb. 2025.3:30PM-5:30PM.	Life center homeless meal prep & delivery.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd.,Wallingford, PA, 19086.	In addition to delivering lunches to our friends in Chester on Sundays, I think I’ll be doing this every 4th Monday of every even month from here on out.
23 Feb. 2025.10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I was an usher today.
22 Feb. 2025.@2:15PM.	Rich and I had to take Craig to the doggy emergency room.	VCA Old Marple Animal Hospital820 W Springfield Rd, Springfield, PA 19064.	When I saw Craig’s fang had a crack in it running all the way up to his gumline I thought the worst. I am so thankful for the doctor that took care of Craig. Rich and I were told Craig is probably going to be alright since there was no swelling, dislocation, tooth pulp showing, blood, or any indication of pain or discomfort. I cannot even begin to describe how relieved I felt. I held Craig’s mouth open while the doctor took a photo with her cellular telephone. I’m guessing for his records. I don’t think I have to keep telling Rich to stop using an aluminum baseball bat when he’s playing catch with Craig ever again after what happened today. What an emotional day!Also, I should update my name within their computer system. I didn’t see it until Rich and I were on the road, but my maiden name is the name they have on file.
19 Feb. 2025. @10:00AM.	Walk-in appointment for my FBI digital fingerprinting.	IdentoGo1 Kedron Ave., #7Morton, PA, 19070.	Pastor and I were very surprised to see a sign in the window of the IdentiGO building next door to the Coffee Station that read, “FOR RENT” along with a phone number. Rich hopped over the fence and checked to see if anything way still there. Rich confirmed that the place was no longer in business. I told Pastor I would find another IdentiGO location, make another appointment, and keep in touch with her about my progress.
19 Feb. 2025. 9:00AM.	Breakfast with Pastor Casey.	The Coffee Station. 7 Keadorn Ave., Morton, PA, 19070.	They have very good english muffins. The coffee was great, too. Usually the coffee at those places is burnt and way to strong for human consumption, lol.
18 Feb. 2025. 10:00AM.	Tuesday clean up crew.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Pastor gave me the $$ I’ll be needing to pay for my digital fingerprints tomorrow. I have to remember to get her the receipt for the church records, I’m guessing.
16 Feb. 2025. 10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I mailed the child abuse history application form I need to turn in to continue my volunteer service(s) with the church to the registry office in Harrisburg, PA right after worship.
15 Feb. 2025.	I decided to check something on my web site and realized the web site editor is still working.	n/a.	I guess I have no idea when my web site editor subscription is going to lapse.
15 Feb. 2025.	I called and rescheduled my dentist appointment for the end of this month.	n/a.
14 Feb. 2025. ALL DAY.	Valentine's day.	715 Dover Ct., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Rich and I had a few mimosas and watched an Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore movie today. Rich got a video call from his daughter, too. It looked to me like Rich wasn’t going to answer it, but I paused the movie and pointed at his phone. Rich got the hint and answered it. She told us she’s been feeling under the weather lately. After Rich hung up the video call, I reminded him that he and I always have time for her when we’re not fulfilling any of our other obligations, work, social, or otherwise.
12 Feb. 2025.	Pastor got back to me with the service code I needed in order to pre-register for the FBI digital fingerprinting I need to do to continue my volunteer service(s) with our church today.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I have to admit the pre-enrollment thingy was a little hard for me to understand. I sure hope I filled it out properly. I even made sure to put my maiden name (Jennifer Marie Krapf) and my married name (Jennifer Marie DelGatto) in the part that asked if I’ve ever used aliases before. I set an appointment as a walk-in because the date I wanted to schedule my appointment for did not show up in the drop down menu. In fact, the only date that showed up was for tomorrow. I wanted to make an appointment for the 19th at 10AM this month because I plan on meeting up with my pastor and some other members of our congregation for breakfast at the Coffee Station in Morton that day. The fingerprinting place is right next door, I think. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
12 Feb. 2025.	The refurbished MacBook Air I purchased to finish my online data analytics course(s) arrived today.	715 Dover Ct., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Unfortunately, for some reason I cannot sign into my online coursework because I need to update the OS. I cannot update the OS because the disk is locked. Whatever that means. I tried a couple things, to no avail. I’m going to have to take it to someone that can update the OS and show me how to sign into my edx.org account. I will do that shortly after our tax refund comes in.
12 Feb. 2025.	Mailed another birthday card today.	n/a.	It’s a brand new year which means a brand new round of birthday cards for the friends and family members in my life. I have a very big family so I make sure to send everyone an X-mas card every year instead of doing birthday and X-mas cards, too. I’m still waiting on a few new addresses from some of them. As soon as I get them I’ll be adding them to my X-mas card list. I could go on, but I feel I’m beginning to ramble now, sorry.
11 Feb. 2025. 6:55AM.	I had to call and cancel my dentist appointment for today.	n/a.	Something came up so I called them at 5 of 7 in the morning with the hopes that they can still fill the slot. They were very understanding. I let the receptionist know I’d be calling some time later this week to reschedule.
10 Feb. 2025.	Mailed Pastor and Meg a birthday card today.	n/a.
10 Feb. 2025. 10:00AM.	I am accompanying Rich to his 3rd dentist appointment.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry. 4 W. Brookhaven Rd., Brookhaven, PA, 19015.	Rich only needed 2 fillings. I couldn't believe it, but I'm glad it wasn't worse. I made an appointment to be seen tomorrow at noon. They sent me home with a medical history chart to fill out and return when I come back. We’ll see what happens…

8 Feb. 2025. 10:00AM.	Share the love box packing day.	Sanctuary & Fellowship Hall. Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	I got to tie 100+ pieces of tulle to the handles of the boxes to make then look oh so pretty.
7 Feb. 2025.	Was able to order the new lap top I need to continue my studies in Data Analytics today.	n/a.	I needed a lap top with either a Windows operating system, Mac, or Linux to continue my online course(s).
7 Feb. 2025.	I sent Pastor an email regarding my FBI fingerprinting appointment process, and my child abuse history clearence(s).	n/a.	It seems I need a few things from Holy Trinity before I can make an appointment to get my FBI fingerprinting done. Also, I need a representative of the church to sign a consent form to have my child abuse history certification released to the church.
7 Feb. 2025. 11:00AM-2:00PM.	Share the love snack bag packing day.	Sanctuary & Fellowship Hall.Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	What a great effort from everyone involved. We got all the snacks that are going to be packed into the boxes tomorrow sorted, counted, and bagged up.
6 Feb. 2025. 1:00PM.	Share the love snack bag packing day.	Sanctuary & Fellowship Hall.Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	The meeting was postponed until tomorrow.
5 Feb. 2025. @12:00PM-1:30PM.	Helped sort, load, and handout lunches and jackets and other warm clothing out to those in need of them today.	Chester Transportation Center.Chester, PA, 19018.
4 Feb. 2025. 10:00AM.	Tuesday clean up crew.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Pastor Casey let me use her laptop to send in my background check info the church needs so that I may continue to volunteer there. According to what I assume was the official web site for the Pennsylvania State Police I don’t have a criminal record. Surprise, surprise (not). I was not able to access the web site I needed to access to submit the Pennsylvania child abuse history certification form I need to fill out. So, I have to fill out the form and mail it to I don’t know where yet (there’s no address on the form). I’m so glad to have finally gotten this stuff out of the way.
2 Feb. 2025.	Rich filed our tax refund.	n/a.	I helped him do it.
2 Feb. 2025. After worship.	Living love lunch delivery.	Chester Transportation Center.Chester, PA, 19018.
2 Feb. 2025. 10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Healing service. Also, I was signed up to be the greeter today, and one of the ushers. Since I agreed to do Sunday snack for our friends while they were away last week, I got to lay out the snacks they provided for the congregation after worship, too. Talk about a hat trick though, lol.
29 Jan. 2025.	Paid off the balances on all of Rich and my credit cards.	n/a.	Happy about that. Now, we wait to receive the paperwork we need in order to file our taxes.
27 Jan. 2025. 9:00AM.	Accompanied Rich to his 2nd dentist appointment	Brookhaven Family Dentistry. 4 W. Brookhaven Rd., Brookhaven, PA, 19015.	Another $250 co pay later, Rich's deep-clean tooth cleansing was completed today. Again, I am so happy that Rich is finally getting the help he's been needing. Now, the only thing that's left is filling his cavities. I may have to make an appointment with the Dr. that did Rich's cleaning. She seems very nice and very professional. I like her.
27 Jan. 2025.	I woke up to find an email that let me know my website builed was expiring today.	n/a.	I was surprised because I was under the impression the website builder was expiring in December of 2024. I took some time to add and/or edit a few things today.
26 Jan. 2025. 10:00AM	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Congregational meeting after worship.
23 Jan. 2025. 3:45PM.	I received an email from Pastor Casey about the clearances I'll need to continue being a volunteer at the church.	n/a.	She and I disussed this last year, but forgot to get around to doing it. Since I haven't been a resident of Pennsylvania for the last 10 consecutive years there's some extra stuff I have to do, fingerprints and/or FBI backround check, or something like that. I'm not sure so I reached out to Pastor Casey, let her know that I haven't been a resident of PA for the last 10 consecutive years and wanted her help so I make sure I do everything correctly. Hopefully, this will all be done some time in the next 60 days. We'll see.
23 Jan. 2025. 2:30PM.	I accompanied Rich to his 1st dentist appointment.	Brookhaven Family Dentistry 4 W. Brookhaven Rd., Brookhaven, PA, 19015.	Dr. Ahmedi did an amazing job. There was a $250 co pay. Ouch. Let's hope insurance will reimbirse us. We'll see. I'm not too worried about the $$,. I'm glad Rich is finally getting the help he needs.
22 Jan. 2025. @4:45PM.	I picked up my wedding band with Rich.	FedEx pick up @ the photo center. 4098 Edgmont Ave., Brookhaven, PA, 19015.	Rich was so excited I felt the need to open the box right there in the store. I was excited, too. It looks so shiny and beautiful. I think the jeweler(s) did a magnificent job. [Click here] to see a photo of the ring.
22 Jan. 2025. 1:30PM-3:35PM.	Helping the less fortunate.	Chester Transportation Center. Chester, PA.	I got to man the containers we brought the soup in. There were quite a lot of people that were able to grab lunches, warm clothes, and a hot cup of chicken and rice soup. I was happy to participate.
21 Jan. 2025. 10:00AM.	Tuesday clean up crew.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	During Tuesday crew, Pastor Casey asked me if I could help out by making some home made chicken and rice soup to bring to Chester, PA. I accepted the responsibility with a smile and a thank you.
20 Jan. 2025.	I was excited to receive a text message about my wedding band finally being ready for shipping.	n/a.	Anne was so helpful. She helped me find a safe place to send my wedding band for pickup. All thru a text message thread, too. Rich was relieved to hear that. I think Rich was convinced they took our $$ and weren’t going to send anything.
19 Jan. 2025. 10:00AM.	In-person worship.	Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.927 S. Providence Rd., Wallingford, PA, 19086.	Cancelled due to the snow storm.
18 Jan. 2025. 11:45AM-1:30PM.	Feeding/clothing the less fortunate.	Chester Transportaion Center. Chester, PA.	We were able to give away a lot of very warm clothing before the snow storm hit.
