Two weeks until Christmas now. I still need to do some shopping.
* Online at 7:30 a.m. to read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and noted that Treasure Chest Tuesday -- 1934 Obituary of Paul F. Schaffner (1879-1934) in San Francisco, Calif. posted. Wrote Name of the Year - 2018 Winner is ... and set it for later.
* We left at 10:15 for the Sharp clinic for Linda's neuro appointment, and then to the store, and home by 11:45 a.m.
* Had lunch, added to the Best Of post, and printed off the mail labels for the Christmas cards, and then finished up the Christmas letter. got a bunch of photos into it. Linda got started on the envelopes with labels, stamps and return labels. I printed off 40 copies of the first page.
* Wrote Genealogy News Bytes - 11 December 2018, then checked Twitter and Facebook. Took a nap. Online at 4:30 p.m. to read, then the printer stopped printing - no black ink. Crap. Tried to clean the printheads many times. Changed the ink cartridge. Nothing worked.
* Went in at 5:15 to eat dinner, read the paper, watch TV news, and do the dishes. Got the laundry finished too.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, tried to get the printer to print (it's old, an HP 6350). It may be best to buy a new printer but I have several sets of color ink that I won't be able to use. Crap. Should I go buy a new one at Costco tomorrow? Or should I go to the UPS Store and print out 180 color pages (probably about $90). That would be easier!
* Wrote the Wordless Wednesday post, then resolved almost 300 Ancestry Hints, adding content and sources to the database.
* Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.
Genealogy and family research are an obsession for me. Yea, verily, I am a Geneaholic!

Genea-Journal - Sunday, 9 December 2018
This was not a big genealogy day because of church and football. Daughter Lori bought a car to replace the breaking down one she had. It was a sunny day in Chula Vista, and I didn't have a nap.

Genea-Journal - Saturday, 1 December 2018
Slept OK, but felt poorly all day with minor headache and tired eyes. Hmmm, maybe that's the result of 10 hours on the PC yesterday (and almost every day). Tried to nap three times and failed. Redeeming feature was we got to see Tami and two of the grandkids for dinner.
* Linda's Y pool is closed now, so she didn't go today. I read email and blogs before going off at 7:30 a.m. for the church men's group breakfast at Marie Callenders. We had six and finished the Book of Judges.
* Home by 10 a.m. to read, noted that Surname Saturday -- LNU (Margaret, wife of William Cheney, England to colonial New England) posted. Wrote the FamilySearch and Ancestry posts.
* Went in at 11:15 to watch football and try to nap. Failed. Had lunch, and tried again without success. Online and noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Favorite Winter Activity Growing Up posted.
* Back to the recliner for more football, read the paper, and tried to nap again. Nope.
* We left at 3:30 for dinner in Carlsbad with Tami's family. got there at 4:15 and only Audrey and Charlie came and they were carsick. Lauren was sick so she didn't come, which was probably smart. We ate at Ruby's and didn't get ice cream because the kids felt sick. Home by 6:30 p.m. Fun to see the kids, but it was too short. Next chance is probably at Christmas.
* Watched more football, read the paper, and then online at 7 p.m. Noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 25 November to 1 December 2018 posted. Answered email.
* Worked on random Seaver wives - some without any vital data at all, and found data for several of them and entered content and sources in RootsMagic. TreeShared about 120 profiles, 40 left to do.
* Checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 4.0 hours.
