It is after 9 a.m. on a rainy and humid Tuesday. I am about to leave to get Mom from the hospital. She called around 6:30 or so to let me know that she was being released by 9. I had been up and getting ready for the day. I called Shirley twice to let her know what was going on.
I got online and checked emails. Becca says there is a new list being formed but and she gave me the name but it wasn’t registering. I have a feeling she or Gayle don’t want me involved because I don’t swap. This could be just my active imagination running on empty.
Anyway, I better get going….
It is now after 7 p.m. The day has ended and I am exhausted. I picked Mom up around 9:30 but we didn’t leave the hospital until 10. We chatted for a bit and then headed home. Mom was reminding me I was either too slow or too close. She apologized for a few times.
When we got home I called Shirley and told her I was on my way. Mom thanked me and I left. The ride wasn’t really that bad but it was sprinkling as it had been all day. I parked on the 9th level of the parking garage. I walked to the office and got to my office and did the charts. I was relieved to see there weren’t many charts so I had gotten that done in relatively good time. I started on today’s mail since it was waiting for me as well. When I got the checks out I worked on the chart request for tomorrow by 12 and then by quarter of one I had left for Debra’s.
Today was our last session until November. We talked about the weekend activities and about Mom’s health situation and about the trip I am taking with Dave to Newport. I told her that I discovered that he “hovers” like I did. I am expecting to be some problems but then again maybe not. Debra gave me a few statements because I told her she hadn’t given my July’s although she thinks she did. I will have to check. I did tell her of my concerns with the car insurance not being paid. She feels that they will give it time before they do anything.
The rest of the afternoon I worked on both days of mail. I finished way after 5 p.m. and left shortly after that. Shirley was surprised to see me still there. I told her I wanted to get as much done as possible. I said good bye to a few of my coworkers.
Oh I had a surprise today. Thawana Boatwright told me she is leaving next week for a new position in the Cancer Center!!!! Awwww my little sister is leaving!!! I wasn’t sure if I was going to cry or not.
I was really anxious to get home. Everyone seemed to be driving slower than I wanted them to. It was nearly 6 when I got home. Mom and I talked about he weather conditions for tomorrow so she suggested I wear some thing else. They are being washed as I write this.
We just finished Dinner around 7. We had tuna, salmon and grilled vegetables. It was delicious. It made up in some way the feelings of sadness that I felt while watching the news tonight. ABC did no other news other than the devastation that Katrina heaped on the gulf coast of the US. Homes have been destroyed, people are dead. I am going to go online and first see if I have anyone in the Louisiana and Alabama and Mississippi states as pen pals.
I see I got some more messages from Ibraugh. He now says he has something for me. He says we know each other from yahoo. I am not going to risk potential problems.
I was chatting with Jennie tonight not a long time because I am really tired and I had laundry to do. She will be sending me an invitation to the group…
Aunt Rosemary called from Virginia. Mom and she talked for about half hour. Mom says they are all doing well. Judy is down in TX training dogs. Kathleen is still in NY and I don’t know about Steven but when Mom says they ALL are doing fine then that’s all there is to know.
The two shirts are in the dryer and will be coming out soon. The pants are already on the ironing board and I will iron them tomorrow. I am so tired.

It is almost 9 at night. It is humid and probably 80 degrees or higher. Today was incredibly long and busy. Mom and I got up by 6 and got our day started. I emptied the dehumidifier and it spilled which pissed me off.
I dropped Mom off a little after 7 and headed to work. It was cloudy and 71 this morning. I got to work by 7:30 and answered some emails and did some work... Around 9:30 I got a phone call from Robin in recovery at the hospital letting me know that Mom was out of surgery and did well. She would be spending the night.
The volume of the mail was heavy and I wasn’t able to get it done. My other tasks were almost finished. The charts were ordered etc.
Liz called me a few times and I didn’t have her cell phone number so I had to go home and get it (after making some phone calls to find it.). My light brown shoes continued to fall off me through out the day. I called her and we chatted. Afterwards I had the corn salad that Mom had brought home from the picnic yesterday.
I got back to work by 1 and continued to work. Liz called me back around 3 and to report on Mom. Liz felt she looked great and was ready to do a marathon.
I left the office around 4:30 and headed to the hospital myself. Mom was eating a hamburger and other things and she did look much better. I stayed with her for an hour or so. We chatted about diets again. Her roommate was someone I knew from Mediplex.
It was cloudy when I left the hospital. The drive home was uneventful and I got home by 6:30 the latest. I had dinner and relaxed for a bit.
Liz called around 7 and we talked about what we thought about Mom. We also discussed trying to get a hold of Bobby (which I tried twice already) to see if he would pick Mom up tomorrow. After a few more calls we decided that I would pick her up and take her home. Liz also reassured me it was no big deal that I didn’t have her phone numbers. I was concerned and sort of beating myself up over it. We also made plans to go out to dinner on Thursday for my birthday.
I checked emails shortly after that and come discover that Jennie’s pen pal list was deleted. I had called her around 9 to find out what happened and she told me. I can’t believe that this happened. This is like the second one this week alone. Jennie tells me she is thinking of starting one up. I had sent her emails and as well as Becca but they were not replied to at all.
I had gotten a note/card from Shannon Hutton with Confetti and so I posted that it arrived. I have to get a letter off to her this week. Its been nearly an hour since I checked the emails so I will do that now.
Mom called around 8 to see what the story was about her ride home and I explained that if we had not heard from Bob by 8:30 that I would come and get her. She pleaded that I not miss my appointment with Debra. I told her I wouldn’t.

It is after 3 in the afternoon on a humid and sprinkling Sunday. I have been watching TV having an early supper and surfing the net. I just had a scary experience. Someone tried to set up another yahoo account with my msn account. It has some asinine name for yahoo id. For the last few days I have had people contact me and not tell me where they are from. They keep saying it is from the “happy Friday” post and I don’t recall making one like that.
Bingo went well despite some irritating moments. We had a new member who annoyed Sam but both Claire and Mr. Russo complained that those who couldn’t hear shouldn’t play. It’s not their business.
I came home by 11:30 and put Mom’s roast in. Mom came home around 12:15 and noticed I wasn’t at church I told her I would have been late and didn’t want to be late. Over the next couple of hours Mom got ready for her afternoon with the literary club.
I got an instant Message from Mardi wishing me a happy birthday. Mardi wasn’t feeling too well today her back was bothering her. We talked about what our families were up to and the plans for the kids are until school starts next Wednesday.
The journaling lists had their weekly roll call and various discussions that are okay but not anything I want to hear about. The pen pal lists are discussing the hurricane and other than that nothing. The Kevin lists haven’t been active but I did visit some of the forums that I have been neglecting. They were discussing The HTLJ episodes and characters they most didn’t like or liked.
I emptied out the crap out of the car so that Mom can sit in it without because anxious. However, she will have to be sitting on mud prints from Boppie. He hopped into my car while taking a walk. I held him and cuddled with him while chatting with Sylvia. She was as of late tired.
I better go wash the pots and pans that Mom used before she gets home. I expect her in the next few hours.
It is now after 5 and Mom is not home. I got the pots washed and put away and now I am going to check the mail again. I am really concerned about that email thing. I am wondering if someone has gotten a hold of my email. I am thinking I am going to start having people email me for my address.
I did end up posting my concerns on the pen pal lists and one person replied back and said that it was probably an error and that if it happens again that I should worry then. I feel better now.
The sun is out again. It did rain for a little bit but that’s it. When I called Liz earlier we discussed the benefits of having a lot of rain right now one of them would be humidity would be down.
I just had another reply to my concerns email this time it was from a Girl by the name of Kay Gerhard. She feels that someone has a similar email as mine and that MSN could look into it. She also feels that someone might have hacked my pc but a firewall should protect that. I replied that I do have a firewall and that I would have msn look into it.
Linda Martin also posted a message in regards to the email concern. She suggested I email Yahoo again and reiterate that I didn’t ask or request another email account. She asked if there was another Katie they got mixed up with. I am trying to reply to it but it isn’t working. I am not sure if it’s because Yahoo has been acting strange all afternoon or what.
It is after 8:30 and the virus scan is going while I write this. Mom was in her room looking at the computer but something tells me she already went downstairs. I am still getting advice from my concern posts and the general consensus is sending an email to yahoo and let them know I got the email stuff. Unfortunately I deleted it prior to this.

It is another beautiful Saturday night. It is now after 8:30 and it has been another two days since the last entry. Friday was a very nice day. Even when I felt bad for doing some copying for Ouida after being told by Shirley last week that they should have asked her first. I was getting agitated because I knew Ouida was never told to ask before just giving me stuff to do.
Friday night I went out to dinner with Jennie and Marc. This was the first time meeting them in person after previous dates had fallen through. They were waiting on a bench outside TGIF’s and I waved to them and when I finally got a parking space we hugged and then went in the restaurant to be seated and we chatted about all kinds of things. Topics like meeting online, experiences of the pen pal lists. We had nachos for appetizers and for the main course we each had something different. After dinner Jennie gave me a bath ensemble for me as a birthday gift. I loved it. Then it was time for us to go home.
The sun was just in the setting mode so it was still light out. Mom was watching TV when I got home and so I showed her my birthday gift. After showing the gift I came upstairs and got changed for bed and did some Internet surfing. I didn’t stay up long.
I went to bed at 8:30 and spent the next 8 hours sleeping. I did wake up early this morning from some really intense dreams that I can barely remember. I got ready for the day which included the tag sale.
I got to Telka’s by 8 and helped set up. A number of people started arriving to buy stuff. Around 9 or so Roberta and the new member came and helped set up. Roberta and I hung some of the signs for the sale and around 10 I headed to New Haven to pick up my welbutrin. I also bought the small containers of Pringles potato snacks. They were gone by 5 tonight.
Oh the Club picnic for tomorrow has been cancelled. I am not really disappointed. I didn’t go anyway. I wanted to stay home and do letters.
The rest of the day, I did some laundry, watched TV; I checked the emails and watered the flower beds.
The journaling lists continued to discuss different blogging sites and Johns’ new adventure to a new job. The pen pal lists were okay. Elizabeth banned a potential problem member. The girl had joined yesterday and had made one post that I had some concerns about. The way she introduced herself sounded more like those SPAM ads for the websites for adults. Well Liz posted that she checked it out and banned the girl. There were things in her profile she didn’t approve of and the other members thought she was harsh. I am not responding because I felt uncomfortable and I was entitled to my opinion.
On Jennie’s list, Allison thought it was ridiculous that 12 out of 37 of us signed up for the games. I am sorry sweetie but I don’t want to play games and I don’t have to. I suggested she allow them to exercise their right to not want to play games.
Tomorrow is Bingo, Church, and keeping an eye on the roast for Mom while she is at the wedding tomorrow. I will probably do some more laundry and get ready for the week and of course letter writing.

Good morning it is quarter of seven and it a cool morning at that. It was another night of no fans which felt good. I am sure Mom will be happy when the bill comes. Although I think it won’t that big of a difference overall.
Dottie C tells me thinks are going to be okay in her house after all. Daddy C told her while they were on vacation and after he does a few things they will be going to the Cape for a few days.
The work days have been pretty good. I have been caught up and doing the work. The bulk mail needs to be done but I expect to do that today as well as the individual name mail that came from the mailbox downstairs.
Ann came back yesterday after a few days of personal time and she looked great. She was incredibly busy but great. She will be looking into why the PO is holding on to the bad addresses the way they have been (yesterdays was 17 the day before was 365)
Everything with Amy P is fine. She was confused as to why I posted a “Mail call” to all the lists. I got a bit resentful at first because I thought she was going to tell me not to do it. She didn’t and she was cool with the fact that I did it afterwards. I had explained I was on the lists and I thought she was too.
Everything in the pen pal world is okay. Well overall. Everyone there is busy with their own lives. A number of them are starting new jobs, or dealing with every day aggravations.
I am still working on the next letter for Jessica Strack. I started at work and I am hoping I can finish it and mail it out by the end of the week.
Everything in the journaling world is copasetic. One member had to cut back their lists so they left the group. The discussion about tea drinking is also pretty strong.
The Entertainment world lost three more actors/performers. All of them were from the Star Trek world. Brock Peters who was on ST: DS9 as the father to Ben Sisko and Grandfather to Jake Sisko died on Saturday from pancreatic Cancer he was 78. He also played Admiral Cartwright in a few of the feature films with the original cast. Also the woman whose voice can be heard in the theme to TOS also died she was 82.
Well it is now 7 and I need to get going. I will write more when I get home.
It is now 10:05 at night. It has been twelve hours since I wrote.
On the way to work this morning I ran into Joyce Boresen who told me that the office had some excitement late yesterday afternoon. The excitement came in the form of a Bomb Scare/threat to the office. It happened around 4:40 or so. I had already been home. It wasn’t on the news last night but it was in the paper. A number of people talked about. I later learned it was a stuffed rabbit and it was nothing. CC as usual over reacted. I told her as well as several others that we need to control our emotions and not let our emotions control us. She was threatening the police department with a lawsuit. As I understand it the police announcer could have been a little bit calmer instead of creating havoc. My personal belief is I hope they catch who ever did it and tortures them. Many people were very stressed out about this and I know a number of them have high Blood pressures.
The rest of the day went okay. I opened all the mail but need to sort it tomorrow. I have bad addresses to do for today plus some more personal mail. Shirley didn’t come in today and I am not sure about tomorrow. I hope everything is okay with her and her family.
I have some pen pal news. Laura Fetzner whom I haven’t written in a long time has a new email address. She seems to be doing fine. I posted a message to her but haven’t heard back yet. My pen pal and chat For 40 year olds was deleted. I contacted Linda the owner who was dropped from the list by some one unknown but sounds like “the phantom list killer”. She said someone changed her info and caused her to get dropped and she tells me that Katie Abbott started another one. I tried looking for it but haven’t yet. I will email her and ask to be invited.
Liz Crasten got my introduction letter and posted the announcement on the list. I am very pleased about that. I will probably get one sometime next week. I have no idea if Denise Bristow has or not yet. She hasn’t mentioned it.
There is a woman on one of my lists I believe her name is Nancy and she lives up in Potsdam and I think it’s near where Mandy Hebert lives! I think that’s so cool. I emailed her on the list but she hasn’t responded to me either.
I got a letter from Jeanette Viers today. She is having a quiet summer but she does hear from her son over in Europe. He is still expecting to come home at Christmas time. She says he is very lonely and can’t contact his girlfriend. I will try and get the letter out to her next week.
I tried to write Jessica’s letter a little today but it was hard. I might try tomorrow if I have enough time.
The journaling lists are discussing the 360@ program and what they like about it. Everyone is sending out invitations to network with it. I Hope it is everything we expect it to be.
I am a little miffed at Telka this evening. I called her to see if I could go and pick up the jumper from her for Joel Ball. She got rude. “Why do you need it now?” I told her I wanted to get it to Joel tomorrow. As I fucking promised Joel today. She had no intention of giving it to me until she was ready. Now I have to wait until Saturday. It is really not fair. If it was important to her then it would be done immediately. It is so frustrating.
Mom tells me that she had her eye appointment. She has some scar tissue that is causing some problems and will be getting it repaired sometime next week. It will be that Lasik or Laser surgery. I am not sure how long or when it will take place.
Well I am going to post this and then hit the sack. I have another long day tomorrow. My dinner date with Jenny and Marc is for tomorrow night at TGIF’s Restaurant. I am really looking forward to it.

Mom tells me that she had her eye appointment. She has some scar tissue that is causing some problems and will be getting it repaired sometime next week. It will be that Lasik or Laser surgery. I am not sure how long or when it will take place.
Well I am going to post this and then hit the sack. I have another long day tomorrow. My dinner date with Jenny and Marc is for tomorrow night at TGIF’s Restaurant. I am really looking forward to it.

It is quarter of six in the evening. I have been home for an hour. The day went well. I managed to get the regular mail done and get the charts delivered and ordered.
Throughout the day I checked emails from all aspects. The pen pals stuff, the journaling, and the Kevin World. The pen pal world was talking about various things such as pet peeves, which would be receiving mail. The journaling world was still discussing clothes or the lack of, and of course the 360 page from yahoo. In the Kevin World I brought up the point that the articles in regards to the announcement of Kevin and Sam’s baby announcement seemed to be a little obnoxious (“Good Timing Hercules”). I had a few supporters but that goddamned moron DM told me I am over reacting and that she saw nothing wrong with it. I had given my theory on it (that they should have been told sooner or some nonsense) I just posted that we would just have to disagree.
Dottie C tells me she had a bad weekend. It isn’t a happy time in that household. Apparently she gave him (Mr. C) an ultimatum either things around the house change (he is always helping out somewhere else) or she files.
The rest of the day was fine.
I got home around 5 and Mom was getting dinner ready. It was an eggplant dish that was delicious. We also had spaghetti with oil and mushrooms and stuff like that –we ate around 6.
Since Sylvia didn’t leave me the key to get into the house I pretty much surmised (or assumed) that she either took Boppie to her sister’s or brought it with her. I didn’t have to feed him or walk him.
I finally finished the letter to Amy and will be mailing it tomorrow. I finished it around 8 or so and have been watching various programs. I am going to post to the lists that I am mailing it out.
I reassured Sherry who is getting support from other list members (Liz C’s List) that she better not leave.
Got an email from Mardi tonight she was replying to mine. She isn’t feeling well she has been sick for a few days. Kara also contacted me and wants to hear my opinion. Oh goody. I tried to reply to both of their messages but Netscape wouldn’t let me. They are in the draft folder now.

It is after 12:30 in the afternoon. I have been home from the store and bingo for about 25 minutes. Mom just got home herself. I have the sprinkler on the flower bed out front. There is supposed to be some rain in the forecast but at this point I don’t see it happening.
I got up around 7:30 or so and then got online and read some of the emails. The journaling lists is share an entry day (I did that Friday). Nicola has opted to keep her list snail mail only. There were a few new members on the lists and so I added them to the address book and their email into the potential pen pal folder.
It is almost 3 p.m. I got a call from Roberta about 2:30. She was so tired but she was really agitated because of her flight home. They had technical problems and couldn’t take off right away, and then had to wait for her luggage for another three hours. She plans on writing a letter to the airlines.
I started my friend. I am surprised it started today I was expecting it in a couple of days. Oh well I have enough supplies. The only thing is I got tired all of a sudden.
I really should be writing letters but I don’t feel like it. :(
God Mom gave me a scare a little bit a go. She went down into the cellar to get a can of tuna and came back up. When she does that she usually sits down. Next thing I turn around and she is sitting in the living room. She tells me something is not right. I offered her water or something and she said no. Next thing I know she is napping. It was unsettling. Some crazy ass stuff was running through my head. I was in tears but after awhile (and when Mom woke up) it was fine.
It is 9:30 now and I am heading to bed. In the last several hours I have been watching TV, talking on the telephone with Telka and Roberta, and sending out phone squad messages and checking emails.
Telka called about two hours ago and wanted to give me phone squad messages for the upcoming week and some info on activities for the group. WE have a tag sale next Saturday. We have the picnic on Sunday. She also told me there are going to be some changes for the Scholarship requirements for next year. She also told me that the State president wants to present the award to the National Creative Writing contest winner herself. Telka seems to think this is rude on several levels. She feels it’s ridiculous to wait until October. She thinks BF wants to check up on us because we don’t write any other reports except for the writing contest. Anyway, I just called Roberta and Dottie (and sent the emails) with the messages and now I am just checking emails.
On the journaling lists we are discussing the benefits of multi blogs and usefulness of Yahoo’s newest 360 degree page. There seems to be some mixed reviews of its usefulness. I posted that I am not really sure the need for it myself and that it reminds me of Bebo and Ringo sites.
I am about to check the emails for the pen pal lists and perhaps the entertainment lists on the Netscape email list. I haven’t been there since Friday. Unfortunately on the lists it really hasn’t been very active exception being the baby announcement.
I think it is starting to thunder. It started getting overcast about two hours ago. The temperature seems to be down a bit. I really hope it rains. We really need it.
I am progressing nicely with Amy P’s letter. It is about two pages long and I was writing about the summer activities. I should probably finish it tonight before going to bed but I am really getting tired.

Good Saturday morning to all. It is after 10 and I have been up nearly 2 hours. Mom went to her blood drawing appointment and got back a little before 9. I had my breakfast and have been online and also chatting with Mom’s client’s dog, Alma (I think) a doxsen. Hyper little thing despite the fact it was just fixed.
I did post a brief entry on my journaling lists yesterday about a fight that broke out on Liz C’s pen pal list over selling and advertising. Kristie had a problem with sherry and I emailed her later and nearly got into a fight with her about her badmouthing and I suggested she not do it on future lists. Well it was not well received. We managed to get through it after I apologized.
The discussion that stemmed from that argument had everyone chiming in about it. Some don’t mind the selling but some believe the attack was uncalled for and this other little fucking ass bitch is now saying after quoting me about asking for stamps that we don’t know their financial situation. WTF? I don’t want to know. It is terribly in appropriate and if she can’t see that then that’s her problem. I was going to reply to her but I am not going to.
Oh speaking of arguments that goddamned slut Rebekah attacked me for calling her a rude bully and she was telling me I was the pot calling the kettle black. She is the Motherfucker who thought she was all that the last time. Of course people told her to give it up. Anyway, I know I am not supposed to be swearing on this but the BS that’s on the lists is starting to get to me.
I went to Evette’s party yesterday it was great the club was nice and I ran into Danny Scarpellino. He owns the restaurant on College and they have missed me. I think he knows I have been going to Paula’s. I also told him I have been bringing lunch in. Not that it is any of his business.
I heard from Kris Morse and she is doing fine. She was telling me how it has been since she moved in and what they like to do.
It is now almost 11. Mom is having coffee and will be leaving in awhile for the Oyster festival. I am going to be going to Filenes to get some bras. I might do that later but right now I have some bills to pay. I will remain online and see what else is going on.
It is now 4:15 and I have been spending time weeding gardens, shopping at the mall I got some bras. Then I went to get some binders and 2006 appointment book and envelopes. I came home and had cereal. I was so tempted to stop at IHOP or Bertucci’s. I decided to come home instead and have cereal.
It is now after 8 it is now dark out (indication that summer is coming quickly to an end). Mom is downstairs watching TV. She got home by 6 and wasn’t happy that I let the tomatoes she was roasting burn. Well it would have been nice if you told me what time you wanted them. She made a dig at me about it. We looked over the bras and one will be returned.
I probably should finish the letter to Debra and to those I owe letters to. I just don’t feel like doing much because of my hands right now.
It is after 10:30 and I am going to bed. My hand is feeling better. It actually should I took five Aleve®. Liz sent some pictures from the family reunion (I didn’t see any of me which is starting to piss me off)

Well it is almost 10 p.m. and another two days has passed since I last wrote in the journal. For the most part it has been a good two days but busy. The weather has held out nicely. It is supposed to rain on Sunday.
Work is going pretty good. I have managed to keep on top of most of the things. I am going to have to work on the Bulk mail and get it out tomorrow. As soon as I get the bad address pile for today done and the mail done. Valerie is still out on leave from her mother’s death. Terry is still on vacation. Ann hasn’t been in for the last two days. Shirley wants me to still do a write up as how the mail is generally done for the day I am away.
Home is going pretty good. Mom has been going to meetings and her Dr. Appt. She does have another blockage and is still waiting to hear when she will be going to get it dealt with. It could be as early as next week or as late as October. I haven’t heard from Bob or Jim but Mom talked with Ethel a day ago. She is planning on going to see Diane in Seattle. Mom talked with Liz and Liz was going to NY with Nelson to see Dolly Parton.
Junior is doing fine (if you call seeing a huge hairball on the rug in the living room doing fine). The pups next door have been greeting me on a daily basis now. I have to get more treats for them.
Dorene just had a major argument breakout in the last couple of days. It was over the way Rebekah reacted to Anastasia’s Blog. Rebekah attacked her and Walks and I (coming late into the fracas) told her she should have been more tactful. Dorene got angry with Rebekah. I know that what I said was a little over the top. I told her she was a rude bully and an unfit parent and a prude. I have decided to do continue only summarizing what’s going on the lists for journaling and only take a few things that are interesting (including the prompts and the “special dates).
I am putting everything else in their individual folders (at least for the msn one) and for the pen pal list I cleaned out the inbox but will save only addresses and profiles. I will summarize the activities and stuff. There are new swaps and games being played on the pen pal lists and they look like fun. There is also tags being printed out (something I have no interest in)
Well my stomach is acting up again and I need to get to bed. I will chat again tomorrow.

It is almost 8:30 in the evening, the sun has gone down and the temperature is 87 degrees. For the second night in a row the fans won’t be blasting away. It feels great. It has been a very busy couple of days.
Yesterday was a normal Monday as far as work was concerned. Shirley wants me to write down exactly what happens with the mail. She approved my birthday off and so she wants someone to be back up….I really hate writing that stuff. I will probably get to do it sometime after my appointment with Debra tomorrow.
I fed Junior yesterday and got to see Missy and Charlie and their “daddy”. Charlie continues to come along way from the scared thin shepherd. He is now even giving me kisses. I called Dave from Roberta’s and told him to call me at home. We hadn’t really decided where to go by then. Actually we though of the Beach house restaurant but it isn’t opened on Monday’s. So we decided to have dinner at the Southport Brewing company Restaurant that used to be Amberjacks. We had dinner at 7. Dave had errands to do before his next flight out. I gave him a card when I got to his house.
For the next couple of hours we ate and talked about our families, vacations, trips and the latest Celebrity Deaths. He had no idea that Barbara Bel Geddes had died. A couple of times he asked me questions that he already knew the answer to (at least I thought he did). What they are is not important.
It was nearly 10 when we got home. Patrick was ambling around and picking up the place. We sat out on the deck watching the moon over the sound and it was delightful. We talked about the condo down in Florida; we talked about the tense moments between Patrick and Mary while in Ireland.
Around 10:30 I got home. Mom was in the back room and chilled/cold. I said goodnight and came up here. Spent time on the net and then tried to go to bed. My stomach wasn’t feeling well again.
I tried to sleep but couldn’t. It was the caffeine in me from the coffee and the soda I had through out the day. It was also the pain in my arms and hands again.
At some point I got up and watched TV and then got online to check emails. The Guy Charles Arballo from the Pen Pal group for 40 year olds had sent me several emails over the last few days and I had only saw a few of them. One nearly blew me away. He was calling me sweetie and that if I couldn’t’ sleep to email him and then we could talk on the phone. Well I set him straight damn fast. I told him he was out of line inviting me to call him we weren’t even official pen pals. I am not his sweetie and that the list was not for romancing and that if that was the case I should have put a stop to it. He claimed he didn’t send it to me. I know he did. I told him not to contact me ever again. I had gotten the feeling from the other emails that something was not right so that pseudo relationship died. I also contacted Nicola and told her what was going on. I heard from her tonight. She encouraged me to go with my instincts.
This also came on the heels of some guy getting to all the lists and inviting all of us potential pen pals to write him. It really upset some woman and of course I don’t blame her. She has had some scary situations in the past.
Oh and I joined another pen pal list. Chris closed some of her lists and opened anther one. Apparently something happened to cause her some hurt feelings. Oh for some reason the two Realsnailmail lists up and disappeared recently. I contacted someone who was on the new list and she didn’t know what happened but she suspects they were playing us for fools. She says she went back to the original list. I can’t even find that one.
Oh some controversy broke out on the JournalWriting Group. A woman named Anastasia posted an invite to peruse some of her journals and which ones she uses for her modeling. Well another member got bent out of shape from the modeling pictures and accused her of doing porno. Anastasia was hurt and decided to get off the list. I am not sure if she did or not.
Mom saw the MD today. They did find another blockage and are now making plans for Mom to go in and so they can clear it out. It could happen next week or down the line (October the latest)
I am going to check emails and then hit the sack. I need to get up early again and get to Junior.

Saturday I got up around 7:30. I had a rough night last night. I had the runs. It started off as really bad gas pains and then poof. I know exactly what caused it. It was the cheese and fries. It finally stopped around 3 or so and I was able to sleep. I had some wild dream. It was taking place at some beach front location and we were being chased.
Around 11 I had breakfast and it is making my stomach queasy. I made a promise to myself that I would take it easy on the food at the picnic.
From 12 until about 2 we did shopping I got some new shoes and a new wallet. I was glad we did it now I can go with new shoes.
Around 3:30 we left for Cheryl’s. We didn’t get lost but we were about five minutes late. Traffic wasn’t the greatest. We were there for about two or three hours and the food delicious but I wasn’t feeling well. I was getting irritated by the conversation Liz and Mom were having about the finances of the family reunion. I guess Mom thought Liz was being taken advantage of. Liz later told me it wasn’t for me to get annoyed with Mom. Mike’s Mother and Aunt were annoying me as well with their rudeness. Overall I wasn’t really feeling well.
It was nearly 7 when we got home. I went to feed the cat and it took me several tries to get the right key. I finally found it but I was getting pissed at myself and the whole situation. I thought I screwed up again.
The rest of the night I was online or relaxing.
Today I fed the cat (later would get a phone call from Eddy the friend saying he fed the cat), bingo, and my visit to Aunt Helen and doing more laundry. I managed to change the sheets on my bed. The traffic going to and from Aunt Helens’ was very tedious.
By the time I got home it started to cloud up. It started raining (or showering) maybe around 4. It’s been thundering and lightening on and off since then. It actually has made things cooler but not by very much. In other words I was sorely disappointed in the storms.
I Chatted with Jennie today. We talked about the weather and what it would be like for the rest of the week. I also got a message via the list from Barbara Stevens. She lost my address and wanted to start corresponding again. I started the letter to Amy P, and will be sending out intros to Denise Bristow.
I got a call from Dave tonight. He just got home from Delaware. He says they had a good time and explained who was there and how the friend usually rents it out to people but hasn’t in a while. We made plans for his birthday dinner to be at the Beach House Restaurant. We will be going for 6 p.m.
I am going to bed. Before I do though I better check the Dehumidifier first like I promised. Well it is okay.

Around 11 I had breakfast and it is making my stomach queasy. I made a promise to myself that I would take it easy on the food at the picnic.
From 12 until about 2 we did shopping I got some new shoes and a new wallet. I was glad we did it now I can go with new shoes.
Around 3:30 we left for Cheryl’s. We didn’t get lost but we were about five minutes late. Traffic wasn’t the greatest. We were there for about two or three hours and the food delicious but I wasn’t feeling well. I was getting irritated by the conversation Liz and Mom were having about the finances of the family reunion. I guess Mom thought Liz was being taken advantage of. Liz later told me it wasn’t for me to get annoyed with Mom. Mike’s Mother and Aunt were annoying me as well with their rudeness. Overall I wasn’t really feeling well.
It was nearly 7 when we got home. I went to feed the cat and it took me several tries to get the right key. I finally found it but I was getting pissed at myself and the whole situation. I thought I screwed up again.
The rest of the night I was online or relaxing.
Today I fed the cat (later would get a phone call from Eddy the friend saying he fed the cat), bingo, and my visit to Aunt Helen and doing more laundry. I managed to change the sheets on my bed. The traffic going to and from Aunt Helens’ was very tedious.
By the time I got home it started to cloud up. It started raining (or showering) maybe around 4. It’s been thundering and lightening on and off since then. It actually has made things cooler but not by very much. In other words I was sorely disappointed in the storms.

Man I can’t believe it has been at least five days since the last entry. I did try to write a few days ago but never posted it. Probably because my hands have been hurting by the time I wanted to write.
Monday was the day the World found out Peter Jennings ABC News Anchor lost his battle with Lung cancer the day before. All week long there were tributes and follow up reports on Peter’s career and on lung cancer itself. Last night there was a two hour uninterrupted program on ABC. I watched only a part of it. What I did see of it was very touching and sad. I believe the week long tribute concluded in tonight’s broadcast.
Tuesday the Shuttle Discovery landed in California after a weather delay on Monday postponed it from landing in Florida. The future of the Shuttle flights is up in the air right now.
Dana Reeves, Christopher Reeves widow announced she had been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Over the last two days her outlook on her illness was revealed. It was also revealed that the tabloids were going to expose it for her. They are such scum bags.
On Thursday we found out that that a co-workers Mother had passed away. The wake was today in East Haven. It didn’t take me too long together but the traffic really was bad.
Afterwards I headed to Milford to meet with Roberta Rubinstein. She wanted me to have dinner with her (she was doing the secret shopper thing). We were supposed to be at the one in West Haven but she was running late so we decided to meet at the one on Bridgeport Avenue.
I was telling Roberta about the Yahoo Groups that I belong to. She had never heard of them. She also feels that I am stretching myself thin with the pen pals. (I had gotten a brief note from Amy P from PA asking if we are still pen pals.) Anyway, that’s what prompted Roberta to say that. I was also telling her about the Kevin Sorbo Fandom. She was awestruck I think.
Mom is still dealing with her leg. It continues to be a source of discomfort for her but she is expecting to see the DR next week. The heat seems to knock her out easily these days. We both think it’s the medication she is on as well.
She does manage to get to her meetings and to visit with family members who came from out of state today. She is asleep in front of the TV right now. We have some activities this weekend as well.
I am going to go to bed right now. I am barely keeping my eyes open and the rest of my body is aching right now…
Oh how cool is this? I just saw a flash of lightening and thunder (grin)

It is now after 2 and I have been up since before 8. I had some more weird dreams. I got online for a bit and then got ready for Bingo. Roxio player was working then stopped. I was afraid my Yanni CD would be stuck in there but just checked it and it came out. I gave out a big sigh of relieve.
Bingo went well. I had twelve people and gave out instructions and it went pretty smoothly. No loud fights but I was strict with them. Not Gestapo agent but enough so that people enjoyed it.
I went to church and sat on the side of the alter (the big room) and I left right before the homily started because some kids in the back of the room acted as though they were the only ones in the room. I don’t consider that the crying room. Then the door from the alter should have been closed.
I came home chatted with Sylvia and took Boppie for a walk and then came back and headed to the house for cereal. Saw the Dolan Girls. Mom was inside reading the paper and then got ready for the wedding.
The wedding is for one of the members of her boards. She is staying for the reception. She left around 1:30. I hope she is okay.
Well it is now 4:15 and I can’t believe how the time flew by. I spent it watching TV and finally finishing the letter to Edna. I just closed up the envelope.
It is just 7 at night. I spent the last few hours on the internet and working on organizing some of the files for the pen pals and eating. Mom isn’t home yet.
It has been two hours since I wrote last and in that time. Sylvia and I got some of the tomatoes pulled out of the garden. I have been checking the internet and watching TV. Mom isn’t home yet but I have lights on for her so she doesn’t get tripped up or anything.
It is now 20 of 10. Mom is home and getting into her pajamas. She had a great time despite the road delays. She was there as a guest not as a JP. I was surprised and kind of glad she wasn’t going as a JP because she would have had to stand.
I heard from Jennie tonight. The trip was postponed until the fall. She IM’d me because she got a very nasty email from someone in India who accused her of lying about the amount of postage. I just think it was a miscommunication. She reported him to yahoo and that was the right thing to do.
Well I am going to check some more emails and then hit the sack. I am glad Mom is home and safe. I told her about the Sylvia letting me know about the tomatoes being ready.

It is nearly 12 noon and I have had a busy morning. I slept until 8 and then got up worked on the Birthday list to the point where it is correct and revised. I have done laundry and gotten the bed made. I also attended the Sewer meeting over at Rosemary Court.
You see Woodmont is only one of few places in the city that has the septic system and the city wants to pay for it. They want to put the pumping station at the corner (or a short distance from the corner) at Rosemary Court and there is a little opposition to it. Patty Williams came up from Maryland for this to be with her Mother. I am not so sure that’s really necessary. She and her family don’t live here but at the same time I think I understand so that she isn’t taken advantage of either.
Mom is doing some of her stuff. She is going out to dinner tonight with her friend Martha and in the mean time has to prepare for the wedding ceremony she is officiating at tomorrow in Norwich.
It is a little before one. Mom is lying down and I had lunch. It was a pepper and tomato sandwich on toast. The multigrain one I think. I just saw Sylvia and Boppie and chatted with them and then I went and talked with the Dolan’s. They were heading to the beach.
It is just before 3 now and Mom and I went shopping nearly an hour ago. Mom had been calling me and I had not heard her until I saw her driving away. She stopped in front of the house actually and she told me shad been calling me for a little while. I quickly freshened up and went with her. We stopped at the Post Office and then headed to Costco. We didn’t get much but the whole time Mom had a really hard time walking. We ran into Arsenia and her family. Now Mom is downstairs preparing the strawberries and I am just relaxing.
It is after 6:30 Mom has gone to church and came back and got ready for dinner with her friend Martha. I got my dinner and watched TV. It seems there was another fatal plane crash this time in Italy. I don’t know the full details but I am sure I will soon. Okay it seems it was off the coast of Sicily and about 13 people have died.
It’s now after 8 and I haven’t been doing very much. I watched TV mostly and I tried to finish a letter to Edna. I am still working on it but I decided to watch TV instead. I tried to use the MSN Radio but I have no patience for it.
Mom is home she got home around 8:30. She brought leftovers. (Grin) It was lobster and shrimp. Guess what I am having for dinner tomorrow night. Mom was tired and has gotten into her pajamas and channel surfing downstairs. I have the last batch of laundry going.
I asked Mom what time she was leaving for the wedding tomorrow and she told me she has to leave around 1. She has to stop and get gas first and she will be bringing a change of clothes for the wedding ceremony.
Well it is after 10 and I just put the clothes in the dryer. I spent some time reading the entries at the Mydeardiary site. I had noticed some of my friends had recently updated and some haven’t in quite some time. I hope things are okay with them.
I have heard from the wonderful person who told Themis off last week. She is tired of the “whole me me” atmosphere. She encouraged me to join the Australian fan club because its so wonderful. I would but I don’t want to spend $35 or $40 on dues.
I think I am going to check the yahoo mail and then go to bed. I will have some time to write letters tomorrow. I am really looking forward to that.

It is nearly 10 of 7 and I am getting ready for work. I stayed in bed until 6. I was tired and when I woke up and saw fog I thought well it was okay to sleep a little longer. I have already taken my shower and will be ironing my clothes shortly.
Today is going to be a great day despite the weather. Today is payday which is good because I have some bills to pay. I am hoping today will be a light day for volume of mail because well it’s Friday and I have other stuff to do as well. Tonight after work is the YMG picnic at Harkness Hall. It’s for employees only no family members are invited. I am sure there will be a few who will blatantly break the rules but that’s really not for me to worry I realize.
I have to find a nice get well card for my friend Gina. She had the hip surgery and is recuperating in nursing and rehab center in WI.
Well I better get going I need to do some ironing before I go and I also have to empty the dehumidifier too.
It is now 8:49 and I have been home since 7. The day went well I finished the daily mail at a reasonable time which allowed me to work on other stuff. Like the bad addresses, and the personal mail. There is still a lot of the personal mail which I can do Monday. I am five days behind in the bad addresses. I shared the bags of chips that I brought from home. There is two bags still around I put them in strategic spots.
I had a close call today. It was after nine and I was showing the family reunion pictures to Ann and while I was doing that Lisa L walked in. Now she was the one up my ass earlier in the week when I was chatting with Melinda about a “few things”. I told Ann to go back to her seat and she wanted to go and get the other chips. I was afraid that Lisa went directly to Ouida and then Ann. Well I don’t think she did that after I talked with Ann. I told her exactly what happened. Now most people would say “Oh why did you do that?” Well for two reasons. One, so that Ann doesn’t get surprised and two, not only is Ann my supervisor but she is my friend and we have a friendship that is built on trust and honesty and I can learn a lot from her.
The rest of the day went with out incident. I helped move some files with Ann before leaving for the picnic. There was supposed to be over 100 people but there was over half that. It was cloudy and it started to rain around 6. Not really that hard but enough to move it indoors. The food was good and I did some dancing. I sat with a number of different groups. One of them was with Marianne Dess-Santoro. (Read Executive Director) The group also included Dottie C and Lisa G and Vheegee and some of the others from the Compliance Dept.
Since I have been home I wrote a letter to Debra and put the payment in it. Mom and I talked about doing too much in one night. I have to learn to do things such as my home stuff (the laundry, the room cleaning and other chores) before getting onto the computer. I do try to prioritize but it is not always easy. I guess it will take a lot of time.
I have not checked any of the journal writing lists at all today so I don’t know what’s been going on. I would imagine journaling prompts. On one of the lists the journaling prompt cards have returned. Each person mails prompts to the moderator (I am guessing) and they use those as prompts.
I was mostly visiting the Pen Pal groups on my yahoo address. A number of people (less than ten) are going on vacation for a few days with their families; a couple of others are in the process of moving to new locations. Kristina M is my pen pal and she will be going to Alaska with her husband to teach. This must be an exciting time for them. There were a couple of other pen pals that are dealing with an unexpected illness and it’s scary to them.
I didn’t spend too much time with the Netscape email and the lists that I have assigned to them. I know on the TV lists they are posting the different network schedules and premiere schedules. My original intent was to save those and look forward to the new season but I haven’t saved them at all.
Not much on the Kevin lists (except for maybe discussions about XENA). I did go to the forums (okay maybe one) and the discussion about GATECON is still prevalent. I haven’t been there since maybe noon time. I hope things have calmed a little. It has been a little stormy to say the least on that board and some of the members are oblivious to a lot of things.
Well I am going to say good night for now. I will see you all tomorrow sometime. In the meantime be cautious in this heat…

It is nearly 11 p.m. and I am heading to bed. The day started out pretty good. I did get up at 5 and started the sprinkler. I looked outside at one point and noticed it wasn’t hitting the plants. I went back out and fixed it. I think that was about the time I decided to do the garbage. Oh man I was spooked out of my mind. I opened the top and there were maggots all over the place! I brought the can out back and left it alone. I told Mom about it too. She suggested I use Clorox. I put the rest of the garbage out as well.
Mom got up just as I was ready to leave. We talked about the maggots that by this time had left and all that was left were ants. Thank you God! I hate those things and they were gross.
I got to work before 8 and brought some of the customer service mail to the office and then got to work on the bad addresses. I think I worked on them for about an hour and a half and then worked on the lockbox and the rest of the stuff. I made a dent on the bad addresses but still have a lot to go. The same goes for the bulk and the personal mail.
Through out the day checked the forums (the birthday present was closed). The baby news was feisty. Some feel that there isn’t enough sharing among the fans and there should be more and others feel that we should be happy with what we got. I am mixed about that. On one hand if you have news then tell us at the same time not everything is our business.
I got home by 4:30 Mom was watching TV and cooking dinner. It was pot roast and I had it around 5. Mom went to a meeting. I called Nelson and Liz and they were fine. Liz was on the computer so I emailed her too.
I revised the birthday list have to redo again. I made a few mistakes. I will have to do it tomorrow after the picnic. That’s only if I feel up to it.
I got my new box of personal checks today. I am very excited. I don’t have to use money orders for everything. I got a bank statement and some other stuff. Apparently it isn’t as important because I can’t remember it.
I cleaned up the kitchen before going to the meeting. I stopped by and got some goodies. I headed to Telka’s and met up with Dottie, Joyce, Angelina, then Allison arrived and then Jolyn and Roberta and then Allison’s Mom. Lucille came as well. We talked about our summer, activities in each others’ lives and then we had the meeting and we talked about the baby contest fundraisers for the year and moving our general meeting to Wednesdays until December. Telka has classes on Thursday. We stayed until 10 and I got home around 10:30.
Mom was surprised to see me at that time. She looked tired and worn out. The CPAC meeting went fine I am guessing. Now she is watching TV and I am going to post this and got to bed.

It is now twenty minutes before seven. I just got up and I am getting my bath ready and ironing my clothes for the day.
Dave called me from Boston last night. We talked until he had to leave for his flight to Fort Lauderdale. He knew I was pissed at him but it changed. He apparently has been working since he got back from Ireland. He has had several trips back to back and will be getting some time off at the end of the week. He wanted to get together Thursday and Friday but I have things to do both nights.
It is now almost 9:30 and the end of a pretty good day despite the fact it was humid. I got to work before eight leaving my lunch in the car (yuck).I got to the office and started working on the rest of yesterday’s mail and finishing that by mid morning. I started working on today’s mail after I got back from Debra’s and got that finished by 3. I made the request form for the charts before I left for the meeting.
The meeting seemed intense. I was pretty angry at some things. The way Mom had treated me. The ways things on the forum are going. I will go into it more in a moment. The fact I got spoken too by Shirley because of LL.
In the afternoon I was able to work on some more of the bad addresses and will do some more tomorrow along with the bulk mail and the readdressing mail. It’s not that much but it will be by the time I get to the mailbox tomorrow.
I got home a little after 4:30. Mom had dinner cooking it was going to be macaroni and sauce. It sounded delicious and tasted delicious. Mom wasn’t able to join me because she had a CPAC meeting to attend. After I ate I worked on weeding the flower beds. I am pretty proud of the work I did (even though it wasn’t a big thing). I still have a lot more to go on it but I was getting tired and dirty and hot.
I spent some time with Sylvia and Boppie. Sylvia had just gotten home from doing some chores and was letting him out. I picked Boppie up and hugged and kissed him and talked with him. The second time Boppie got crazy and I offered to walk him. Sylvia was tired. Boppie was getting a little aggressive with me but I am not very worried. I was trying to get him to heal and he did pretty good but has a long way to go. He definitely needs to be trained properly.
So what’s going on the SF-Fandom board? DinkyDI pretty much told people off (including clueless DM) in regards to their behavior about the baby announcement and the phone call. DM is acting as though she did absolute nothing wrong this entire time. I sent an email to dinky thanking her for her effort. I mentioned by name stargazer and DM. They do what they want, however they want and have no idea of the consequences. I really wanted to post stuff on there but I know that it would backfire and I really can’t because I pretty much did the same thing to Hawk. I wasn’t insisting but I was just curious.
Mom came home around 8 and has been on the computer and finished the pasta. We talked about her schedule tomorrow (I had told her about the phone call from D Stimpson) and she has a meeting at 5 and won’t be home for dinner. I told her I had the meeting for the Woman’s club and the fact I won’t be home for dinner for Friday.
I just got another email from Gina Mathias’ Husband. Gina is out of the hospital and recuperating in a nursing home for her hip replacement therapy. He gave us the telephone number and room number but it’s too late for me to call now.
Well the garbage is out and so are the weeds I pulled from the flower beds. I am going to do the rest of the garbage tomorrow.
I am going to take a bath right now though……

August 2, 2005
It is another beautiful morning and I haven’t been out of bed long. I have been awake since probably five but decided to stay in bed and relax. I had some weird dream that I can remember the bits and pieces of it. I didn’t recognize the people though.
After last night’s conversation about the legs and weight and Mom says I have the scale to tell me I hopped on it this morning and it read 216. That means I have lost 7 lbs!!!! I don’t know how I eat like it was being taken away from me. Maybe it’s because of the water I drink?
Well I will tell Mom about it when she wakes up or later when I am work. I better get back to the shower because it is getting late and I have a lot to do.
It is now after 5 and I have been home about 20 minutes or so. Today went pretty good. I told Mom about the weight loss and she was very encouraging. I got the dehumidifier emptied and headed to work.
I got to work by quarter of eight and started working on yesterday’s mail. I was done with it by the time today’s post office mail came. I didn’t get todays done but it was started. The only thing that would cloud it is the fact Lisa L (HMO I team leader) kind of got on my case via Shirley. She told Shirley was taking ten minutes (I was there 2) to talk when I had work to do. All Shirley did was reminding me and ask me to do a favor. I said I was letting Melinda know that I had mail and that it was coming. Shirley asked me how I did I know she was talking about that and I said because Lisa was virtually up my ass. I told a few people. I told Melinda after work while walking to the parking garage.
I did finally get to the bank at lunch time. I got the two money orders and have mailed off Debra’s and right now the insurance payment is ready to be mailed. I left the document home so I couldn’t mail it sooner.
Through out the day I was reading emails and checking the forums. It has been officially announced that Kevin and Sam Sorbo are going to have a baby girl in October. D-Chan was given permission by Stripe to post it to the forum. I had known it since my last visit to Mardi. I badgered her about it for an hour. That’s what I was so upset earlier last month because everyone at the SF-Fandom board was insisting she tell everyone. Kevin announced it at GATECON. I have no idea why Kevin wanted to keep it quiet this long. I don’t really care if it is because he was criticized for knowing about the boys. As it was pointed out Sam isn’t getting any younger.
When I got home Mom was watching the news. There was a report of a plane in Toronto that apparently skidded off the runway and crashed and caught fire. It has been going on for several hours now.
Mom and I talked about having dinner. She offered to make fish on the grill or we could have chicken salad sandwiches. I said its too hot to be cooking out on the grill and I am not really hungry right now.
I think I will go online and read some emails and then work on the letter to Edna Gordon. Mary from the lists liked my idea about just starting from the top of the pile and just writing them. I feel so much better about it. I like it when others who might or might not be in the same boat understand and encourage us to just write.

August 1, 2005
It is almost 9:30 and I am heading to bed. Today was a pretty busy day. I got up showered and dressed and did some other little chores that are really too boring to mention. I got online read some emails and then left shortly before 7:30.
I got to work by quarter of and started working on the Bad Addresses. I managed to count and log about 4 days worth of bad addresses. The lockbox didn’t arrive until 10 in the morning so I was working on the charts when they came. The charts took me an hour to check them in and deliver them. There were about 44 charts I think.
I went to visit Lee Ann and Dolette and a few others (Nina offered me coffee again this morning) and Lee Ann gave me some left over cake from Friday’s party. We talked about the pictures which I will post later on this week and some other 3-D art pictures she received. I also wished Alita Ford a Happy birthday and it was funny I did my serenade and shook my hips and then turned around and did my butt shake.
I had lunch from downstairs and it was a hummus wrap. It was delicious. I also had coffee which I shouldn’t have but maybe I will get to sleep just the same.
Other things that happened today were A few more people wanted to see “the girl w/no underwear”. I finally asked Thawana about it. She made an awful face. I spoke to Dottie about it (she had asked me about the party as well). She suggested the girl wears thongs.
After work I headed to Costco for gas and then on to West River to drop off the Baby contest flyers. I couldn’t find the woman who wanted them but I dropped them off at various places (read: Recreation room)
It was nearly 5:30 when I got back home. Mom was cooking dinner and watching TV. I got changed and chatted with her. I have to say I had gotten the feeling she was pissed off at me for some reason. Anything I said was met with “a touch of attitude”. Questioning and criticizing some stuff I had said. I really find that annoying. It is insulting and plain rude.
I got online throughout the afternoon and evening and checked emails and responded to some of them as well.
Jenny alerted me to her Yahoo 360 degree page and I got one myself. It has a blog and places for you to review things, lists of favorites etc. I think her also IM’d me apologizing for not getting together with her. I said no.
I sent an email to Mardi today. I asked her how she was doing how her Mom was doing and by the time I got to work she had answered me. She is very awesome. Anyway, she was up at her parent’s house for the family reunion that concluded Sunday. She had a lot of fun. She said she would be coming home today. We also mentioned DM and how annoying she can be.
I finally mailed the letter to Kristina Morse. I just posted to all the lists that I mailed it. I also included my feelings about doing that. I was really uncomfortable because I really don’t like announcing when I mail letters out because I am afraid people’s feelings will be hurt.
Well we will see…
I guess I am going to check out WEBMD (mom’s suggestion) regarding the calcium deposits. “How do you know you have it? Who told you.” Tha

July 31, 2005
Well it is the end of a pretty good day. I did wake up with a nasty little headache but I managed to stay in bed until eight. That’s when I got up and started getting ready for my day at Great River (AKA Mediplex). I said good morning to Mom and got some aspirin and then took the shower.
After my shower the headache was gone and I was getting dressed and getting online for a bit to check emails. I stayed online until quarter after 9. I left then for the nursing home.
I got to the nursing home by 9:30. Some of the residents were already there and Natalie was in her office on the computer. We talked about everything. The coffee, the status of some of the patients (to be frank it was Mrs. Nichols), Natalie’s Vacation which is fast approaching. She says she is going to the New Jersey shore. Sounds like fun. I always wondered what it was about the New Jersey shores that you couldn’t get here. I guess it’s because it is on the Atlantic Ocean as opposed to a sound like here.
The next hour was filled with games, some disgruntled residents and some pretty good winners. I was hoping to try another approach. I was trying to be peaceful and not argumentative and patient with them. Some of them were certainly not patient with the others. I left the place by 11:30. As I was leaving I saw Allison P. She was bringing a meal for Ralph our adopted veteran. We chatted about the club activities and the expectation for a meeting sometime in the upcoming week. Then we left and went our separate ways.
When I came home Donny came by with a printout from Circuit City with the information for a new CD player. He wanted Mom to see it so that she could go and get it since the other was broken. Donny took a look at it yesterday. We also talked about Passion of Christ and if Mom had seen it. I told him that it was really difficult for her to watch and that I was certain she would get to see it. We also discussed some of the weird things that happened during the filming of the movie. After a few minutes we went our separate ways. Mom was in the shower so I left the printout on her desk. I told her about it and then went downstairs to watch TV for a bit.
After watching TV for a bit I put the sprinkler on in the flower beds. At one point mom suggested I put it on some of the flower beds out front. Once I did that I came back upstairs and checked emails and stuff like that.
It was nearly 1 when we left for the picnic. Bob came out of the house as we came into the yard and we chatted and walked around. Ethel was showering and John was just coming down the stairs. He looked great. He had the beginnings of a beard. It was kind of funny to see him with it. Over the next four hours we ate and talked and visited with them and some of their old neighbors who were coming from Branford.
AT one point the couple’s children were getting tired and young Jake was stung by a bee right above his breast (or other nipple). I picked him up and carried him to the chair and all of us (especially john) comforted him and took care of the sting. John suggested we put ice on it every five minutes (I sat with him and applied it). After a while he was fine. His father was very grateful that I was there for him. Jake is a cute kid. By the time we left it had gotten very windy and very cold so Mom and I came home. The temperature got a little warmer and not as windy. There was some evidence of the windy around the wetlands.
Since we have been home we watched TV, got online, chatted with neighbors. Even talked to John Armellino who I haven’t’ seen in a while. He is married and has five-month old son. He is in Real Estate and we talked about the neighborhood and old neighbors. I also got some laundry done, and watched TV. I managed to start a letter to Edna Gordon. I may have to work on it some more when I get home tomorrow night.
Now I think I am going to bed….see you tomorrow.
