There are three festivals going on in the area. They are The Walnut Beach festival, The Woodmont Day, and the Savin Rock Festival. The Walnut Beach one is tomorrow and the Woodmont Day and Savin Rock Festival is today. I am going to the Savin Rock Festival to hear Gayle’s friend Eugene play with the 5 Satins.
The Woodmont Day festival is basically one huge block party. Streets around the park are closed off to most vehicle traffic and there are games, rides, and food. I have been to it over the years both as a participant and volunteer. It was fun.
Before I do that though I need to work and hopefully get stuff done at home. I have already cleared the area for the guys to install new electrical stuff. I probably will be online through out the morning.

Does this ever happen to you?
You go around telling your self and others who will listen that things are great and wonderful and that you are happy with your life, job, and relationships? Then all of a sudden something happens and for quick moment it changes? Well it happened to me today. Things with my family are fine. Things got a little shaky at work today. Not shaky enough to lose my job (at least I don’t think so) but it caused me to panic.
Do you remember me writing about some of the aspects of my job that entails the mail? I am supposed to get mail from the lobby and open and stamp it and give it to the persons it supposed to get it. Well this morning my manager sent an email to Gayle informing her that the finance department received mail that was post marked July 8 yesterday. I had gotten the mail from the Psychiatry office on the 9th Floor. They had gotten ours by accident. The girl told me that she only comes down once a week (apparently it’s been a while since she did it). I even checked to make sure that I had gotten our mail from that day or days following. I couldn’t help but feel I may have messed up. Gayle reassured me and apparently Sue emailed them upstairs and requested that anytime they get our mail to bring it to us or downstairs to the lobby so it could be redirected. I have been making sure that if I have mail that I take it to the floors necessary. As I said it worked itself out and hasn’t heard anything more about it. It just reminds me to be cautious no matter what happens.
The rest of the day I got the mail done. I worked on the readdress stuff and that pile is going down. There is a bin of junk mail that I need to go through to make sure there is nothing in it and see if it really needs to go to the addressed or it is “junk mail”. Some of it is magazines, catalogs; I am probably going to have to toss those very soon.
We had birthday cake for Annette today. She turns 50 on Sunday. Toni D who turned 50 back in November 2009 is going to come in either tomorrow or Sunday and decorate her cubicle. I offered to help decorate it with her.
I worked until 6. However I had to wait until CD finished doing her work she was working on something extra or in addition to her normal tasks. Something the others either don’t know about or don’t care. They tend to feel she doesn’t pull her weight. I don’t agree. I spent the time waiting chatting with Gayle about her bird it was too funny. I also got online for a bit.
The ride home was fine it was a bit sluggish through the Long Wharf section of New Haven. I was really glad I wasn’t on the northbound side of the highway because there was a six mile back up.
Mom had dinner ready for us to sit down to. I was really glad because I was freaking hungry. I had a late breakfast but nothing else but the cake. We watched the news while we ate. We talked about our day. She was still trying to get things back in order and to repaint and repair the various door knobs around the house.
After dinner I started laundry. As a matter of fact I just put it in the dryer to dry and hopefully it will be out soon. I will do more tomorrow before going to the festival tomorrow.
That’s right The Savin Rock Festival is on this weekend and Gayle’s friend Eugene is playing with the Five Satins. I told her I would go and watch them perform. I really want to do this since I missed the last concert in New Haven. I called Dave and invited him to come with me but I am not sure if he can. He called back earlier today and said he is doing something tomorrow.
I think I am going to go to bed. I am going to try and get up early before going to work tomorrow and make sure the room is in order for the electrician to do his work. He is supposed to be here around 9.

What a Day
I am ready to leave the house and have put the garbage out for pick up. I woke Mom up to make sure she didn’t have to be up (she looked really cute trying to remember if she needed to be up). I drive to work and park the car and find out the ID holder with every thing in it was still at home somewhere. I found it later in the pants I wore yesterday.
I got almost everything done today. I say almost everything the mail from the lobby was delivered late so after the third trip down I didn’t bother going back. I had planned on getting it tomorrow when I arrived. However, that changed when I found it on my desk before leaving for the night. Thank you to the Mail fairy.
I got home around 6:30. Mom was exhausted and just getting dinner ready. She had been attempting or trying to put new door knobs on and had some trouble with it. She even asked our neighbor Sean to help. It wasn’t a huge success. As I write this the bathroom door has no door handles.
Mom was unsure if we would go to DTC or not. I was not anxious to go either because I hadn’t finished the minutes from last week. Admittedly I was afraid Mom would be very upset but she wasn’t... I explained I had a hard time trying to write some thing up just based on the outline that Phil gave me. I have never been able to understand how anyone could write a report or article based on an outline.
Anyway the meeting was about hour half. It was your basic membership meeting with reports from the various boards, committees that are charged with running the city. NO I am not going into detail I can’t do that here and besides any political blog and newspaper online would be the ones to help. The one thing we are doing is preparing for the Democratic Primary on August 10. If your state, town or city is having challenged elections this year be sure to let your voice be heard in your primaries it is important.
After the meeting we came home and I tried on a pair of the pants we bought at Talbots last weekend to see where the hem needs to be. Mom and then got into our pajamas and watched NCIS for a bit. Actually the second hour of it is still on but I want to get to sleep.
Tomorrow I will be working until 6 and then come home and do laundry and the minutes and of course making sure the room is accessible for the electrician on Saturday. He is supposed to be here by 9.
Okay well have a great night everyone be safe!

incredibly tired
I am incredibly tired right now. It’s been a busy day. I got up at a decent hour and got ready for work. I woke up to USA’s NCIS marathon so it was pretty cool to start the day and right now end the day the same way.
I had a decent day at work. I had my eye doctor’s appointment and that went well too. Despite the fact my eyes were dilated for most of the afternoon. Not really up there on the fun things to do list. I stayed until 6 for OT and then picked up the medication Dr. Martin prescribed. I took them about three hours ago and so far they are doing wonders
Mom I suspect is sleeping in front of the TV as I write this. She had gotten home a few minutes before I did and admitted she was exhausted. She had meetings and lunch with the Knitwit crew in Branford. She worked did some phone banking (political jargon for calling potential voters to get an idea of how the turn out will be on August 10.

Early in the Morning
I decided last night to get up very early this morning to work on the 4th District Minutes before going to work. I was having such a hard time this month with them. I am trying to put into words from Phil’s outline and my own notes. I did so well last month I want them to be equally as good if not better then last month. Those plans went south when I didn't go to sleep until 2 am.
I also want to make sure the room is decent shape for the electrician that will be here this afternoon. Mom told me last night he will be here around 4 pm while she is at a meeting. I am not sure exactly how this is going to work but I guess he has to go up to the attic to reinforce power to the outlets here in my room and in Mom’s office. Apparently we don’t have enough sockets for the stuff we use (isn’t that what a power strip is for?). I will move some of the piles of books and video cases that have been on my desk to my bed as well as the CD holder and stuff out of the way.
I have a staff meeting to attend today. I can’t remember the last time we had one. I think it was before Gayle got sick and she has been so busy with work and her own health issues. She did have one last week with the Cash Posters when something came up. I am not sure what it was but someone or several persons made a mistake or two or….
I see Dr. Martin this afternoon. I will let him know (if he doesn’t already) that I sprained my ankle and that I went to see Dr. Zell and have been having PT. Oh god I have to still call Will tomorrow. I hope he will let me do PT at 5:30 instead of our regular time. I have to tell him I have the Visual Field Test and an eye doctor appointment tomorrow.
Yeah I guess you can say I am going to be busy today. So is Mom. She tells me she has meetings all day up until 5 or 6 and in between all that she is performing a wedding here this afternoon at 12. She says she won’t be here when the electrician will be here. I know many people would be saying “well he shouldn’t be there and you need to reschedule”. We will see what happens. Just as long as it isn’t as humid as it was on Saturday.
Some of the other things I did last night other were kind of fun. I gave myself a new profile picture on Facebook; I paid my car insurance (whoopee) and reset my password on my online banking. I messed it up somehow yesterday (one of the security questions wasn’t answered right).
Uh don’t know if Mom knows it yet but my Niece Diane has salmonella poisoning and she has been in the hospital in Cambodia. The last we heard is she calls almost every day. I think it was rather wise for her parents not to say anything.
Now that I think of it I don’t think Mom’s been on Facebook in quite sometime I had to tell her that Emily and Jamie got back from camp this weekend. She asked me how I knew and I had to tell her Emily posted it on her page. If Mom had known she would have seen all my postings. At least I think she would have. I am really not complaining because I probably wouldn’t hear the end of it.
Well I am going to sign off and go watch NCIS.

Ended up with a migraine
Yesterday was one of those days. I could feel a headache coming on and it didn’t go away until maybe last night. It got worse once I got home from my morning activities. I didn’t eat anything so I had my ibuprofen. I slept for nearly an hour and then got sick. I showered and then went back to sleep for another two hours. It really freaks me out how much time passes when you get sick like that.
Once I got up and Mom came home from her own shopping trips we went to Talbots Outlet store (in Orange) and got some new clothes for me. They could be worn now and into the fall season. Some new tops and pants in various colors. After we finished there we went to Trader Joe’s for shampoo.
We headed o Texas Roadhouse for dinner. There was a 20 minute wait and then we were seated and waited on by Cam (short for Cameron). We had 6 oz steak with baked potatoes. We had the house salad with Ptarmigan Peppercorn that caused me to choke a little. That has not happened to be I think at all. While we were there we saw my Brother Bob and his family. We sat with them before the main course came and we talked about John’s trip to North Korea. Now this is the part we don’t understand. He is not going with his current unit but he is going by him self. I just don’t understand it. I guess he will be there working with another unit.
It was nearly 7 when we got home. The sun was out and the temperature seemed much cooler then earlier in the day. The rest of the night I watched a little of the NCIS marathon and then went to bed early.
Today was a normal work day for me. I met with Debra after work and then came home. I tried to worked on the district meeting minutes since I didn’t work on them yesterday.
This week is full of appointments and I don’t know if I can work OT except for Wednesday and Friday. I hope so.
I better get to bed…see you all later.

I was cleaning out some of the mailboxes
Since it was too hot to do much of anything and there wasn’t much on TV. I wasn’t really interested in seeing Juno, or Da Vinci Code. I decided to clean out some of my mailboxes of old emails.
Some that I came across were from two years ago and most of them were from the pen pal groups. They basically were chatting about board games they play. Most of the games they mentioned were ones I had either played myself or knew of. I don’t remember having monopoly but I had the game of Life. It is funny as each of those games has evolved to reflect the times we live in. It has been a while since I actually saw the board games but if I am not mistaken there are several different versions of Monopoly and the game pieces are different then I remember. The same can be said for Life.
Some of the other emails were members replying to my message about Mom going to have her back surgery. They were sending good thoughts and prayers. I didn’t keep them because they were through the list and my resolve to only save emails either directly to me or jokes or thoughts of the day or something that was interesting.
While I was clearing out the emails I realized I haven’t worked on the minutes from Thursday’s meeting. I have also to write a message to the group about the lack of attendance to the district meetings. I am not really sure how to approach attendance and the important elections coming up. I may ask Mom for some help with that.
I hope the AC is working at the nursing home today. I may have some help with a young man named Bryan and Paloma has a birthday party to go to I think. I think Natalie is supposed to be working today I will know for sure when I get there.
Well the thunderstorm came through last night. I could hear it around 1 or 1:30. Mom had just gone to bed and so I went through the house and closed all the windows. The thunder made me jump a few times. As soon as I got back to the room I shut down the computer and pulled all the pillows to the center of the bed. The bed is literally at the back window of my room. I remembered all the warnings and reports that people get struck by lightening in all odd ways. I didn’t want to take any chances.
Its time for me to get ready for bingo….cya later.

A Real Scorcher
It is another scorcher of a day. It was 80 degrees when I elft for work this morning. By the time I left the office it was nearly 90. It was over 90 when I got to Milford. I have the AC on right now. Thunderstorms are predicted for later on tonight. At least I am hoping because I do see the clouds rolling in even though the sun is out.
Today went very well. I got up fairly early got the desk “sort of cleared” so the electrician could work his magic. I put up the blinds in the side window. I would find out later the electrician would not be coming because it would be too hot in the attic. I guess he has to do the electrical work through the attic. Now I have to go to various spots in this room and get the things out.
I got to work a little after 8 and started on the scanning. I also got online a lot. I did a lot of tweeting. I got on facebook a few times and checked out some of the NCIS Forums.
This afternoon when I got home I called Bob to see if John was home but alas he wasn’t. He was in NY. Bob says he should be home sometime today. I told him I wanted to stop by and visit he said he would probably stop by sometime before going back to Fort Benning.
Mom came home an hour later from shopping. She was discouraged she didn’t get much in the way of food but personally I ithnk we have enough. She did some other type of shopping too. She went to the 4 o’clock mass and got home around 5:30
I am not doing very much except laundry, watching TV, and surfing the net. I am going to have the rest of Mom’s Chinese food for dinner tonight. I might get rid of some old papers and emails and documents that I don’t need.

Hectic Friday
Today was incredibly hectic for me. I had a short day at work and of course it started out very late for me. I hemmed and hawed about getting out of the bed and raced around to do things such as get the bed made, showering, doing some ironing. I got online when I should have been getting dressed and out the door.
I got the mail done and all that’s left is the bad addresses to be tallied. While I was doing that Susan comes to me and asks me to update the staff list/mail slot list. I asked her if I could do it tomorrow but she really didn’t want me to so I hopped up and got it done. Yea me!
It started raining mid morning and kept on going until I arrived at the doctor’s office this afternoon. This made driving annoying and slow. I left the office quarter of three got to the garage by 3 and was on the road a short while later but the lights and traffic like I said was slow.
While I waited I ran into Judge Beverly. She looked great. WE chatted about family and activities. I told her my reasons for being there then she had to leave. A few minutes later I was brought into the exam room. 15 minutes later the Doctor came in and looked at it and released me. Telling me he would be available if needed (like cortisone). He recommended Physical therapy when needed. I am going to go next week and the week after and then I will be done.
When I got home Mom was putting up more pictures and the shades. She had to buy some equipment because it was hard for it to it manually. After awhile she couldn’t do anymore because the drill needed to be charged.
Around 5:30 we decided that we would have Chinese take out for dinner. I went and picked it up and we finished with it before the 7 o’clock news. She wasn’t overly thrilled with it and it satisfied me.
Mom says the electrician will be here around 9 am tomorrow. I am not sure exactly what he will do (put a stronger outlet probably) but it should be helpful.
I am going to bed earlier then usual tonight I am going to work tomorrow.

When I got home Mom was putting up more pictures and the shades. She had to buy some equipment because it was hard for it to it manually. After awhile she couldn’t do anymore because the drill needed to be charged.
Around 5:30 we decided that we would have Chinese take out for dinner. I went and picked it up and we finished with it before the 7 o’clock news. She wasn’t overly thrilled with it and it satisfied me.
Mom says the electrician will be here around 9 am tomorrow. I am not sure exactly what he will do (put a stronger outlet probably) but it should be helpful.
I am going to bed earlier then usual tonight I am going to work tomorrow.

A fun way to start the day
Mom sent me a really funny video last night and it really was a great way to start the day. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
Today is going to be a very busy day for me. After work I have PT and then tonight the 4th district meeting. It seems like for ever since we had the last one so it will be great to see everyone. I have already set up the template for this months meeting.
After that I am going to watch at least part of the NCIS back to back episodes on ION. One is from season 3 entitled Bloodbath and the other is Singled Out from 4th Season.
Well it is getting late and I still have to put the garbage pails around back before leaving for work.

Didn't get the Tornado
There was a tornado watch for New Haven County earlier today but happily nothing came of it. All we got was severe thunderstorms. There was cool lightening and of course the thunder. It thundered some more by the time I got home. I am not so sure that it cooled anything down.
Work went well. I got a lot done. I still have medical authorizations to send to the doctors (got a whole new batch today) and of course the rest of the readdress mail to do. OT on the other hand was not that productive. We got silly and chatty.
As soon as the storm subsides the rest of the garbage and recyclables will be put out for tomorrow’s garbage. I hope it won’t too long because I would like to watch the rest of the NCIS marathon that’s on tonight.
I got my newest batch of stockings from Silkies. Unfortunately they were not the knee highs I asked for. I am going to have to go to their site and re-order them. I was certain I made the change last month.
Did anyone see the ABC interview with the creator and owner of Facebook? They discussed the whole privacy issues and I am satisfied with what they plan on doing or not doing as the case may be. Basically its common sense and he and his company is giving its members the option to do that. However I really thought Diane interrupted him too much. Actually they all do at some point. This is probably why I don’t watch them often.
Okay got to go. “Twisted Sister” is on as part of the marathon…and I enjoy watching it

Awesome Day
Today’s entry will be short as I am tired and I want to do some stuff before going to bed. Anyway, today was awesome. I was able to mail the credit card payment before going to work and was able to work on time. The volume of the mail was somewhat light but I still have some lockbox to finish in the morning.
The rest of the IT department known as CIS is moving over to the office tomorrow. I am not sure what that means exactly but I think it has to do with the fact that some of the teams are now working on a new system. According to Betty it’s like working on the old Bullet system (a computer system before IDX). Some of the insurance and follow up reps are having a time understanding it even with the training. It looks like the same system that the hospital uses.
I went on a 30 minute walk with Terry today and on the way back tripped over a section of the sidewalk and went flying luckily I recovered nicely. It hurt my foot for a while. It felt good to go on it though.
The PT session went very well also he had me do a few new stretches and he was very satisfied. Motion is getting better and now he says there will probably be two or three more weeks of PT. He did recommend I don’t over do the walking. That sounded fine to me.
I spent some time with Liz and Nelson today. They were just a little tired because they have been entertaining Jason and Audrey for the last couple of days and they will be until Thursday. It was too funny I called earlier today and Audrey answered the phone “...But the phone was ringing”.
Today I called the credit card company to let them know they can expect a payment in a couple of days. Well it turns out I owed more than I sent so I made phone payment. The whole thing took about 20 minutes or so. I let them know I didn’t appreciate the three phone calls in a row last night. He said it was necessary so that my account wouldn’t get fined. Whatever!
Mom came home around 7 from her meeting and reception. She looked and felt tired. She had been really busy all day putting things back and setting everything up. I don’t know if hse is doing anymore tonight but she does have to go out in the morning and perhaps do some volunteering for Rosa DeLauro’s campaign.
Okay I am getting tired now and I have another long day ahead of me. I will see you in the morning.

July 19, 2010
Aw Saturday night one of my journaling list buddies announced she and her husband are pregnant after five years of trying. Everyone the list sent congratulatory emails. That’s wonderful news for her.
Today was an excellent day. Despite the fact that I left the house late and got caught in a traffic tie up from an accident ten minutes earlier. Happily the tie didn’t last very long and there was no evidence of an accident. I hope no one was seriously hurt. We had a birthday party for Tevis and he was flattered that we sung to him. It wasn’t the usual birthday song but one that Barbara M would sing. It was a spiritual one if you can understand it.
It rained a couple of times today. First by 10 AM but I don’t think it cooled anything off. The second time was around 6. It lasted for about an hour and it may have cooled the temperatures a little.
Mom is currently putting things back in their place. Andy the head painter came and put up some stuff. Unfortunately he put the drawing of Dad up to high in the stairwell. Mom is going to have to move it down about 6 inches.
My session with Debra went by so quickly. I wanted to tell her how things were resolved from last week with Mom about the text message. She was glad to hear that it had been. I told her about the week’s events. We will be meeting next week but the following week we will not.
Oh God Chase Credit Card called me three times within 15 minutes of each other. The final time I told them to not call me again that I would be making the payment and that if they called me again I would cancel the card and sue them. I wrote a letter along with the payment and asked them why they had to call me three times afer I said I would take care of it? So as soon as the final call was done (I hung up on them) I got the letter printed up the check written out and its waiting to be mailed. I looked at the statement and the payment was due yesterday. I hope they do not call me back again.
I am starting to get really tired so I am going to go to sleep I will see you tomorrow.

Might Not
It is just after 4 and I should be in Milford center working for Democratic Candidate for Governor Dan Malloy’s campaign but Mike and Tessa suggested I wait until they get to the office and see who is coming to volunteer before I drive down there. Actually the was jolly good debate going back and forth about “well I could go and meet you there” then it was decided I could wait until they call back. Actually they should be arriving shortly to drop Mom off. They called just as I was about to leave.
My arms and legs and knees are still achy from yesterday I guess. I know I had a lot of cheese (huge source of salt). The party was excellent. I had a great time and managed to swim for 10 minutes. There were about 10 of us I think. We talked about travelling and about work. I think most of them were teachers and mixture of John and Telka’s friends. I found out that Telka and John are leaving for Hawaii on Friday. Their son will be watching the pups while they are gone. We got back to the house by 6.
The rest of the night I watched a little of the NCIS marathon. I also put the sheets and comforter from the guest room into the wash. I was really tired and ended up going to sleep.
I got up early this morning and got the bed in the guest room ready and then went back to bed for a while. I got ready for bingo between 8 and 9 and was at the nursing home quarter after. I was really happy that Angie was there because the closet door was already opened and I didn’t need to do it.
I served coffee to the residents and then took some time to visit Roberta’s (and for intensive purposes mine) friend Dan. We talked about the critters we have around our house. He lives in West Haven and not very far from me. We talked about the deer, the wild turkeys, and the pets his family had over the years. He looked a whole lot better then the last time I saw him.
We had a full house for bingo. Chris a fairly new volunteer and her BF came to help out. She helped Angie as well as serving coffee with me and Bryan who had to come via train from Fairfield helped me with Annie and transporting the residents. Our resident Centurion Margaret was not her peppy self. I don’t have any concrete evidence but I will be surprised if she makes it to her 101st birthday next December.
The Dolans came home this afternoon. I gave them some time to settle in (they were unpacking the car and the camper) and then I went to see them. I gave Finian his tennis ball and we sat and talked about the wonderful trip. Finian had an injured foot but the vet did an awesome job on it (it became abscessed). We talked about the alarm going off. They weren’t really worried about it but figured something fell and that’s what triggered it.
Well it looks like there won’t be any volunteering today or tonight. Mike and Mom came home and we talked for a bit about the party for Congresswoman Rosa DeLaura’s kick off party. He thanked me for the help. I am going to do some more laundry and watch TV.

Got up early
I decided that it would be prudent for me to get up bright and early this morning and get my laundry started as the guys were going to be here sometime after 8 am to finish the painting job. That would be the room formerly known as the blue room. Did I tell you they took up the rug in the study? Mom loves it. Unfortunately would cost even more money to refinish it. Oh and didn’t I tell you the painting job would be done by the end of the week? What I didn’t tell you was only the living room and the stairwell and the upstairs hallway was done as well as the first two rooms. As I said to Mom last night I had told Dave the entire downstairs was going to be done.
I received a strange phone call around 9:30 last night. Someone wanted to do a survey or poll. I cut the guy off before he could go any further. He started to apologize for the late hour and I told him he was right and that I am not interested and that he lost the opportunity. I ended up hanging up on him. I posted to my twitter page and to my Facebook page as well. I had some interesting responses.
I have been perusing some of my favorite blogs and one of them is the :: THE BIG E :: The Blog talked about things that were going on right now on the fairgrounds as well as the webpage being renovated. The website is really cool (I always like to see what they have done to the site) and the blog discusses which of the acts have been signed up for the week. The entry I read today discussed the revisions of the website. One is for the actual thirteen day fair and the other sites will focus on the year round activities held there. The other one is about the village as well.
Mom got up around 8 and was in a hurry to be dressed and ready for the guys’ arrival. She made plans to help out at Mike and Tessa’s office for Dan Malloy this morning. I am doing my bit tomorrow afternoon after church. She was so tired and achy. I know she did a lot of painting last night.

I had a few minor aggravations today
First one this morning in that Mom tells me the electrician is coming Monday or tuesday to put in new electrical sockets in my room that there is too many of the power strips. WTF? I don't want anyone here. It isn't doing anything wrong. She says its dangerous. What do you propose? A whole wall with electrical sockets? Everything I need is fucking right here. Using the other socket on the other wall is out of the question. The bed is in the way for one. They will also be replacing the electrical socket in the bathroom. I am not understanding the reason for that but as mom says let them do it.
Work went well. I got my the mail all done and of course I have the extra stuff to be done. I got some scanning done for two hours. I remind the remaining troops that in six days LG would be returning. To be honest she is not well liked and we are not exactly excited over this. Sue came back unofficially today. i guess there were many reports to be done. Monday was her official day.
There was an accident on the highway so I took the shoreline way. Its been a long time since it took me so long to get home from work. There have been times where it took me nearly an hour to get to work and that was because of accidents.
My leg is bothering me a little near the knee. Both of my arms are hurting tonight. I am not sure if it was the pulled pork on tostado in chipolte sauce or the weather but I am going to have to take something for it.

Thankful Thursday
Today is going to be my Thankful Thursday entry:
I am thankful for:
Ø My Family for all their quirks and outlooks on life.
Ø A job I enjoy doing even though it has some frustrations such as returning mail to me that doesn’t belong to me or them. This job provides me sustenance to do the things I would like to do.
Ø My home that provides shelter in all kinds of weather all year long.
Ø My car that can get me to and from work. It can get me to places I need to go and want to go.
Ø My therapist Debra who has brought me to a level of growth and understanding about myself.
Ø My friends who like me for me despite my faults and they bring out the best in me.
Well shortly after I wrote these up and as I went to go online I discovered I can’t it seems Mom’s computer has been disconnected in all this confusion for the painting. I suggested Donny and she said no. I will be watching NCIS all night or going to bed pretty soon. I won’t be able to post this until tomorrow anyway.
Update: After I told Mom was I unable to get online because I was getting “can’t locate server she was positive it was something in here. I explained to her that it wasn’t the case that I am also hooked up with the DSL through the tower. She had forgotten. So happily I am online again whooohoo.
The Paint job is coming along very nicely. The blue room is going to take longer and probably more money. I am not sure exactly what the problem is but I hope it won’t be too bad.
I don’t know how much longer I will be up I am really tired. The PT session went by very quickly and I did pretty well. He wants me to do the exercises with the towel (stretching from the bottom and pulling them. He says my ankle is getting stronger but still needs more work for the motion.
I will see you tomorrow.

Lots of rain
We have been getting rain for the past two days. It would start off light and not helpful at all then all of a sudden it would pour. When I left work on Tuesday driving was difficult for many. The windows fogged up and the rain would just not move from the windows or windshield. It stopped for a while then it started up again last night. We really needed it though.
I had a good day at work. I was able to stay for OT and made some progress with that as well. I won’t be able to stay tomorrow because I have Physical therapy after work. We are having a party for Tevis on Monday for his birthday.
The painting is moving a long. They have started to remove the paper in the guest room and have almost finished the downstairs. I asked Mom if they would be doing the bathroom downstairs and she said no. I know I had said the job would probably be done by the end of the week but now I am not so sure. I think next week the latest. Mom has some ideas about having the TV on the top of the small dresser that’s beside the bed in there now. I am not sure it would work.
I finally got a hold of Roberta tonight. I tried earlier this morning but she was probably a little busy with work. She said she would talk to Telka about the picnic this weekend. When she called back she told me it was going to be for two days (as in the past) and it would be from 12-5. Roberta will pick me up at noon.
Well its time for me to hit the sack….will see ya tomorrow.

Busy start to the week
It has been busy start to the week. As you know this week the painters started the paint job and have been doing an awesome job. They ran into a few electrical problems so the electrician came today. They saw a deer in the back yard and told Mom about it.
Work has been going really well. I have managed to get as much as I can done each day and if I don’t then I finish it the next day. I make sure if I get campus mail for other departments they get to those departments by the end of the day.
Several people came back to work earlier this week from vacations, and maternity leave. That’s right Becky came back this week and looks just great. The kids are at day care and quickly getting readjusted to Mom going back to work.
I had my PT today and the guy was great. You can read about it here. It has made me more tired than usual. I am going to go to bed a lot earlier than usual.

Mom and I had an argument
Morning I am just getting ready for work. This is a good thing because in about two hours the painters will be here to start the paint job. He called mid afternoon yesterday and told Mom when he would be arriving. Mom and I took some stuff down in the hallways and downstairs. Actually I did the pictures in the stairwell of Dad and Bob’s Family and the other pictures we had in the hallway.
Mom and I had a disagreement yesterday over campaigning contributions and the text that Mike sent me “urging” me to give $100. I had told Mom I really didn’t like it and she jumped all over me and told me to grow up. I walked away. I talked to her about it before I left for work this morning and we started (or I started) to argue about it. I walked away in anger and said some things. She didn’t hear it but I told a few people at work and when I met up with Debra this afternoon I told her about it. She said walking away was an adult thing to do.
When I got home Mom and I talked about it again and it was a much better at it. She heard me and what I had to say. I showed her the text message and she agreed it wasn’t an appropriate and she would talk to Town Chairman about it.

She didn’t hear it but I told a few people at work and when I met up with Debra this afternoon I told her about it. She said walking away was an adult thing to do.
When I got home Mom and I talked about it again and it was a much better at it. She heard me and what I had to say. I showed her the text message and she agreed it wasn’t an appropriate and she would talk to Town Chairman about it.

Still Hot
Hey everyone it is after 1:30 and the temperatures here are 83 to 85 degrees out. There is a really nice breeze too. I am still running the AC in the bedroom and the fan in the blue room for now.
Mom went out to run some errands. Yesterday she bought one of those wooden flagpoles and neither of us knew how to put it together. The clips were all at the top and we didn’t know what to do with it. It was getting me aggravated so I let Mom work on it. She couldn’t do any better. So she was going to go to Lowes or Home Depot and have THEM help her with it. She even was thinking of getting Bob to do it for her.
Bingo went well I had a full house (probably 15 or 20 people). The games went a little longer then they should have been I know I get distracted when people come in and want to play. I got to the home my usual time and set up the coffee and had breakfast from D&D. Natalie worked today she had some paperwork and stuff to do.
I was late for church again but I made in time for the homily. I sat behind Marisa and her family and got a chance to talk to them after mass. They have been busy but Marisa promised that she would be coming back once school started up again. Father Nathan introduced the newest altar server today and asked everyone to applaud the young man’s excellent job. Of course everyone did so.
I finally put the two tubs that have been sitting in the blue room with my winter clothes upstairs. I figured that by the time they got up there it would be time to bring them down again.
Well the NCIS Marathon is starting shortly and I am not that fond of the first two so I think I will get rid of some more of these papers and emails I have set myself up for.

I can't believe how stupid I feel
I knew I should have gone to the bank last night! I am supposed to be getting my hair done in about 4 hours and I need to get money. The bank here in New Haven doesn't have lobby hours. That means I have to back to Milford then come back to work!!! I was hoping that the salon would take a check but common sense tells me no.
Oh well if people can leave to go to lunches and stuff then I can do that. I am hoping it won't be very long. Maybe I can go to the west haven office? God I don't know...we will see.
Mom's got a lunch with the Bible Study this afternoon so she is making potatoes. Hell I want to go there!
Mom started taking down the pictures from the living room walls yesterday in preparation for the painting job that is going to start on Monday. I was talking to Mom about it before leaving this morning and she is trying to figure out what she is going to do with everything. I had told her about the suggestions that Liz made when we talked about the painting. Mom says that he will cover everything. Okay...sounds like a plan but I am sure we will need more tubs to store stuff. I have to move my clothes from the blue room that's for sure.
As stupid as I feel this blog http://seasmokewhalewatching.blogspot.com/ makes me feel better. I have been following it for some time now and I love reading it. I have no idea what the numbers are (well basically I do) but its fun to just see that and then watch the shamucam in San Diego.
well happily I don't feel as stupid now. It took me basically half hour to get to milford, get to the bank, and then get back to work.
Well it rained for a short time today. It started around 11:15 and stopped a shot time later. It was still cloudy and you could see it coming down hard.
Around 1 I called Liz and Nelson. They are having a quiet few days. Nelson is recovering from Gastro by pass and Liz got bronchitis. She gets that a lot. Anyway, they have been taking walks (he has to because of this) and other than that they are fine.
Liz warned me that downtown has the art festival going on...will have to avoid that part. I may ahve to get off new west main street.

I think it will be a quiet night
I had these good intentions of doing laundry, getting bills paid, and getting rid of more papers and having some organization in this room. It is nearly 8 pm and I have been home since 6:30 and all I have managed to do is eat dinner, watch TV, and change my clothes and update and revise bank records.
I wanted to go to the bank but didn’t so I will have to do it some time before I leave the office tomorrow. Yeah I checked with Susan today and asked if there will be OT and she said for scanning yes. I even asked her about next week and all next week. Annette asked me for that. I realized later that the only two nights I will be working late are Wednesday and Friday.
The team is going to have a luncheon for Tevis’ Birthday next week. We are pitching $5 for pizza lunch and I think a cake. The flyer went around today but I can’t remember much else of it.
Tomorrow is Stacey M’s wedding and several people from work are attending the wedding. It should be a lot of fun. As I may have mentioned many were shocked when she announced she was getting married. Apparently she swore she was never getting married.
Oh man there is a lot of movies on tonight. There is Titanic, Ocean’s 13, Harry Potter, and a few other things that I do not have any interest in watching tonight. I would have loved to have an NCIS evening but that’s not happening. I think its happening on Sunday though.
Well I think I will say good night and go and enjoy this wonderfully comfortable AC room thanks to my big brother!

Laundry Night
Tonight is laundry night. I have only done one load and that’s all that I can manage. I am so tired right now anyway. I can finish the rest tomorrow. The rest will be done Saturday sometime.
I had my Physical therapy session today. It wasn’t very long but you can read about it here, the actual entry won’t post for another hour or so but it is brief. I have some exercises to do and she feels that in no time I will be able to walk two miles if I want to.
Work went well got a lot done. I am making progress on the readdress mail and should have it all done by next week or so. Then what ever comes in I can keep on top of it until I go on vacation.
I worked until 6 and basically did the notes scanning. Some of the things I scanned were repeats but as long as they are they that are okay I guess. I probably will work until 6 again tomorrow.
Gayle won’t be in tomorrow. She has doctor appointments for most of the day and it wouldn’t make sense for her to come into work. So we put Annette in charge for the day (shakes head).
I received some interesting family news today. Diane tweeted that she felt the 5.4 earthquake that southern California felt yesterday afternoon. I am not sure how long it went on but from the pictures posted on the net it was a slight concern. She is also is putting together a fundraiser for a project in Cambodia. Now admittedly I am trying to get to the secure link but I am having trouble accessing it.
Mom says Bob is coming by tomorrow to put the AC in my window. I have to make a path for him to get it out of the closet and to put it in the window. I guess he is doing it sometime tomorrow morning.
Well I am getting tired now so I am going to bed…see ya tomorrow.

Not as bad as yesterday
Well according to The Weather.com page the temperatures reached 91 degrees. There was a little breeze when I left the office at 6 tonight. For the most part it was hazy around here but according to others who went out for a moments at a time it wasn’t so bad. In other parts of the country it caused the streets to buckle and power outages in high usage areas. It caused train travel some problems as well. Many senior centers were opened to the public for AC. I stayed inside and worked or was online.
Work went pretty well. I got a lot done that needed to be done and was able to do some OT. I noticed some old friends returning to our department. Some were returning from vacations and others are on vacation this week.
When I got home we had chicken on the grill for dinner with vegetables. It was pretty good. After dinner I watched the rest of the NCIS marathon.

Extreme weather
Today was one of the hottest days of this heat wave. Here in Milford it was over 100 degrees and in New Haven just mid 90’s. It was definitely not good walking weather. Some people went out but didn’t go far or for long period of time. It is supposed to get up to mid nineties and then 80’s for the rest of the week. The weather forecast calls for some thunder thunderstorms at different points of the week but I am not sure if that will help or hurt the situation.
Work went pretty well. I got almost everything done. I have some us mail that needs to be opened. I am making more progress with the readdress mail. The only problem is I am running low on the interoffice envelope supply. I am going to have to go to my suppliers.
I was hoping to do scanning today but for some reason I couldn’t access the computers in the scanning area after an update. I know the computers all had updates and I was able to get on my own but it doesn’t help because I don’t use it for scanning. So I worked on the readdress mail.
I got home around 6:30. Mom wasn’t home from her meeting yet. I had the tuna/pasta salad and potato salad for dinner. It was very good. I watched Charmed for a bit. Mom came home just as I was sitting down to a piece of pie.
After dinner I spent the evening between watching TV and writing the last three entries. I find that I need to write every day or I will forget all that has happened. I also find that I rush to write and some of the things that need to be said don’t make sense. I am not sure if I need to write outlines the way I would write my pen pal letters (or any other letters).
I really shouldn’t have had the coffee and the iced coffee today. I won’t be able to sleep tonight. I want to get up fairly early and get to watch some of the NCIS marathon tomorrow before going to work.
Tomorrow should be a pretty good day. I am not sure hwat to expect for volume as it seemed okay today. Usually with a holiday the mail schedule and volume seems to shift a day. I guess I will see what happens tomorrow.

A nice day off
It was a very hot day today. I am not sure what the temps were but it was oppressive. The only reason it was a nice day off was well because I was inside and I didn’t have to work.
Mom did some stuff outside and I spent it on the computer or watching TV. I did visit Liz and Nelson mid afternoon as Nelson was going to be going into the hospital tomorrow for the gastro bypass surgery.
The visit was nice. Liz talked about the kids, and what she and Nelson did for the holiday. She also criticized Mom, Diane, and the PA branch, her son Chris and of course me for our behavior over recent months.
For the criticism on Mom it was for a few things. The first is the way she negotiated with Rich to have work done. She said to me Mom doesn’t understand that this is rent is and bill paying Money. Excuse me? He should be bending over backwards to accommodate his grandmother and not trying to figure out how much he could get out of her. I don’t know maybe I am wrong on this but it isn’t an issue that either of us should be involved with to begin with. Its between Rich and Mom and that’s the way it should be for now. The other things she was critical about mom was the fact Mom makes all these things that cause weight problems (of course I could have probably not said anything about that)
When the subject of facebook came up she thought commented on bad the girls have been on that. I basically said I am not getting into that. I made it clear though I was not happy. I thought it best not to tell her that Joe had told us to mind our own business. What I did tell her was I just read and not comment.
From there she commented on Diane’s request for contributions for her Cambodia project. She was very angry at Diane’s behavior in the restaurant over the scallops or lack of scallops she got for her dinner. She was more disgusted that everyone just let it pass. As a result she isn’t planning on contributing to the fundraising effort. I am not sure if that is the only reason but I am guessing it is only part of it.
She asked me about the picnic and I told her about it. I told her how Dave pissed me off (and that’s when she criticized me for expecting too much from Dave. Of course she also says she does the same thing to others.
She made other comments that she is not going to shy from saying what’s on her mind anymore. For example we both commented on some of our more odd relatives (IE Jane). I have always thought she says what she wants no matter what the consequences were. This I feel will get her into trouble a lot more.
After about an hour or so Liz had to throw me out so she could get some rest. She had an IV antibiotics session before I got there so she was tired.
On my way home from Liz’s I saw Sue R drive by me. I was over by the library dropping some movies Liz had wanted returned. It was cool I very rarely see Sue here in town. The last time was over by a vacuum cleaner store.
Mom was cooking dinner when I got home. It was Eggplant parm and steak and potato salad. We didn’t eat until around 6. It was getting hotter and hotter and made Mom lethargic.
I am going to close out for now and relax….see you tomorrow.

Independence Day 2010
Evening everyone there is just less than 4 hours until this beautiful and most historic holiday is finished and put into history. For the most part it has been quiet. I suspect that once the sun is completely down it will change.
Today was really great. Bingo was great and had help from one of the older volunteers. I think its Perini. We played for an hour and had a lot of winners. “Perini” and I cleaned up and I took the residents back to their room.
I was late for mass but I did make it time for communion. I saw Marisa and her sister and sat with htem for a bit and at the end we left together and chatted before going to our cars.
When I got home the house was quiet. I heard this noise in the sky and it was a really cool sight. There were 4 planes in formation flying up very high. I ran out front to tell Sean and Sylvia and Mom who had just drove up. I am not sure if they saw it.
Mom and I had a quiet dinner and watched TV for the rest of the day.
As the night ended we could hear more fireworks go off in the distance.

July 3, 2010
Well good morning it is a beautiful morning and I am just doing odds and ends. I have been surfing the net and for some reason my computer is pretty slow this morning which is driving me nuts. It’s clear some of the documents really need to be moved or deleted.
I have started my laundry and will keep an eye on it as it gets done. I have a feeling that I won’t get as much as I planned done. I can have it done Monday as well.
I was just reading a letter from a pen pal from a long time ago. It was Michelle W from Michigan. She seemed to be having a troubled life with neighbors and animals, and family issues.
I got a lovely thank you note from Kim R. She is the candidate for State Rep in the 117th for the recent contribution to her campaign and her promise to continue working for the people in Milford.
I got to see a couple of my four legged God Children today. Sylvia and Boppie got home from seeing Sylvia’s son and his family. She apparently went grocery shopping as well. I also saw Finian. His family were expecting family members so I couldn’t stay long but I found out they are going to the Outer banks in a couple of weeks and will be going to a Dance Competition in PA.
Well I have some things to do before going to the picnic so I am going to do them…have a great day.

I Noticed how loud I got
I notice how loud I was today. I talked with a couple of people and realized I was getting louder. For example Caroline B must have had a really late start as she wasn’t at her desk and I made mention of it. She cringed a little. When I realized it I apologized for it. She just smiled and nodded.
For the rest of the afternoon I made sure I wasn’t as loud as I had been that morning. I even held my temper when one of the girls from Reimbursement insist things I gave her belonged to Credentialing. I just looked straight ahead and said it is FYI stuff please keep it. It wasn’t verbatim she walked away in a huff. I mean come on people do you really think I would give you stuff just to get rid of it?
Well now that I am hope I can forget about it and enjoy the weekend. The drive home was not bad but watching the traffic on the northbound side was slow going. You could see the cars all packed up for the weekend with bikes, campers, and supplies. That’s kind of weird too because you would have thought it being Friday many would have long been gone.
I called Dave tonight he was in LA shopping with a co-worker. We talked about tomorrow. I told him to come by and pick me up around 3. He was asking me some questions (and not really understanding or listening to me) when I explained to him what Bob asked us to do. I was trying to explain to Dave if we go too early it would be awkward. He wasn’t getting it. He thought we would go with Mom or he could come and pick me up. I told him just to come at 3 and we would go in his car. I didn’t want to explain to him what I meant.
I had a small nose bleed tonight. It poured out but it didn’t last long. I am not sure what that was about. I do know I had a runny nose earlier today and I am wondering if that could contribute to that.
Mom and I had a really nice diner tonight. It was grilled clams and potatoes and tomatoes. I had about six of them and a nice helping of the potatoes that she cooked in a skillet with oil and I guess she roasted the tomatoes in the oven (she did the same with the potatoes too) Mom will bring the rest of the clams that were not cooked to Bob’s tomorrow.
I was planning on doing some laundry tonight but I am just getting tired and decided I would not do it tonight but before going to the picnic. I might even work on the paper tossing stuff too.
I did move some emails to the journal sections last night and logged other emails. I can’t even remember how many documents I moved and deleted. I probably could do a couple of them tonight. Yeah I think that’s what I will do now.

I had about six of them and a nice helping of the potatoes that she cooked in a skillet with oil and I guess she roasted the tomatoes in the oven (she did the same with the potatoes too) Mom will bring the rest of the clams that were not cooked to Bob’s tomorrow.
I was planning on doing some laundry tonight but I am just getting tired and decided I would not do it tonight but before going to the picnic. I might even work on the paper tossing stuff too.
I did move some emails to the journal sections last night and logged other emails. I can’t even remember how many documents I moved and deleted. I probably could do a couple of them tonight. Yeah I think that’s what I will do now.

Last Night
Last night I found an email invitation to Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro’s Campaign kickoff BBQ in my inbox. It is going to be on the afternoon of July 18th. I talked with Mom about it and we are making plans to attend. She knew it was coming and she says Rosa’s home is lovely. We won’t be able to see inside it (darn) but her home is lovely. So we are planning on going to this party. I don’t thick I have ever been to her home. This is exciting.
I posted a message to my Facebook page to both sides of my family who are living down in Texas to let us know if they are safe from Hurricane Alex and Carol’s Son Ryan responded to it. HE was the only one I noticed by the time I went to bed. He wrote that it was heading to Mexico. Then as the day progressed my friend Melody D and Aunt Rita both replied.
The drive into New Haven was not bad today. I got everything done that needed to be done and was able to put more dents in the readdress mail. I suspect that tomorrow I will be able to get it done.
Tonight will be NCIS and more of getting rid of papers and files
