KateP's musings

Hey everyone it is almost 3 hours and 23 minutes until 2012.   The pups and I are watching the NCIS Resolve to watch Marathon on USA.   It seems to be mostly from 8 th season. Today was a pretty good day.   The boys and I got up probably around 8.   We discovered that it must have rained during the night as everything was damp and there were puddles.   After the walk we spent more time here and then I went back to the house. Mom was out back reading her paper and the others were still sleeping.   Mom had told me the dinner she had was apparently to heavy for her.   It made her sick last night.   It also apparently scared the girls when they heard her get sick.    Anyway we read the paper and I had some coffee until the others began waking up. Jim was the first of them to wake.   We talked about many things including Medicare (a major project and concern for both of them in their lives).   We also talked about other thing...

             Well it is after 4 pm and I have been home nearly an hour and half I think.   When I got home the boys were waiting for me and were greeting me at the door.   We moved quickly to go for a walk and to let them do their “jobs”.    I have to admit they were very good inside.   While we were out I took the time to make sure any packages going north of here on our walk were picked up.   We talked with the neighbors that are kitty corner to the house.   She assured me that sometimes both Nancy and Patrick and Olivia come home late or actually leave the dogs by themselves for some time. Nancy called from FL around 3:30.   We spent about 20 minutes talking about the boys and the holidays and movies.   After we got off the phone I made sure I spent equal amount of time with both boys by playing with their toys and giving them hugs and kisses.   I had a brief notion tha...

Today is the last working day of 2011.   It is pretty quiet right now.   Throughout the office there are a number of people that are working and will either work until 4 or leave early to start their holiday activities. I did get the lock box mid morning and there wasn’t a lot for either day.   Now I am going to work on the readdress mail that is here until the Post office mail comes. Mom had Olivia (the cleaning woman) come in and do nice things to my room yesterday.   It looked good (aside from my desk looking like it was dumped on).   Olivia has agreed to organize my room for the 2012.   I acquiesced.   Even Jim had some suggestions about letting her do it. Called home this morning no one answered so I sent a text message to Emily and she told me they had been sleeping.   Oh what have I done?   They are probably hanging out doing what ever right now. Cami came in around 11.   She will be here for 2 hours.   Gayle called to...

It is now Thursday afternoon just after 3 and I have been home a half hour.   I have managed to get the dogs walked and soon will have the cards ready for the kids.   I did call home to see what was going to be next.   The kids have been there since 2.   They had some macaroni and are not real hungry for the roast.   So it was decided that we would have pizza around 5:30.   I think Mom gave me the okay to come around about then.   Then we are going to the movies.   I am a little apprehensive about leaving the pups and the gerbils alone for that time but I will feed them early and hopefully get home at a decent hour.   Mom has not understood why I am not gung ho on leaving the dogs alone.   Okay its now several hours later.   It is also after 10:30.   I left here around after 4 some time.   I had fed the dogs, put laundry in the machine and headed out.   I found Jim and Mom talking in the kitchen.   Kristina ...

I have been playing catch up with my entries in the last couple of days.   Unfortunately I spent most of my day off yesterday with a headache.   The wonderful Preston was at my side constantly.   He would like/kiss my face or sit at the top of my chest and or follow me to the bathroom every time I vomited. Today I drove to work instead of taking the train.   I couldn’t find a parking place near the train station and so I went on by car.   I got to New Haven early and managed to get some food for the office.    My stomach was not completely recovered from yesterday’s session of barf.   I was pretty thirsty so I had a lot of juice. I can’t even begin to tell you who came in to work today but I had enough to do.   I wasn’t able to finish lockbox but I was able to finish post office mail despite the volume.    I almost forgot about the lobby mail.   I will have to do it tomorrow once I finish the lockbox from today. I made it...

Christmas Day was a pretty good day.   My sleep was an interesting one at that.   Preston slept with me in between my legs which made for some really interesting sleeping patterns.   Once I got some sleep it was fine (we moved around the bed a few times) while Packie slept in Livia’s We got up and walked early and then I got ready for Bingo and Church.   I went to stop at the Dunkin Donut shop near the nursing home but it was closed.    The workers were not picketing outside that early anyway.   Both Natalie and PJ were there for the holidays.   They served Danish and coffee to the residents and I did the bingo. Afterwards I went to St Mary’s Church for the 11:30 mass.   Even on one of the holiest days in the Catholic Church I couldn’t even be on time.   I met up with some cousins and chatted with them.   I got home after 12:30 and Mom was cooking and feeling much better.   We opened our presents: 1-2 sweaters (from Mom)...
