KateP's musings

I should have taken the dogs out when I got back here at 2.   They left me a couple of packages in a couple of different places and I caught one in the middle.                              I took them out after they ate a while too and they didn’t want to go out.   I am sure they will leave things for me a few more times during the night. I was supposed to get Swiss shredded cheese and instead I got cheddar.   Mom was not happy.   I told her I would get it tomorrow.   Now she is on her way to the wake. Work Bank Pack Suitcases Walk Dogs Go to the Store need to get Swiss shredded cheese.

The snow stopped and  there is anywhere from 5 inches to 1 Ft of snow on the ground.  The main roads are okay but the side roads need a lot more sun on it and higher temperatures.  I am at the house now.  I am just relaxing but I should be updating files and paying some bills.   I will be going back to the pups in about an hour. Bingo went well.  They were all afraid I wasn’t coming in because I was fairly later than usual.  We had 14 players and this time we had prize money.  I gave each of the winners 25 cents.  They were happy. After Bingo I went to the store and picked up the ingredients for the dip.  The store didn’t have Vidalia Onions so I got the next best thing.  Mom wasn’t too disappointed.  She has been writing thank you notes and I am not sure what else.  She might get to the wake.

It is almost 8 am I am heading into the shower to get ready for the day.   I have been awake since 6:30 and took the dogs out for a “run”.   Only one did something so I am expecting a package somewhere around here when I get back this afternoon.                           This morning is church and bingo.   Then I have to get to the store and buy the ingredients for the dip Mom is making for me to bring to Dave’s party on Tuesday.   I will be there long enough to pay bills or a few bills.   Then I am coming back here to make sure things are in order.   My intention is to stop by here long enough to feed and walk them before everyone comes home tonight. I have already got the dishwasher going and will empty that later.   I will look around to see what else needs doing.

The morning has been good.    I had some chicken pieces early in the morning and Preston had gotten to it.   I don’t know how much of it he ate but I was more afraid of the chicken bones more than anything else.   I did take it away from him and he did nip at me but I took him on my lap and “talked” with him.     It wasn’t his fault anyway-it was mine.   I should not have walked away from it or left it there.   He seems fine.   For most of the day the dogs and I either slept or watched the NCIS marathon (and it strayed over to the Star Wars Prequels.   I took them out at 4 and then fed them around 5.   I made some calls and the last one was a little discouraging. Mom was the last one for the night.   She thought I was coming home tonight.   I have told her a couple of times that it would not be until New Years Eve Day.   I was really shocked.   I wanted to make sure she understood I didn’t need ...

Well the boys are asleep right now.   I was in bed by 9:30.   I took the Tylenol and it seems to be working well.   I couldn’t sleep so I came out to the office and wrote stuff.   I have been surfing the net reading some blogs and of course the IMDB that I wrote about in NCIS blog.   I heard from Olivia she was missing the boys.   I tried to take pictures but they were to blurry or dark.   I really wanted to help her out but it just wasn’t working.   Well she will be home Monday night she can see them when she gets here. Mom says I can get the ingredients for the dip Sunday since I don’t need them until Tuesday.    So the only thing I am doing   tomorrow is the bank and then coming back here and laundry and start to inspect the house and make sure it’s in order for the family’s arrival Monday night.   I can’t access my to do list so here is what it will be tomorrow: Laundry Bank Walk the ...

I was trying to get a lot  done at work and we found out that a very dear colleague passed away unexpectedly while visiting family for the holiday.    The wake as you can read is this afternoon but I am not sure if I am going yet or not.  I would have to go home and freshen up first and check on the pups.   I had been worried about the car insurance payment and when I got the reminder call from Tom W  I explained I had mailed it earlier in the week.  Then I admitted it was done the day before.  He reassured me that it should be okay.  He also said that I could always drop it off if it ever gets too close to the deadline and they would process it. When I left here yesterday it was around 3 or so.  I stopped at home base and had dinner with MOm before going to the pups.  I checked emails and sent emails out that needed to be sent from my Outlook.  I was thrilled to see a card from Aunt Rose Mary and Uncle Pete...

It was a busy morning all before leaving for work.  I got the troops out before seven and walked.  Only one of them went outside I am expecting Packy to leave me a package.  I got some more stuff out for the recycle and garbage before they arrived.  The boys got into  growling fight match. Yes That's right I said growling fight match.  I am really sure the neighbor upstairs was very appreciative of the noise.  OF course Packy had been barking for part of the time too.  Anyway, I made them go to their beds.  Packy had his and of course Preston had the big one.  I know it wasn’t the brightest of moves to get between them but I didn’t touch them I just clapped my hands and told them No.  They knew they did was wrong.  Then I talked with them and they were fine after a while.  They seemed to understand. I made a couple of stops before getting to work.  The first was to the post office to mail the insurance ...
