Family update

-


I am all ready for bed and I was looking over some emails and some Facebook postings.  Cousin Andy in MA says everyone came out of Hurricane Sandy with minimal problems.  I think he worded it differently but cold med may be kicking in.  He said they didn’t even have a power blip.  He did do what most of us have done at one time or another.  He left the car window open and it got soaked.  I called Jim (meant to text him) and woke him up and told him the news.  Something tells me I should expect a call while I am sleeping.

Other family members have been posting on Facebook.  Niece Diane who has been in NY during the hurricane spent time with friends at restaurants and clubs that had power (which would be limited).

Her brothers are fine.  Well for John as fine as one can be while being deployed to Afghanistan.  He is returning from deployment in January and will be returning to Washington State. 

Rob is fine.  He has been working and I don’t think he had power the last time he posted to Facebook. I guess I will have to check that one out later.

Liz and Nel did tell me that Adam & Olga have power but have to walk five miles to get to work.  They live in the city and transportation hasn’t been fully restored.

Cheryl and Mike have no power but a generator.  I am not sure how much longer they will have to be without.  Their Daughter Jess Chris and Luca are surviving as well.  Their boys and girlfriends are okay.

Lisa and Nel #2 were fine.  Grandma and Poppy spent time with Nel #3 in the last couple of days. 

Rich came home from Ireland this afternoon.  As I mentioned earlier Chris went to pick him up at JFK.  I am quite sure I will hear all about that adventure soon. 

As I mentioned earlier this week Chris lost everything during the storm.  He was renting a basement apartment from a guy in West Haven across the street from the beach.  I am already formulating gift ideas for Christmas.

Jim whom I woke up out of a sound sleep to let him know about our cousins is still without power.  He says he will be for another week.  The kids are fine in Macungie.  I think Emily says they didn’t lose power or anything.

Mom is going to help out with the final weekend of campaigning tomorrow if she is feeling up to it.  Right now she is watching TV.

Okay need to go to bed.

One Day Closer to the Weekend

-
Today was awesome. I did wake up early but stayed in bed a little longer than I wanted to but that is okay. I got the clothes out of the dryer from last night and watched TV for a bit. I got ready for work and then Mom got up for her meeting at Bridges. The drive to work was great (hardly anyone on the roads or in the parking garage). The crunch was on to get as much AR in as possible for not only Month end but fiscal year end. I think we did pretty darn well. I was concerned that there wasn’t a lot of volume of mail for being the end of month or year but it was explained to me that it’s okay because it’s the time of year (huh?). Anyway, I managed to get all of the mail done and was able to put another dent in the readdress mail. I worked until 6 and did the NOPPS. This will be the only OT for the next week or so. After work I headed home. Traffic was heavy through out the 95 corridor. I am thinking it was people leaving early for the Holiday weekend. I did manage to get ho...

Turning 55

-
Today My Sister turns 55. Unfortunately all I did was sing her the birthday song. When Mom and I arrived at her house she was having dinner with Rich and Nelson. Actually Nelson was in the backroom napping and Liz and Rich were chatting and eating pizza. Mom had a card for Liz and handed it to her and Liz made some stupid joke “well you spelled my name right!” I gave her a swat. I think about it and wanted to slug her. She pisses me off when she pulls that shit. We stayed for about 15 20 minutes to get a latest scoop on Jess’s wedding apparently some of the gifts were taken or misplaced. We talked about going to the C bridal shower on Saturday. Liz is not sure if she is going. Once that was established we headed home. We had dinner and then I came upstairs and spent the evening watching NCIS and now I am going to bed.

Monday Musings 6/16/2025

-
  I was going to say it's been busy.   It's just another Monday at work.    I arrived at approximately 7:30 and engaged in a discussion with KB and BL (Administrators) before commencing work.    The health logic sorting commenced at 11:30 following the completion of document printing.        I got them all sorted and ready to be scanned by 1. I spent the afternoon scanning but grew tired.   After work, I was glad to come home, relax, and cook since I had no other plans.    Sky emerged from the closet when I fed him.   Now that I think I will go to bed early.
