Didn't go to the Military Whisk

-


Mike and Roberta picked me up a little after 5:30.  We talked about where we were going to eat (it was my choice) we had at least two hours to eat before going to Meriden.  I picked Outback in Orange.  Unfortunately Roberta’s sense of direction was a little off and we did some back tracking up through Pez Candy factory and came up that way.

  Unfortunately we had a 45 minute wait.  So we went to 477 West in the Allingtown section of West Haven.  Our wait was a little shorter.  We started off with potato skins, and we each had something different.  Well Roberta had potato encrusted salmon and Mike and I had half a rack of ribs.  I had fries and Ice Tea and water.  It was getting later than we expected and we had to take Mike home yet.

Both Mike and Roberta caught colds on their return trip from Arizona this past week. They both made an attempt to do this Military Whisk but couldn’t.  We called DebbieM to let her know we are running late and we would be there as soon as we dropped Mike back home.  It was nearly 8 when she called back and we would have been there shortly.  She called back and said that it would probably be better if we didn’t come because they were going to start. 

At that point we were in the Long Wharf section of New Haven and turned around and headed home.  We stopped at the pharmacy to buy some Alka-Seltzer plus cold med for Mike and then Roberta dropped me off. 

Mom was surprised to see me but she was even more surprised at the beautiful Native American Crucifix that I got as a gift from Mike and Roberta.  It has coral, Turquoise, Jet Black (?).  It was hand made by a Zuni Indian (that’s what is written on the box).  I looked it up and here is their history.

Since I have been home I have been watching TV, browsing the web, and getting ready for bed.  I think its time I get to bed anyway.  I am tired and not feeling so well.

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.
