Things didn't go as planned

-


Today didn’t go as planned.  I got up early and hung around for a bit thinking I would go at 10 to get the INR done.  Mom suggested I get it earlier so I left here around 9:30 after calling the doctor’s office to see how long the wait would be.  Their voice mail message was “they were closed due to weather”.  I figured they left it that way from the storm.  They didn’t.  I got there after 9:30 and found they were not opened at all so I had to come all the way home made some calls to the Oral Surgeon and Liz.

The first call was semi good.  I explained the situation and they suggested I go to the Milford Lab next to Quest Diagnostics.  I called Liz and explained the situation.  I got to the Lab by 10:15 and registered and then had to wait.  I finally got my blood test.  It was not just the finger prick like usual.  By then I think my BP was up to million. The results would take 20 minutes.  I got to Liz’s and told her what was going on we chatted with Chris who was getting among other things last minute instructions to pick up Rich.  Unfortunately as we got in the car she kept thinking of things to tell him and it was getting later and later.  I think I was calm but not sure. 

We got to the oral surgeon and I explained what was going on.  Eventually we got the results of the INR and it was too high.  4.16.   The procedure was cancelled so I had to wait for Liz to come back to the office (I left my phone to charge here).  Liz came back for me around 12:15 or so.  While she was waiting she was at Rich’s house looking for stuff.

 On the way back to her house we stopped at D&D and got coffee for us and Nel.  He was just coming home from a Doctor’s appointment in Fairfield.  We talked about everything.  The neighbors that stayed with them (apparently it got sticky for all); health; plans for Christmas, and memories in general.  I left around 1 because they had to go to Killingworth to babysit Nel #3.

Mom came home around 2.  We will probably do our own thing like laundry and stuff.  I have taken some Dayquil (Costco version) this afternoon because I sounded bad today.  Later on I will take the night time stuff so I can sleep.

For now though I am going to do the laundry.

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.
