KateP's musings

DEar Debra: It is New Years Eve Day.  My day isn’t going fast yet.  I had a rather unexpected evening.  I was getting sick to my stomach after eating almost entire package of english biscuits.  I am not sure the entire timeline but it wasn’t fun. The sun was out this morning and I headed to the house and get showered and ready for the day.  I went to the bakery and got the loaves of the stuffed breads. I learned they are opened tomorrow (which could have been better).  Next year I will consider that. My Dentist appointment was delayed to 10:15 so that allowed me to drop off the loaves to Dave’s place and we had an opportunity to catch up and talk about the holidays.  Of course we talked so long I was slightly late for my appointment. As it was I didn’t get in until 10:30 or 11. I think it was not until 12. I decided to come back to the house first.  Making a stop at Chris’s house and see the pups.  After awhile Chris and ...

Dear Debra:     We have snow!  Instead of rain.  It started about the time I arrived at my house (around 8:30).  It  didn't last long it will last but according to Google it should be snow showers.       I am here at the house for a couple of things. First and foremost to feed the kitties since i didn’t do it last night.  I have to finish cleaning out the litter box too.  I must have felt guilty because I gave them treats and I just notice it in a pile of goo in the back hall.  Not sure which one.  They both were meowing.  I just let them downstairs in the cellar.   They are quiet now.     The second is I am waiting for the Peapod delivery.  It should be here between 9 and 11.  I did get an alert saying that one of the items was not available and or able to substituted.  That’s okay will try next week.     So I managed to get up and get a qu...

Dear Debra: I am sitting in repose on the bed with Preston at my feet.  I have the TV on in the background. I am not really in the mood to move fast because Preston isn’t feeling well.  He threw up a couple of times on the bed. I have already told Olivia and I still have to wash the blankets. I can do later in the day tomorrow. My workout session was busy.  I had the inbody and had true confessions with alex.  Luckily i didn’t gain a lot of body weight and the other two were just maintainable. I said goodbye to Alex with the promise that i would be at the gym tomorrow, Monday and maybe tuesday. He and Becca are going to Vermont for the rest of the holiday weekend. After that I went to the post office and then headed back to critters.  Stopping for lunch at Napoli’s Deli. i got eggplant parm and salads. I ate most of it for lunch.  I wasn’t hungry for dinner. When I got here I took Preston for a trip outside and then I finished my lunch. ...

Dear Debra:     It is Day 8 of the critter sitting.  Preston is just waking up and Vlad is around here somewhere.  It was really funny it's been in the last couple of days both Vlad and Preston have slept on the bed with me.   It’s not as though they don’t sleep on the same bed together normally.  It made me think of my own.     I ended up not getting to the bank but I did go to the post office.  I did run some errands and stayed with the Preston pride for the rest of the day.  I did manage to get a number of FB’s prepared to mail. To a Friend in RI.     I also had to find some papers for Olivia.  I found them and sent them to her via pictures.  I also told her about how the pets status.  I let her know that preston did bite me and both agreed he wasn’t feeling well.       I had lunch from Wendy’s and Dinner from Captain's Catch.   THey were good and ...

Dear Debra I had a great sleep (even though I didn’t fall asleep until Midnight).  I didn’t wake up until quarter of eight. Stayed in bed for another 30 minutes then did the morning semi routine.  I just let Preston out but we didn’t stay out there long. I was certain that when I get back to Nancy’s I would have to take him out for the walk. I go to my house just around 10.  I had made a stop at the Card shop to get sympathy cards for my Aunt and her children.  Since I didn’t have updated addresses for her son Steve or daughter Kathy (NY but other than that not sure) I was going to send it to my Aunt’s.  I almost forgot to put Kathy’s name on the card! I did our normal routine for the Phelan Clan.  Albeit very late. They seemed to have scoffed up the food.  Sky has been very vocal. He wants to get into my old room. Today not happening.  Tiger is sitting on my bed. I also called my other Aunt who lives in Texas.  She has ...

Dear Debra: Today has been such a great day.  I left here just around 8 and stopped at DD to get coffee.  I got to the house did our daily routine. I put the TV on for a bit and then got ready for the Museum visit.  The Drive to Tina’s house wasn’t bad even though I overshot the exit but I managed to find it the back way. Before we left downtown we took a few minutes to decide exactly what we would do and where we would park.  Well we went to Yale University Art Gallery for their Sights and Sounds of Ancient Rituals ,  It was on the 4th floor and was very interesting to see what they had.  There were pieces that were small bricks that had very tiny writing and it was beautiful.  It took about 45 minutes and I found it to be very interesting We also also went to the Bookstore to look around.  It just reminded me that I had two books at home that I haven’t even picked up to read yet.  The bookstore was fairly busy even though the cit...

Good Morning: It is quarter of eight on a beautiful Winter day.  It is in the low 30’s outside and no sign of snow. I have been up since 5:30.  I have already fed and walked at least one furby and he has been a peach. Very cuddly.  I am still not totally trusting him yet. The cat has been fed too still have to check on two more critters around here and then heading to the house for another round of feeding. Then I will be getting ready for my visit with Tina from work.  I am picking her up at 10 and we will figure out what we will be doing for the day.  There are a number of options and exhibits in the city to see. It will be great to catch up with her and see what her plans are for the winter and work.  I always enjoy this because we get to see things and see New Haven in a different perspective then we would normally. Today is my Nephew Christian’s Birthday he is 44 years old.  I can’t believe it. I remember when he was born! It was ...
