Monday Musings

Sunday was a fairly busy day despite the thunderstorm in the afternoon.  The Exercise class went well and we had fun there were six of us and I believe I did better than I did on Saturday.  I would later sign up for classes for today unfortunately I didn’t attend them.  Alex’s was full by the time I signed up but later found out two openings opened and I saw them too late.  I will have to check the schedule for tomorrow.

After the class I headed to Shop Rite and went grocery shopping.  It took me an hour but I ended up spending more than I was planning on it.  I also added last minute items such as Salmon filets.  I hadn’t seen them for the last few weeks that I have been.  I also got peanut butter to snack on.  I got more creamer and sweetener because both were low.  I did manage to get paper towels and s’more baby wipes but I couldn’t get the Lysol wipes.  I managed to get more frozen vegetables and salad fixings that I seem to be still having problems making at home.

When I put everything away I made lunch of steak and Brussel sprouts.  I scoffed those up quickly.  I then took off for a pre-thunderstorm walk.  It was warm, and the sun continued to shine.  I chatted with a few people including a dear classmate of mine.  We talked at her condo for probably an hour.  We talked about ancient history, Current events, difference in opinions, and before I left she apologized for anything she did to me in grammar school.  We hugged and promised to get together again soon.  She is a waitress over at Pops Restaurant.  I had to leave because it was starting to thunder at it was 3. 

I headed for home making two more stops.  One at Captain’s Catch for water and some resting stops and chatting with an Asian woman who was tending to her lawn.  I was home by 4 an hour or 2 later the thunderstorm came and went.

The rest of the night is almost a blur.  I know I listened to a little bit of the Sunday night radio programs and showered.  I do remember having a brief conversation with Alex.  He urged me to go for another walk so that I could get to the 10K mark.    I made a very weak attempt but I somehow managed to get the 10K.

 I had a surprise phone call from Big Brother last night.  He invited me to come down sometime during the summer.  Not a long visit but a weekend one.  I absolutely jumped at the invitation.  Just with the caveat that I need to check my schedule when I start work.  OF course Livia reminded me today that when I get back I will have to do the 2 week self-isolation from travelling. Once we finished that discussion I told him my feeling about Diane’s mask tirade and he shut me down fast.  Even though I gave great advice overall its none of my business.  It sounds like he supports and understands who she will direct it at.  I told him about the Northeastern article that I had found.

 

Today was another blur.  We did our normal routine.  I did watch some TV and then napped for a while before getting a move on.

I was supposed to go to class but I had already cancelled I was feeling achy and stiff.  It has lasted for most of the day..  I didn’t even go for a walk.  I took meds and supplements that should help.  The ankle seems to be better right now but the hands not yet.

Livia came around 9:30 and we chatted and then I came upstairs to finish yesterday entry and do some surfing.  I also fell asleep.  I came back downstairs when she was working on the upstairs.  She has done a great job.  The sunroom/backroom is looking better and better.  After struggling with the flattened boxes (don’t get me started on the stupid twine) I got them in the car to take to the transfer station sometime this week.  There is a little more to clear out but that will come in time.

AT lunch time I made a meatloaf and a beef patty for lunch.  I combined both ground pork, and ground beef.  I put seasonings (didn’t measure it) cut up an onion and a couple of eggs. I added some grated Mexican mix cheese. I cooked it at 350 for 45 minutes.  Put a little ketchup on it.  I had the patty for lunch with cheese.  As usual there was some rawness to it.  I have a habit of eating a little of it raw.  I am waiting for all that to bite me in the ass next time.  I had the meat loaf for dinner with peas and cheese.

I received some interesting family news in the last couple of days.  My cousin’s son Mike has been reassigned to a Naval Base in Florida (that’s where they were a long time ago.  Well, same state different naval base) my cousin Carol will be ecstatic because she really misses them.  I guess he will be in Florida by the end of the week with his family.

Nephew John posted on FB today that he will be reassigned to Fort Bragg NC in August.  When I told my sister this she hoped he would be happy there.  I do too.  I wonder if his lady will follow since she just recently moved up to AK with her kids.

I didn’t stay in the Trivia Meet up long.  The audio wasn’t good again.  I wasn’t very interested in dropping out and coming back in.  JOC popped in to say hi but had to leave by 7.  WE made tentative plans to walk soon.

I was quite surprised when Sky didn’t come down midafternoon to begin the “feed me ritual” he was under my bed for most of it.  He was there last night too.  He was in the closet at one point and then the next under my bed for the rest of the night.  Tiger was well I am not sure where she was but probably in all of her summertime spots.  She has been under a table in the dining room for the last two or three hours.  I was wondering if they were getting agitated by the thunderstorms.  For the first time in a While Sky sat on the couch since 6.  If I stayed on the trivia they would have been able to see him.  I am hoping he will come up and sleep on the bed with me instead of the closet or under the bed.

All the bills I had scheduled for the last few day have been delivered and will be posted to the accounts soon.  I am relieved for that but now I can’t wait to get paid next week.

I am going to have to find some time and dedicate it to getting the taxes done.  Well that’s going to be tomorrow’s worry.

I have exercise class tomorrow at 9:30.  Then later on I have my session with Alex and I am hoping to go for a walk at some point. It is contingent on the weather tomorrow and of course JOC.

I will say good night…………

 

Thought I would be waking up to rain

Good Morning.  It’s almost 7:30 in the morning and the sun is shining and it is 69 degrees.  I really thought I would be waking up to rain but no it’s coming after 1 this afternoon.  It’s supposedly going to last until 10 tonight.  I am glad because this will allow me to go to the grocery store right after my exercise class and I can be home before it starts.

I forgot to mention I got my other coffee order that was late and never delivered.  My hope is that this will keep me going for the time being.  I still have the two boxes left of Dunkin pods (I opened the second one yesterday).  Both deliveries had a total of 96 k-pods.  

I thought I was going to be getting one of my amazon deliveries (the wipes) yesterday because they wrote me and said it was coming and I am just so tired of the BS from them.  I will have to check the supplies in the cellar before going out this morning.

I was able to cancel Paige’s class when an opening in Dan’s class appeared last night.  It’s at 10 am.  I knew I wouldn’t be able to get to her class.  I was really tired and for some reason my neck started to hurt as well as my hand.  It’s better now after taking Tylenol. 

The kitties are fine.  I believe they are still in the cellar.  I let them down there after their breakfast.   I was surprised that last night Sky decided to spend part of the night curled up next to me.  He started  off in the closet in my old bedroom.  Tiger slept downstairs I am guessing that’s where I left her when I went to bed.  They did wake me before our normal time and so they were not pleased when I went downstairs and went to the couch instead of feeding them before the normal time.

Somehow I lost the free time I thought I had (I was surfing the net) and now it’s time for me to get ready for the gym

 

Take care.

 

 

 

 

The Rain Came Later

Well I made it to class and did the best that I could.  It was SGT which means having partners,  I thought I was going to die but the most important thing to remember is to keep moving.  Luckily the weather held out for us to work out outside.  Everyone was saying it was going to start raining by 11. Meh.

Alex let me know that he would be leaving at 11:30 so we would not be having our session today. So the next session will be Tuesday.  I promised I would walk when I got home.  We had a discussion after I used the in-body and that was highly disappointing.  What did I expect?  I had too many wings, I still swig the creamer and probably put too much in my coffee.   Not getting enough exercise.  My plan to go to the gym every day has been less than stellar.   So when I got home got some more water and went to the bathroom and took off for a walk.

The walk was about an hour.  I ran into a classmate of mine so we chatted for a short time.  After a while I went on ahead and the called DO because I thought it was funny we were remembering him from school.  So For the next hour I talked with Dave.   At one point this woman who was walking her kid and pit bull started walking by me and the dog was walking towards me and I asked her to pull it back.  She got snotty and I told her I asked her nicely and she got snotty again and I said F*ck you.  Of course there was a family behind me and I apologized.  There was a minor present.  I don’t know why I reacted towards the Pitbull because as DO reminded me I like dogs.

It started to rain on my way home from my walk but it didn’t last long.  The sun came back out for a while and didn’t do anything for several hours until about 4.  It came down hard twice and the sun came out both times.  I have a feeling it will do this for the rest of the night.

I signed up for Paige’s early morning class for 8 but I cancelled it because I just don’t want to get there that early.  I am on a waiting list for Dan’s class.  If I can’t get into it I will just do an hour of cardio because Its supposed to rain again tomorrow.

  I love my niece most of the time and I am tolerant of my older siblings views on her and her tirades but this one time I wanted to bitch slap her.  She is going to tell people what she thinks of them not wearing a mask.  Good idea. Let me know how the fuck that works for you.  Oh and let me know what hospital you will be in if they shoot, stab or beat the shit out of you.  She seems to think she is entitled to say whatever the fuck she wants.   If the link works you will see my reply to her.  I am sorely tempted to show her this.  I am pretty sure it will go over like the proverbial lead balloon.

I did post it to my FB time line and have had some responses.  I guess I did it because there had been a number of posts demanding people to wear masks and they seem to be strident and rude about.  Apparently there was an issue at Trader Joe’s in California that went Viral.  From what I gather the people on my time line think the woman was out of line.  I would say those who were harassing her were out of line.  I would file a complaint with the head of the company.

I had lunch around 12:30 from Bonfire Grill through Grub hub.  I decided to have a California Grilled Chicken it had tomatoes and avocado and cheese and lettuce.  I also ate the fries.  I left the bread off.  However I am not planning on having dinner.

I spent most of the afternoon surfing the net while the TV was on in the background, took a nap, and showered.  I took a nap and fed the cats. 

The kitties hung out today, between the back room, the cellar, and by any window or door they can look out to watch the door.  Of course they started their caterwauling around 3:30 to be fed.  They didn’t get fed until 5 after my shower.  Sky did sleep behind me and just got up to do something.

Well This old house is on and I haven’t seen in a while. 

 

 

Feeling Better

I had a great sleep last night.  I think I missed most of my Friday night radio program.  The alarms I set on the Boise still are not working but I really didn’t need one especially with the cats.

They have been fed and I have had my coffee and I have been chatting with AB on the text.  She is up early too for some reason.  She noticed I was quiet last week.  I explained that I saw they were really working hard and didn’t want to get them distracted.  I told her I kept busy during the week.

I managed to get online and found out a teacher from HS passed away yesterday.  The Obit isn’t online yet so I am not sure where she is-was from.  I sent a text to Dave because I think he had her for English during our HS careers. 

I did my early morning check in with Jim.  I probably will hear from him later this morning.  I am wondering how he did at the gym yesterday.  I know he took a walk around the park across the street from his condo.  He shared to fb.

Right now I am enjoying the 66 degree cool and sunny weather from my couch.  It will be in the 70’s for most of the day and by the afternoon strong weather (translate: rain-my hope is lots of it)

This morning I have class at 8:30 will need to get ready for that shortly and my hope is to use the In-body machine to see how I am doing.  Prayers for weight loss would be great.   I have my personal training session with Alex at lunch time.

My hope is to go grocery shopping in between those two activities because I am pretty sure I will not want to go out in the thunderstorm this afternoon.

Most likely the day will end with me watching TV and on the computer writing emails.  Updating files and then sleeping.

I blinked and it was gone

i can’t believe its Friday again.  This entire week flew by and I don’t know if I got a lot done or not.

I remember sometihng Mom told me many years ago that I can’t just exist in the world I have to be doing something.  I guess that’s why every other day I get to feeling guilty that all I did is sit and didn’t do much.

My plan to go to sleep early last night never saw the light of night.  I did try but I wanted to finish ysterday’s babble of an entry.

A part of me focused on committing to the gym.  That met with mixed results.  I knew I would fall back into the old ways.  Skip classes, eat things I wasn’t really supposed and make up for it some other way.  I did get some walking in as well.

i set the alarm for 4 this time so I would be getting up in time to feed the cats and leave for the 6 am class. I slept through the alarms but managed to get up and go and even the cats got fed.

I am thinking i did a lot of writing WHETHER IT was in the blogs, attempted pen paling, and some organizing. 

I also know I spent probably way too much time watching TV or sleeping. 

Since I had scheduled many of the bills that were due (at least that’s what I believe they are) this pay check I didn’t feel like I needed to review them.  LIE.  I still needed to check about the service agreement payment and see when I can do that.

I know I lost a number of nights worrying about that whole thing.  i still go back and forth with the setting up and identifying and organizing (the words are not coming to me right now)

i received some sad news this morning.   My friend Joan lost her 14 year old Companion Buddy (her organization Walks with Buddy was named for him) yesterday afternoon to cancer.  It was quick found it earlier this week.  I offered to come over today but she didn’t respond.  I have been crying since I found out.  A couple of others lost their furbabies as well this week.  i managed to send them all cards.  the kitties are not sure why i have been so clingy.  They are both sleeping now.

I called JOC this morning.  Her foot like I said is better but she isn’t willing to tempt fate but has the doctor appointment monday.  She definitely will be walking next week even with the rain.

I have checked in with the girls, Jim, and now Liz.  I am avoiding cooking the chicken but I also need to go grocery shopping today.

I still have the boxes to tie up and take to the transfer station with another bag of clothes.

I am thinking maybe work on the pen pal stuff for a little bit. 

i have my session with DEbra at 5;30 this evening.  I hope the zoom issues will be resolved.

The weather right now is beautiful and 81 degrees and the sun is playing hide and seek. we may get some rain at some point.  It’s supposed to stay with us for the next several days.  My lawn along with everyone else needs it and we can’t water it right now…brown water in the pipes.  For some of us.

 

 

Been up early

I woke up around 4 this morning and I finished writing out this week’s ThankfulThursday post.    Then I had an idea to work on the budget.  As I tried to reclaim my information for Mint.com I had to recreate a new password.  I had forgotten what I used for the Turbo tax.  I thought I had an understanding but I will try again later. 

I got up and checked on sky and he was just sitting in the closet.  He came running out and let me pick him up and hold him.  Then we went back to my room and he stayed with me for a while.  He curled up a few times then he sat down and watched me get on the computer.  Then he ran off and then came back. 

I got up at 5:30 and we did our routine.  I managed to fall back to sleep on the couch even with coffee.  The kitties were attentive and that fills my heart.  For as long as I have been their mama there are days I feel I am not always a good mama.  When they show they want to be loveable I feel like I can be doing anything.

So there has been a concern about brown water in the system in Milford.  I had heard about it last week and as the week moved on the RWA and the city (as recent as yesterday) sent out caution messages and suggestions to deal with.  For example let it run before drinking and or limit the use of it for watering lawn and such.  Apparently there is a lot of people using the water and its causing the sediment to get stirred up.  So far it’s not happened here.

I know I have some things to do but right now I just want to sleep.  I want to get a walk in today.  JOC won’t be able to yet.  I will be going to class tonight but that’s it.

I did go for a walk but MapMyWalk has changed and I know I went for at least a mile. ..and it’s all acting weird.   There is something definitely wrong with the phone and the apps.  It didn’t record the route correctly at all.  The pedometer on the other hand says I did well.  It actually shows up on the phone better.  After my trip to the AT&T store I went on a late one and it was much better.

My trip to AT&T store went better.  The guy I worked with told and showed me what I needed to do about the data.  He also said that sometimes apps get corrupted and that they need to be deleted and reloaded (not on a daily basis).  After doing a software update while there everything seems to be working.  I am very relieved.

I chatted with Liz today and we talked about the phone, and about work, and budgets.  I told her without going into great detail that I am getting a budget together.  Late this afternoon I received the car tax and the real estate tax and I nearly died.  I am going to have to do something about that and I have until august 3 to do it.  I will be looking forward to my session with Debra.

Alex contacted me tonight to find out why I didn’t go to class.  I explained I didn’t sleep well and that I was tired but I did take two walks today.  I told him I would be going to the class tomorrow.  Admittedly it will be very early but I am going to try.   I told him I was going to bed early so I best get there.

I was relieved I actually wrote one of my pen pals today.  It was two pages and will talk more about soon.

 

 

 

Thankful Thursday

1.            I am thankful for family warts and all.   I am still excited to share the news of the news of a new baby in the family in December.

2.            I am thankful for my Kitties.  They haven’t had any hairballs of lately.

3.            I am thankful for my job.  I am still looking forward to going back next month.  The Target Date for my area seems to still be the week of July 10th

4.            I am thankful for the medical profession that keeps me on the road to good/better health.  The Gym opened yesterday and I spent about an hour and half there.  I have my infusion in July.   I have een doing a little more walking then previously.  So Happy to have returned to the gym.  There are times I have been falling back into same routine as before.

5.            I am thankful for my home. 

6.            I am thankful for my friends.  I have talked with Mama once this week I will be calling her later today.  The in person meetups are going great.  Last night was pretty large group.  We talked abou the pandemic and safety issues.  WE also saw a couple of beautiful Dogs.

7.            I am thankful for my neighbors.  One of my neighbors is having struggles relationship wise.

8.            I am thankful for the organizations I belong to.  The DTC will start back normal routine with meetings next month.  Since our biggest fundraiser is having a Food tent at the Annual Oyster festival isn’t going to happen because of the pandemic we will probably focus on campaigns earlier than usual.

9.            I am thankful for the weather.  It’s been a heatwave but it has good points and bad points.

10.          I am thankful for those who choose to protect and serve our country.  Enough said.

11.   I am thankful for those who are in the healthcare caring for those who have been affected by this Virus.

 

Hot Midweek Reflections

It is another day of hot temperatures.  It is currently 83.  It will get no hotter than 86.  It got in to the 90’s Monday and mid 80’s yesterday.  It only rained for a brief time early this morning.  It looked like it was going to rain more but it didn’t and the sun came out.  I am glad because if it didn’t the meetup this afternoon would be cancelled or postponed. 

I called JOC this morning to offer we drive up together to the meetup.  We agreed and I will be picking her up at 5 and from there go to Branford.  Her foot was a little better but wasn’t really anxious to push it.  She was a little concerned about the drive up there but then she thought she was being overly paranoid about the whole situation. 

This time last week I was working on budgets and that’s an ongoing thing.  I was also on a search for a misplaced CC and had to order a new one.  Well the new one came and any guesses what I found yesterday as I got to the store yesterday?  You got it, the old one in one of the reusable bags in the car. I really should have looked harder.  The old one is currently in to be shredded pile.

This time last week the gyms opened up and I have been there almost every day.  I didn’t go Sunday but I went walking with JOC that day.  Classes didn’t start up until Saturday.  I went to class Monday, and tried to go in the last couple of days but they were going to interfere in the walks that I ended up not taking.

We had our last FF4W Thursday trivia Night last week.  Happily they moved it to Monday night at 6:30 for now.  I think GC is hoping to find local restaurants that are reopening and beginning Trivia Game nights again.  I was talking to Authoress51 about it.  I sent her a link today for a trivia game meetup in her city.  Just in case the trivia stops being online or something. 

Of course the greatest news is that there will a new baby in the family come December!  My Nephew Chris and His wife Jen are expecting a baby Boy.  They had a zoom gender reveal party on Sunday.  Of course everyone is ecstatic.

Well I need to start getting ready for the Meetup so I will say good night.  Blessed Be.

errands

Good news checked the informed delivery and it looks like I am getting the new CC today.  What a relief.  Too bad the two amazon deliveries (the wipes and TP) are nowhere to be seen.  I have placed two refund requests.  I had to contact the seller for the wipes because amazon isn’t going to refund it.  The TP refund will be honored.   I plan on writing to the corporate headquarters and recommend they reevaluate their third party venders. 

I went to AT&T store today and the guy was absolutely useless.  He said basically that I should ignore it because AT&T would have called or something.    I will try again because I don’t like the answer. 

I went to Walmart and returned the Fitbit and it will be a few days before it posts back into my account.  When I got back to the car I downloaded one pedometer and I didn’t like the way it was tracking my steps and shared the story with Alex when I saw him for our session.  I have downloaded another one I am testing and it’s been rocky.  I have no patience with stupid shit.  I also think this goes back to the phone not being right.

I had a late lunch from Wendy’s this afternoon.  As I told Alex this evening I was sorely tempted to get a hamburger but instead I got their Southwest Avocado Salad.  The chicken was huge.   I ate it at home.  I told Alex about it and he reminded me to be careful of the guacamole because of the Caloric intake.  Later on after my session with Alex I picked up some more milk and regular Half and half.  WE had discussed my indulgence with the creamer so I promised him I would reduce it but I also got milk because I was low on that. 

JOC and I were unable to walk today because JOC has something wrong with her foot.  She will see the doctor on Monday but if she was feeling better we will go tomorrow or the next day.  She will definitely be going to the meetup if the weather holds up.

I had a wonderful phone conversation with Big Brother.   We talked about so many things.  Housekeeping and the steps to keep ourselves organized and what is important to us.  Several times I told him we are certainly soul mates.  We seem to have the same views on a lot of things.  I even admitted to him that my finances are not as good.  I have a hard time telling that to Liz.

I talked with Mama for about 20 minutes before going into Walmart and we talked about Telka’s kids, what’s opening in LV, and discussed the possibilities of travel.  I admitted to her that I think I was channeling her sister.  Her sister has hard time managing money as well.  It’s been a source of contention with them.

Oh someone was shooting off fireworks and they looked great but its just before 10.  It’s not the first time there have been a number of nights in the past week the fireworks have been shot off.  Last week I was woken up at 3 in the morning.  My Guess is since the cities have cancelled their fireworks displays many are doing their own more than usual.

 

I had to turn the fan up

Yesterday I had to turn up the fan downstairs to circulate the air and I opened the front door.   Felt better but the temperature continued to climb.  At one point it was 83.  I won’t be putting the AC on in the bedroom. I have another window fan in the window by the driveway and have a nice breeze that make it cold at times.

I did some laundry that I need to get going and made some lunch and “small snacks”.  Then I decided to update some of the finance folders on the computer.   

I got a call from JOC early in the day and made plans to walk at 4.  I let her know that I was appreciative of the things she said.  She said we would talk more on the walk.  I missed her house so I had to turn around.  I got a call from an organization looking for money.  I still managed to get there right at 4. The walk was great and there was a wonderful breeze despite the temperatures.  We made plans to walk in the morning.

 After the walk I headed to the gym with a favor to fulfill.  She asked me to mail something for her but it had to wait as I was really late for class.

I got to the gym got changed and went into the room and they moved it outside.  There were four of us students.  It was a tough one.  There were a few moments where I thought I was going to yak. I told Alex my weight and he seemed okay with it (I really don’t think so).  I think before we work out tomorrow night I will weigh myself.  I told him the Fitbit still not working and apparently the MapMyWalk app isn’t either.  I even told him I went on a walk.  

It was after 6:30 when I left there after carrying things back and then chatting with another member before leaving.  I still had to go to the Post office and then I came home.

I fed the cats and fell back onto the couch for a few hours.  I watched the NCIS marathon until the cable system went out .   It was weird  It blanked out a whole slew of channels with the you could be watching this if you upgrade.  I tried to contact Optimum but that was useless.  So I decided to go to bed.  I also complained on the Milford FB page.  No answers until I went to bed and woke up this morning.  However, when I did get up around 10 I decided to reboot the box and it works.  I watched one more episode of the NCIS marathon and by that point I was tired.

I went to bed at 11.  I had to reset the fan.   I am not sure what I did but it works continuously now.  I was able to sleep until this morning.  The kitties chose to sleep elsewhere but were at their positions before the alarm went off.

I had planned going to class before the walk this morning but the earliest one was way too early (6:30 or so) and the next one was 9:30 and it would cut into the walk time with JOC.  I thought it was going to be 9 but when I saw it wasn’t I called JOC to let her know that 10 am is good time still but the classes were off.  I probably didn’t have to tell her but did

I am going to do some reading and organizing before the walk so I m going to go do it.

Monday Musings

Well it’s early Monday.  I believe we are in a heatwave. It’s already 74 degrees and its only 9 am.  It is expected to get into the mid-80s.  Wait a second I see by the weather forecast we might get rain by the end of the week.  It would be nice I heard its been awhile since we got rain.  It seems like it by looking at my lawn.  I am not big on watering the lawn.  I like when Mother Nature does it.  I realize I may not have a choice.

I went walking late yesterday afternoon with JOC and it was a good walk.  The conversations were a bit frustrating.  I found myself critical of a lot of things and she didn’t seem to mind but she has a favorite phrase that I can’t seem to recall but one thing that sticks out is “for the grace of God goes me”.  Something my sister says to me quite often for herself.  Anyway, I don’t want to jeopardize that relationship so I need to temper my views in some way.  Anyway, I am not sure if we are walking at all today.  I will call her tonight or she will call me (I hope) and plan for tomorrow.  It will have to be early in the morning because I signed up for class early.

I have been sitting on news for the last month.  Liz told me last month that my nephew Chris and Jen are expecting a baby in December.   She asked me to hold off blabbing the news until they do.  Well up until today I told only Debra.  Yesterday there was a zoom gender reveal party (that my sister forgot to tell me about) and announced they are having a BOY.  I am not mentioning it on Facebook until they do.  I asked Liz if I could share.  She asked that I hold off a day or I could ask them.  I decided to hold off a day.  No names yet.

I have been waiting to see the bills I paid were sent and they were.  Now I have to remember a couple of other things will be paid this week.    Things will definitely be tight and I had to tap into my savings.  I am trying not to panic but its what happens.

It doesn’t look like I will be getting any mail today.  I was hoping that the New CC would be arriving today.  I think I made an error in timing. 

The status of the Fitbit is the same.  I am planning to do one of two things.  Call for a new one or return this and get the one I should have gotten in the first place and pray it works.  I should be checking the forum and seeing what they suggest but the updates I did get were people still having problems.  When I told a neighbor he suggested I call support and see if they could help.

I still need to call AT&T about data and see what I need to do.  I don’t know if I can fix the data limits from the phone or decide what to do.   Well that was a fail.  I couldn’t call anyone but I tried the automatic chat thing and it didn’t help.  I am going to have to go to the AT&T store.

My friend JohnM sent me an email yesterday saying my account was hacked…I checked with google chrome and it says I haven’t been compromised.  So who am I to believe?

So the cats seem to be enjoying the warm sunshine.  They were sitting in the cellar on the cool cement by the windows, and sitting out back. Now though Sky is above my head on the couch and I am pretty sure Tiger is up in my old bedroom sleeping under the desk. 

I heard from another new pal it was Belinda.  She sounds wonderful.  I am hoping to get her letters and many others written today before I go to the gym this evening.

 

 

Happy Birthday Rob

Yesterday was my nephew Rob’s Birthday.  I don’t remember how old any of my nieces and nephews is really.  I am guessing mid 30’s.   Sadly I don’t get to see him much.  I haven’t talked with him in quite some time.  I am guessing he sees his mother frequently.  I am not sure if there are issues with his siblings.  Then again this is my family there are always issues going on.  Anyway a memory popped up on FB and I shared it and said the same message.  OF course he isn’t on FB.

Yesterday was the first exercise class and they had it outside.  It was a little hard but my hope is to get better over time.  it was partners and I had the lady who is always supportive.  I was right I do look like a whale in the Picture that Mike posted on FB.  It may take you to his whole time line you may have t scroll down.  Alex was the instructor but Mike was setting up for his own clients.   I came home after class and did some TV watching, sleeping, and surfing the net.    I  went back later for my session with Alex and we talked about the quarantine and if I weighed myself.  I should have said yes once but I was afraid to.  I did check on my-chart and so I will tell him on Tuesday.

I bought a Fitbit InspireHR  at Walmart and followed the instructions and it hasn’t done anything.  I went on their forum and there seems to be many people having issues.  I am so angry about this.  I spent almost $100 on this.  I should have stuck with the regular one for lesser amount.  I was carrying on yesterday and I was pretty loud.  I sometimes think the neighbors can hear me.   I just don’t know what to do with this now.  This was one of many things that had kept me up again.

I got a call from JOC that I walked with on Friday and she wanted to go walking yesterday but I just couldn’t.  Too tired and aggravated so we made plans for some point today.  I originally said I couldn’t go Sunday morning but the afternoon would work.  Even that changed for me but we have plans for 4 pm today..

I was thrilled to receive the first of the two coffee deliveries yesterday.  The next one I hope will be here tomorrow.  My hope is all of these will last me a while.  I doubt it but I can still hope.  The latest chewy order (the litter) arrived as well.   You are all probably wondering why I am still ordering this after all the griping I did about finances.  Believe me it’s a definite worry.  I am waiting for a few of the payments to be posted and then hold off on using the credit cards for a while.

I also received the car payment statement and a service agreement from the oil company I use.  Gee when it rains it pours.  I have already scheduled the car payment but I was not expecting this service agreement this week.  I may call them and see if I can delay the mailing of it.

I was thrilled to find a couple of ladies who wanted to be pen pals and I sent out my intro to them.  I was working on their files yesterday for a little while. Of course a few guys contacted me and this time didn’t reply to them. 

The rest of the night made dinner and channel surfed and then went to bed to listen to the radio and write.

I heard from Mama Roberta via FB.  She was reacting to some posts I shared and she tells me that our friend Dr. T’s kids all live in CA.  I had no idea.  I suspect if I replied to Dr. T’s letter I would have found that out.  She says she will call sometime today.

I am trying to have some alone time with my boy Sky.  He was doing a lot of vocalizing (meowing whatever) and I was kind of harsh with him.  I was trying to work on something (the Fitbit probably).  I started feeling guilty and so he and I are fine now.

Well I have some things to do have a great Father’s day…
