Monday Musings Birthday Edition

 Today is my Birthday.  For years I think about my birthdays sometimes months in advance and think about what is going on in my life, where I am living, what my health is going to be like and eventually closer to death.  In the past it would  wake me up in the middle of the night hyperventilating.  I didn’t do it this year.  I just went to bed tired. Last Night and today I have been receiving lots of Birthday wishes, via FB, email, Messenger.  Makes me feel good.  Dave and I will have our annual Birthday dinner on Wednesday.  Junior and the kids stopped by with cupcakes that some of us ate right up.

Yesterday I went to the open house for this condo at Noon with Liz.  It met with mixed reactions.  I didn’t like the mailboxes that were out (they looked beat up), Liz thought the outside was tired.  The views of LI Sound were beautiful. Large Living room small kitchen new appliances, parking is out back and has a door for it.  Short stairways to the laundry area that is shared between the buildings and coin operated.  Storage area is good size but again shared.  I don’t have to worry about the cats.  There was a dog across the hall.  The other issue is even though we are up and away from the beach I am not sure I want to watch the waves come up over the hill.  Storms are not this neighborhood's friend.

I had to cancel an appointment for one in Dave’s complex (literally across the footpath) because I have to let Cheryl schedule them (legally or otherwise) not sure the reasons but I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize that.  Dave has been really funny. He is looking also and sent me links to several that Cheryl has sent me.

As a matter of fact the next Condo Tour is on Thursday at 5:20.  I spoke to Cheryl last night and by this morning she had it scheduled.  I pointed this condo out to Liz when we drove by it yesterday.  This morning I invited her to join us if she felt up to it.

After the condo tour yesterday Liz and I headed back to the house to do a few hours of clearing out.  The dining room was done and we left some personal stuff in the tote that will go with me to wherever the new place is.  Liz and Andrea did the books and pictures in the office but late last night after stubbing my toe (and probably breaking it) It's still messy and not organized.  I was really aggravated by it.  We did have a lot of stuff for the garbage and good will.  That I have to still take

I spent the afternoon doing more shredding in my old bedroom (that’s probably going to be the next clearing out beside the bedroom I currently use. The bathroom will be done last.  We will then move on to the Kitchen and bathroom downstairs.  I still have more to do but I was to damn tired last night.  I will finish what I have in the Samsonite and then in the totes in my old bedroom.  I want Liz and whomever is going to help to guide me.  

I tried to stay up a couple of nights earlier in the weekend to finish shredding or make a dent but it didn’t work.  It messed up my entire days and energy level and focus the rest of the time.  The shredding is a variety of things.  The whole entertainment collection including Kevin Sorbo fandom (which I mention in the entertainment blog), some pen pal files and folders (that I end up sending updates to.). I have kept pictures that I like but also the greeting cards I have gotten over the years I tossed.  I am not spending the time scanning any of this stuff as it would take too much time for me.  However, as I have said going forward I will be scanning them.  I would like to get an hour’s worth of shredding done tonight before I go to bed.  I have to make a good will run after I see Debra.

I have told almost everyone on the street the situation.  Some felt bad for me and think he who will not be named is an asshole as well.  They wished me luck and offered to help if needed. I actually have two more to tell but in time.

The cats have been enjoying their time up in the attic.  I tried a couple of times to get them to come down unsuccessfully.  Besides, I have to go up to get the remaining shredding items.  They don’t understand why there's so much in the back room though.

Work is going well.  We have the new courier service starting tomorrow.  It should be much better than the last one and its in-house.  We have a meeting tomorrow to review what Donna does while she is on vacation and I will be doing the mail.  Especially with the new methods and directions.  Donna originally told me I can open and daily the daily stuff (that goes in batches) but the rest she can do when she gets back.  Well I don’t think that’s going to happen.

The scanning work is all coming back to me and it feels good to be doing that again.  Its been so long (with the problems connecting, and the time away).

Everyone seemed okay

 

Well I managed to get a couple of hours sleep this morning and then got up and fed the  titans and then took another nap until 6:30.  Then I got ready for work but ended up leaving really late.  Got to work exactly  at 8. 

 

I was relieved to learn everyone from work seems to have come out okay.  AC lost power but expected it to be back on by mid-morning.  VanessaT and she were comparing horror stories from the same town.  A few others waited until the storm passed before heading out.  

 

Unfortunately I can’t say the same about Cheryl and Mike.  They have no power in their part of North Haven (it was hit pretty hard) so we can’t go looking at Condos this weekend after all.  I had sent her a few emails last night making initial plans and after chatting with Liz via email and text I contacted Cheryl and told her how sorry I was.    Next weekend is supposed to be better weather-wise so  I am open to starting it next week.  She did give me five possibilities if you remember.

 

So the texts and emails between Liz and I were about our plans for clearing out.  She will be here by 9 followed by Jr and his kids.  He is taking the shelves downstairs.  I had a conversation with neighbor Kim the other day she wanted them for her daughter's new endeavor called a horse trailer bar.  Anyway that will be a story for another time.   We thought in the morning would be better because she has grandma duty tomorrow night.  So I put one fan in the office to bring up with me.  I will bring the other one up tomorrow morning. 

 

We will be working on Sunday as well.  I am not sure what time.  I think she may have said in the morning as well.  If that’s the case I can do grocery shopping then.  I also need to put some effort in getting rid of papers and putting things for journals and diaries into some order.

 

So Shadow and I spoke today and resolved some issues that were bothering us.  I told her how I felt and apologized for anything I may have said or done.  So there won’t be a need to include the problems into the chat with Supervisor Christine next week.  She didn’t come in today.  I suspect it was because she didn’t have her tire repaired yet.  Anyway we received five crates of mail that our former courier service forgot to get recently and so Donna worked on that while I did the union thing and scanning.  I have two crates/totes of readdress mail to work on next week.

 

I went to the omni hotel rally today.  Unfortunately, I had to go there myself as my ride was cancelled due to a family emergency.  I was a little late and I almost decided to bale too but I promised and so I got my things and drove down there.  I wasn’t sure if I would find a spot on the street or had to park in the garage.  I saw some people I recognized and beat a drum (pail) and the Local 34 President came around  11;30.  I took the opportunity to share the news about the move.  I left there before 12 and headed back to the office making a stop at Mickey D’’s on Whalley.  I ate it when I got back to the office and got back to work.  It's fuzzy as to what i did (the refund scanning prep). 

 

AnnB came to pick up the cuckoo Clock after 1.  We had a visit until about 1:30.  We got caught up in the storm and talked about our cats and then about work as AmandaR joined us.  It was about then when my consciousness began to bother me.  I went back and finished the work.  It took until after 4 to finish this rather large batch. 

 

I left shortly after that and managed to get home after 4:30.  I sat down and relaxed.  The cats became indignant that I didn’t feed them right away.  I took the opportunity to refill the containers I have been using to store the food..  Once they were fed I made my dinner and watched tv.  I fell asleep at one point  and had some coffee but I am hoping it won’t kick in. 

 

I did put some laundry in because I don’t want it hanging out while Liz is here and want it done before the weekend is finished.  I am going to try and get up early and do more shredding.

 

I was so pleased to find another letter from Authoress51 in my mailbox this week.  I will be spending time this weekend writing to her.  We are definitely going through some of the same issues and challenges right now. 

 

But for now I need to get some sleep.

 

 

 

 

Been So Long

 

It’s been so long since I last actually posted any of my blog entries this week.  I keep saying I will go back over them and finish them and then post but then more time goes by and gets away from me.

The house and condo situation:  Well Liz and I have been making a lot of progress with clearing out project.  We managed to get the cellar cleaned out with the help of a friend of hers and of my BIL.  Made several trips to goodwill and made a trip to the dump.  Some of the things that are left will be going to friends and family.  In the weekend coming up I believe we will be working on the Attic and then bedrooms, and then office and then finally the kitchen and dining room. 

Jim will be speaking to “He who will not be named” by Labor Day and apprising him of the progress.  I am told that Liz suggested that Jim also discuss perhaps begin the process of having “he who will not be named (the lawyer)” removed as the trustee and perhaps make my siblings the trustees.   It would involve some of the proceeds of the sale of the house to do that. 

My Niece has been searching for prospects and has brought to my attention as recent as yesterday of five potential places.  Three are about 4 miles away.  Another one I have looked at before and is close to my sister and to the Nursing home I used to volunteer at.  Another one is 9 minutes northwest of here.  Near what is known as route 1 and in between Orange and Milford.

My hope is we can look at them this weekend.  I have also let her know that I would be willing to take time off from work to go looking as well.  She says evenings and weekends would be best for sellers and we will do the best. 

Jim will be coming up in the next two weeks (to help I hope) and to pick up stuff I have collected for him to take into possession. 

Finances or budget:  I am constantly reworking the budget I have and been doing better without using the credit cards (all but one has been shredded).  Jim told me in our last phone conversation that if this method isn’t working for me (using only one in emergency) that  can always request new ones to be ordered.  As of right now the minimum payments are being made.  It has been suggested to me to look into consolidation loans from the credit Union I belong to.  When I suggested this to my Brother and Sister they both had reservations on this.   I will try again with J when he comes up.

Health:  With all that is going on I am managing to get exercise through the clearing out of the house (who needs weight lifting when you can haul heavy objects and items up and downstairs and to cars etc.).  I have been walking at least once a day at work weather permitting.

I have had some doctor visits recently that went well.  The hematologist last week liked the numbers from recent blood tests.  I had my infusion earlier this week and another next month.  I have a dermatology appointment, pulmonary, also next month.

I haven’t seen the inside of the gym since last Saturday but keep saying maybe later or tomorrow.  I haven’t signed up for classes because by the time I get home at night I am tired and now that we are beginning the in person search for condos I won’t have time.

Work:  The issues with DCS scanning have been finally resolved and yesterday began the scanning.  It was about access and the staff that worked on it was taking their time.  Now that that has been resolved I will now have to rearrange my daily routine with these things.

Shadow and I are about ready to have it out before she goes on vacation.  She has been speaking rather rudely to me of late and I am done.  I had told her supervisor today before I left.  I also told my on-site team leader.  She has been barking orders to me regarding mail and I really need to remind her that we may not be each other’s boss but I am the mail lead.  I need to ask questions on whether or not things came in.  WE are having a chat about what I will do while Shadow is gone.  We were already given instructions about certain things (I can scan documents to people it was a challenge I have met).

As a matter of fact starting next month TRS department/ courier service will be doing the mail runs.  One of the reps will be delivering mail that hasn’t been delivered by the other service later today.  It really should have been given to them from the very beginning.

The negotiations are going along.  Some new proposals from the union have been submitted and now they are waiting for counter-proposals.  WE have a rally later today for the Omni hotel unions.  They are our sister unions and the corporation not hiring back from the pandemic.  The recent negotiation updates are not being made public yet.

I did let the committee know I have personal issues that will conflict with activities with the union.  They managed to get me to volunteer for this activity today.

Family updates:  Earlier this week the anniversary of Mom’s death.  We didn’t make much of it but it was felt by me because of the current situation and the fact I was stressing out with Liz at one point.

We finally had a family reunion via zoom on my mother’s side of the family recently.  There were 12 of us.  Some came late but it was great.  They were told of my plans to move.  No criticisms or judgements just curiosity.

My Niece’s future DIL lost her Grandmother yesterday so in addition to the final preparations and countdown to the wedding they have to prepare and navigate through the funeral process.  This may not be appropriate in this item but said wedding invitations came in the mail today.  I am looking forward to this.

All of Liz’s kids are getting ready or have returned to school this week amid various groups expressing concerns about the plans or the validity of the plans for the return to school in Connecticut.  Some teachers want it done differently, Parents, Bus drivers also express concerned as well.

Jim’s kids are doing well.  Kristian is working, Emily is working, and James has returned to school and started classes.

Angel Brother’s kids are doing well.  As I said earlier I am expecting D&R to come up and get the remaining dishes from her collection. John has moved to Fayetteville to the Army base.  Rob is…well Rob.

The Kitties: I keep thinking they don’t understand what is going on around here with the cleaning.  So every chance I get I tell them we will be starting a new adventure.   When anyone comes they hide or sleep. They have been sleeping and hiding in weird places (weirder than usual).  Furniture they haven’t slept on at all they now sleep on.  Sky is currently grooming himself (note to self-expect hairball).  They are primary concern during the condo hunt/house cleaning.  I have been told they don’t react well to change.  Well most cats generally don’t like change.

I am not letting them down in the cellar anymore after I broke some class punch servers.  I cleaned it up when I dropped them Wednesday but there were some remnants of it left.

My Volunteering activities:  With the Corvid 19 pandemic (or post pandemic) continuing there hasn’t been much going on.  At least from where I see things.  There haven’t been many meetings either on line or in person. 

I did contact my 4^th District chairman and another friend from the district yesterday and told them of the plans to put the house on the market.  I am expecting an email in my inbox tomorrow morning from at least one of them.  The election is more than 9 weeks away.  Aside from the primary I have not received any alerts for campaigns or volunteering.

The Ladies Guild is supposed to start next month.  What have I heard? Not a thing.  I ran into Tori who is the Religious education coordinator for the church, and school at the grocery store and she eluded we won’t be able to have food at the meetings.  There hasn’t been anything in the bulletins or anything like that.  I will have to email the new president and ask her what’s going on.  I will also tell her the plans for the house.

I am getting the distinct feeling that the Recreation Director at the nursing home isn’t going to call me back anytime soon.  Actually I am okay with that.  It was time for me to move on anyway.

The Weather: Its been sunny for the most part until yesterday when we had some severe thunderstorms and tornados.  North Haven, Hamden, and New Haven were hit pretty bad.  I can agree to that as I left the office yesterday.

Well it’s nearly 3 in the morning and I will be getting up in a couple of hours to get ready for work.  So I will check in later today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man am I beat

 

Well when we last met I discussed the past week’s activities and the plans for yesterday

I went to meet with Alex for our second to last session (Tuesday will be the final one) he tells me I still have two more weeks I can do the classes.  He will also be discussing with the gym manager about allowing me to “cash in” if you will my points that I have collected over the years and possibly get two months of free classes.  In the mean time I will attend class until the end of the month. 

I told him all the things I ate this week (well except the brownie) and why I hadn’t made it to the gym.  We discussed grocery budgets and the best foods.  He did say to have rice but not the minute rice but uncle Bens.  We discussed what would be good and just what to do with diet and the choices.

After wards I headed home.  I still had about an hour or so before Liz came over.  We talked earlier via text.  She needed to come later (and I agreed).  This gave me time to do some more laundry and straighten up a little bit more.  As I told her I was afraid it would stress and she said no.  She wasn’t going to Judge and if she didn’t like all she had to do is go home and leave it behind. 

We spent a few minutes organizing and talking about the move and stuff.  We started off in the guest room.  We have tagged stuff to be either saved or taken out.  We got rid of stuff that needed to be sent to good will or the trash.  We finished just a little after 4.

Liz was put out by the way Next door’s driveway was.  I explained in order to have that the new shack he had to measure and it came out that he owned it.  She thought he was a little rude.  I think she may have forgotten the conversation she had with him years ago.

 

 

She also didn’t like the fact the neighbors across the street park in front of my house all the time and ask why they don’t park in front of theirs.   I reminded her they can park where ever they want.  She isn’t the only one who says this to me when they come over but (this was the first time in a couple of years she has been here) I personally want to get into it with them.  They don’t live here and my sister should know better. 

She also doesn’t like the way my Cleaning lady does the cleaning.  I do but not this week.  I did end up telling Livia last week there are changes coming regarding the house.  I may have to reconsider her as my cleaning lady.

Anyway back to purging story.  We spent about an hour and half ID’ing and emptying out crap I don’t need from the guest room and the attic stairway.  Between the two of us deciding and emptying I got tired.  AT one point Liz says she was doing all the work she stopped herself.

We had at least three bags of crap for the garbage, recyclable, and good will.  She did say to me that my nephews Mike and Bryan will come and empty or take the stuff out or get a dumpster.  I had told her earlier I saw some coupons for that 1-800 Got Junk Company.  That could also be an alternative.

At the end of that we discussed what should be done next.  We will be doing this for the next several weekends and during the week.  In subsequent texts she reminded me to text my niece D and tells her I have stuff of her father’s and asked if she wants it.  Then text Jim and ask about pictures we found of his wedding to C and of the kids coming to America when they were adopted.  Some of these were in Letters to Mom. 

She also suggested that as we go along find boxes to collect again and make the sunroom the packing location.  It doesn’t have to be done right now but as we go along.

Liz seems to think we should do the attic and cellar next and the Kitchen and other rooms later.  That they will take the longest to clear out and put away eventually.  Once that’s done maybe call Cheryl and begin the search process. 

She reminded me earlier when we were talking of what to keep or let go that I won’t have that much money to get things.  A part of me can’t help think even though she wants me in a safe and good place that she is expecting me to be restricted in many ways.  Of course I will be restricted but I am not comfortable with what she is expecting or hoping.

She also told me as much as Jim is being good with her about this she doesn’t really trust him.  That he has hurt her too much and really doesn’t believe he will continue to be helpful or whatever.  I was worried at how long this Détente would last.

As I was leaving for Good Will I saw next door and told him what the end results of the activities last week.  I had already told him about Lawyer man’s behavior.  He asked when do I expect to put the house up and I told him wasn’t sure but probably the holidays.  He was kind and said He was sorry to see me go.

I am holding off telling the other neighbors for now.  I am sure they were wondering what I was doing yesterday.  I am holding off because I do share way too much and as you know back pedal on decisions.

When I texted D about her father’s things I also told her that I changed my mind about moving and that it wasn’t financially feasible.  She asked me what changed my mind and so I called and left a voice mail.  I don’t remember if I told her how much debt I was in.  Afterwards I had visions of her calling Jim demanding we fight lawyer man.  I also hoped she would call me back so I could fill her in with what I told her.  I know I left out some stuff.

I heard from Mama Roberta last night.  We are still waiting on news about Dr. T and her recent tests and surgery.  I also told her of the decision to acquiesce to lawyer guy.  I will tell her more in our semiweekly check in later on Sunday.

The rest of Sunday was supposed to go to class but I am not making it but will exercise. 

I have some errands to make and then plan some grocery shopping to do.  I told Liz what my plans for budgeting and revising grocery stuff and wardrobes and stuff.

I may just relax for the day and get ready for the week ahead.

I am also very pleased that Authoress51 and I will be pen pals.  I have been following her on her blogs now for quite some time and we actually met via Zoom at the Meetup virtual Trivia games this past spring. 

Speaking of pen pals this guy sent me and a few others a pen pal request and it really was unpleasant.  Two people chastised him and demanded that he not contact them.  I put in my two cents and asked not to be included and I apologized to those he offended and wished them well.  For some reason one of them reposted the original email.  I just deleted it.

The weather right now is not making me move fast.  It’s overcast and expected some rain.   The temps seem cooler than in the past week.  I still have the AC on.

A Definite Milestone

 

I must begin this entry with an apology for the symphony of chirping crickets lately.  I have been going through some challenging times since Tropical storm Isaias.  The day after it hit I noticed the gutter needed repair and so I called my lawyer/Trustee (if you have been following me for while it was set up long before Mom died) to let him know it needed to be fixed.  He didn’t see it but came and surveyed the property and started a bullying campaign to reissue the whole “we need to put the house on the market” .  We argued and by the end of the conversation he hung up on me.  He sent me a very insulting voice mail by the end of that same week after my brother spoke to him.

   My family and I met at the beginning of the week with my therapist to discuss what could be done but came to the conclusion that it isn’t worth fighting him.  We are not giving in but I cannot afford to manage this big house. My brother spoke to him and got the SOB to back off as long as we made efforts to restart the process of cleaning out the house and look for a more manageable  residence.  My family has been very supportive of me and we agree that this guy is chauvinist and a whole slew of other adjectives I won’t dignify with.

So I have restarted a budget and working to get the debt down.  I have been getting advice from how to fight him, to how to best search for the new place (I have been looking but there are some variables that I don’t know yet) to budget shopping for groceries etc.   My sister will be coming over to help the purging process begin today.

So the milestone I was going to write about was 58 years ago today my family moved into the house I am about to give up.  AT that time it was my parents and my three older siblings.  I was born two weeks later.  So for my 58^th birthday in two weeks I will be in the middle of a new start. 

Work is going okay.  The scanning machine problem is still a problem and we are waiting on someone to do something.  WE have been very patient and we do have scanning to do.  I have been working on refund scanning and that is done through the copier.

The parking lot that we use is in the beginning stages of being repaired so we have had to park in a small adjacent lot near the building but have to be careful not to park in the school parking lot that we share.  We have been getting warnings to move or be towed.

The University is preparing for the fall semester that starts in two weeks.  Some departments are still mixed with on campus working and remote working.  We are constantly being reminded about the social distancing and to wear the mask when needed. 

Labor negotiations are currently going on and I am pretty sure they are still a little rough.  I was not at the last meeting because my brother was arriving at the same time.  I am pretty sure I will be hearing about it next time.

I have been trying to get out and walking at break times and lunchtimes except the last couple of days because I wanted to focus on work or I wasn’t here for part of the week.  Sadly I am finishing up the last two sessions with Alex this coming week.  I had to let him go because of my current financial crisis.  He was absolutely understanding and wonderful about it.  He will be there to reach out if I need to. 

I would like to say I have been trying to follow my diet but I recently made buttered spaghetti and clearly not on the diet.  I had it for dinner the last couple of nights.  My reasoning is flawed.  I attributed to the new grocery budget.  I have been looking at budget meal plans online recently so hopefully I will be able to follow it.

I will be keeping the gym membership and they have been all very kind.  Again it would be great if I actually got there.  I was there Tuesday but the rest of the week not so much.  I won’t be able to go to the classes as they are additional (part of the Edge Strong program).  I was just told I have them until the end of the month so I can still go to the classes until my birthday.  However I will be doing the routines or whatever the word is for it on my own. That is if I force myself to the gym.

The rest of the family seems to be busy with the end of summer activities and bridal shower events.  I went to the bridal shower last weekend for my great niece to be and it was a blast despite the turmoil going on with me.  The people were great, the scenery was great, and of course so was the food.  Gina got so many wonderful gifts I wonder what’s left on the Registry for the October nuptials.

 I have finally found out more about a new pen pal.  She recently sent me an intro letter that was like her emails to me lately.  It was short and sweet.  I am working on her letter now and updating her file.  She is from South Carolina but is originally from Texas. 

Well I need to move along and do some more stuff before the gym and before sis gets here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Lazy Afternoon

Somehow my afternoon after 12 pm, whizzed by me. We did our normal routine at the beginning of the day and I fell back to sleep for a bit and then spent time on the laptop. I was surfing the net and chatting with a pen pal who was having a hard day. 

Missy lost a dear friend of hers of 19 years to Corvid19 and it was difficult.  He did a lot of stuff for her and she was just sharing the things he did for her.  She shared news about her mom that I didn’t know and it was fairly tough.

I went to the gym this morning and did the class.  We had it outside despite the clouds above.  We were just waiting for the rain to start it didn’t come until we were already gone.

I never got the water bottle that I left there on Thursday.  I checked yesterday and again today and it wasn’t there.  I thought she found it for me.  Either she lied or someone threw it away.  It belonged to RH from the DTC. 

I did manage to go to rite-Aid yesterday and buy the Copper fit face masks both were $10 bucks, and I got a gift card, and a bag of white chocolate Reeses cups.  It definitely is not on my diet.  I also mentioned to the lady that the people at the rite aid near the house need to learn better customer service techniques.

I talked with Liz yesterday.  We talked about the shower.  She finally gets that I am going and that I got the gifts (I learned the first part of the gift was delivered last week) and then we talked about the family reunion zoom meeting on Mom’s side.  I had to send her J’s email.  I also reminded her that our DLBH sent us the list a long time ago.  She wasn’t overly excited to find out that our niece Diane was invited.  I neglected to tell her that I invited her. We talked about our nephew John who D reminded me that he is going through a lot right between is relocation to the lower 48 and his lady losing her mother.

My Coworker sent me a link to order masks from Mykitsch.com.  I bought 2 packages of 4 and they should be here next week sometime.  They are made of cloth and can be washed.

I did go grocery shopping and managed to get desserts mostly (yogurt, pudding, Jell-O, fruit) and some more salmon, fresh veggies, and frozen veggies, and my milk and creamer.  I am trying really hard to not go through the pudding but it’s a challenge.

I love it.  We are currently under a tornado watch for most of the state and I turn on the TV and what is on?  Twister! It’s like the stations, networks catch on and put stuff like this on. 

It was in the 80’s for most of the day and cloudy.  It rained only once so far and that was at 1.  I don’t know if we will be getting anymore thunderstorms tonight or not.  Around 6 I heard thunder but nothing else. The weather people are keeping an eye on the Tropical storm that’s making its way up here.  IF we get anything it will be Tuesday. 

Well I have an hour before I have to go to bed so I am going to play a few more rounds of Words with Friends. 

 

An Early Gym Day

I received a message from Alex last night asking if I could come in before the 8:30 class and it was like a message from the heavens.  I have signed up for the setback card game meetup for this afternoon.  I wanted to be able to go and not be late.  So I left after 7:30 and had my session with Alex and had class with him.

I made the promise to not miss a day at the gym because of no reason.  So I have to be at the gym as much as possible (short of the infusions or death).  I am already scheduled for tomorrow.  As soon as I am able to register for Monday’s and Tuesday’s classes I will).

The weather is beautiful right now.  It is not too hot or humid.  It was very cool this morning that we got to work outside for class.  It is 87 now and looks sunny to me.  I will probably not go to any of the meetups that were scheduled for today.  Unfortunately we may be getting severe thunderstorms for tomorrow.  The latest Hurricane is expected to come up this way.  I really should have gone grocery shopping tonight but I don’t want to.

I signed up for the Setback game and I am pretty sure it’s not happening.  They also have a sunset beach party going on at Hammonasset State park.  However, I don’t have a beach sticker and I am out of town.   Needless to say I changed my rsvp for one and didn’t sign up for the other.  I did sign up for the midweek meetup.

 

The rest of the time I did some laundry and watched TV and attempted a short walk but now I am going to bed.  Another of my weekend radio programs is about to start.
