KateP's musings

  So Sunday afternoon or evening I met my sister and her friend at her house and the three of us along with Nelson 3 drove to Milford Harbor to take a 2 hour cruise.  AT first we parked on the other side of where we were supposed to be.  We met Liz’s Friend there as well.  So we parked and walked towards the docks.  We took pictures.  I was watching the other group that was going on with us.   Soon it was time to get on the boat.  As we settled in, the larger group would be sitting around the pedal table, the rest of us sat in the back.  That’s when we were told that the pedal mechanism was broken and we would be running the engine.   So we left the harbor and made out into the sound.  We were supposed to be going around Charles’s Island but the water was choppy.  I didn’t think it was that bad but I am not necessarily a boater.  We rode around close to the shore and then had to head back in because they were ha...

  When I started this I was sitting working on mailing claim forms from work and have another hour of it.  There seemed to be a lot for a Friday . Work has been going well lately.   I am keeping up with the mail flow a little better.  Some days the volume is light and some days not so much. More departments are returning to the building in hybrid mode.  THe communications dept for the university moved into the second floor this past spring/winter.  We barely see them but we have been getting their mail a little more. The Union across the campus has just voted a large amount of money (I am not against it) to support Local 33 in their continuing bid to be recognized as a union.  My area team (the people I update on activities) didn’t show up to the meeting (it was via zoom).  I am frustrated and disappointed.  THese were not the only things we focus on the larger scale.  There are a few fights brewing but I don’t have all the info to unde...

  Hello everyone.   I know I have been among the missing and I am sorry.   I still do not have a computer at home, and I do not like using the phone to blog if I can help it.   I will let you know I am fine and keeping busy.   I promise to make an update soon. My main reason for writing today is that I have been noticing many shelters and rescues in their ardor to bring to our attention the plight of abandoned and or surrendered pets.    AT least the ones I follow on FB.   I am so sick and tired of the shaming and guilt laying trips and the responses of the followers.   They have no right to decide who should or should not have a pet.   They do not know the circumstances. Those who are in Rescues, or shelters should keep their opinions and judgements to themselves.   Do they realize how hard it may have been to give up their animals and didn’t want to deal with the judgements.   Whatever the reason is.   I am seriously...
