KateP's musings

      I am having a slow morning (as usual).   I spent the night on the couch.   I woke up and completed my morning routine. I Went back for a short time until the NCIS marathons started. My plans for today are the same as every Saturday.   The tasks are to clean the house, go grocery shopping, and search for shoes.    I didn’t get all that done yesterday.   A 20-minute gym workout is planned for later. Yesterday, I went to Target and purchased some items. I got two workout outfits, and some other stuff.    One of them was the Lumi body spray.   I hope I won’t be sorry.   I read a negative product review. I also had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.   It was their southwest Chicken sandwich , and fries, and soda.   It came to $15. Their lunch special.   It tasted great, but the breading and heat irritated my sensitive gums.    I tried to gargle later but it wasn’t working.   Everything I...

  It was a beautiful cool sunny morning.   I am afraid I didn’t sleep well.   I woke up a few times during the night and got on the phone to plat solitaire and finally got some sleep when it was time to get up.   I fed Sky and went back to sleep until 8. I was still tired by the time I left for church. I tried to take my blood pressure.   It’s still high but I don’t want to call the doctor.   I feel fine.   I don’t want the meds to change, they all taste horrible and make me gag. I took my time getting ready for church, but I managed to get there at a decent time.   President Martha and her husband were there as well the 9 am mass was just letting out and there was still time until 10.   WE didn’t sell that many tickets, but we still have St Agnes too, After Church I was going to go grocery shopping but instead, I went home and didn’t do very much.   I got a text from Liz about a banana bread that Cousin Donna, made.   So, I w...

  Everything was fine up to then.  First thing, as I was going grocery shopping I went to get my new sunglasses (the ones I bought on AMazon?) and one of the lenses falls out.  My first reaction was (insert whatever you want here).  Luckily it went back in and hasn’t fallen out since but it makes me so mad when things like this happen.  I guess I get what I paid for it. As I was leaving for the store my neighbor Beverly (unit 12) whom I have been wanting to get to know, popped up at my window as I was pulling out of the parking space and about to take off.  I was scared out of my wits.  I also didn’t react kindly.  When I realized who it was I apologized and we chatted for about 20 minutes.  Mind you I was also blocking the road way.  A few cars had to go around me.  I hope my behavior didn’t put B off.  I don’t know if she even said anything to her roommate who I speak to often.   Then while I was shopping this woman...

  I have been up since 5:30 and I am trying to finish the laundry.    At the moment the mattress cover is in the wash and subsequently the sheets will follow.   The cats are around here somewhere (its still dark) and have been fed and watered.   In a short while I will take my early morning walk and then go grocery shopping since I didn’t do that yesterday.   It’s a small list at the moment but I also have to pick up a couple of prescriptions as well.   After that the house cleaning will commence. I had a visit from Liz yesterday.   She brought me another pair of jeans but this time they were a little too baggy.     She saw that I had the other pair she bought me on Wednesday.   She asked if I am supposed to be wearing them to work.   I said yes.   I didn’t get antsy about it.   We had coffee until about 6 and chatted for an hour.   I was planning on doing cleaning but I got as far as the counters in the ki...

  Well I didn’t get too far with the quotes yesterday.   I am not surprised.   I looked online at one and tried to call them but 1) this particular place out of East Haven is closed weekends.   2) They tell you to give some details of what you need but don’t give you a quote until you call.   Well I am not sure what to say yet.   I am also guessing most of the others are close for the weekend now too.   I did go over the Optimum packages so I don’t have to keep paying $223 and change.   My goal today is to get the house cleaning done, and get to the closet.   Not really accomplishing that at the moment.   I will.   My reasoning for that is we are supposed to get a rainy Sunday afternoon.   My hope is it will spur me to do it Today is my Niece Diane’s Birthday.   My memories of her over the years are mixed emotions.   She was a funny little child when she first came to us and she was on her second and final return ...
