Sunday Slowdown

 

Good morning, I hope you are enjoying this first day of fall.  It’s 62 out and its sunny.  The sky is spotted with clouds.  They are beautiful.  It’s supposed to get into the 70’s for the day and then down to the 60’s overnight.  There is a coastal flood alert/warning for today.

Today is going to be a quiet day, I think.  I have some chores to do but I will probably put it off until Wednesday after my infusion. 

Things are just getting started for the year with the Ladies Guild.  We had a meeting Monday Night to discuss the Auction night Dinner.  By the end of the week President Martha had a whole list of assignments and dates for the next couple of months.  I must read it over and see where I am at this point.    I am feeling a little overwhelmed and haven’t done anything yet. 

For the last several weeks been getting emails about the Endicott College home coming and reunion weekend that’s happening next weekend.  Sadly, I haven’t been back there since I left.  I never graduated from there but as you know you become an alumnus even if you didn’t graduate.

The New England Chapter of the Linden Hall School Alumnae is trying to schedule an autumn lunch.  I think they already had it in Boston.  It was scheduled for mid-week.  Trying to save emails is challenging. 

It is now almost 9 at night.  It’s been a quiet afternoon and evening.  I chatted with my Neighbor Addie and her boy Oscar.  Then I put steaks in the freezer and had some for a late lunch.  I surfed the net and watched tv.    

As the evening progressed, I washed the floors in the kitchen and bathroom with the Swiffer wet mop.  I am not sure they really work that well.  I may have to use a real mop and real cleaner.

 

 

 

 

I am here

 

Actually that should be we are here.  After much aggravation and challenges we have finally moved in.  We left Thursday afternoon.  I moved the cats in to my sister’s house/room we would spent the next several days.  We couldn’t move in on Friday as we had hoped as the bank hadn’t finished the paperwork.   The way Cheryl explained it to me was I could move my things in but I couldn’t sleep there until Monday.

We were expecting the movers who were a huge disappointment to come on that Friday afternoon but they didn’t even though we told them to come.  They told us we didn’t confirm it.  They came on Saturday 3 hours later than the promised.  They didn’t unload the small truck until they were paid.  First it was one price and then it came out to $940 dollars.

Saturday afternoon is becoming a faded memory I was pretty exhausted and I seem to remember we did some shopping for lamp shades.  Saturday night we had Pizza I think and I went to bed early.  I hadn’t been really sleeping much because the titans were destroying the box spring covering and constantly getting into the closet where we were staying.

Sunday I had to come back to meet up with the cable set up guy because when he was here the day before he couldn’t do anything until the TV got into the condo.  He was another one who said he would be here at a certain time and didn’t get here until a few hours later.   I did some unpacking and got the bed made.  Everything with the cable is fine but the house phone didn’t work but it doesn’t matter because I broke it the other day.  I was going to move it to the front room and it fell out of my hand.

Liz and I have been trying to get blinds for the windows.  We did but they don’t fit.  The guy who cut them for us at Home Depot didn’t do a very good job.  That was on Wednesday.  We worked on it until 5:30 and it was very difficult.  We are going to do something different.  If we get custom made ones it would be too expensive

I am trying to get my new accounts set up for the utilities and having a problem.  Its frustrating.  I am sure I have at least the accounts but they are not working.

WE had our first major snow storm this week.  Milford got seven to eight inches of snow.  IF you look out my window it seems like a lot more.    It started around 6 Wednesday night and finished mid-morning Thursday.

I was hoping my nephew Rich would come by (after the storm dissipated) and hang the mirrors and fix a few things but he didn’t come.   I am also waiting for my nephew in law to come and hook up the washer and dryer.  No confirmation yet.
