KateP's musings

Oh how wonderful it is to feel refreshed. I actually am still a little tired but I still am waking up. I went to bed shortly after dinner last night. It was great. I left the office by 3:30 and even though traffic was a bit hairy I got to the Dr.’s office on time. I had the INR level checked (and giving the newbie doing it a playful hard time). It was low. It was 1.9. I have to go back next Friday. Mom bought new fans for around the house I have one in the window and it’s great. It’s a Bionaire fan. It is a nice quiet one. It made sleeping wonderful-but then with the rain shower last night it was much cooler. Yes we got some rain yesterday. We didn’t get as much as others did and apparently some parts of the state got thunder and lightening and heavy rain. Today is supposed to be much cooler. We had a weird experience yesterday some men came to our door and that of our neighbors soliciting sales for aluminum siding jobs. The guy was persistent to the point of being rud...

It has been a busy morning for me. I got up and got ready for work. As I was leaving I couldn’t find my ID holder. I found it while searching for it in my bag. As I was driving up Jones Hill I saw Cousin Danny waiting on the bus. I stopped and talked with him until we realized the bus was never coming. He hopped on his bike to West Haven Center and I headed to New Haven . Before going to bed last night I was looking through my Google Mail and noticed a pen pal request from March 19. I feel really stupid when I do this. Her name is Lisa and she is from Kansas. She is married and has two girls. I sent a reply tonight I hope she still wants to be pen pals (or e-pals). Anyway, I have set up a file for her under my Kansas pen pals folder. I have updated all the lists and will get a letter emailed to her soon. I have a couple of other letters I started and need to finish and mail this week. I hope they won’t be too angry (and quite frankly its too bad if they are). I write when I can and t...

It is after 5:30. The radio program All Things considered is on. In the other room the second hour of Charmed Monday Marathon is going on. I haven’t been home long. I came home and did some errands for Mom. She is heating up soup and making sandwiches. She hasn’t been feeling at all well today. I had a pretty good day today. Even though I didn’t really sleep well, I woke up several times during the night and wanted to get up early. I managed to get out at 7:20 and go to the store but I still was five minutes late for work. I got dropped off the rolls and the butter with Carol E and headed back to the office. I started working on the letters and then the charts. I worked on the letters a little longer before starting on the lockbox. While delivering the charts I found out that my coworker, friend, and colleague Pattie M lost her mother this weekend. Lee Ann told me and so I went to Susan to give her the charts and my contribution to the collection she was starting. It is to...
