KateP's musings

It is a cool beautiful morning. I have been up nearly just over an hour and I am so well rested I think. I have already paid the rest of the bills due this month and had breakfast and started laundry. I need to get my eyeglasses fixed (or perhaps get a new pair) because they are so bent and really scratched. Mom is downstairs shampooing the rugs and the runner that will be in the hallway upstairs. Then she is going to wax the floors downstairs. Then I am not sure what she has planned until we leave for the triple birthday party The Triple birthday party is at Cheryl and Mike’s house and is for their 17 year-old son, and her father, and their Sister in Law Lisa. They will have lots of food, and drink, and probably what ever sports team is playing today on the tube. The best part is I get to see Jason and Audrey swim. Well at least Jason is swimming I am not so sure about Audrey yet. She didn’t last year. Mom and I will probably get there by three. As you may remember she doe...

Man today was a long day. I started the day with a small headache from the back of my head and then it progressed to the front. I mentioned this in my Kate's Journey with Lupus: Headaches entry. The mail volume was heavy but I will finish it in the morning. I was also distracted by a birthday party for A Lopez. There is some back story to that as well. I walked in with her this morning and she seemed as though she was slightly put out that no one remembered her birthday yesterday. Well I had known (and possibly gave it away) that Niamba was going to do something for her. Later when I told Evette about it she was upset and explained that Arcenia asked that nothing be done for her. Now I know Arcenia has been like this for years. There was an argument between the ladies and as a result Arcenia moved her seat. When I left for the day it was a little after 4. The aches and pains subsided for a bit but they would come back later after I had taken down the curtains and washed the window...

I don’t know how I managed to get up late and still get to work on time but I did. I got up at quarter of seven showered and dressed and got online and still left before 7:30. I think it had to do with the volume of traffic as well. The work day went very well despite some early morning power failure. I guess it started last night when the entire network went down. Later on I find out there was flooding from another floor. The hospital floors were in complete darkness. Our network came back on by 9. I got everything done by 2 and managed to clean my desk and help Liz purge some files. The volume of the mail for today was light but I still had to finish yesterdays and that went very well. Donna C came back to work today and I stopped by to convey my sympathies. I think many did it and I hope I didn’t make it worse. I told her if she wanted to talk to come see me. After work I went to my appointment with Dr Martin . It was pretty quick and by 5:00 I was on my way home. It...

I have so much going through my head right now. I did not get a chance to write at all while at work. Although I found time to get online a few times. I left here a little after 7:15. Mom was just getting up and having coffee and about to get ready fro her meeting at Bridges. The drive in wasn’t bad at all. Well maybe when I was pulling into the parking spot. One car was coming at me and didn’t look like he was going to stop. Thankfully he did. I kvetched about it to someone. I got to the office a little before 8 and managed to pick up the mail from Customer Service and Registration. I even took some to Registration. The day went pretty well. I started off with the charts and there were like 32 (I counted them) MR. Mike from Gofor had to bring them in two totes (the long ones that look the chests you bring to college. I sorted them and delivered them. While I was sorting Arcenia brought me the lockbox for today. It wasn’t bad but would have to until I did yesterday’s post office mail. ...

Good Morning! It is after 8:30 and there is a light rain coming down outside. I am doing some ironing before I go to the nursing home. Mom is downstairs reading her paper. I had a pretty good sleep. I had some really weird dreams and one of them had to do with the Charmed TV show. I can’t remember it all but it was weird. Well it is after 12:30 and I have been home an hour. I started reading the article that I mentioned here and updated that journal. I will probably write some more letters and straighten up the room. I did catch some TV watching. The Steve Martin Movie Cheaper by the Dozen is on. I helped Mom with some of the weeding. I wasn’t out there long. I might be going out there again later. Right now it went from partly cloudy back to cloudy and 68 degrees. In the last couple of hours it’s been fairly quiet. Mom has been hanging around and we had a visit from Representative Dick Roy. He was handing out flyers for the Annual Woodmont Day Event that’s next month. ...
