It really is fall

It was really chilly (50’s) this morning that I had to put on a coat.  It was my combo leather/sweater jacket that really isn’t the type to keep you warm.  I don’t want to get those out yet but I am sure it will be time soon. I also don’t want to turn on the heat either.  

It was great cuddling with the kitties last night.  Tiger was the first to go up with me and around 1 Sky nudged into his spot until maybe 4 this morning.  They were running around crazy a few times last night before then. I wasn’t sure if they had gotten into the chocolate chips that had dropped on the floor.

I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed being at bingo yesterday and how much I missed being there!  Even after all my bitching the last few weeks about not being told the schedule had been changed for Grandparents day.  WE had 17 residents playing this week. That’s the most in a long while. So despite all my blathering I don’t think I will be stopping volunteering for bingo anytime in the near future (unless the ED has other plans).

I managed to get most of the laundry done and made phone calls to the dryer repair guy who called me this morning with numbers and when i called him back he said he would look at it this saturday.

Since I still can’t use my computers at home and  I am still not used to using my phone as the main source of internet access.  I am trying to catch up on things that I may have missed. I let Chairman Phil know that the mins will be late.  AT Lunchtime I placed a call to computer tech Lee and just waiting for his return call.

Got an email earlier this morning from LGPres informing us there is a bake sale and flower sale this coming weekend.  I know have to get more ingredients for the no bake cake (I ate the crust last night) i can do that near the end of the week.

There is canvassing tonight for Candidate Cindi and tomorrow for all candidates.  I committed myself for tonight after 6:30. I was planning on going after my session  with Alex tomorrow and I think that will work (but if we are canvassing and the weather is expected to get messy then it's going to be phone banking).

Got an email from Dr. T today and she forwarded a message from a former GFWC-CT President who has been our ally and friend in our early days.  The woman has been dealing with cancer and is expected to have surgery this winter.

It is Homecoming time for many of the schools this month.  All the schools I have attended (mostly Endicott and Linden Hall) have been sending out a lot of Alumni notifications for activities and events.  The Interim President of Endicott sent out a Presidents notification reflecting on the loss of Richard Wylie who passed away in early spring. On Facebook there have been many discussions regarding memories of Linden Hall and I believe they have already sent out Save the date cards for next years Reunion Weekend.

Well I have to get back to work..............

ENJOY the day...

The Do Not Call List

Last night I heard the answering machine beeping.  I checked it and it was some law firm talking about a “law suit”.  The number they gave me I looked up and it was one of those IRS scam numbers.  I called the number on the ID and knew it was a scam and they wanted my name.  I told them I would contact the law if they call me again.  This is about the third or 4^th time I have gotten these calls.

So my question is what is the point of having the FEDERAL “Do not call list”? When these kinds of scams continue?  I got a couple of the “Fireman’s and Policeman’s Association” calls last month and I had just put my numbers on the lists.

I did get a message from Livia she was able to arrange her schedule for today to come and clean the house after 12:30. I was grateful.  I left her money and access to the house.  She won’t have to make my bed since I changed the sheets last night.  I didn’t do the guest room yet but it wouldn’t surprise me if she does it before I get home.

Work has been good.  The mail volume very small so I worked on the refunds for most of the day.  We have one more day until the rebranding begins.  We found out the company that was helping with the rebranding went under so the stationary that we were expecting won’t be here for another couple of weeks so we have to use up the stuff we do have.  I actually still have more e training to do.  If I get lots done today I may spend the afternoon working on the training sessions.

We got word yesterday and late last week the NLRB has ruled that Grad students can and will be recognized as unions where ever they are.  Local 33 is filing certification papers with the NLRB to be certified so they can vote on unionizing.

I received message that the LH alumni bulletin will be coming out soon.  I don’t remember if its digital for me or hard copy.  It will be cool either way.  I still have to remember to send Miss S her birthday card.  It was requested that we all send one by a deadline and so she could get them all.

Apparently I need to catch up on some Endicott alumni emails.  I missed a whole bunch of stuff including a news letter, activities and invites (not that I can easily attend them).  I will update once I go through them.

Dear Friends:


It is early Sunday Morning,  Sunday Morning Baroque is playing on the computer radio.  The sun isn’t expected to come out at all today and the weather forecast is calling for rain showers tonight.

After helping with dinner dishes I came upstairs and surfed the net.  I did my weekly clearing out of emails including ones for LH and Endicott.  I had forgotten I had gotten quarterly Fund requests and reports.  They are constantly looking for Money and as much as I would like to help them out I can’t but it is fun to see what they do with the money.   For example both LH and Endicott have new buildings for their students and administration  and provide an education with.  I would love to visit both campuses and see for myself the changes.  got so tired last night that I just plopped into bed without saying good night to Mom. 

Today should be pretty much the same as yesterday.  Washing laundry  and finish changing over seasonal wardrobes.

Well I am going to get going and get ready…

Check in with you all later.
