KateP's musings

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 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 ...

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  an...
