KateP's musings

  Nine months ago was our official first night/move in day at the condo.     We pickmonths earlier and LawyerBob 1 made an offer on the condo.     On the 10th moved out of the ed the condo house on the 10th, and that saturday in the rain the furniture and everything else arrived.     I spent the next couple of days unpacking and setting up.     The condo was signed for on the 14th at 6 pm.     After Liz and I finished shopping for things for the condo we went back to her house and I picked up the cats and my suitcase and headed back to the condo.     Been there ever since.     All the furniture is in its place.     There are some pictures up but not all.     Overall, I love my condo.  Maybe there are a few things that need replacing or updating like teh shower head in the bathroom, or the backdoor that needs replacing.  I love my neighbor's exception when a few of them star...

I don’t know what it is but I am feeling better today than I have in a few days.   The sun is shining and I think its well into the 70s at this point.   Partial clouds but no rain expected. Yesterday turned out great.    There was a power failure on the campus that made connecting through VPN hard and for the others to use epic and I thought I would miss the Embracing change class.      I didn’t.   The power outage seemed to be resolved by the end of the business day. So the class was very good.   I had to sign into the zoom with my email and password and connect through Facebook.   It used my profile picture and I later found I could undo it to be live.   I was afraid I messed up on the zoom log on for future zoom activities.   We will just have to see. I learned a lot from this class it has a lot of good tips and information on dealing with change.   I just have to remember to do the work for these classes prior. ...

i can’t believe its Friday again.   This entire week flew by and I don’t know if I got a lot done or not. I remember sometihng Mom told me many years ago that I can’t just exist in the world I have to be doing something.   I guess that’s why every other day I get to feeling guilty that all I did is sit and didn’t do much. My plan to go to sleep early last night never saw the light of night.   I did try but I wanted to finish ysterday’s babble of an entry. A part of me focused on committing to the gym.   That met with mixed results.   I knew I would fall back into the old ways.   Skip classes, eat things I wasn’t really supposed and make up for it some other way.   I did get some walking in as well. i set the alarm for 4 this time so I would be getting up in time to feed the cats and leave for the 6 am class. I slept through the alarms but managed to get up and go and even the cats got fed. I am thinking i did a lot of writing WHETHER IT was i...

I thought for sure ordering a new credit card for my lost card would be hassle.   In some ways it was (couldn’t talk to a human) but after a second try I was able to get the old one cancelled and the new one ordered and it should be here by next Tuesday. I went to the gym yesterday and spent about an hour and half there and got a chance to see Alex.   Told him how things.   After the ice cream admission he said new day new beginnings.   I was disappointed that I couldn’t do the skier epileptics machine.   I managed one of the bikes.   I was planning on going this morning but nothing went right for me.   So I will go later this afternoon.   My pedometer once again got wonky on me thrice by the end of the night so I am not sure how many steps I did.. I had a little bit of time when I got home from the gym to relax and then feed the titans before getting ready for the meetup.   I ended up leaving later than I wanted to I had chatted with nei...

I did very little this morning.   The normal morning routine was done with a few minor adjustments.   I let the titans downstairs .    Then they did their own thing.   Sky spent a lot of time behind me on the couch but when I want them to hang out they disappear.   I found Tiger sitting on the rocking chair out back and I would imagine sky is upstairs somewhere.   I went looking for him and thought he may have gotten into the attic but he didn’t.   He was kind of pissed that I tricked him to come out by opening the door.   He has since gone under the bed. We never did get the thunderstorm last night but that’s okay plenty of time.   Several times today it rained hard then stopped.   Right now there seems to be a purplish hue to the sky.   There may be slight chances of rain over night.   My hope today was to get my errands done before it rained but I only got a few things done.   I managed to get some greeting car...

The sun was playing hide and seek with the world today (at least this part of the world).  It was predicting clouds for the  afternoon.  I am still not sure what will happen tomorrow for the hike.  I will see what it's like in the morning and what messages we get from Jan as well. I don’t know when it started to rain last night.  I think it was fine when I left the office and headed to Chipotle's restaurant for dinner.  Then to my session with Debra.  As the night progressed the thunder and lightning came.  We had gone to bed semi early because I didn’t see anything on TV.  The kitties were with me for a while until the thunder got loud.  Sky left and I am thinking he went under the bed.  Tiger stayed with me for a while but not sure where she went to for the night.  For all I know they may have curled up next to the wardrobe in the spare room where I found them before I left for the gym. As the day drew to a close I hea...

Today is my short day for work.  Of course DG isn’t here so I had to check the stuff she had from yesterday and do the mail pick up and delivery.  IT took me a while to get started on scanning.  I also played telephone tag with Central Registration department for my appt on Monday.  It also didn't’ help that I was chatting and was online for a short time and I think SR saw me.  But I let her know I knew she was there and she said she didn’t need anything.  But the messages were there.  I hope. So the snow ended sometime this morning and it was raining for a bit.  It would seem many along the shoreline got about half a foot (5-6 in).  There was an accident on the highway.  I don’t know all the details but from what I was told it was chalked up to stupidity.  SR thought it was me but it was much earlier in the morning. Not sure if I should be pleased or insulted. I heard from several friends, coworkers, and family members t...

I woke up to a headache today.   I think I was on the pillow that causes that I must be allergic to (sleeping directly on it without the pillow case). I took some Tylenol with coffee so I am hoping it will go away.   Either that I will be making jaunt to the bathroom soon. It looks like we will be getting the effects of Tropical Storm Nate for the next couple of days.   It’s a good thing I wasn’t planning on going out and attempting the weeding today.   It’s been obviously windy but not gale force.   It was in the mid 70’s according to the thermostat on the fan in the window.   I will be surprised if it gets any worse.   At least I can test the car’s ability in the rain.   I stand corrected it’s raining now.   It smells nice. I showed Liz the documents (via text) I got from the DMV yesterday and she said it does say Title but it’s not like the one she remembers.   She recommended I show it to the adjuster and I told her I alrea...

Today was the Med School’s Long Term Service Breakfast held at the  Child STudy  Center .  A fairly  large delegation from the office went.  It was a buffet of all breakfast stuff.  Muffins, doughnuts, bagels, etc.  THis was a big challenge for me as Courtney asked me to snap a picture of the buffet and show her what I was going to be facing.  SHe would be there via text to help me choose even though we went over the list  at our last visit.  WE will discuss it at our session tomorrow.  It was  a continental breakfast and there were many there who were less than appreciative for it.    Throughout the day i heard many times they were expecting pancakes, sausage, bacon.  I was not only getting annoyed but disgusted because well... They didn’t have to do this.  You want a full on breakfast?  Go to a restaurant.     I wore  my black and blue floral dress .  Even though it w...
