Dear Debra

Dear Debra:

Good Morning!  It is Christmas Day morning.  I have been up for a couple of hours.  I have already fed Vlad and Preston and watered the plants, and got out the cards to those who have belated holiday gift cards in them.  For the family at least.

I haven’t gotten the kids around here any gifts.  I may not be able to but I am not sure. I tried yesterday but it was too much.  

I did go to bingo like i said I would and it was fun especially when I learned one of the residents had visitors from Harrisburg PA.

I did manage to check in on the kitties and fed them.  I have to go and do that soon before I attempt at the shopping.  I do need to pick up a couple of other things like a Hostess gift (for Cheryl) and a couple of gift bags.  My Yankee Swap gift arrived yesterday. For some reason I thought there would be two. IT was only one and large at that.  Its a coffee Tumbler. Not sure it is worth $25.

We got snow.  Not much but enough to cover cars and sidewalks.  I am not sure how long it will be around but hey we got a White Christmas.  

I have to call the Pulmonary Doctor on Wednesday and ask him why he wanted me to get Prevnar?  The pharmacy called and said it had been waiting. I thought he wanted me to get that at the next visit.  I should have done it last week when i noticed it on the report but I didn’t.

I also have to make a trip to the gym.  There is a class at ten and I believe they are closing at 2 this afternoon.  I am not waiting until then to get there.

When I came home last night all I did was print up a letter I wrote to a cousin and then spent the evening watching TV and then eventually sleeping.  I wasn’t really feeling great either. It felt like I bruised something in my ribs. It hurt then but not anymore. Yes if it continues I will have it checked out.  I had some silly idea it was muscles or something after the food I had.

i tried not to go out today

If I didn’t have to walk Preston or go to the house to check on the kitties, or even go to work I would not have gone out today.  When i got to work I noticed the thermostat on the car.  It was 8 degrees!  By lunch time it was 14-16 degrees.  

The weather forecasts for the next few days is cloudy and very cold, and a possibility of some snow on Saturday.  New Year’s Day should be okay.

It’s been quiet here today.  I wasn’t sure if there would be a lot of mail this week and apparently there was.  Nothing came in for today that I can see.  IF it comes in tomorrow I will be surprised.  IF not I can do refund checks and scanning.

I had a dentist appointment tonight.  The whole thing took about an hour.  It was a hygienist and then exam.  I have to go back on the 16th for a filling.  I went and ordered something from Lassie’s.

As soon as that was done I headed back to the farm.  Speaking of that Nancy would like me to stay a little longer than planned while they stay a few extra days.  I fed Vlad and Preston and then ate.   I waited for a bit and then took Preston out.  I discovered later that I probably was very late in getting Preston out.  Somehow he got into the computer room and left deposits.  Everyone else has been watered and fed.

I contacted Kim back home and asked if she would check in on the kitties but haven’t heard anything yet.  If she doesn’t I don’t think one night will be bad without food.

Liz and I will be going to see “The Greatest Showman” starring Hugh Jackman tomorrow night.  I am looking forward to this.  I have heard Jackman sing before in Oklahoma for PBS.  I am also looking forward to this because it is about PT Barnum.  Who was born in Connecticut and Died in CT (Bridgeport).

Now I am going to bed.

I had a great time

I had a really great time yesterday at my niece’s home for Christmas day activities.  The ride up was nice.  Most of the snow along the shoreline had long since melted but not in North Haven.  It made walking a little dicey.  

Cheryl’s immediate family (sons and family) were there and eventually everyone else arrived.  I got to hold my great niece Mia who is probably not even a year yet.  She was smiling and happy.  Eventually everyone arrived.  The only thing that wasn’t a good thing is I had given presents to the kids at different stages and Liz was annoyed with me that I should have waited.  

There was a lot of food  finger foods, then the main meal (posta, ham, chicken, rice and beans) and of course variety of side dishes.  A few desserts.  I look forward to seeing the family photos.  I haven’t even seen the one from Thanksgiving yet. (No judging).

It was nearly 4 when I left.  Stopped at home to check on the kitties and then came back here and fed them and watered everyone and took Preston for his walk.  

Spent the rest of the night in bed watching TV.  i can’t remember exactly what I watched.

Today i got up later than usual and figured my two would be a lot more hungrier if I was later.  I watched TV and then walked Preston.  I fed Vlad and preston and then headed back to the house.  Did make a pit stop at DD.  

I spent the next few hours doing a little more laundry, making some necessary calls, trying to fix the HD TV and failed miserably.  Looks like I will be watching TV up in my bedroom until I get it straightened out.

I made the call to the insurance agency in town.  THey were updating their database and wanted to make sure they had my correct infor.  Then Tom and I talked about getting the house in my name.  I told him I would have to talk to Lawyer Bob.

Shortly after that conversation I called Lawyer Bob.  He explained to me (probably for the millionth time) how the house situation was set up.  It's in a trust and when he is retired being in charge of the deed will go to either of my siblings. Unless i decide to move out of the house.   So Insurance Agent got this explanation sometime today.

I called my 93 year old Aunt in Georgia today.  .  We go through the niceties “are you working”, You are doing such a great job taking care of the house etc. Well i got the feeling she was trying to rush me off the phone.  She does it every time I call and I wonder why I don’t call her.  Maybe I should send her letters more?  She doesn't do email.

I finally called the handyman about the upstairs toilet.  He came around lunchtime and says he needs to get the mechanisms for the inside.  He gave me instructions on to get it to flush and I tried it and it didn’t work.   Think I was supposed to turn the water back on.  He will be meeting me tomorrow and replace it.

I let the kitties into the computer room and their they stayed until I came back tonight.  I took the opportunity to close the door.

I could have sworn I had the heat turned down again and it automatically went up to 70.  This time I held the hold button on it so i am hoping it won’t be so hot when I get there tomorrow.

It was really cold today in the low to mid 20’s and it is supposed to be even colder tomorrow.  There is some question as to whether or not we will get snow by the weekend.  I just hope its not the days I am working this week.

I am hoping that sometime before I go back to work Liz and I will go see the Hugh Jackman movie the Showman.  It is about BRidgeport’s very own PT Barnum.

I think I am going to bed.  

Not Feeling that Great tonight

I have been feeling like crap for most of the day.  At some point I started getting “the poops”. and it seemed to slow down until mid afternoon and anytime I would go to blow my nose.  I ended up canceling my appointment with the health coach.  It's been rescheduled for later on in the month.  I was glad to be going home.

We had rain mid afternoon but it had stopped by the time we left the office but it started up again on the way home.  AGain didn’t last long but both times made it humid.  Its okay now.  

I believe my babies started to greet me at the door today.  As I was walking in they were walking towards the door and stopped as far as the chairs in the livingroom.  I can understand It was really oppressive in here.  I decided to open as many windows and doors as possible including the so called forbidden room.  Like I said it got better.

I made sure I laid on the floor to play with them (petting them mostly) for some reason Sky was slow to respond TL was very happy for the attention.  I could feel the heat coming off of them. Sky was more interested in seeing if he could get the storm door to magically open for him to go out.  I did put a bigger bowl of water out for them tonight.

I have a slight confession to make.  The whole drive home I couldn’t help imagine that I would find one or both of them under the small table/tv in the “forbidden” room.  They have been under it playing with the lace tablecloth.  There is a TV and cable box on it and yet when I came up to open the windows it was still in the same position it was when I left this morning.  God bless fertile imaginations.

They both got in the cellar but I didn’t have the energy or time to wait for them to come up at my beck and call.  After a few attempts I finally got them upstairs.  I was getting a little aggravated not only at them but the corner of the kitchen that leads to the cellar is cramped and awkward (yes I was also aggravated at myself). I did the rubbing of heads with Sky but I believe TL is sort of avoiding me.  Once it's feeding time I am sure I will be their new best friend-again.

When i put the garbage out they were watching from the front door and as i was visiting with neighbors all I could think is he will push that storm door and he will get out.  He didn’t..

I did get some laundry done but not folded. I have a little more to do but I can do it in the morning.   I emptied the dishwasher too but need refill again.

I need to get to bed.  I would like to get to work very early and make a dent in the stuff I am doing (the rebatching denials) and the rest of the stuff before my long weekend.

Oh Good

The kiddies got their energy going.  They have been running around here for the last hour or so.  I wonder if they will do this all night?  I would rather not close the door on them but I may have to but at the same time this is their bedroom too,  

This evening was family night.  I called my Aunt Betty in Texas and I also friended her son-in-law (his wife is my cousin) but she isn’t on FAcebook.,  Betty’s son Tom isn’t on Facebook but his wife Ashley is.  I don’t know if they will want me to be friended.  Anyway we spoke on the phone about 20 minutes,  We talked about family, health, and work

Well not much else to say I am going to have some herbal tea and then watch TV for a while..  I thought I heard someone hacking.  I couldn’t find anything but I will look again tomorrow,

Christmas night

I had a fairly good evening, I enjoyed my time with Cheryl and her family and of course the kids.  I stayed until about 5 and then headed back to west haven to See Ethel and the kids.  I even got to see cousins I hadn't seen since Mom’s funeral.  Ethel and the kids gave me a wallet for Christmas.  After that visit I went home to check on the kittens.  I managed to see Ghost for about ten minutes.  She was on Mom’s office chair.  Where she went after that no clue.

Then I came back to the pups took them out and then went to bed not too long after that. I was feeling blah again anyway.   I took the NyQuil and it worked for a while.  I am going to take it again tonight too.

Today was a better day.  I still sounded like a frog but I spent time at both houses and I got some more Christmas presents from the Dolans.  Clothes, and cookies.  I hung the clothes up and showed Shannon Sky.  I did look around for Ghost but no luck.  Liz says when I spend more time there it should be better.

While I was there cleared out the litter boxes and did some vacuuming and load of laundry and watched TV and of course played with sky a while.  I also got some emails sent out and received some as well.

when I left i headed to Subway to get dinners.  I ran into Phil V and chatted with him for a bit.  Then I picked up my sandwiches.  I started to eat them when I got home and after I took one of the pups out.  The other one already pee’d.    As it got closer to dinner I took the dogs out each and then came in and fed them.  They preety much mate ate their dinners with no problems.

I received some texts from Olivia asking about the animals so I sent her their pictures.  I couldn't get a very good one of the mouse so I will do it in the morning when the light is better.   

I got into my pajamas and washed my clothes and have been watching TV for awhile.  We are not going out again tonight.  That might be a problem but I just feel like crap right now.

Christmas Eve

It is after 8:30 in the morning and I Have been here since 8.  I managed to see SKy and I think I got him back in the closet again but can’t find Tiger-lily.  They ate a lot of the kibble last night.  They also have made a couple of spots on the rugs.  I cleaned out the boxes and put fresh stuff in.  I did some laundry and got the gifts ready to be delivered and I played some more with sky.

The boys were pretty good.  THe night was good.  We didn’t go out anymore last night and I went to bed.  I was so cold. Preston stayed in the bed with me.  He didn’t even growl.  When I got back here around 3 I took them out and and then relaxed with them.  I gave them an early dinner and then took off for Liz’s.

I did stop by Mike and Roberta’s before coming back to the house.  We got caught up on all the news and gripes we had.  

I spent about three hours at Liz’s.  I wasn’t feeling that great but I ate and listened and talked about the cats and got more advice.  Most of them reiterated that they will come around and they will let me know..

I have taken the dogs out and now am heading to bed to watch the L&O marathon on WE.

JIm may or may not come up for tomorrow.

Today was our Christmas Party

The Christmas Holiday Committee went all out this year and sent invitations back in November for the luncheon that was held in three different areas for availability.  They even had tables so that we could sit and mingle and eat.  The menu included ziti, chicken, eggplant rollatini,  potatoes, salad, and dessert.  We all received lovely coffee cups with the University Logo on it

Liz called me and told me there were two sets of kittens from different litters that there are 3 months old and 5 months old I think she told me they were tabbies.  Anyway we will see them tomorrow.  After work tonight I went to Petco and got “supplies” that included a scratching post, 1 set of dishes, two litter boxes and scoopers. and a cat carrier.  oh and I forgot to mention the 25 lbs of kitty litter.  It was too heavy to bring in. and will tomorrow.

Since I have been home I put the boxes in the rooms I want them to be and straightened up a few places and closed off some of the rooms.  Now this is going to sound a little out there but I swear I heard a cat meowing.  I called Liz and I Think she thinks I have lost it..  Maybe I just imagined it.

Tomorrow I am going to get an early start on stuff.  Make sure things are still in place in case I do bring the kittens home.  There also may be a good chance I won’t bring them home too.

Right now though I am so tired and achy I need to go to bed.

dear Mom

Dear Mom,

I am glad its the weekend.  I had another long and busy day  on Friday and it didn’t seem like it was going to get any better.  I still have to tally up the last couple of days of re-address mail but I did close to 250.  I think I made another dent in it but more always seem to come in.

As I was leaving the light in the bedroom went on.  The one on a timer.  It hasn’t done that the whole time we installed it.  I suspect I must have pushed something to make it go on.  If it does I really don’t mind it will go off a little while later.  Actually it is still on as I write this and its after 8.

The weather was very cold and messy in the morning yesterday but by the time I got home it was mostly cloudy.  I was cold even though I had turned the heat up so after I looked for a couple of things for LIz  I got under the blankets for a while to watch TV.  I dropped off the documents that I did have for her to the house this morning.

I called her bright and early this morning.  She was at a meeting but she told me that Chris and Jen were in an accident on the way down to SC.  They hit a deer in Mahwah NJ.  The car they used (Liz’s) was totaled. So right now they are stuck in Mahwah.  They are not sure what they are going to do.  Thankfully they are not hurt but I think frustrated and disappointed.

I got a call from Lawyer Bob (actually a call and a text) he wants to get together for lunch today and talk about stuff.  I have no questions for him yet but think once I get there and while we are talking something usually comes up.

I have done some laundry and I am going to do some banking and pay bills.  Then I will get ready for the lunch appt.  

I don’t know if its me or the laptop but it seems to going to slow or freezes.  I really get frustrated with that.  I have no patience with it and it really is supposed to be top quality laptop and internet.

I did my weekly visit of the neighbors.  Kim and Shannon were heading out to do errands and we got caught up with stuff.  Then I saw Sylvia with Pup Pup.  Then had a nice long chat with Don about returning to the Masonic Lodge.  He seemed really excited about it.  He plans on becoming more active.  While we were chatting a Chinook Helicopter flew over the sound.  We speculated that perhaps it was to transport vehicles for the First Lady Michelle Obama’s trip to Connecticut.  It was pretty cool to see it.

Well I better get ready for this lunch appointment.

I was feeling a little bold today

After releasing the second of two raccoons this week from the trap and having enough coffee to make LJ Gibbs proud I was bold enough to take on a fellow passenger who was being less then gentlemanly. H got on at Cedar Street near the Psychiatric Hospital and was trying to scam the bus driver by getting out of paying the fare. She wasn’t having any of it. She told him to get out of her personal space and sit down.




He did but started swearing and talking and I finally told him to watch his mouth. He got mouthy with me but not too loudly. The guy sitting next to him got up and sat across from him (he wasn’t interested in hearing him either) and all the while the bus driver was listening and told him to stop or she would call the police. He was dropping a lot of F bombs and saying his father worked on the buses for the 37 years etc. When he told me he was having a bad day I looked at him and said I am sorry you are having a bad day but I don’t want to hear it.



In one of the moments I looked around I looked at the guy who moved and thought he was looking at me and thinking “shut up woman’. However, I didn’t pay attention but remembered a story this driver told me the other day when a similar incident occurred and someone stood up and told the other passenger off. Anyway I was grateful to be getting off and I blessed the bus driver. I told a few people that story and some of them looked at me and shook their heads while others applauded me for saying something.



I got started working shortly after 8. There were two large boxes with EOB’s from United Healthcare that were not opened by finance or even the bank that handles our lockbox for us. So I left it on G’s desk for her to look at when she got in. Unfortunately it will have to wait until next week as she never came in today. She hasn’t been feeling well all week. She also reiterated that she will be leaving on Disability as soon as she can manage it. This really saddens me as I really love her as a friend and as a boss.



I managed to get all the work done early despite the second mail run (the campus/interoffice part) came really late and that had some mail in it. There wasn’t a lot but I really didn’t like the fact it was so late. I also was able to get some of the mail for the other floors delivered. I still have a few piles but it’s done quite considerably. I have to remember there is some on the floor next to the second desk and the wall.



I also tried to stay out from the aisles on the main floor. Unfortunately it worked until ST walked in from the ladies room. I had been talking to DB about the morning bus ride. When I had a moment and DB was near by I explained to her what was going. Everyone knows that ST has been on the warpath this past week. I also let EV (a co worker and union rep) what G had said to me the day before about ST unconvinced that I need help.



I have some car news. I got it back today. I called at lunch time and he said it’s almost done and that he had a few things he needed to do before giving it back. I called back at 4 as Mom was picking me up and it was ready. The bill was being written out. So by 4:30 I had brought it home. I rather not tell you I left my credit card there. I had to go back and get it.



They also straighten out the car for me (by that I mean put a few things in a box and picked up the garbage that I had on the floor. I am going to put those in the trunk and get throw the papers and stuff out tomorrow.



After I left the garage for the last time this week I headed over to Sis’s house. She had gone out for a few hours and N1 was watching TV. I went there to drop off the books for J-man that Mom wanted him to have and I had her thank you/birthday gift too. N1 and I had talked about the car and the ex-DIL he has absolutely no use for. He said the same thing that Mom said to me that the girl is selfish and self-centered. When I left I let him know I would come over after church for Father’s Day. Sis called and was tickled pink and pleased at the gift.



I don’t remember what time it was when I got home. Mom was finishing up frosting the cake she was taking for the literary club party tonight (it was an extra meeting). I was getting my dinner of left over spaghetti.



After a week of no show Woodchuck #3 finally showed its face. It appeared right after the lawn guys finished working. It kept popping its head up out of the hole. The first few times Mom missed it then she saw him. After she left he finally came out and sniffed and explored things. He even went into the trap but not far enough to spring it. After he went back in I cut up some more melon and put in the trap and the path from his hole to the door. He hasn’t been out since. I have been checking the trap regularly tonight but no luck. I expect to find one of two things early tomorrow morning. Either it is a different critter or he/she in the trap. I will take it to the park when I get up if it is WC#3.



I managed to answer a few Journal Writing check in prompts such as the summary Saturday, and a few other responses. JAustin from the Journal writing list shared a funny forward that I sent to a few friends and family. I had a few responses tonight.



Okay well I think I am going to say good night as one of my favorite radio programs is about to start on Public Radio. It’s a local show called Profiles in Folk. It is on every Friday night from 10 to midnight and it focuses on folk music nationally and groups that have performed in and around the area.

Not a bad day

My day started around 5:30 or so. I saw a critter in the trap. I though it was from the woodchuck clan. I would find out I was wrong. I woke up Mom to let her know so she came out to watch. I was all set to take it to the park and release it. Oh what was it? It was a raccoon. He looked at me like he was begging me to let him go. So I did. I was a little nervous but he wasn’t angry or anything.




After that little chapter Mom went back to bed and I had breakfast and watched Smallville. I started getting ready around 6. I got online for a little while too.



I was out the door a little after 7 and tending to junior a short time later. When I got to work chatted with JanetN and Mama Joanie. Then I started on the postage tallies. I managed to get one done and then started on the lockbox. Didn’t get it done because we had a staff meeting and then the post office mail came. I will go in early tomorrow and finish them.



I did manage to make some calls. The car is still being worked on. I have no idea when that will be done. This is making me a tad nervous. Mom has offered to pick me up from work for the rest of the week. .



At some point I realized I would need some one to drive me home from the dentist. I was pretty much expecting to be loopy from the Novocain and stuff so I called Liz and Nelson. Liz and made arrangements to pick her up at 1 and she would take me home. I gave the car back too.



When we got there we were told it would take a half hour. I was brought in a short time later and then prepared for it. I told them about going off the Coumadin. Then we got started. The doctor was wonderful and complimented me on what a good patient I was. It didn’t take long and I have stitches and will have them taken out on the 23rd in the morning. They have me on anti biotic (they changed it from Penicillin).



I Fell asleep around 3:30 and the next thing I know its freaking 5:30. Mom was running to the pharmacy for me and made some scrambled eggs for me. By then the bleeding stopped.



I am going to go to bed soon. I am tired and I also want to get to work early as possible.

Lots going on

So much going on…didn’t write last night.  I got home to the pups just about 4:30 and needed a little time for adjustment.  Preston was a little cautious at first but came to me while I sat on the floor.  Later he jumped into  my lap and gave kisses.  Packy was happy to see me he greeted me then went back to his bed in the bedroom.
While I was there Nancy called and they were in tricky traffic but wanted to check in.  She is doing fine but has more tests next week.  They will be home mid afternoon Sunday.  They also left me instructions for the boys meals.  Preston gets chicken and rice and Packy gets dog food.  At one point I could see Packy squatting in the new room so chased him out of there he almost did it in the living room (EW).  So I rushed them outside to do their business and it nearly took half an hour.  When we came back I still found crap in the new office.
I left for the store before 6.  I got a call from Roberta with an invite to pick up but I turned it down because where I was.  I got to the store got the veggie plate and some chicken for me.  I headed to Telka’s and managed to get lost.  Don’t ask.
I did get to Telka’s before anyone else did.  She showed me the Call to Conference from the state level that had a name of one of our trouble making ladies.  A short time later everyone arrived and we started the meeting.  After wards I gave Kelly a ride home and I was back at the beach house soon after.
I got the dogs walked and then got into my pajamas and watched TV until I started to fall asleep.  It was a light sleep as I could hear Packy scratch his bed.  I was afraid he was crapping somewhere.  Preston sleep deeply under the blankets.
This morning the alarms went off including the one for the TV.  It went on!  I stayed in bed for a little while longer.  Then we got dressed and walked.  When I came back tried to access my Google mail with no luck.  I think I know why (was still logged into it from the office).  Okay I just checked on something and the reason was password memory (I couldn’t remember it)
I talked with Mom this morning.  She said the meetings she attended were really good.  The sewer commission included.  They are going to buy the property and have sent it on to Aldermanic Board.  However, PJ&JJ are angry with us (they now have legal representation) and apparently Sylvia and MN are as well.
After work I went and picked up the snow boots from the house so incase I have to go out tomorrow.
Well its almost time to leave.

Ground Hog Day

Happy Ground Hog Day!  Connecticut’s Very Own Ground Hog has indicated that winter is canceled.  I say look out the damn window or watch the weather reports on TV!  Leave the damn animal alone.  Its bad enough they will be out in full force in March.   How would you like to be woken up out of sound sleep to give weather forecasts?

I can feel just a slight twinge of a headache forming.  I have had it since I woke up.  I have been drinking coffee and at break time I had some oatmeal.  The stomach is just starting to feel “meh”.  I am hoping to take some thing for the head shortly.

I called Mom this morning she had a few complaints for me this morning.  The bath mat, the bath rug (we have extra’s on the floor), and the garbage that was out was not either put back right or tied up.  My answer to all that was okay will do it the next time.  She is still not feeling well and called the doctor for some anti-biotic. 

Work went okay.  I am caught up with the postage/bad address tallies and Lockbox was very light in volume and so I was working on readdress mail.  I was not sure how long that I will be able to do that.  I was hoping the regular mail would be light as well.  IT was.  I cleared out the lobby mail box around 3.

The afternoon brought clouds and cooler temperatures then what we have had in the last several days.

This evening is laundry, and room cleaning so that I am not stressed out for the rest of the weekend.

We Got Bunnies

I got home around 4:30 and found one bunny hopping around the back yard. When he sensed me coming to the back yard he took off until I was gone. I told a few neighbors. The rabbit came back later. It’s been about three years since they were here.




Neighbors Pat and John J’s Daughter came up for a weekend visit. She came up with her father. There is another meeting about the Sewer house at the end of the street. Any way we spent some time talking and then she headed back to her house.



Since I have been home the phone has been ringing off the hook. I had to check some phone messages as Liz said she couldn’t answer the phone. Anyway I had to cancel an appointment for tomorrow. The others were friends of hers and I gave them an update.



I know I wrote earlier today there was a change in plans for Mom’s Rehab. I may have written she would be sent to West River Health Care Center in Milford. It’s the place I volunteer at every Sunday. It would be very convenient for Liz, and I and the boys to go there. I could see her every day as opposed to every other day. Well by the time I was leaving work it was established that Mom would be transferred to Gaylord after all. Last time I called Liz she was looking for it. Mom had been on her way. I hope Liz is able to find it and get home at a semi decent time.



Well the Annual Orange Volunteer Fireman’s Carnival started tonight. It will be for the next three or four days. This signifies to me the Carnival and festival season is beginning. Easton Connecticut has one that is also going on this week. I have gone to it a few times over the years. It was fun. The parking is always a challenge.



Tomorrow I will probably work until 6 and then head over to Gaylord and visit with Mom for a while. Afterwards I need to go shopping for a couple of gifts. One is for Tyler and Amber’s party on Saturday the other is for Olga’s shower next week.



I am really tired. I did have coffee but it isn’t keeping me awake. So maybe I will still get some sleep.
