Tired

I am not sure why but at some point this evening I got tired.  I had been preparing for the coffee talk, took care of the garbage and tried to do some union calls.

Late this afternoon I heard from NewEgg.com and they indicated the seller had sent me a message that it will now be June 3, 2020.  I don’t remember seeing that date on their email but with my luck and my penchant for not reading the email completely through.  So it will now be a week from today.

I finally cleaned off the counter next to the sink and closer to the cellar.  I got rid of old teas and the others I put in canisters that can hold the tea. I put some of my meds and all the vitamins and supplements into a basket.  My hope is to not have that place look so cluttered.

I also put some stuff into a box. For example I put the mini coffeemaker (the kind that is brewing) and a bunch of other stuff from the back room into the box as well.  There is more but I have to look through it first.  I even got rid of the bags that I haven collecting from the deliveries for dinners and lunches.

I heard from Debra this afternoon.  I wasn’t near the phone at first and I am curious to know why it wasn’t ringing loudly.  Anyway we couldn’t talk long but she wanted me to know she got the text and email.  I realized later that the entry with Liz’s text wasn’t sent to her yet but I read it to her.  She said basically not to engage the lawyer.  At least someone told him what is going on. 

I was looking forward to tonight’s but they couldn’t hear me and they were not clear (there was lag) and garbled.  CY says there is some interference.  I just hope it is cleared up by tomorrow for the trivia game. 

I think I will go to bed and start the day tomorrow.

Lots of movies and shows

There are at least a billion movies and shows on tonight and none of them are holding my interest tonight.  If I wanted to I could see the movies and shows in the higher cable numbers that I wouldn't normally see.  Some of them are movies I haven't seen in years.  Some Thursdays are like that for me when my really favorite shows are not on.  Actually even when they are I don't always want to see them.  So I will surf the net, chase the kitties from whatever they are climbing on, and listen to the music that's playing on the radio (Classical).

It looks like I will be able to close out the WB checking account on Monday and transferring what's left to the Credit Union.  Don't to be too excited its not much.  The one check I was waiting on was cashed this weekend. 

So I am happy to report things are all set with the budget and I am now waiting on  the new check order that will be coming in about two weeks.  I am feeling pretty confident that things are going to be okay. 

In the mean time I am starting to get tired and will go to bed for now...

It is getting warmer

It is about 82 degrees and I could feel it...I opened some windows. At least there is a breeze.  I am still not going out there though.

The kitties are enjoying their day.  After they came out of my old bedroom they went downstairs for awhile.  It amazes me that I didn't notice them until I saw them sitting on the cellar stairs.  I think Tiger is there now and Sky was doing this:

.

Good news the TV in the living room is working normally again.  It must have not been plugged all the way.  I have the music channels on right now.  They are called Music Choice Channels.  I guess Optimum customers have it.  There doesn't seem to be any videos just music.

I finished one letter to Claudia in AZ but I just have to print it out and mail it. I have a few other letters I need to finish as well.

I talked with Liz this morning.  She has been busy with Double the Nelsons.  Nelson #1 is adjusting to being home but got a visit from Nelson #3.  We touched on the phone call from the Cardiologist.  She figured we were invited to meet with him on Tuesday.  Only if we have questions...and of course we do.

I haven't talked my brother yet.  He went to a Jefferson Starship/Plane concert last night.  I wanted to let him know what the cardiologist said.  I guess there is plenty of time for that.

I am going to go watch Star Trek:TNG Season two.

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.

Taking a Break

Well I need to take a break.  I have been sitting in the same position for nearly an hour and half.  I managed to write out three cards so far and also update my contact list.  i also was wondering where some of them lived.  Its fairly quiet now.  

I was thinking i could hear the wind but I looked out and couldn’t see the trees blowing so that’s not it.  I did hear we may get some snow flurries tonight.  I am betting we won’t get much.  

I have to admit my hands and legs are stiff.  I am not sure the all-nighter is going to come to fruition.  I am already getting tired.    I watched tv and did manage a couple more cards.  

I am finding it hard to keep my eyes open.  So I think I better check the house and then go to bed.

I have a hair appointment in the morning and then the gift delivery in the afternoon...

Dear Mom 10/20/2014

Dear Mom,

    It was a chilly and frosty morning and it didn’t    get any warmer than 60 today.  The rest of the week promises rain.  

    I had every intention of getting up at 5:30 this morning but after getting an early morning text message from Jim at 4 in the morning I saw no reason to get up that early.  I stayed in bed until 6.  I did get ready for work and was out the door a little after 7.  The things I had planned on doing can wait until I get home.

Work was good.  Mail volume was late and light.  It allowed me to work on the re-address mail for most of it.  We had an in-house retirement party for Gloria O.  Her dinner is next week.

I sent out the reminder yesterday for the 4th District this week.  We are having it at the Headquarters and so far its been six responses-out of twenty-five.

It looks like I will be heading to PA for Thanksgiving.  Although Jim is going to check with Ethel and see what she is doing.

I was looking at one of the mass cards I don’t recognize the name of the person and I don’t see a matching envelope.  Its frustrating because I was going to write out a thank you note.  Now that I was frustrated I didn’t get any done.

The computer (both the laptop and the other one were giving me a hard time and I could tell I was getting tired.  Things were slowing down or not moving.  There isn’t anything on the laptop except some of your files.

I am going to try and sleep but I don’t think its going to work.

Dear Mom

Dear Mom,

    Today hasn’t been the best start to the day.  Actually it started around 1 this morning.  I think the dinner I had didn’t agree with me I ended up getting sick to my stomach and that passed now this morning for the past hour or two I have had diarrhea.  I cleaned up okay but still have the urge to run not walk to the bathroom. I am hoping my breakfast and coffee will stay down and so far it has.

This messy development has prompted me to get some laundry done and I have to check on it,  I don’t have a lot of laundry for a change but I want to change the sheets on the beds in both bedrooms.  

I had these big plans to do the cleaning but the way I am feeling I am going to have be lazy for a while.

I have been using the laptop more and more upstairs while watching TV these days and I am getting use to it now.  Unfortunately it seems like the battery doesn’t last long  and right now the adapter for the laptop is downstairs. So I am going to get it.

    I am actually glad I am not going very far today because the rain is supposed to move in sometime today.  Its cloudy now but according to the weather channel we are getting a lot of rain today.

I think I am going to update the card list and the address book.  I have already started one.  I have some letters to write as well.

I will check in later...

Love you!

Dear Friends

     It is after 8 and it is still snowing.  There was indeed a lull in the snow fall earlier today and Mom took the opportunity to go out and do a few errands.  While she did that I managed to shovel the sidewalks.  A lot of good that was considering its all covered again.  I will have to do it again tomorrow.

    Other than laundry, the sidewalks, and attempted to help with dinner I haven’t done much.    I did start letter to the kids but haven’t gotten far.  Mom took a nap this afternoon after she took some antihistamine.    Now I think she is watching TV or the TV is watching her.

    As most of you have noticed today was the 1 year anniversary of the Newtown Shooting.  Many places around the country marked in many different ways.    As we remember that tragic day a horrible and deadly replay happened  in Colorado yesterday.  My heart and prayers go out to those families who were subjected to this horrible event.

I hope it wasn’t any where near my friends and family that live in Colorado.  I would get really worried.  Well in Kristina’s case she is 108 miles from it while Miriam is about 40 minutes north of the town.

    I managed to get two of the emails this weekend to the kids  I am probably going to wait to get Kristina’s out tomorrow.  I need to go to bed.

Have a great one.

Dear Friends:

Good Morning!   It is nearly 5 in the morning and I have been awake for over an hour surfing the net and updating files.  This is what happens when I go to bed very early.   I feel like I should be cleaning or doing something productive before the alarm goes off.  I am really going to need coffee later!

Thank you to all my visitors to the various blogs I have.  I appreciate your visits.   I have fun writing (sometimes) and I enjoy reading your blogs as well. 

I hate to sound morbid so early in the morning but now that the Meet and Greet is over I am not looking forward to the holidays.  I am afraid that Jim’s predictions will come true.  Those predictions he made that Mom will not survive the holidays.  It’s coming up quicker than I would like.  Even though to continue to look at her she seems fine.  She was still pretty tired yesterday.  I don’t know what time she went to bed last night as I was already sleeping.

I don’t know what she has planned for today but I do know I am driving her to Bridges tonight for her meeting.  I think she is getting a ride home after it.

Well I actually sat through HTLJ.  A few shows and ironed my clothes.  It is now 7 am and I need to get going.  I will check in later on in the day.  I think the traffic this morning was a little heavy (oh no).

Dear Friends:

Another beautiful morning.  It had to have been in the 50’s this morning.  I tell you it was great sleeping weather.  That will have to wait until tomorrow though.  It stayed cool all day and  did not get out of the 60’s.

Work went well and as I expected was able to catch up with the daily work and managed to get more of the re-address mail done too.  The team gave me a belated birthday party of Subway sandwiches and a cake and really funny card.  I wanted to make sure that my immediate supervisors and manager got a piece of cake.  Neither of them wanted them.  For various and understandable reasons. So I gave it to my soul sister TD and one other supervisor.

I was a little late getting home as I was chatting with a union organizer seeking volunteers for primary day in New Haven.  I had to decline as I will be working in our town for our primary.  But she was on a mission to convince two people why they should be voting for Toni Harp and I believe she did well.

When I finally did get home Mom was in the kitchen.  She looked beat.  She had just finished cleaning ‘stuff’.  Apparently her day ran into some issues.  First thing this morning (after I talked with her) the lowes delivery service brought the new stove.  They claimed they called (they called a wrong number) then they broke our toaster and when they tried to take the old stove out they realized it was Hardwired to the fuse box downstairs.  They had the freaking nerve to say they were going to have to leave the stove in the living room and we were to have the electrician come in and install it.  WTF?

So she told them take it back she was cancelling the order.  So that's what she did.  She spoke to the manager and he cancelled the order.  She said he would have just taken the stove back without question.  She hadn’t paid for it yet but to me this was outrageous.  

Tomorrow I Have to fix the kitchen window screen  Mom pushed it in too far and it is not in straight.  I am not sure I can do it while over the sink and I don’t know how successful I will be on the ladder for outside.  I will keep you posted.

While MOm got into her pajamas I set the dishwasher going and had my dinner.  It was beefaroni.  It hit the spot Mom had some toast and cream of wheat and is relaxing downstairs.

After a week of not hearing from Jim I called him today.  He has been recovering from surgery.  He apparently had a cyst on his shoulder and it grew.   Long story short its benign and slow to heal.    Anyway we finally had the conversation about what should happen when Mom finally passes.  He feels I will be the one doing the calling and he tells  me there is five things to do.  One of them I asked Mom about tonight.

1.  Get the certificates Birth, Marriage and one other.  

2.  Call the funeral home

3.  Call the POlice (that may be #2)

4.  Call  the church

5.  

He feels that the certificates should be at the fingertip type level and not searching for them at the moment after death.  He apparently reminded Mom of that today when they spoke.  She promised to get them together “but not today”.

I asked him how he was feeling about it all personally.  He says sometimes fine and  not so much.  Through all of his conversations with Mom he has made peace with her and made her know that he is grateful for all that she has done for him and realized  things were not perfect from his end or both not really sure.  By the end of the conversation I did remind him that if he ever needed to talk at lengths that he could call me night or day.

Anyway it looks like we each have a unified game plan now whether or not we stick to it and anyone else who wants to jump in and start telling us what to do or take control is a matter of view.  That may not make sense now that it past midnight.

Mom is in bed...nearly had a heart attack when she turned around and saw me standing in front of her  coming out of the bathroom I thought for sure she was going to fall backwards.  I am going to go myself.

Dear Friends:


Guess who was up at 3 am Blog Surfing?  Yep yours truly.  I had been sleeping and was dreaming about work (and the whole place didn’t even look like the office) and I was changing into different clothes to get ready to come home and I see this room and I thought it was mine and I see a person I didn’t recognize watching me.  That’s when I woke up.  I tried surfing the net for a while but it didn’t work much.  I tried to sleep again and had a hard time doing that.

I was just thinking about how excited I was to tell Mom I haven’t had any dizziness for nearly a week and no sooner did I say it that I had gotten one.  I have had two more since then.  Yesterday while watching TV and just now.  I am not ready to call the doctor yet.  IF I pass out then I will definitely go.

I was looking at the Weather Reports for today and it looks like we are going to have some clouds.  No rain to speak of at least.  I could have sworn they said it would be nice today.  I grant you clouds doesn’t necessarily mean gray clouds.

Well I am going to try and get some more sleep I have the alarm set for 6 am.  My plans were to at least pick up stuff so that all I had to do when I got home was vacuum the floor/rugs in here.  I am not sure if I will be doing that then.

Thank you for reading my babble session.

Take care,


Kate

Easter Traditions

Earlier today when Liz was making her annual Easter Visit we talked about traditions.  She was saying that every Easter in my BIL’s family they always have rice and beans.  On the Italian side there is Lasagna.  In our family We either had some sort of meat (beef, lamb, pork).  Tonight I was looking over the last three years of Easter Sundays.

Last year Mom and I were sick so we were keeping it low key.  In the years before that we seem to always have it at our house.  I can’t remember what we had those times but if you read the entries at the blog you might enjoy it.

The one tradition I will not be upholding is getting into arguments with Mom.  It is usually due to stress and aggravation on both parts.

As always I will be going to bingo and church.  I can only hope that I get to both places either on time so that I can be home to help as much as I can since oh well dinner should be at time.

What are your Easter Traditions? 

Can Someone Tell me?

How is it possible that I am still doing laundry at 9:30 at night?  I freaking started at 10 am and kept it going.  The only time I couldn’t move it along was while I was at church.  I don’t think I had that many loads to start with.

When Mom came home from the store it was about 2.   Ethel called a short time later and told Mom she was taking the 1:45 from 125^th Street.  So Mom needed to pick her up after 3.  She ended up having to miss the Good Friday services.  We both left at the same time.

While Mom went to pick up Ethel I headed to church.  There were a lot of people at this service.  I sat in front of the church.  I met the organist’s parents.  I knew Nancy C for many years through the Prayer group at OLOV.  She was my organ teacher for a short time. 

The service was long.  It usually is and I usually get tired of all the standing.  My eyes felt a little weird and my hands were trembling a little.  I am not sure what that was about.  It passed by the time I headed home.

After the service I saw Rose.  She was sitting towards the back I guess but I caught up with her in the parking lot and we talked about the pending holiday.  We even discussed our friend Dave.  I relieved to see or hear for that matter that I am not the only who thinks he doesn’t deal with grief very well.  When we parted we made tentative plans to have dinner at GG’s on the other side of town.

When I got home Mom was just beginning to get dinner ready.  It was probably about 4:30.  We didn’t eat until maybe 6 or so.  I had fallen asleep while watching TV.

WE had breaded shrimp and corn and potatoes.  Oh it was delicious and simple.  After dinner Mom did some more preparations for dinner (making dressings and mayonnaise) on Sunday.

I spent time channel surfing and web surfing as well.  Now that the laundry is done I am heading to bed.

Family Night

Last night was family night.  I had been checking messages on facebook and found one from a cousin on  my Dad’s side.  She was sending me her address.  Then I got a message from an old friend of Bob’s that was sending condolences. I sent a message to my nephew Rob (and ironically no response yet).  Then just about dinner time Liz sent me a text to my email account informing me she was in the hospital with pneumonia.   Then Ethel comes over for impromptu dinner and then we get phone calls from two of the Coulombe cousins.  I also had gotten emails from Lisa R asking  if we are still attending the little guy's birthday.  She wanted to know about Chris and his kids I couldn't answer.  

Earlier this afternoon I had called Mom for a second time and got an update.  Liz has been put into isolation and can’t have visitors.  Mom’s annoyed as she feels Liz should have been to the doctor’s sooner than this.  It was a little unnerving because you don’t know what is going on and crazy things start popping in your head.

I left the office a little after 4 and headed home.  I stopped at the two Chris’s house to see Sawyer and Simon.  They immediately started to whine when they saw me.  So I spent some time talking with their “Dad”.  After a while I actually came to the house and by then it was 5.

MOm and I talked while she cleaned the pans she was  using to cook some eggplant.  She had about an hour to get ready for the Literary club.  We talked about getting the cake done and she said she would do it when she got up in the morning.

She left after six and after talking with Liz.  Liz sounded stronger and is feeling better but will be in the hospital until Monday.  I have been relaxing between phone calls and TV watching.  Nelson called about 30 minutes ago and this is what he said:

“Liz is feeling better but having a hard time breathing; the birthday party for Nelson 3 has been canceled because Jr and son are both sick.”

This outbreak (flu and everything else) has gotten everyone.  I am going to try and get to bed early tonight and do my chores before leaving tomorrow for Telka’s party.

Mom got sick again

Shortly before 1 am Mom came running out of her room into the bathroom and got sick. I suspect it was the creamed turkey dinner we had. It may have been rich. I don’t know if this has anything with her gall bladder or not. Liz asked me about it some time ago. I couldn’t give her an answer and I am not sure mom did either.




Needless to say I didn’t get much sleep last night. I am going to have to get lots of coffee just to keep awake. The 5 and half cups yesterday is what caused me to not sleep to begin with.



Mom says Olivia is coming today. The room will be back in some kind of order this week. It allows me to concentrate on other things such as my laundry and other things that I can work on.



Okay I just had a frightening experience. I checked my account and for some reason there is no account history and its all zeroes. I haven’t done anything with it since last night. Ok. I am not going to panic much. I am sure it will be back up by 6 am. It better be.



I better get back to bed…Mom is back in bed and probably has fallen asleep again.

Everyone is talking about it

Patti and I got the lockbox mail done early (and it was light) so she washed down some of the equipment in here and I updated staff meeting notes I had.  There are a number I don’t have but I am sure I will find them. 

Patti was showing Mama Joanie the office and we were about to show her the desk drawers and Diva jumped in.  Mama Joanie told her off.  Pattie was trying to calm Joanie down and I explained later what the situation was. It turned out she knew all about it.  They apparently had issues a couple of days ago that I wasn’t aware of.

Everyone is talking about how great the contract is.  Some like me are a little confused about certain things but when I have a chance I am going to go and ask people who understand better what it will mean.  Gayle was happy we got what we did but supervisors don’t get much and are not unionized.

The mail is coming so I better go…I will be finally writing in my Canada trip-soon.

Okay it is now quarter of 1.  We are breaking for lunch.  The mail is almost done we have just a little bit more to go and then I will work on the postage tallies and the like.  I invited SR to come take a look when she has a moment. 

We had a farewell cake for Patti and thanked her for all of her help both in Scanning and with me in the last few days.  We hope she will be coming back after tomorrow.  She is going on vacation for two weeks and then hopefully will return to us.

Gayle says she will have someone teach me to log in the batches and log out the batches the days I have nothing to do.  I would really like that because sitting around the office doing nothing really defeats the purpose of working.

Okay got to go…see you later…

I have something to do every day this week

As I was getting ready for bed last night I took a few moments to look over my appointment book to prepare for the week and for the first time in what I think is months I have some thing to do every single day this week. Doctor appointments, meetings, parties, hair appointments, and follow up car appointment.







I sure will be looking forward to the weekend coming up that’s for sure. At least my work volume should be normal and I will be on top of it. It is a given that it is getting closer to FY end and that means more pressure and more stress for everyone. I have to remember that it isn’t personal if some one snaps. At least no one will say anything about the mail for the other floors. I have to remember there is mail on the side of the desk that I need to look at today.






So you want to see my schedule this week?






Monday is my session with Debra. We usually discuss the events of the past week and how I dealt with them and what challenges I have for this week. There are about three sessions left before she leaves for her month long vacation. We are planning on having at least two phone sessions. They usually last about 45 minutes and it would be like our regular sessions. We recently started doing this when I was home sick with the blood clot. My intention is to write her in between and send her these entries; she may not get to see them until she gets back in the office in August.






On Tuesday I see Dr. J Becker. She is my Lupus Doctor and has been three months since I last saw her. I have no idea if she even knows I had the incident with the blood clot or if she is aware of the upcoming tests. I know she has to send all lof her reports to my PCP but I don’t know if she even was informed. I am going to have to update those stupid forms about hospital stays and medicine and all that other stuff. I hate filling those out.






Wednesday I see Dr. Rosenblatt he will be discussing the Uterine Fibroid Embolization procedure and possible alternatives. I was trying to find out more information on him but found some tips like taking notes on the experience of the appointment both pro and con. Well I plan on doing that any way. I am not real happy about having to go to Fairfield during commuter time. The traffic going that direction really sucks.






In the afternoon I have to go to Dr. Spanolios office and get my INR testing done. I hope the levels remained the same. I will have to tell them I had to go off them for the oral surgery. The whole thing shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. I will get the new dosage level and new check in time.






On Thursday we are having the 4th District meeting here. I have sent out the reminder last night. No one has replied or acknowledged whether or not they are coming yet. I know of one person that already read it. We are only going to get a few responses but several people will show up without responding either way. That is so frustrating because Mom does a lot to prepare and as I am sure you are aware you don’t know how much to make and what ever.






On Friday is the annual “End of year” Club picnic at Telka’s. it is starting at 2 pm but I won’t be there until 5 pm. I am bringing cole slaw and Mom will be making it as the day gets closer. It is also a graduation party for the girls who graduate this week and of course who have already graduated. It should be really fun.






Saturday morning I get the stitches out of my mouth and we discuss the next step in getting the implant. I am pretty sure that will be more money when the time comes. That part should happen near the end of the summer.






The morning gets to end with a haircut. What better way to end the week? I enjoy Jamie. She is so sweet and I love this Salon. Did I mention that I met up with one of the Stylists from Harbor Lights? I met her at the Awards Dinner last Thursday. Apparently Harbor lights went out of business and are now merged with another one in the Devon area. It was rather awkward moment for me as I didn’t want to tell her I am going some where else now.






I am probably going to have to do all my chores Saturday afternoon. I don’t know what else we have planned for that day I hope nothing as by then I will be tired.






Okay its time for me to get to work. I will see you later.

Early Morning Babble

When I went to bed last night I knew that I would be in trouble. I managed to get some sleep but it was a light sleep. I heard Mom go to bed before Midnight. When I got up for a bathroom run I decided to get on the computer again.




I have already updated my health blog and my password directory. I made a few passes at the various forums I visit daily and prevented myself from exploding at one arrogant little prick for the responses he got in regards to huge assumption/question about SM.



I heard from Jim last night he called me around 6. I didn’t realize it until I looked at the phone a short time ago. Anyway he ahs a cold (again), did I mention he left a message for us on Saturday that the skin cancer on his face is ‘pre-cancerous’?



I was thinking since the 2012 Lenten Season begins tomorrow and the way I have been feeling emotionally that maybe it would be a good idea if I started reading the bible again. I have done it from time to time in the past and it has brought some peace of mind for me.



OMG. I just found Al Terzi the Newscaster/journalist for WFSB is leaving Channel 3 news on Friday. Geoff Fox announced it in his blog yesterday. I remember when Al Terzi was on Channel 8 for years until he had some rather unfortunate problems. He then moved to Channel 3. I guess he has been a part of Connecticut broadcasting for years. You can read about Al here (I hope), if not go to Wikipedia and look up Al Terzi or to WFSB.com and read his bio. You might be better off doing the latter.



Well I better get back to bed…the alarm is set to go off in about four hours. Thanks for spending time with me this morning.

In Fifteen Hours

In fifteen hours and after a day of work my weekend with Packy and Preston will begin. Their Mom let me know they are looking forward to seeing me and spending time with me. You have no idea how that pleases me. It’s that unconditional love we all look for. I have a feeling the next two days they will be alone longer than during the recess (well maybe not). It will just seem like it. Anyway, their family should be home some time Sunday afternoon.




My co-worker GO just recently got a puppy and she is going through new parent issues with the puppy. She is afraid to leave the puppy alone for long periods of time. She was concerned as he was having the runs recently and she shared it with all of her Facebook family. That I probably could have done with out but I also could empathize with her.



Happy News Mom is continuing to recover from her sinus infection. She sounded much better today but wasn’t feeling completely better. She had a busy day of meetings. She came home and made dinner (Left over Chicken and Gravy and various vegetable dishes). She has more meetings tomorrow and tomorrow night including another Sewer Commission. That will be on going until the Pumping station is built.



Okay I am going to go watch NCIS from season 3. Yeah I know I should be sleeping but that’s not happening right now.

Tried to Sleep

I tried to sleep last night but it just hasn’t worked. I have gotten up a few times for the bathroom. I have been on line for about 25 minutes moving emails and updating the other blogs. One or two yawns but that’s it. I finally did get to sleep by one. It was a light sleep because the computer did a security update and rebooted.




I have been home now for about 20 minutes. I put the garbage out and talked with Don and Lulu for a bit and then Mom came home to make dinner for me.



I spent time watching a little of the NCIS Marathon and now I am going to surf the net before dinner. I have to save the entries I wrote at work.



I called Natalie and got the dates and time for the Valentine’s Delivery and the Mardi Gra carnival we are planning. I have to give the dates to the club tonight and we will pick them and I can tell Natalie on Sunday.



The drive home was uneventful. Instead of taking my normal rout I went out to Ella Grasso BLVD from Frontage Road and then on to the highway by the VA Hospital. I think I may have pissed some people off. I got the horn blown at me for some reason. I also decided to use the cruise control at 55 mph. It sure saves gas! The winter sky was beautiful as the sun was sinking down below the skyline.



Okay it is getting to be 5:30 and I need to freshen up before dinner and the meeting. Have a great night.
