Yesterday felt like a Saturday

I have to say that yesterday felt like a Saturday to me.  I left here around 9:30 and headed to the first Credit Union and closed the account.  They were accommodating that’s for sure.  They even put the money for I was paying for taxes in a check form for me.   The teller also said I had until the end of the month to pay that as well when I asked him if he knew how big the line at the tax office was (it’s in the same building different wing).  So knowing that option I headed to the new credit union.

That process took a while.  First the directions took me too far into New Haven Allingtown area and I knew it was not around there.  So I went on memory and when I was unsure I called Papa Mike just as I called him I found it.  I learned I should have made an appointment because the paperwork and data entry would take too long.  I am not sure exactly when she saw me but it was nearly 1 when I left.  They chatted with me and offered me coffee while I waited.  I was given a good package and look forward to being able to grow with them.   The only thing is I tried to access the webpage from home and it wasn’t working.  I didn’t go on the last webpage much anyway.  The statements will be going to my email anyway.

After that was done I headed to China Pavilion for take-out.  While I was waiting I chatted with the host there and had a great conversation.  About his life here and does he visit his family back in Vietnam. 

I came home ate lunch while the kitties were doing their own thing (read: can’t remember what they were doing probably sleeping) and shortly after that that’s what I was doing.  I napped for a bit then did some surfing and worked on the laundry.  Actually some of it is still there. 

My groceries came around 3:30.  I am not sure what I think of that.  I specifically said 4-6.  The more I think about that the more annoyed I get.  There is a reason why I wanted it between those times.  What if I had decided to go run an errand or go see Liz and Nelson?  They would not have left it and they would have come back.  They also didn’t have the chicken I wanted.  The rest of the stuff was there. 

After I put those away I watched TV and it was about 5:30 or so I decided to order pizza.  It came about 6:30.  I chatted with the delivery “Kid” about the last situation (they didn’t have delivery people) and it would seem my street is the cut off line for that particular store.  He asked what you can do.  I said go to Woodmont pizza…J

Unfortunately I was disappointed in the pizza. I thought I ordered a small pizza with sausage and onions and what I got was plain.  I checked back and I messed up on the order.  I have to be certain to check what I am doing the next time.  It was good though.

The rest of the night was fairly quiet.  I chatted briefly with Jim.  He was watching the Harry Potter movie so I didn’t want to interrupt him.  I did get the feeling he was having a tough day.  When I said I love you after the other message about talking tomorrow he said something that made me think he was having a bad day.  He said it was half joking but I reassured him I know he loves me and tries to be a great brother.  We will probably talk about it later today.

I got into bed early to watch TV and settle in for the night.  Not realizing how much time passed.  The kitties were racing around like the Kittie 500 and eventually settled down with me.

I slept okay…still have the strain in the neck.  I took my meds and then can’t remember when I fell asleep.

This morning they woke me up at the normal time and I managed to stay in bed until 6.  Fed them had coffee and laid on the couch and started to doze again.  Watched more TV and now will start to get the litterboxes really cleaned.

Other than that my day or our day will be quiet.  I hope to get to the letters I got here but other than that don’t have to go out for anything. 

We have rain it started over night and it is supposed to be clearing later on.  It really makes me want to stay in bed but its mid-morning now.

Not Feeling Well

I guess it started last night but I had the beginnings of a headache and it seemed to be with me this morning.  I took some tylenol and it went away for awhile.  I feel like it is coming back as I write this..  I think it is because of the chocolate I had yesterday.  I was afraid  it would turn into a migraine but it didn’t.  I was able to have some food and it didn’t bother me until I started lying down.   I can’t tell if it is sinus pressure or not.  

I was able to run some errands today.  I went to the bank, and then got some cards ($30 worth).  MOm nearly had a coronary but she is okay with it now.  I just have to get them written out.    I have several for the graduates in my life.  Several for Mother’s Day but some of them will get it late.  

I had the opportunity to go and get my glasses fixed (they have been bent out of shape giving me the look of lopsided and driving everyone who looks at me crazy.  Unfortunately the optical store was closed by 11:30.  I got there mid afternoon.  SIgh.  Timing isn’t one of my strong suits lately.

Mom did some number crunching for me today.  She gave me what she spends (or better put we spend) for the house so that I have some idea of what to expect in the future.  I have yet to look it over but I will.  She also did some of her stuff and some shopping she went to the 4:30 mass and we had dinner way after she got home.

I went to check on Junior and she seemed happy to see me.  I gave her some fresh crunchy food because it looked like she hadn’t finished the canned stuff.  I also found some cookies and pop tarts...They do love me.

Oh and did I mention it was raining?  Yep it started around 3:30 or 4 and hasn’t really stopped.  Have I also mentioned I love rainy Saturday nights?

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.

I am staying with the bank I have

As some of you who have been following me have been reading I was considering changing banks due to the fact that the one I have (Webster) was going to make some changes and start charging another fee if certain things were not done. Well it turns out that a lot of banks will be doing that. So far now I am staying right where I am. I was considering going to Chase Bank. There is a branch across the street from my office but they are also going to charge if you don’t have a balance of $1000. Mom had suggested I go with Milford Bank but I objected because I didn’t want to go there. She kept asking I told I just didn’t want to. I tried to tell her I didn’t like it there. I didn’t tell her that they closed my account because I was verbally abusive to them one day. So they say. First of all I don’t care what their policy is. I was in a hurry and they were not being very helpful and you just don’t close an account because the customer is having a freaking hissy fit.

So how was the rest of my day yesterday you ask? Well it was okay. I wasn’t feeling well after lunch. I had gastric pains it made me feel really uncomfortable for the rest of the day. It could have been from the soup (it was the clams). Yeah I know too much Info but it is what it is. My arms were achy for the rest of the day as well. I am not sure what that was about but they had been hurting for most of it anyway.

Ah the internet explorer is giving me grief again. It was slow so it did that check and then it tells you to go to the website to see what the problem was and one of the steps it says to do this and I will when I have the time. I have a feeling I would need a whole day to do it. It has been quite some time

Getting back to my day yesterday I guess as a part of raising money for United Way we can dress in our favorite sports team a few times in November. We have to sign up with United Way and then dress either for a collegiate or pro team in their shirts etc. I don’t know what I am going to wear as I don’t follow a particular team wither collegiate or professional.


I didn’t get to meet with Debra yesterday. She had called me around 4:30 (I missed the call) and to tell me there was an emergency and would be delayed. I could have stayed a little longer to finish the postage tallies. When I arrived the doors were locked so I waited downstairs until she called and said she needed to reschedule. I can only imagine what was going on. It must have been very frightening for the client. At first we were going to meet Wednesday but then I remembered I see Dr. Martin at 4:40. I called her back later to tell her that.

Before coming home I called Mom and explained to her what was going on. She was cooking dinner. I was glad to be home by 5:30.

When I arrived home Bob the landscaper was there. They were discussing what to do about the garage. Bottom line its coming down. To the neighbors it’s not an eyesore but it eventually will be one if the critters have anything to say about it. Anyway they made a financial arrangement so Mom wouldn’t be overwhelmed. The doors are rotting out and the windows need replacing and that might be more than we can afford right now.

When he left we had chicken and rice it was delicious. We watched the news and then after dinner I did some laundry and looked into the banking packages at Chase Bank, that’s why I came to the decision I opened up with this entry.

I didn’t watch much of last night’s NCIS USA line up. For a few reasons that include I saw them before and I didn’t like the character of Hollis Mann. I turn it off every time she is on. I will be watching it tonight though. It will be a couple of weeks before a new episode is on.

I did get rid of a few emails last night. I think I may try and get rid of some more before hitting the sack again. I hope it will help me to get to sleep.

So Far So Good

Well so far so good. I got up rather late and rushed around again but made it on time to work. (Pats self on back.) Mom was up when I left. She reminded me to take the soup and I did. I am currently ripping (that makes me nervous by the way) one of my Celtic CD’s to this hard drive.



I showed Joan my CD collection and she was surprised and a little confused. She said that Cami can’t go on a rage and rant when this happens she has herself to blame. She needs to follow rules.



Aw Susan R (my manager) became a new puppy owner this weekend. He is a Terrier mix and his name is Ed. She is showing pictures all over the place. He is gorgeous.



It seems like Joanie is having problems with her IDX this morning. That’s not a good sign. She must be going nuts over this. Oh she must have clicked on something that made it change its viewing. Steve helped her.



Gayle arrived around 9:30 with Karen the newbie. Annette took her to her seat. I haven’t seen Cami yet-oh I take that back she just arrived. Okay head phones securely on my head Celtic music playing loud.



Okay well I just talked with Joanie and she said they were laughing and talking and there was no big blow up. Joanie is pissed.



It’s now 11:30. I got a request from Cami to get her box for her. I did it with no attitude and acted as though nothing was out of sync. I did tell her she owed me big time. We laughed…



I had the left over clam chowder for lunch. There was still too much for one meal so I could probably eat it tomorrow for lunch.



I called Mom earlier to suggest to her she check out Chase bank and see if she likes what is offered. I think I might be able to do it.



Okay I have about two hours left to do my wrok and I would like to get it done today if I can.
