KateP's musings

I have no idea what my original entry for today was going to be but here it will be mixed in I am sure.     The numbness from the tooth extraction wore off just as I was going to bed.   My tooth was hurting a little then and a lot this morning.   I did take Tylenol and it’s a dull throb now.       I called the oral surgeon’s office and still must register online.   I am not anxious to do it now while at work.   Something tells me my schedule for next week will be changing a little more. I sent Liz a message and told her the results of last night. I haven’t heard from her yet.     This morning was fine.   The kitties went right upstairs to the cooler part of the house.   Sky has been lying in the hallway a lot and I found Tiger on my old bed (her regular spot).   I am going to have to go and get some of their canned food.   All I have is the blue buffalo no grain one.   It’s been there fo...

Well I survived my first week back at work.   There were a few times I thought I fucked up so bad that I would be in trouble but I survived it.   The issues I spoke of earlier in the week about the mail continued until Thursday when all 14 bins arrived.   Shadow and I were working on them and almost done.   Admittedly she does it much faster than I.   I am concerned about that. I did have computer issues that needed to be dealt with but by Friday I tried to get any personal distractions out of the way. Most nights I came home exhausted.   I didn’t do much except the important to me stuff.   That would be the cats, my dinners, and walks.   I left stuff to be done to later today.   I missed the meetings (I didn’t have to go according to Barbara) and I missed the weekly meetup.   I went to bed by 8 on Wednesday.   The rest of the days were late nights.   There was one hiking meetup that was supposed to be this Sunday but was...

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 couldn’t sleep last night worrying about the finances.   I decided sometime after midnight I would have to get back on a budget (I hate budgets) .   Over the years I tried being on budget but never could figure out a good one to have.   Many times I would just ignore them.   Well last night I went to wikihow.com to look for simple budgets and I think I may have found them.   The whole setting up is a pain.   I use the credit cards for almost everything.   So I am not sure if should list only once or separate them.    I found out that even though I may only pay the insurances for the house or car once a year or twice a year figure divide it monthly.   I never could see that on the paper.   I am going to have to talk to Debra tonight about it. Poor Sky….he had been sleeping in close proximity to me and he did curl up with me the few times I tried to sleep by the time I was ready to actually sleep it was his turn to get up and ambl...

In just under six hours is the Fitness Edge Challenge Kickoff.  What I will be expecting (according to the emails I have been getting) THE GAME PLAN: Meet your team & discuss strategies for success Receive your customized menu & workout plan Pick up your pre-ordered supplements at 20% off Set your eight week goal Exclusive Personal Training discounts tonight only! I have also gotten the emails to bring the support system with me.  Not even close. If she even hasn’t come out to wish me luck at the walk yesterday I wasn’t expecting her to come to this.  That’s okay I have the people at work and at the gym and everywhere else. So far today I have had a breakfast burrito egg white style and coffee.  I made sure I had salad for lunch (but I was still hungry so I had a protein bar) and not sure about dinner yet.  My plan was to go to store before going to the gym. I will get everything I need for the recipes and dinners. Speak...

This week has been so busy and even though I started this particular entry last week I never had a chance to get back to it nor have I had a chance to write this week. Today is the Oyster fest I signed up for volunteering at but I am bailing because I am tired and I really have things to do.  So much has gone on this week that I don’t know where to begin. Last week at this time Roberta and I were enjoying our Saturday morning.  That afternoon we went looking for a new refrigerator we tried three different places and finally went to Lowes and looked at one.  We decided to think about it and talk with Liz about it and by the middle of the week I got a new one.  It looks very pretty and very organized and according to Roberta “empty”.  After that we did some grocery shopping for things that Roberta wanted to bring home with her as they don’t have these Items down in her area.  Such as MY-T Fine pudding mix or bieles, and a couple of sauces they li...

When I first wrote this morning’s entry it was last night and scheduled to appear when it did.   Well it didn’t go exactly what was written. Pea pod came at 7:14 this morning while I was working on the computer and watching TV.   I was finished in 45 minutes of when it arrived. The rest of the morning I worked on Trish’s letter, had breakfast and then started getting ready for my coffee session with Dave. I thought we were meeting at the Starbuck’s in Orange and that’s where I went then when I didn’t see him I sent him a message and he was at the one at the mall which I totally forgot about.   So I got there a little after 11 and we spent nearly 3 hours talking.   At times I didn’t think he really listened to me because he would ask questions on things I just told him and to me that’s really frustrating. Before we left we discussed taking a day trip somewhere with the T&A travel place we used for the Canada trip.   I told him I would take a l...

As 2015 draws to a close I have had my mind on many things.  The Christmas holiday, family, friends, and of course health.   I wonder if I did enough for the Christmas holiday (not so much), spent enough time with family (probably not).  Did I spend enough time and energy with Friends.   Yesterday I started my second week of pet sitting Preston.  All week long I split my time between him (and his “siblings”) and my very own two babes.  I know that the kitties were lonely because they have been very cuddly once I get into the house.  Of course there were times they avoided me for like ten minutes.  I really can’t wait to get back to them full time (or regular schedule).   I had my CT-Scan yesterday which took only a matter of minutes and will get the results at my next appointment with Dr. I.  This gave me the opportunity to drop off the FMLA papers to the cardiologist. Today I managed to do some pen pal letters and get the...

This past week has been a little hectic as I watched my sister worry about my BIL who took a fall and injured his head/spine that landed him in the hospital until today.  He was unable to use his left arm and had speech problems.  As  I write this he was taken to a well respected PT recovery hospital. The rest of the week I worked, went to meetings, and caught up with some friends I hadn’t seen in quite sometime..  I returned to some organizations that I stepped back from and I was glad that I came back.   This week I have a few doctor’s appointments and probably a quiet Mother's day weekend.  Every Time I plan on doing something I usually end up backing out.  For example My town had two or three events.  One I wasn’t doing was  a fishing derby but the other two I could have done.

Dear MOm, How hard can it be to search and shop for a new mop?  I know we have a swiffer mop and the other steamer mop but in the entire time you have had them in the house I haven’t used them and putting those pads on them seem daunting.  I don’t want to spend this kind of money on it.  I just want the one with a sponge and squeezer.  I am not sure I want to get t his one either .  I guess I am just going to have to look at the ones here and maybe get some supplies for them.   Liz called a bit ago our plans changed for this morning.  We are going to get together after the sing-along.  It won’t be too late.  She has a friend coming over for “brunch” at 11:30 so she can’t do it now.  It gives me more time to clean up a little.   Well I better get back to the cleaning and getting to the old clothes that I have in the other room.   Take care, Love Me

November 26, 2013 Dear Friends: It is a cold and cloudy morning and it is supposed to get worse as the day goes on.  Rain is expected mid to late day and it is supposed to be heavy.  I am prepared to take home the boots that have been here since last winter.  (ewww). I got up around 5 and started picking up stuff and straightening up and making the bed this morning before getting ready for work.  Olivia was supposed to come around 8 this morning.  She apparently did change the sheets on my bed.  I am not really happy with that because they were just changed Sunday and they were the fleece for warmth.  Oh Well its cleaned that’s all that’s important. Work was busy had lots of lockbox still have to finish opening it tomorrow.  The second wind and the final round were light.  I managed to get it delivered late this afternoon.  I had the opportunity to serenade two people for their birthdays today.  The first one was to Susan a...

Yesterday Mom told me how she spent her day and one of the things she did was to go to the attorney to have her will revised.  i asked her how it was done.  She gave him information and he will make sure it will be legal and so forth.  I just looked up how to make a will and found this out about a Social Media Will .  No it isn’t what you think (at least I don’t think it is) but it is what to do with the content and access of the social media accounts once you die..  It is amazing how social media has influenced our lives.   Work went well.  I got a lot accomplished again.  I got reminders for things that need to be done like compliance training and some other thing.  We also got a reminder to update our emergency contact now that Hurricane season has begun (June 1st). WE had some interesting weather today.  It rained for most of the morning.  The sun came out at lunchtime and from 3:30 on it was raining and rain...
