KateP's musings

Today was Ted’s Graduation party. Ted is my friend Telka and John’s youngest son who graduated in June from High School. It was from 12 to 6 but I got there around 1 or so. I was the first of the adults to arrive some of Ted’s guests were downstairs playing Wii or video games in General. While Telka and I waited for the others to arrive we just talked about her former job at a High School in North Haven that was just a bad situation administration wise and just horrible situations Telka also told me about their trip to Hawaii they had returned from a few days earlier. The pictures and stories were wonderful. After a while Roberta and Mike came and we talked and started eating. After awhile some more people came and we talked about the Manchester mayhem. One of Telka’s College mates arrived and we were enthralled with her stories of Cuba and coming to America. It was nearly seven when I left. I was getting tired and wanted to come home. When I came home Mom was watching Ask t...

It really was a beautiful day for being the first day of August. I am not even sure what the temperature was but it was nice and comfortable. It was so much so that I stayed in bed longer than usual for Sunday morning. When I finally did get up I got online and checked my forums and some emails. I didn’t see much that needed all the attention so I quickly got ready for bingo. I made it in pretty good time. I got the coffee started and chatted with some of the residents then eventually both Chris and Natalie came in. Natalie did work and Chris helped me set up and serve the coffee and get residents ready to play. We had 12 or 13 residents play this week and only a few of them won this time. We play about 6 games and I usually go from 15 cents to 30 cents. I told Natalie about it and she suggested that we only play for 15 cents because they are going through too much money.

Yesterday was incredibly busy but enjoyable. It was the usual heavy mail day for Monday. I had no problems with the charts. I did finish Friday’s lockbox mail and will have to finish Yesterday’s today. I still have to get the mail from the lobby or I will be overwhelmed again. I did manage to get Patrice’s letter finished and mailed yesterday along with Gail’s letter. I posted on my forum that they were mailed but I haven’t posted to the lists. I still have Stacey B’s letter to write and mail out this week. I know I won’t be able to do it during work but hopefully when I get home tonight. I did receive a nice letter from Lisa in KS. She had a lot of problems growing up it seems. I will get a letter out to her this week I hope. Dave called me yesterday. He invited me to a cook out for last night. It was also Lulu’s Birthday. I called Mom and told her what the plans were. I came home got changed and then went to the store and picked up and excessive amount of chips and dips...
