KateP's musings

Late this afternoon when my cell phone went off to remind me about my meeting with Debra I decided I would look into it like Frank suggested and see if I could fix it from “no service”. Well within a few minutes I took the battery out and lifted the door where the “sim” card was and moved it around and got the dust off it. (Dust bunny was attached to it.) I closed it up and it started to work. I had gotten four text messages in a matter of seconds. Two were from Emily. I explained to the phone situation. The other two were from something I was doing online. I Ignored it. Once that was done I headed out to Debra’s. I would a little late as I checked with Claudia to find out if there would be OT the rest of the week and she wasn’t sure. The walk was a little uncomfortable as my ankle was hurting. I had taken my meds but they hadn’t kicked in yet. I have to reorder some plaquenil now. My session with Debra was rather quick as she was on call and she had to return a call and cut...

Well Phil the Ground Hog in Punxsutawney PA saw his shadow yesterday morning and the audience heckled it. Do they realize no matter if he saw it or not that it would still be six weeks of winter? Apparently the Connecticut version of Phil also saw his shadow and there is some prairie dog that also can predict the winter and has done it better then these two clowns. You can find out more at the link above. Yesterday went pretty well. I garnered an invitation to a breakfast meeting with our Executive Director Marianne D-S for this Thursday. It is basically an employee participation meeting with out the big crowds. I don’t have much to tell her but it is rather awkward (and I get the feeling I will be the only one there besides the administration staff.) considering how closed to being in trouble with the mail I was last week (see my entry from last Wednesday). Mom says that Jim did pretty well with the colonoscopy yesterday. Despite the fact they will have to perform some biopsie...

Why you ask? Well this morning about 20 of 8 there were 8 of us in the elevator and it stopped--in between 2nd Floor and the street. The other seven were from KOF (Knights of Columbus) and that was the cosmic joke. If any of you have read my blogs you know I kvetch about how the employees from that organization wlaks down the ramps to get to their building. One of them used the call button and got the company operator (or who ever) and they said they would send someone. We had to call them back and then it was decided to call 911. They got us out after 8. Luckily I was able to call Susan R and leave message. I couldn't get Patti. That's why I am not using their elevators. They really need to do something about it. Later on I called Mom. First to let her know what happened (not that she could do anything about it) and then again to let her know that I would like her to invite Bob and Ethel. She was telling me yesterday that she felt bad she couldn't invite them because Liz r...
