It is 10 of 7 and I am not quite ready for work. I got up around 5:30 and showered. It was a quick shower as the water turned cold quickly. I laid across the bed for a bit after the shower and then when I realized it was after 6 I got up and got Mom up. I have been surfing the net and wrote a letter to Debra. I won’t mail it until the weekend though.
As I mentioned yesterday Mom has an early morning breakfast (I think she said it’s a legislative breakfast) to attend so I got her up after 6 and now she is in the shower. She will be leaving once she is all ready. She has the other meeting at dinner time so won’t be home for that.
I haven’t heard from the two ladies that I sent pen pal inquiries to but it is still early. I have their files all set up. I hope they answer. One is from Iowa and the other I think is from MA.
Well it is 7 am and I need to get going…
Hey everyone thought I would pop in. I decided to print out all the entries I have written for the past two weeks for the Current Events journal swap to Kyra. (Waving to Kyra). I hope this will be acceptable. There aren’t much of current events on it and as I haven’t written every day for this blog it’s only the way I should write for her.
I have been trying to use the Google search engine to find any current events and I found a few but not the ones I wanted to share for example. There is or was some controversy last week about the appointment of one Mr. Candido to the Police Commissioners board for Milford. He was denied but the reasons are kind of fuzzy and in some circles the ploy he used was to have the handicapped kids that he has worked with over the years spoke on his behalf was scorned. Some feel because his wife who was on the Aldermanic Board in town jumped ship (from one political party to the other) he is being turned down.
Anyway, I found two things out last night that I think would be of interest. One of them was Republican presidential Candidate John McCain’s Win in the Florida Primary. That article is on the next page that I got from the New Haven Register. The other also from New Haven Register is that the Foxwood’s Casino’s in Uncasville caught on fire.
Being raised a Democrat I obviously would have to go with the Democratic choice. At this point it is either Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama. I think McCain understands everything (the quality that was recently written in a NY Times article) but as Mom says has the “Republican way of thinking”.
Around 12:30 I called home to see what Mom was up to and how the legislative breakfast went. She said it went well. When I called she was pulling papers together for tonight’s meeting. She says she will be leaving around 5.
I am going to be in so much trouble. There were some minutes I was supposed to write up before tomorrow and they are not done. I had a week to do them. I will have to do it tonight.
I also have to answer some letters and do laundry and put the garbage out. I just called the Beth El Shelter and left a message for the Soup Kitchen Director/manager. I hope he calls me back.
I made an appointment for the Hygienist today. It is for February 27 at 3 pm that means I get to leave at 2:30 from here. J
Around 3 I started cleaning up from the day. I still had work to open but I wanted to make sure the patient correspondence was out and ready.
It is now after 11 and I am heading to bed. I am so tired. Tonight was a good night. I left the office exactly at 4 and managed to get home before 4:30. When I arrived I found the basket of pinecones on its side and the stuff all over the floor. That’s how windy it got today.
Mom was upstairs when I came in. I told her about the basket and then she showed me what to do about dinner. She was getting ready at 5 and leaving after that. I read my mail and watched TV. I am having a head time remembering exactly what I was doing at that point.
I had watched TV and gotten online. I had my dinner at 5 and afterwards got changed and started doing laundry. I called Liz to see what she was up to. She was planning her Grand Canyon trip. She was exhausted and she sounded it.
Over the next few hours I wrote my letter to Alice W in MD and finished it by 9. I tried working on the recipe journal I am supposed to be sending out but it didn’t get far.
Now I am going to bed…
Good Night all.
