It really is fall

It was really chilly (50’s) this morning that I had to put on a coat.  It was my combo leather/sweater jacket that really isn’t the type to keep you warm.  I don’t want to get those out yet but I am sure it will be time soon. I also don’t want to turn on the heat either.  

It was great cuddling with the kitties last night.  Tiger was the first to go up with me and around 1 Sky nudged into his spot until maybe 4 this morning.  They were running around crazy a few times last night before then. I wasn’t sure if they had gotten into the chocolate chips that had dropped on the floor.

I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed being at bingo yesterday and how much I missed being there!  Even after all my bitching the last few weeks about not being told the schedule had been changed for Grandparents day.  WE had 17 residents playing this week. That’s the most in a long while. So despite all my blathering I don’t think I will be stopping volunteering for bingo anytime in the near future (unless the ED has other plans).

I managed to get most of the laundry done and made phone calls to the dryer repair guy who called me this morning with numbers and when i called him back he said he would look at it this saturday.

Since I still can’t use my computers at home and  I am still not used to using my phone as the main source of internet access.  I am trying to catch up on things that I may have missed. I let Chairman Phil know that the mins will be late.  AT Lunchtime I placed a call to computer tech Lee and just waiting for his return call.

Got an email earlier this morning from LGPres informing us there is a bake sale and flower sale this coming weekend.  I know have to get more ingredients for the no bake cake (I ate the crust last night) i can do that near the end of the week.

There is canvassing tonight for Candidate Cindi and tomorrow for all candidates.  I committed myself for tonight after 6:30. I was planning on going after my session  with Alex tomorrow and I think that will work (but if we are canvassing and the weather is expected to get messy then it's going to be phone banking).

Got an email from Dr. T today and she forwarded a message from a former GFWC-CT President who has been our ally and friend in our early days.  The woman has been dealing with cancer and is expected to have surgery this winter.

It is Homecoming time for many of the schools this month.  All the schools I have attended (mostly Endicott and Linden Hall) have been sending out a lot of Alumni notifications for activities and events.  The Interim President of Endicott sent out a Presidents notification reflecting on the loss of Richard Wylie who passed away in early spring. On Facebook there have been many discussions regarding memories of Linden Hall and I believe they have already sent out Save the date cards for next years Reunion Weekend.

Well I have to get back to work..............

ENJOY the day...

I have been noticing

I have been noticing the days are getting longer lately the first time was last week after a rainy day.  The sun was still in the sky and it was five o’clock.  I noticed it again this afternoon.  Of course that means the mornings start in darkness and the sun is blindingly bright in the east.  I like that because the lights don’t have to always be on when I get home. 

I was so tired yesterday when I got home from the day that I really didn’t do any journaling.  That doesn’t mean I wasn’t on the computer.  I did crossword puzzles and surfing the net but that’s it.

Work was fine.  Busy but fine.  Did some scanning and the mail.  A couple fo people came back from med leave and personal leave.  We have another collection for anther co-worker who had surgery.

Supervisor B sent out an email with the performance review that we have to fill out by next Monday.  I can’t believe it is time to do that again.  It is nothing they can hold against us actually.  It is just a review of the past year.

I don’t know what is going on with me but I thought I was supposed to meet with Dr. Lu yesterday but it turns out it was next month and I did have it in my calendar for next month.  I could have done a few things. 

I did go to the grocery store and picked up kitty supplies and then to Adams and got dinner (Lo Mein Veggie and Vegetable rice) then I picked up a pint of ice cream (Strawberry Shortcake)-I don’t know why I had bought two cans of fruit cocktail to have.

When I got home from the stores I fed the cats and then fed myself and just got settled in for the night.  The cats joined me at one point and I took these:

I don’t remember what time I went to sleep but it felt like a good sleep. When I got up this morning I felt fresh until after I fed kitties.

I have been coming up here most days and either sleeping a little more or watching TV until it’s time to get ready for work.  I have been managing to get out of the house at decent time. 

Today was supposed to be very active from work, meetings, and appointments.  Well the planets aligned and most everything I was supposed to do tonight was rearranged or cancelled.

I finally got back to the gym.  I went on my way back from the church (I had forgotten there was no general meeting) I contacted Tammy and Suzanne and Suzanne replied and told me there wasn’t a meeting this week.  So as I was driving back home I stopped at the gym for half hour.

Now I am going to bed.  I am starting to fall asleep.
