KateP's musings

This weekend was awesome!  Saturday I spent two and half hours at the gym.  I had two classes from 8-10. The first one was just a regular one with Alex and the second was Challenge class.  The trainers and instructors also had to take pictures. I tried really hard to keep up and I think I did okay. At the time I didn’t think so but I seem to be feeling it this morning.  At 12:30 I had my session with Alex. We did some review of the week and did some rope stuff and then well that’s starting to get fuzzy. Let’s just say I was really tired. I had weighed in earlier that morning and I am up to 218.  Gained one pound but he wasn’t worried he can see I am trying. I have signed up for two classes this week. In between my trips to the gym I managed to get to the vet, ANimal shelter, and the bank all before 12.  Of course I had to go home and pick up the fecal sample for the vet and the three bags of kibble that needed to go to the animal shelter.  ...

I am glad last night was a fairly quiet night.  I did some laundry and had dinner and watched TV for a while.  I didn’t get on the computer much.  I was getting tired. I did get an invitation to the Municipal Inauguration next Tuesday at Parson’s complex.  Its early but it lasts two hours.  Everyone who was elected to boards and commissions and offices of Mayor and CIty Clerk will be sworn in.  I have gone every year since our Mayor was elected. I also got two phone calls.  One was from the woman who ordered five tickets and reserved a table for the AUction tomorrow night.  She wanted to give me her phone number.  She was flighty.  As of our conversation she didn’t receive the tickets.  I mailed them out Sunday.  I told her to call me if she didn’t get them. The other call was from the Cardiologist’s office they needed to change the appointment in December to January 2 (the day we come back to work).  I believe i...

Last night before I went to bed I checked the weather report for today.  Do you know they were saying it was going to snow last night?  IT didn’t.  I checked a few times.  Now granted it could have from the time I actually fell asleep but I didn’t when I woke up during the night.  There was no snow on the ground when I got up this morning in fact the sun was shining.  I did get to watch an interesting video on why it's so quiet after it snows.  Very interesting (it is sound proofing material and as it melts it lessens). Anyway there is no snow in the forecast for this weekend only clouds and cold winds. Today is my hair appointment.  I think it includes the touch up to the haircolor.  I am not sure if it is also the trim.  I am not sure if I could have cancelled it to go to the UConn game. What you ask?  Last week Dr. T asked me to go with her and her family to the UConn final game.  She really wanted me to change my pla...

After hearing about a cyber-attack today on some sites I frequent (Okay so one) I am not so sure I want to go to those sites tonight.   After I heard Anchorman (do the still call them Anchorpersons?) David Muir open the newscast with the Cyber-attack report I got online to read more about it.   Apparently someone hacked into the company DYN and disrupted many sites.   They are not sure who is behind it.   There are some theories but I didn’t hear them.   I had checked my Bank account on the office Computer even though I brought the laptop.    It wasn’t charging today so I had to wait until I got home to use it.   However I went to a few sites on break.   I have to wonder if it will effect work computer.   Work was very busy.   I split my time between the refund checks and the mail.   The mail I didn’t finish yesterday and the mail that came today and all the refund checks that came to me both in personal and insurance re...

This was the view from my back door tonight.  It started around 3 and stopped around an hour ago.  There is more predicted for the early morning commute which is a relief because I don't have to go to work tomorrow.  If the snow continues all day then I am not leaving the house.  If it does I can do some errands. Bingo went well we had almost a full house.  Bob was there and as usual exhausted.  I don't know if that man ever gets any rest.  At least he says he has tomorrow off. I made lamb chops and vegetables for dinner tonight.  I cooked four chops and they will be eaten through out the week.   I may even try some other stuff. After talking with Jim via Messenger I watched the last 45 minutes of the broncos vs Steelers game.  I have no idea how they decide the scoring but it was close at one point then Broncos pulled ahead.  Now they play Patriots next Sunday.  I heard from Kris tonight.  He thanked...

Well Hello  Sports Fans!  I hope you are all having a great day and getting ready for tonight’s game.  Whom ever your favorite is I hope they win.  I will be watching the NCIS Marathon.  Be sure to look out for the Smilow cancer Center Ad and tell me what you thought of it.  Mom tells me everyone she knows is talking about it . As you may remember it was 5 this morning the last time I was on line.  I did fall back to sleep and managed to get up for the day by 8:30.  I was showered and dressed by 9 and checking out some stuff online before going.  Mom was already downstairs having her coffee and reading the paper. As I was leaving I saw my Neighbor Darcy.  She is on a new schedule at work so now she is able to do things differently.  She is doing quite well and is expecting her family to come up for part of the Easter Holiday.  I had to rush to the gas station and to Bingo because I was late. “A” was there as the Recreation Liai...

It is three hours and fifteen minutes before game time. There are supposedly a number of pre-game shows on that would make most sports enthusiasts slobber over the tube. Not me. I have been doing nothing really. I had left over shrimp and rice from the Dominoes game dinner we had last night. I watched TV for a short time the rest I have been sleeping. This morning I went to bingo and despite the behavior of one resident I had a good time. I was able to start on time and finish on time but still went to church late. The reason I was late is partly because I went and chatted with the workers picketing outside. We had a great time playing Mexican Train last night. DebbieM was the first to arrive then D&D from WH. Followed by M&R who were a little late but at least they got there. We ordered dinner and started playing the food arrived and we ate and talked about everything. Once we finished dinner we continued playing until 10. We still have to schedule the next night out....

It continues to be a sad week for the World of UCONN Huskies. Memorial Services and Days of Reflections will be held all week for the murdered UCONN Husky play Jasper Howard. His family came to the campus yesterday to participate and to thank those who tried to save his life. In other work related/College related news Russell Clark the Lab Tech who is suspected of killing Grad student Annie Le is expected to plead not guilty. There is some ruling coming down about sealed documents. I am trying to read the articles as I write this but it is not working. Work is getting better. I just have a ton of readdress mail to deal with and I hope to get that done. We found out that Tevis and Bob lost their grandmother yesterday. According to Tevis’ facebook they really miss her. We as a team are supposed to be doing something but not sure when. Progress is being made for our annual holiday party. We have picked our secret Santa and this year I will be Annette C’s secret Santa. I am not s...

It is Superbowl Sunday. Most important day of the year for sports fans, advertisers, network(S), players etc. There were pregame activities all day and from what I read the city of Pittsburgh had pep rallies through out the weekend. I wish I could say I am interested but if you read this blog long enough or knew me at all you would know I am not interested. I was watching other things or on line with the emails and websites I didn’t write at all yesterday because I didn’t feel like it. On top of that things are still unsettling as far as Jim is concerned. He was supposed to contact Liz for a ticket to Florida so he could get into a facility to get him some help with his health crisis. Mom has been worried and made calls and talked with Liz and inadvertently hurt her feelings for telling her she should have stayed with Jim until he got on the plane. He never did and didn’t answer any of his phones and so Liz called the police and when it was done Jim disowned her. Apparently he...

It is after 6 am in the morning. I am listening to the report about Don Imus’ firing. It happened yesterday by CBS after this past week where he made those very ignorant and inflammatory remarks about Rutgers woman’s Basketball when they won the basketball tourney. MSNBC decided to not continue to air the simulcast of his radio show. Imus did meet with the team yesterday and apologized. The Governor of NJ was supposed to be there but was in an accident on the way to the meeting. He was in emergency surgery as of last night. A pick up truck hit him after trying to avoid another pick up truck. I am usually NOT very worried about today’s date. I can’t think of the word that it is called but I do know a few people are at work. Today is going to be a good day for me. I will be able to work on a lot of stuff that has been accumulating. I do know that I ordered a lot of charts and I am hoping they all are not going to be delivered. It is my short day today. Well it is almost 10 pm and I am he...
