Yesterday was St Patrick’s Day. It was also my maternal grandmother’s 119th
Birthday. We had some great celebrations for Nanny (she didn’t like being
called grandma) over the years. Some at
restaurants and later at family homes.
Her Siblings all died in their 90’s except for one that was Aunt
Helen. She died at 104. My last memories of Nanny were she was in her
house until was 90 we had a woman come and care for her when the children and
grandchildren couldn’t. Eventually she
went into the nursing home when she deteriorated by dementia. She was feisty almost to the end.
A lot of people were dressed in green in the
office. I didn’t. Not even the socks that Dr. T gave me last week. I had a very good chat with EV regarding the
support of Local 33 and I have to say I am understanding it little more. Also the importance of being a united front
on issues as well.
Now that some scanning is being done again (one
person so far). I will be looking up
more EOBs and stuff. I was told this by
Supervisor Bob yesterday afternoon. I
will be doing it when things are a little slow (and there are going to be days
like that). Yesterday was not going to
be that day. I still had a lot to open
by the time I left. I also have a lot
of checks to label and mail.
Great news…My cable provider and WFSB came to an
agreement yesterday afternoon and now we get CBS again. Just in time for the March Madness. OF course two State Reps are taking responsibility
for this action. Both are friends of
mine but I get the feeling they won’t acknowledge each other. Maybe they will. Anyway it was great to see something on the
channel.
When I got home I chatted with neighbor Don while
he was playing snowball toss with Lilly. We talked about old neighbors and
memories.
Then I came in and played with the kitties and then
eventually made dinner. It was tortellini
and sauce. I had a lot of it despite the
fact I wasn’t planning on eating much.
The grocery delivery came just before 8 and he came
in a truck with no lights inside the storage part. He also stopped at a neighbor’s house. Everything I ordered came. I know I have some cooking to do later this
afternoon.
I spent the rest of the night doing very little
except crossword puzzles. I did pretty
well on about half them (I did ten puzzles).
Sky was pretty funny he was playing hide and seek
with me in the living room. I have a
white chair with a high back and he hid under neither and every time I tried to
look underneath he was swat at me his paws.
He “nailed me at one point and then he would push himself out from
underneath and try and grab my heels. I
decided it was time to end and head to bed.
I took the laptop up with me to finish a few
puzzles and guess who came first?
Tiger! She had been sleeping in
the chair for several nights but last night she decided to come to the
bed. Eventually sky also did. We eventually fell asleep.
