KateP's musings

It has been a busy few days and by the time I get home I have been tired.    Usually by 7 I am upstairs and watching TV.   I get to cuddle with the kitties.   Work has been busy and getting more done.   I was told by a department not to fax stuff to them because it ties up the fax (I forget the exact words) but I had just called someone and they said I could.   I told Bob about it too.   This means I will go back to sending all the authorizations via campus mail.   There will be an in house retirement party for Joyce on Nov 20.   It will be a cake and present actually but I like to call it an in house retirement party. I met with Debra on Thursday and had a good session.   IT went by quick.   We talked about my week and activities that are coming up.   WE may have to do a phone session in a couple of weeks as I have some stuff to do right before the Thanksgiving break. Liz and I have received the wedding invitation...

Today My Sister turns 55. Unfortunately all I did was sing her the birthday song. When Mom and I arrived at her house she was having dinner with Rich and Nelson. Actually Nelson was in the backroom napping and Liz and Rich were chatting and eating pizza. Mom had a card for Liz and handed it to her and Liz made some stupid joke “well you spelled my name right!” I gave her a swat. I think about it and wanted to slug her. She pisses me off when she pulls that shit. We stayed for about 15 20 minutes to get a latest scoop on Jess’s wedding apparently some of the gifts were taken or misplaced. We talked about going to the C bridal shower on Saturday. Liz is not sure if she is going. Once that was established we headed home. We had dinner and then I came upstairs and spent the evening watching NCIS and now I am going to bed.

Afternoon everyone! How are you doing? I am a bit tired had a wonderfully long day yesterday. Roberta R hosted a shower for her daughter Miriam and we had a blast. At least I did. I just spent half the night fretting over if I said anything out of line or embarrassing. When I think I have said something inappropriately I get a really bad feeling in the stomach late at night and worry about it before going to sleep. It also didn’t help that I had coffee earlier at the party. As I mentioned the shower went excellently. Miriam was totally surprised and had many beautiful gifts. She loved the throw I bought her on Saturday. She got some more of the beautiful and handy gifts. I think she may have to return some because she got triples. She left around 4 with her in-laws. Ben’s Parents are wonderful. Tony Ben’s step-father who enjoys the outdoors took a walk with Mike to the beach. I stayed until 5 with one other of Roberta’s friends, Debbie M from Wallingford. We made tentati...

I am just so wired right now. This weekend was pretty cool. Friday I worked and had a great day. Mom left for PA that afternoon. When I came home I wasn’t really feeling well. I did some laundry and had dinner. I went to bed around 11. I received my wedding invitation to Miriam and Ben’s wedding in May. It was a lovely invitation. I need to remember to get out ASAP. Saturday I paid some bills, more laundry, and vacuumed the house. I did some pen pal stuff. I had received a rejection note from a girl in IL. It was a lovely note. Mom came home that afternoon. We wrapped Miriam’s Shower gifts and then I went to the store. Mom told me how the weekend went and it sounds like it was wonderful. Jim surprised her by renting an extra room for him and the kids and they spent the night with her. She said Emily did a great job at the school play which was “Footloose”. That night I went to 5:30 mass. I sat with my friend Rose and her Mom. Rose told me that Dave’s Dad has lung c...
