Midweek thoughts 11-04

-
  It’s been a reflective Wednesday. I spent some time this morning thinking about Alex and sent over a note of support after hearing the election results. Alex wrote back with a good perspective—taking today to rest, get a massage, and grab a seafood lunch before figuring out next steps. It was a nice reminder of how important it is to take a breath and recharge when things don't go as hoped. Later in the morning, I emailed Debra to send over Monday's entry ("Dragging My feet"). Getting into the routine of keeping up with these reflections feels good, even on the slower days. Looking ahead to the rest of the day, I have an appointment at CVS in Milford at 5:00 PM to get my flu, COVID, and RSV vaccines out of the way. Because of that, I decided to decline the evening Coffee Talk group at Twin Pines Diner—keeping the schedule lighter feels like the right choice for tonight. Looking forward to a quiet evening at home with Skyboy once everything is taken care of.

Dragging My Feet 11/2

-
  I woke up several times during the night.  I watched TV and hoped I would not be making Street Pizza again.  I woke up for the day by 5:30 and fed Skyboy.  Stayed in bed until 6.  I slowly got ready expecting not to go but I was fine.    Wiped the car off of dew and left a little after 7. I took a different route today to avoid the sun. It worked. I took a different way home as well. I had some slightly anxious moments. tomorrow. I am going to take a different way as well.   It was a heavy day of printing out the three days of health logic.  It took me all morning I believe.  I managed to get the scanning started late.  The claim forms were done too. On the way home I stopped at Chipotles and got dinner.  I got two salads hoping I could bring one to work but that didn't happen. .I also noticed Rich and someone else at Liz's condo.  It turned out to be Adam.  They were starting the whole sorting and Estate stuff.....

Turned into a quiet day 11-1

-
  OH man.  I was all set to go to the laundromat  and do the laundry but decided I could do it after work Monday.   I did manage to replace the emergency key.   Especially after I locked myself out of the house late yesterday afternoon. Went to a neighbor Jim and discussed options.   He did suggest  I check  Liz's house  and  did and found it and was able to get in.  So since it is my set I brought it home.  I may give  it toRich in case I get locked out again.   Oh all the keys were inside and I took  a walk outside not realizing the door was still locked.  The front door was too.  So the rest of today became a lazy day after I went to the polls.  I ran into a few people including Chef Maureen.   We discussed relationships.  I did ask how she knew to ask about the bossing.  She reminded me of the relationship she had with mom and Liz.  She also spoke to Liz about it. ...

Halloween Eve Day 10-31-2026

-
  Well Happy Halloween eve Day.  It's beautiful out yet a bit chilly.   I was out a little bit this morning for early voting. Unfortunately, I was about 2 hours early, so I went back home.. I never went back out but I have an opportunity tomorrow.\n To vote.. Sent the morning texts to most of the family.  They all have made plans for tonight  I managed to put on the pork chop recipe that I've been looking at. And it's cooking as we speak. It should be done in another 2 hours or so.. I wasn't feeling well tongiht. I think it was because of the sweet potato pie.I finished off Friday night.  I did have Pumpkin mini cupcakes but I decided  to slow it down for a change. I received my long term service award in the mail shared it with the immediate family  I tried the pork chop and it was indeed tender. The gravy could have been better but I will try better next time.  I made baked potatoes for dinner as well.  Spent the rest of the night bing...

This is going to be hard

-
  I am and have had a hard time writing this entry.   Because there is no computer at home and the past couple of months have been busy on some levels. Last time I wrote I was getting ready for the family reunion and hoping my home was good enough for guests.   I also was working, taking care of health maintenance and volunteering.   To be honest, the guest part for home was a little rocky but I found my voice.   The overall reunion was a blast. We had 25 people there and it was a lot of fun.   The food was delicious.   The next day sibs and I had breakfast together. The rest of the summer was copasetic; Liz was still getting home healthcare but lessened as the days progressed.   I saw her from time to time.   Texted her every day.   Then in late September she got sick again. She was taken to the hospital with breathing issues and pneumonia.   The infection was not broken. She was conscious that last Sataday and we saw each ...

I am getting overwhelmed again

-
  First I realize my saying this opens me to a lot of criticism and judgement. But don’t want to hear it, see it.  Keep it to yourselves.  I am slightly panicking because I misplaced my cc again.  I have a feeling it's home in my pants pocket because I didn’t put it in the wallet yesterday after I used it.  I quickly looked in the car this morning but didnT see it.  I looked at the office-nothing.  I will go home and search for it.   I was hoping to go pick up the rug doctor paraphernalia on the way home but now I have to wait until I find the cc at the condo.  I may have to go tomorrow.  I am hoping the cleaning will not take long. Last week, the new property manager sent a letter out and I haven’t picked it up yet.  It's making me very nervous.  FRank also sent an email to let everyone know there is a change to the work approval application. We have to have a COI, say Fernwood  EStates Condo Association and we have ...

We had some excitement yesterday

-
  We had a storm during the night that caused major damage in some neighborhoods and we had no power from 6:20 to maybe 8 am.  Some of the business on Route 1 seemed to be powered.  So I got my coffee there at Cumberland Farms.  I spoke to one woman who was without power since 1 am this morning. UI sent out service emails updating how long it was going to take.  They had it resolved by 10. I think Optimum was another story. By 1:30 it was taken care of.  So it will be fine tonight. I may rent the Rug Doctor and work on it tomorrow.  I can get it at Lowes but I am not sure what the traffic is going to be like when I head home because of the storm.  I am hoping it won’t take me a long time to get it.  I see that it costs like $21 for the detergent for the Rug Doctor.  You notice no one ever mentions that along with the rental fee?  Oh, it's 48-49 for two days. In the end it's going to cost $75 for me to do.  I think I would save ...
