KateP's musings

Sunday was a fairly busy day despite the thunderstorm in the afternoon.   The Exercise class went well and we had fun there were six of us and I believe I did better than I did on Saturday.   I would later sign up for classes for today unfortunately I didn’t attend them.   Alex’s was full by the time I signed up but later found out two openings opened and I saw them too late.   I will have to check the schedule for tomorrow. After the class I headed to Shop Rite and went grocery shopping.   It took me an hour but I ended up spending more than I was planning on it.   I also added last minute items such as Salmon filets.   I hadn’t seen them for the last few weeks that I have been.   I also got peanut butter to snack on.   I got more creamer and sweetener because both were low.   I did manage to get paper towels and s’more baby wipes but I couldn’t get the Lysol wipes.   I managed to get more frozen vegetables and salad fixings that...

Good Morning.   It’s almost 7:30 in the morning and the sun is shining and it is 69 degrees.   I really thought I would be waking up to rain but no it’s coming after 1 this afternoon.   It’s supposedly going to last until 10 tonight.   I am glad because this will allow me to go to the grocery store right after my exercise class and I can be home before it starts. I forgot to mention I got my other coffee order that was late and never delivered.   My hope is that this will keep me going for the time being.   I still have the two boxes left of Dunkin pods (I opened the second one yesterday).   Both deliveries had a total of 96 k-pods.    I thought I was going to be getting one of my amazon deliveries (the wipes) yesterday because they wrote me and said it was coming and I am just so tired of the BS from them.   I will have to check the supplies in the cellar before going out this morning. I was able to cancel Paige’s class when an op...

Well I made it to class and did the best that I could.   It was SGT which means having partners,   I thought I was going to die but the most important thing to remember is to keep moving.   Luckily the weather held out for us to work out outside.   Everyone was saying it was going to start raining by 11. Meh. Alex let me know that he would be leaving at 11:30 so we would not be having our session today. So the next session will be Tuesday.   I promised I would walk when I got home.   We had a discussion after I used the in-body and that was highly disappointing.   What did I expect?   I had too many wings, I still swig the creamer and probably put too much in my coffee.    Not getting enough exercise.   My plan to go to the gym every day has been less than stellar.    So when I got home got some more water and went to the bathroom and took off for a walk. The walk was about an hour.   I ran into a classmate of min...

I had a great sleep last night.   I think I missed most of my Friday night radio program.   The alarms I set on the Boise still are not working but I really didn’t need one especially with the cats. They have been fed and I have had my coffee and I have been chatting with AB on the text.   She is up early too for some reason.   She noticed I was quiet last week.   I explained that I saw they were really working hard and didn’t want to get them distracted.   I told her I kept busy during the week. I managed to get online and found out a teacher from HS passed away yesterday.   The Obit isn’t online yet so I am not sure where she is-was from.   I sent a text to Dave because I think he had her for English during our HS careers.   I did my early morning check in with Jim.   I probably will hear from him later this morning.   I am wondering how he did at the gym yesterday.   I know he took a walk around the park across the str...

i can’t believe its Friday again.   This entire week flew by and I don’t know if I got a lot done or not. I remember sometihng Mom told me many years ago that I can’t just exist in the world I have to be doing something.   I guess that’s why every other day I get to feeling guilty that all I did is sit and didn’t do much. My plan to go to sleep early last night never saw the light of night.   I did try but I wanted to finish ysterday’s babble of an entry. A part of me focused on committing to the gym.   That met with mixed results.   I knew I would fall back into the old ways.   Skip classes, eat things I wasn’t really supposed and make up for it some other way.   I did get some walking in as well. i set the alarm for 4 this time so I would be getting up in time to feed the cats and leave for the 6 am class. I slept through the alarms but managed to get up and go and even the cats got fed. I am thinking i did a lot of writing WHETHER IT was i...

I woke up around 4 this morning and I finished writing out this week’s ThankfulThursday post.     Then I had an idea to work on the budget.   As I tried to reclaim my information for Mint.com I had to recreate a new password.   I had forgotten what I used for the Turbo tax.   I thought I had an understanding but I will try again later.   I got up and checked on sky and he was just sitting in the closet.   He came running out and let me pick him up and hold him.   Then we went back to my room and he stayed with me for a while.   He curled up a few times then he sat down and watched me get on the computer.   Then he ran off and then came back.   I got up at 5:30 and we did our routine.   I managed to fall back to sleep on the couch even with coffee.   The kitties were attentive and that fills my heart.   For as long as I have been their mama there are days I feel I am not always a good mama.   When they s...

1.             I am thankful for family warts and all.    I am still excited to share the news of the news of a new baby in the family in December. 2.             I am thankful for my Kitties.   They haven’t had any hairballs of lately. 3.             I am thankful for my job.   I am still looking forward to going back next month.   The Target Date for my area seems to still be the week of July 10th 4.             I am thankful for the medical profession that keeps me on the road to good/better health.   The Gym opened yesterday and I spent about an hour and half there.   I have my infusion in July.    I have een doing a little more walking then previously.   So Happy to have returned to the gym.   There are t...

It is another day of hot temperatures.   It is currently 83.   It will get no hotter than 86.   It got in to the 90’s Monday and mid 80’s yesterday.   It only rained for a brief time early this morning.   It looked like it was going to rain more but it didn’t and the sun came out.   I am glad because if it didn’t the meetup this afternoon would be cancelled or postponed.   I called JOC this morning to offer we drive up together to the meetup.   We agreed and I will be picking her up at 5 and from there go to Branford.   Her foot was a little better but wasn’t really anxious to push it.   She was a little concerned about the drive up there but then she thought she was being overly paranoid about the whole situation.   This time last week I was working on budgets and that’s an ongoing thing.   I was also on a search for a misplaced CC and had to order a new one.   Well the new one came and any guesses what I found yester...

Good news checked the informed delivery and it looks like I am getting the new CC today.   What a relief.   Too bad the two amazon deliveries (the wipes and TP) are nowhere to be seen.   I have placed two refund requests.   I had to contact the seller for the wipes because amazon isn’t going to refund it.   The TP refund will be honored.    I plan on writing to the corporate headquarters and recommend they reevaluate their third party venders.   I went to AT&T store today and the guy was absolutely useless.   He said basically that I should ignore it because AT&T would have called or something.     I will try again because I don’t like the answer.   I went to Walmart and returned the Fitbit and it will be a few days before it posts back into my account.   When I got back to the car I downloaded one pedometer and I didn’t like the way it was tracking my steps and shared the story with Alex when I saw him fo...

Yesterday I had to turn up the fan downstairs to circulate the air and I opened the front door.   Felt better but the temperature continued to climb.  At one point it was 83.  I won’t be putting the AC on in the bedroom. I have another window fan in the window by the driveway and have a nice breeze that make it cold at times. I did some laundry that I need to get going and made some lunch and “small snacks”.  Then I decided to update some of the finance folders on the computer.    I got a call from JOC early in the day and made plans to walk at 4.  I let her know that I was appreciative of the things she said.  She said we would talk more on the walk.  I missed her house so I had to turn around.  I got a call from an organization looking for money.  I still managed to get there right at 4. The walk was great and there was a wonderful breeze despite the temperatures.  We made plans to walk in the morning.  After the wa...

Well it’s early Monday.   I believe we are in a heatwave. It’s already 74 degrees and its only 9 am.   It is expected to get into the mid-80s.   Wait a second I see by the weather forecast we might get rain by the end of the week.   It would be nice I heard its been awhile since we got rain.   It seems like it by looking at my lawn.   I am not big on watering the lawn.   I like when Mother Nature does it.   I realize I may not have a choice. I went walking late yesterday afternoon with JOC and it was a good walk.   The conversations were a bit frustrating.   I found myself critical of a lot of things and she didn’t seem to mind but she has a favorite phrase that I can’t seem to recall but one thing that sticks out is “for the grace of God goes me”.   Something my sister says to me quite often for herself.   Anyway, I don’t want to jeopardize that relationship so I need to temper my views in some way.   Anyway, I am not s...

Yesterday was my nephew Rob’s Birthday.   I don’t remember how old any of my nieces and nephews is really.   I am guessing mid 30’s.    Sadly I don’t get to see him much.   I haven’t talked with him in quite some time.   I am guessing he sees his mother frequently.   I am not sure if there are issues with his siblings.   Then again this is my family there are always issues going on.   Anyway a memory popped up on FB and I shared it and said the same message.   OF course he isn’t on FB. Yesterday was the first exercise class and they had it outside.   It was a little hard but my hope is to get better over time.   it was partners and I had the lady who is always supportive.   I was right I do look like a whale in the Picture that Mike posted on FB .   It may take you to his whole time line you may have t scroll down.   Alex was the instructor but Mike was setting up for his own clients.    I came home a...
