KateP's musings

  I was going to say it's been busy.   It's just another Monday at work.    I arrived at approximately 7:30 and engaged in a discussion with KB and BL (Administrators) before commencing work.    The health logic sorting commenced at 11:30 following the completion of document printing.        I got them all sorted and ready to be scanned by 1. I spent the afternoon scanning but grew tired.   After work, I was glad to come home, relax, and cook since I had no other plans.    Sky emerged from the closet when I fed him.   Now that I think I will go to bed early.    

  Morning!   It is Father’s Day.   To all who are fathers, on every level have a wonderful day.   My father passed away 36 years ago.    My God Father was my brother B and he has been gone 13 years now.   I don’t make cemetery visits on holidays like today.   They occasionally come to mind. I have been awake this morning since five.   Sky successfully got me up at 5:30 to feed him.   I have been watching NCIS, a little of The Virginian and Wagon train.   I might go back to sleep. Martha sent a message to the guild last night about D’s husband.   No one has responded but that’s to be expected.    I will go to the wake, but I won’t be able to go to the funeral.   I need to work. The weather is overcast, with a temperature of 60°F.      It is supposed to get up to 68 degrees. It may not appear warm, but it likely will be. I have finished my text chats and sorted through some papers.  ...

  Flag Day is observed on June 14th in the United States to honor the adoption of the national flag by resolution of the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777.   The Flag Resolution declared that the flag of the thirteen United States would have thirteen alternating red and white stripes, and thirteen white stars in a blue field, symbolizing a new constellation. The holiday was proposed in 1861 to garner support for the Union during the American Civil War.   In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day.   National Flag Day was officially established by an Act of Congress on August 3, 1949.   Pennsylvania was the first state to celebrate Flag Day as a holiday on June 14, 1937. Flag Day isn't a federal holiday, but the president can proclaim its observance through federal law.   The United States Army also commemorates its founding on this date. The flag of the United States symbolizes courage, unity, and the nation's commitme...

    Last week was the University’s Spirit Week and Employee Appreciation Day.   What is Spirit Week? Yale's Staff Spirit Week is a week-long celebration recognizing and thanking the university's staff for their dedication and contributions. It featur/aes various events, including Staff Appreciation Day, campus games, and activities aimed at boosting morale and community spirit. The week typically includes a main event, like Staff Appreciation Day on Old Campus, with food, music, and other fun activities.  Some of us went around Noon time.   Some of us are walking (not me) and others are taking the shuttle over.   This year’s Spirit Week was no exception, with an impressive turnout and a lively atmosphere that made it a memorable event for everyone involved. The blend of camaraderie and celebration was palpable as colleagues gathered to enjoy the festivities and reconnect in person. The menu was excellent.   It's catered by Bear...

I was expecting it to be busy today and I was right.   I completed the claim forms, scanned them to Lynda, and mailed them before pickup.   During that time, I also downloaded today's Health Logic.   I placed it with the other two and proceeded to organize the items. Subsequently, I scanned Sunday’s Health Logic document and continued with the tasks. I also worked on the stuff that PBC gave me Thursday.   I am hoping to have it all done by the time she arrives on Thursday.   my session with Debra Tonight was cancelled.    Her daughter was ill, and she needed to collect her.     It has been a couple of weeks since our last meeting.   She was on vacation.      I successfully forwarded the prior entries to her.   I do want to tell her about a humorous activity.   I found out during the meeting tonight that the session with Debra next week is going to be moved as the Installation starts at 5:30 (Mass) and then th...

  Despite getting up early enough to get a few things (very few) accomplished today was another regular Monday.   Between people driving like morons and my work taking almost all day to get done.   Today, Gargoyle/Guardian Angel was upset with me when I checked if a piece of mail had arrived for someone who was expecting it.   She even mentioned that I shouldn’t be answering emails from my cell phone when I am home sick.   I nearly told her to... imagine the rest.   Our interaction for the rest of the day was limited. Although the claim forms were manageable, the health logic proved to be quite complex.   Typically, it originates from the weekend.   Today's printout was quite large.   I scanned Saturday's documents and some refund requests.   The weather at work was beautiful.   It started in the 60 degrees and went up to 70 by the time I left the office.    Evidently, the situation was similar here at home.   I...

  It seems like another lazy Sunday.   I was prepared to visit the laundromat to clean the blanket. Thus far, I have managed to feed Sky and have coffee. I intended to sit outside on the patio, but it was too chilly when I went out.   I returned indoors.   The weather reports indicate it is in the 50s.   The sun is shining. The AC temperature should be consistent because it's also chilly inside. I considered going grocery shopping; however, I currently do not require any items.   I'll go after the eye appointment on Friday. I am anxious about Friday’s appointment.   My eyes have been more blurry than usual.   Is it diabetes, lupus, or simply old age?   I didn’t go sooner because I knew the appointment was coming up and so I just adjusted my reading methods. I did the laundry, folded it, and made the bed.    In addition to having lunch, I watched Season 18 of NCIS on ION TV. I accomplished several more tasks before retiring f...

  For the past two weeks the weather has not been the best. The temperatures have primarily remained in the 70s, though the weather conditions have been predominantly cloudy and rainy.      Not much sun.   The weather report for tonight is calling for thunderstorms in about 15 minutes.   I guess it would be a nice way to sleep.   The windows haven’t been opened in quite a while.   It doesn’t look like the weekend will be much better. This will provide an opportunity to complete housework.   I got my new eureka vacuum cleaner this past Thursday and I need to put it together.   I may ask Don to help me if I have problems. I got up and did our morning routine and it felt good to be able to go back to sleep for a little while.   An animal with four legs and whiskers was displacing me from my bed.    I had coffee and yogurt.   I am going to have to put the yogurt on my grocery list Well guess what?   Around 9:30...
