KateP's musings

This morning was sunny and chilly.  There was no snow when I got up either.  I knew there wouldn’t be.  There won’t be any snow this weekend.  I am kind of glad because I had errands to run and the gift delivery. I Found out my hairstylist is going to be a Mommy in May!  She was going to tell me the last time but she wasn’t showing then as she was today.  I am so happy for her.  The next time I see her she really will be pregnant.  That’s going to be in late January. AFter the hair appointment I stopped at Adams and picked up a new mop.  While I was there I ran into Pam.  We talked for a short time.  She still has the cold I mentioned a few days ago.  Apparently it goes back and forth between them.  I came home and relaxed for a few minutes and then vacuumed the kitchen and Bathroom.  I then washed the bathroom floor.  I had to get on my knees and that hurt and frustrated me.  I also was having probl...

December 8, 2013 Dear Friends:     It has been a long day and the pups spent a big chunk of it alone today so I have to make it quick.       We started waking up around 5 but stayed in bed until 7 or 8.  I showered dressed and got the pups out for their morning walk.  It wasn’t bad out then but it looked like it would be cold and cloudy and start snowing soon..  While I was getting ready I had the Law & Order marathon (mothership) on and left around 9.  I was starting another headache but managed to get something in my stomach.     When I got to the nursing home I saw BoBM.  He was the Staff member on duty.  We talked about the holidays, the impending weather, and today’s activities.  We eventually got ready for bingo and ended up with a really full house.  Twenty one players and I think a few of them were being difficult but I think it was my headache that was making me annoyed more. ...

September 21, 2013 Dear Friends: Wow had a great sleep from 10:30 on last night.  I got up only a few times and Preston did sleep in the bed right next to me.  As daylight approached I could hear Packy (the other dog) walk around and was a little nervous he left packages.  Happily I didn’t see them when I got up to check emails. This morning was a fairly busy morning.  I had to get the dogs up and walked before I left to feed Junior and head back to the house to get my phone and then head back to town to help sell the bracelets until 12:30.  The rest of the day was going to be quiet.   I had gotten an email from Dr. T reminding me about the bracelet selling activity last night.  She wanted make sure she wasn’t the only one doing it.  I don’t blame her.  She has a lot to do.  She is a teacher in Waterbury and has all classes to prepare for, papers to grade, etc.  We don’t have anything more this month.  We do have stuff...

I got a message sometime today from My cousin Jeremy through twitter saying someone posted a nasty blog about me.  I signed out to twitter saw the message and tried to access the link but was knocked out of twitter and had to confirm the log on.  So I went to the facebook and sent a message to Jeremy asking if he sent me one through twitter.  I don’t feel comfortable clicking on the link if screws this up.  This being the computer.  I tried doing a search but couldn’t find anything under any of my usernames to the sites.   I heard from Jeremy and he says yes he has one but doesn’t use it.  So I told him it might have been hacked.  A few seconds later he sent me another one saying it was hacked.  I am really glad that i checked it out. I got to the nursing home after 9:30.  I kept procrastinating this morning from getting up and doing some chores, to getting ready for bingo.  Somehow I managed to start bingo on ti...

As I was sitting at work yesterday working on  the mail my thoughts were drifting to Macungie where my nephew was sitting through his graduation ceremonies.  I wondered if they were indoors because of the rain.  It was pretty likely that was the case there are venues that big for it.  I was having flashbacks to the day I met him.  He was just two when Jim and Claudia brought him home and he had a limp for a while.  He was shy at first but by the fourth time I saw him I think we grew close.  Over the years I watched him grow he was a smart young man.  Any time they came for a visit he always helped Mom make breakfast.  As he got older he didn’t do it as much.   As he got older and his parents divorced he spent a lot of time with his father.  He also had his friends and his sports but he made sure he spent time with Jim.  That might change now that he will be attending Blair Academy in the fall.  I spoke t...

I can’t believe it is Saturday night.  Today went by awfully quick.  It all started around 6 when I got out of bed and did some surfing on the net.  I spent the morning doing laundry and then around noon time I got ready for the fashion show. We met a little after 1 at Carriage Green Assisted Living complex .  Dr. T was already in her first costume and she looked great.  Eventually the rest of the girls arrived and we set up.  The administrator helped set up the chairs while we got instructions and made some changes to the script.  My sole job was to make sure the girls were ready and to cue the MC.  We started at 2 pm and we were finished by 2:30.  Afterwards we had refreshments including ice cream...woohoo.  Overall we had a huge success and we probably will be doing more things for this place.  This might mean we will no longer be doing activities for WRHH.   Sadly some of the girls chose not to participat...

As promised the work on the phase 2 of the sewer project has begun.   Several trucks and men were outside at 7:30 this morning preparing to start working.   I saw huge pipes being offloaded from a dump truck where the pump station is being built.   I am not sure what else happened.   When I came home it was all cleaned up for the day.   I noticed a portable toilet outside (the spell check and grammar check isn’t cooperating) when I got home. I had a great day at work.   I was busy from the time I got there until I left after 6 tonight.   I expect the same all week.   Actually I am expecting the volume to be a little heavier tomorrow than normal.    I hope to do OT for most of the week.   I won’t be able to Thursday or Friday.   I am hoping for the weekend though.   I have to check my weekend plans before I commit.   I called the Dermatologist today and asked them to renew my metro gel prescription.  ...
