KateP's musings

  I was thrilled to finally see a coyote and deer over the weekend, a welcome change from the usual small wildlife. However, I am increasingly frustrated with Donj, my neighbor. Despite paying for a window repair not yet completed, the gutters he supposedly said were cleaned still overflow like a waterfall, washing away the mulch. His intrusive personal questions have only added to my irritation. Regarding neighborly etiquette, I am concerned about kids riding bikes directly onto private driveways and front door areas. I would like to address this at the next board meeting, as I find it intrusive. Additionally, I find it quite "ballsy" that a neighbor parked in Liz’s driveway without asking for permission first.  That was during Sis’s stay at the nursing home. I've been reviewing my bills and emails. I have a large electric bill due soon and an overdue car emissions test. While my hot water tank, dishwasher, and laundry appliances are currently working fine, I need to sta...

  Once again this week  I have had some gastric issues.  Most recently today.   I am going to go through notes from Dr Sonia and find her suggestions gastro dr to replace the one who left.  I hope to get into Yale AND USE EPIc.  Hartford  health care has a different site.  We will see what happens. I finally  contacted the urologist  who was on vacation until Friday.   I explained what was going on and now I have an appointment at 3:15 Tuesday.  They haven't  canceled the one in October but maybe the will  next week  I tried to change my cardiologist  appointment on September 2.  It's late in the day. I was hoping to move it earlier that day but  l was unable to get it changed. I didn't get to meet with Debra. I believed she wouldn't  be available and I went to the meet up.  Subsequently she called and  she was available.  So we agreed to  meet in ten days to two weeks....

  Early Tuesday morning Gillion asked us where we wanted to meet this week and probably and now definitely meet today since Wednesday was looking like it wasn’t happening.  I could help but think we might be changing the mid week thing to a day more feasible.   We met that night at the panera (4 of us) place and we discussed moving it to a different day,  ultimately Wednesday remains the same but the location will be the Panera.  Gillion said she will fix it when she has time.   PJ chimed in and she loves Panera but she suggested moving the time to 6.  She said whe she started it was at 6.  I vaguely remember it being that but we moved it earlier because it would end up being late when we get out.  I personally like it when it's earlier because depending on the week I get home earlier. I have already looked at the calendar and the 19th I have an appointment so I won’t be going then. I do remember that I mentioned that summer is hard...

  Every Monday I expect my day to be busy. Most of the time it takes all morning to prune the three days of health logic and print them out. Sometimes at least one is high volume and the others  are normal.  Sometimes, like today, the website gives me a hard time with my password and ends up having to reset.  Which was annoying to me.   I also need to do the claim forms too.  Those were not so bad today.   I probably won't get to scanning until late afternoon.   Before leaving I was able to get a batch of refunds scanned.   I will do the rest tomorrow  I am. Also expecting  ga/gargoyle to show me what she does  with the mail that  goes to the hospital.  She is going  on vacation soon. It went well Wednesday the union is having a flash rally at the school of management during former president Salavoy's speech. I was talking to Gina Friday  about  Thursday's committee meeting.   She told me that...

  Good morning, it's really  early.  I was awake early again. I stayed in bed until 530. I fed sky and now watching TV and having coffee.  I have a few things to do before the party this afternoon but I am feeling a bit anxious about leaving things to the last minute. I am not sure if I should wear jeans and a blouse or a dress.  Well I heard from Liz this morning.  I had not heard from her after a text I sent her about picking up her mail and noticing , which had been there.  I even centered a text , good night , but she didn't answer. So I got a little paranoid, and was afraid I p***** her off. Anyway , it sounds like she's got a full day. She's getting visits from Adam, my nephew and his family. It's after 4 and I have been home since after 2.  I am glad I ate something before the party.   It was all desserts and punch.  It was lovely. I got a chance to catch up with a few people.  I have been snacking and watching TV. Texted Liz...

  Hi It is 630 in the morning and I am on my second  cup of coffee. I have been awake since 4.  Sky started crying for his breakfast an hour later. I worked on my laundry and dishes slowly.  It will  be done by noon.    My plans for today are to go grocery shopping and to go to the farmers market.   But I really don't want to touch my checking right now.  I transferred the property tax amount  to that account.  I don't feel comfortable  writing that either. Probably pop in on Liz and see how she is.  She seemed tired when I talked with her on the phone yesterday.  She had a doctor's appointment in orange so the traveling part was taking a lot of energy. Around nine I had finished breakfast and sent texts. At the moment watching Lord of the rings. Well it's 9: 30 at night and I am watching TV.  The rest of the day was not productive by any stretch.   Did a few chores.  Went to the store then ca...

  Greetings, one and all I just wanted to check in.    It’s been several weeks since I last wrote. Since my last check in.’ My Sister came home on Tuesday this week and is already back in Normality or what passes for that.   I met one of her aids on Wednesday and she is lovely.   Liz seems pleased with this.   As of right now the aids are 24-7.   I will meet the weekend girl soon. While she was at the nursing home, she had the first of two-cataract surgery.   I really don’t know how she is feeling She told me I seem to remember her being overwhelmed. Next month her son Chris and his family are moving down to Florida.   They will be staying with friends.   It’s good because school starts early down there.   I still don’t know where they are going. The rest of the family seems to be doing well.   Nephew Nelson 2 is in a fundraiser, and I contributed to Kellsey’s Hope.   It’s a foundation that provides hope for famili...
