Walk between the worlds...mm

I'm in my living room right now, listening to a European musician I've not heard before.   I am not at the weekly meetup. Gillion canceled it because I was unwell and the regulars were busy, but with brunch on Saturday, I'm not disappointed.

I fed Sky and then ate dinner.    After relaxing until 6, I cleaned the kitchen floor.  My Next project will be the bathroom and then fold clothes.    Then hopefully work on budget.  I was doing a little bit of that while eating but it was a little stressful.

Work went well despite a few people aggravating Bob about the refunds and I sent him a reply that I was working and giving myself a deadline of 12:30 to finish but while I was anxious Patty said not to worry about it you can only do so much,  Had a nice visit with Kari who came in to train someone.

I do admit I started getting a little headache just before lunch, but it is okay now.  It's not the first this week.   I just took Tylenol.  I really need to take other meds too.

The floors have been completed.   The bathroom is drying and then I will put things back in the place.  I like it when it doesn’t take me that long to do.  It’s a small bathroom so It won’t take long.  I need to clean the sink again and the toilet.

Everything else I was planning can wait.  I am getting tired now.

I see we got an email or two regarding the ladies Guild dinner.  In April and its $55 and had a nice menu.  I asked Liz if she would be interested in going and she said with it being at night, I would be pushing her in her wheelchair and the price is steep.  I'll get the tickets and dues at the next board meeting.

Now I am going to go to bed.  I am tired

Today, after discussing Laura's planned contributions for Saturday's brunch, I contacted both Shoprite and Big Y to inquire about the availability of shamrock muffins. While neither store offers shamrock muffins, Big Y does provide pistachio muffins. Accordingly, I have placed an order for pistachio muffins for the event.   When I checked with Laura about a dozen, she pointed out there would be other food.

I saw in my email that I need to renew my library card within the next month.   I will do that next week.  I haven’t been to the library in months and that’s usually to print something.  Maybe it is a kick in the pants to make changes.

I need to clean out my email box.  Put them in particular folders on the hard drive.  I will probably do it before I go to sleep.

Earlier today, I disposed of the garbage and recycling; the weather conditions were cold.    It is currently 35 degrees. It's expected to reach 33 degrees.   I haven't seen anything about snow. 

Since there's no other news, I'll finish watching NCIS.   In the original series it looks like McGee is a father from an old girlfriend.  In NCIS Origins we see early Dwayne Pride.

Happy St Patrick’s Day.  May you many blessings and Luck of the Irish on ya.  The parade took place last Saturday, with strong winds.  And cloudy.  Many restaurants will serve Irish dishes throughout the day.

It is also my maternal Grandmothers 139^th birthday.  I have no love loss for her, but some of cousins do even though she has treated all of us like crap.  Late in life, she developed dementia and Alzheimer’s, which worsened her condition.   I used to think all the cousins loved her, but later they joked about how mean she was.   They also joke about things that she did over the years so maybe they respect her and overlook her faults. 

Don from next door came over at 1, checked the window, and suggested removing it when it's warmer.   He asked what happened and as I was explaining it to him I got the feeling he was thinking I was an asshole.  He really can be a jackass-no wonder some of the residents don’t like him.  He cleaned the very dirty filter.   When he saw it he made a comment which annoyed me.  I told him that I bought four for the next year

Now that’s all taken care of I can finish the laundry for now

I got up at my normal time and fed the sky.  I went back to bed for a while.  I got up, made coffee, watched TV, and prepared for work.   I departed at an appropriate time; however, the weather conditions were dull and uninviting.   The weather conditions were characterized by significant fog.

I spent the day opening mail and sorting the mail.  I didn't finish Friday's tasks, but I handled the incoming mail; I got distracted.   The volume of printing required over the three days was substantial.   I also took care of the claims and they were done early

I did go to Nicas for Lunch, had seafood salad no bread and No dessert.  I visited the lunch room, met some care center staff, and found Gina impressive.   She is doing well as the newest member of the committee.

I was glad to be going home because I was hoping to do the floors.  It didn’t happen but I did ask Don Next door to put in the new filter and told him about the window.  He said he would take it to someone who would replace it.  If I had someone come to the house It would be expensive

I saw liz and chatted a bit and got her mail.  She offered to have dinner (Ribs) but I was looking forward ti the spaghetti. 

I spent the night watching tv until nine and went to bed

Well Residents Near or in Moodus Connecticut the eastern part of the state had not one but two earthquakes this morning.  A friend who lives in West Haven said she didn’t feel it.  No, it's an hour and a half away.   Only a major seismic event will affect everyone.  I asked Laura today if she could feel it she said no.  She told me that it was up on route 9 and Middletown.  Many of my colleagues and some doctors live in that area.   

There was also one in Westchester last week.   Fairfield County residents noticed it, but New Haven did not.   They said five days ago which brings it to Thursday.  I also have friends and family in that area.   Everyone in the area has family or friends nearby.

Today, I attended the bingo activity, with participation from six to eight residents.   The same three people won today.  A resident leaning forward in a wheelchair made me uneasy.   We continued to play until 3 and cleaned up and headed home.

I was sorely tempted to get a pie in honor of PI Day but just came home and ate some of the ice cream sandwiches.  I have two left and will eat them soon.  I also had an early dinner.

I have been watching TV and managed to some cleaning…

I heard from Mama tonight.  She sent me a picture of her and her granddaughter sitting together.  She wrote something that made me call her and that’s how we spent catching up.  She shared how the visit with Miriam and Brett and the baby.   We talked about family, and health, activities and I mentioned seeing Eva.

So after all that I am heading to bed.

Totally forgot today was PI Day.  Most focus on mathematical information, while some relate to food like pizzas and desserts. I've read that "pizzas" often refers to pies rather than actual pizza.   

I took a few breaks during the cleaning to have lunch and I got tired. I finished Vacuuming by 1:30 and decided to do the bathroom and kitchen tomorrow before I go to bingo.  

The sun seems to be out in full force right now.  Throughout the morning it was cloudy.  Unless it snows or rains.

I shopped for filters and groceries late in the day.   The filters came to $40.  I have obtained four, so I will need to wait another year before acquiring new ones.   I spent over $80 on groceries at Walmart.   Everything I needed plus a few things I wanted.    I was going to get the eggs but like Aldis I was not impressed. 

While there, I met a woman from our women's club, and we quickly caught up on each other's lives and friends.   It was great.  I need to tell Telka and Roberta before bed.

I had dinner, watched TV, drank tea, and did the dishes.   Now I am going to go to bed
