Love getting Early Morning Phone calls
I got a call on my cell this morning at quarter of 8 asking for someone and I heard voices in the background and said to them have the wrong number and don’t call me again. I had the feeling it was a crank call or something. It’s not the best way to start the day.
Late yesterday afternoon someone called me asking for a Doctor’s office but they were hesitating with ‘um’ and ‘uh’ that I told them if they were going to continue with the ums and uhs I was hanging up. When they did ask the question I said no its not and hung up.
It’s a little foggy right now but that’s supposed to change as the day progresses. We may get some rain but it’s supposed to get into the 80s today. That should be nice but I will be certain to open more windows to let the air in.
A classmate posted on FB that she lost her father yesterday afternoon. I sent a card to her this morning. She lost her mom a while back. I know how she must be feeling right now. It’s going to be tough the next few days.
I was going to wait until noon to put the pot roast on but decided to get it going. The pot roast recipe I got from Martha Stewart it can be done in 6 hours on high or 10 hours on low. So it might be done by 9. In the mean time I will do something with the shrimp and the chicken. I am Just not sure what.
Shortly after that I made two large beef patties and broiled them. They were pretty big and one would have been sufficient.
The afternoon brought many interesting things. I was getting ready to go out and noticed something really ugly that after talking with Liz determined it was cicada. At first I thought it was a hive of some sort. I just don’t know how it got inside the window.
I went to the store before going to see Liz and visit with her. I got flowers, and a card, and some more coffee pods as I knew the 13 left would not last me until Friday. I also got more coffee creamer. I should have picked up my prescription but forgot to. I will have to do it tomorrow.
My visit with Liz was okay if it weren’t for the fact that I am so angry. To her she said I was using the f word too much or I didn’t like the fact that my employer is going to make me decide to either retire or temporary change jobs so that I can work. Well I am too old to change jobs at this point in life and I want my regular job. We also discussed family (the fact that a cousin is fighting with my niece about the bigotry that blacks and Asians are dealing with. My sister is not buying it as my niece comes from a white family. My sister also thinks our niece is drama queen.
Anyway a few hours later she sent me a picture of the flowers and thanked me again for them. I couldn’t very well let this weekend pass without celebrating a milestone.
It was sometime after 4 when I got back to the house. The titans were anxious to have some dinner (and my favorite phrase these days is) “its too early. I checked the pot roast and even tried a piece. I tried the new half café coffee (and suspect I won’t be sleeping anytime soon) and eventually went on the computer and watched Season 1 episodes of Bonanza.
There were a variety of movies on that I have seen a billion times and still get a kick out of them. I kept tuning the TV off because the advertisements were annoying me
Around 8:30 I decided to go for a walk. The predicted storm ended up fizzling or moving out to other areas. I ran into neighbors Shannon and Ben while they were walking their baby Mischa. We were talking about the Milford FB page and how explosive it got the last few days because the admin didn’t want to promote the protests and some people attacked the admin. We talked a few more minutes so that they could finish their walk and let Mischa do her job.
I got home after 9 and got the kitchen cleaned up from cooking. Had a snack and now will be going to bed.
