I need to get over
I really need to get over the fact that it's been cold first thing in the morning. It's Mid to late October for goodness sake. The days of hot weather first thing in the morning are gone until next spring or summer. I probably will be complaining about that when it happens too. Anyway, by the time I left the office it was in the 60’s & 70’s. I quickly took off the fleece jacket I have been wearing of late. I was quite surprised to find it warmer this morning.
I am looking forward to the arrival of those sunglasses that are worn over regular glasses. I ordered them Tuesday night after complaining for the umpteenth time that I needed these glasses. It's supposed to be here today. Let’s hope it wasn’t a waste of money.
Earlier this week I was feeling like a pin cushion and that lasted until yesterday afternoon. Arms were sore but by the time I got home last night they were slightly better but in danger of hurting again because I had Popeye’s chicken sandwich. I still do have bruises where they tried to get a vein.
I managed to do the phone banking longer than the week before and that was good but by 7 I was getting tired and I wanted to feed the cats. I watched TV until about 8 and then went to bed early. There is one more before the election.
There are two lit drop activities tomorrow but the more I think about it the more I just don’t want to do it. First I need to clean the house, clean out the car-again. I feel like I put off stuff all week.
I woke up in good spirits and did our normal routine. How can I not with the dynamic duo serenading me? I also managed to do more laundry but did nothing with the kitchen (dishes in the sink and clean dishes in the dishwasher). That will be later today. I hope so.
When I saw Liz earlier this week she was encouraging me to ask Jim if we are doing anything for Thanksgiving. She has made it very clear that she isn’t doing the family reunion gig and when I did my first research of it for restaurants I just can’t afford it (don’t think Big Brother would be helping to pay for it either). When she said that I don’t think she wants me with her family either but that was first reaction...still not sure really.
Happy to report that the contract has been ratified. The whole event was good. Caught up with people that were in my building at one time. However, what I didn’t like is the fact that people were leaving before the vote!!!! Hello? The vote was taken around 6:30 and there were a large number of nays. I guess this was to be expected. I know I should expect people not to like it but it has been explained in the powerpoint presentations throughout the campus just how important and how hard it was to get some of these items. I have been told that the turnout was low but it was enough to vote on the contract. The contract will be signed on November 1.
I received my 30 year plaque in the mail the other day. I wasn’t expecting it actually but I got it now I have to choose the gift from their online catalog.
Well I have a few more hours before I go home...
