It is depressing to hear the news that health officials are expecting a corona virus spike because so many people chose to ignore the holiday guidelines. The latest numbers will be released for the state later today. The mayor of East Haven has the virus and is now working from home. It is 11 miles north east of here.

As I mentioned yesterday my ( Read more... )

Wednesday was the beginning of the Holiday week for me. Liz and I began some of the phone calls that we needed to get done prior to the move were started that mid-morning. We worked on it for a couple of hours. It was frustrating and aggravating. One of the issues was dealing with the UI. We couldn’t discuss closing the current account on the house ( Read more... )

I am sitting here at the desk. I have been working on yesterday’s mail while catching up with VanessaT who just returned from quarantine. DG is still on quarantine. There aren’t that many people here this week anyway. Those who were here only worked one day and took the rest of the time off.  Admins gave us an extra recess day for this holiday and ( Read more... )

The Covid Test was literally 5 minutes yesterday and allowed me to have an afternoon off. I actually left the office around 1 and on the way home called my sister to see if it was okay to eat some lunch (I was entertaining the thought of going home first) I decided to stop at McDonald’s at the rest stop in Milford. I drove to the testing site and ( Read more... )

I did my normal routine this morning in preparation of going back to work. I did the assessment, sent the emails, and did the morning texts.

I am glad I listened to Gil Simmons the weatherman at Channel 8 this morning saying we need to dress warm. I had to defrost the car for ten minutes. It didn't take long but that will probably be the norm for ( Read more... )

It is now after 5 pm and no email from Admins. I did get another email from LFriello regarding the situation and she said she called our union steward and spoke to her about the situation. We were sharing our precautions. She also reassured me that Admins must already know because NW had to tell her and her supervisor. I also called the union ( Read more... )

Well I didn’t get too far with the quotes yesterday. I am not surprised. I looked online at one and tried to call them but 1) this particular place out of East Haven is closed weekends. 2) They tell you to give some details of what you need but don’t give you a quote until you call. Well I am not sure what to say yet. I am also guessing most of the ( Read more... )

My plans for this weekend have changed again. First off Liz texted me and told me that sometime next week when the buyers sign for the house I will be signing for the condo. Liz seems to think I will be moving right then. I am resisting that a lot at the moment. So I will be rushing to clear out the closet and start some of the pre-move activities ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween everyone! It is 31 degrees sunny and there is a freeze warning until 10 am this morning. I can tell you I have the heat up early.

So Halloween will be slightly different this year for many. The differences will include social distancing, the smaller gatherings and the extra ppes. I know that around here and I know I mentioned this ( Read more... )

While I was catching up with my blogging and watching TV last night there was a discussion with the amigos. It started with our dinner next week. Ann seems to think we should cancel it because the corvid 19 spike is up 6.1 percent. Truthfully I don’t know what that means. This is the data tracker and maybe you guys will understand it better than I ( Read more... )
