Jason's Birthday

 

Yesterday was my nephew Jason’s 16^th birthday.  He is such a great kid.  He is Chris’s First Born and is the spitting image of Chris.  Sadly his parents divorced many years ago but he still has a lot of love from Chris and Jen. He is a great big brother to his sisters.   I am told he has his driver’s permit and recently got a job at chic-a-Filet.  I think he is a junior in HS.  I am not a good Aunt though didn’t get a card for him.  I thought he would be on FB but he isn’t.

Liz told me it was my favorite Lawyer’s (not) birthday as well.  My response was “I did not know that”.  I looked on his FB and he turned 81 yesterday. It also reminded me that I still have to write that summary for Jim regarding the voice mail message he (he who will not be named) left me back in August.  I have been checking dates and most of what he said in that voice mail is in my memory.

Work was very busy.  Shadow was off for her long weekend and I believe next week will be the last one for now.  I worked on the EOB scanning for the first couple of hours and then when the mail arrived I worked on it.  I have a feeling I may have messed up on the piles of appeals but I left her an email to review everything on Monday.    I was able to work on some of the Refund scanning and prepping the next big date from 2016. 

I have learned that the University Men’s Hockey team (all 18 of them) tested positive for corvid 19 viruses. As a result of this the University raised the Alert Status to Yellow this past week.  As I told a few people and as it was explained to me they were not the instigators but that it could have been anyone in the community that uses the facilities.  The facilities (Payne Whitney and the Hockey Rink) are all closed until Monday.  One of the art galleries’ closed up as well.  There were messages from the top Admins of YM and Med School.

After Work I had dinner with the three Amigos.  We all met at Texas Roadhouse at 5:30.   LL and I had to wait outside until Mary and Ann arrived.  Luckily there was a tent up and we didn’t get completely rained on.  We were seated and we talked and ordered our meals.  LL got a salad and some shrimp dish, and Mary got a cheeseburger, and I got the pulled pork sandwich with fries, and mashed potatoes, Ann got a steak and vegetables.  We didn’t get dessert but I didn’t lose out completely.  We talked about the condo, and house status and they nearly pissed me off when I told them I had to put the cats in the crate and why.  This is why I don’t always like telling them anything.  We talked about animals and life in general.  We were there until 7 and made plans to get together in November and December.

When I left there it was still raining.  I headed to Walmart to pick up more coffee pods and more oxyclean (it fell to the floor at the beginning of the week) and the coffee pods were a variety pack of 56 pods.  They have French Vanilla, Columbian, Breakfast Blend, Dark Roast, and Hot chocolate. Then I went to Aldi’s and got groceries.  I got most of what was on the list and a few things that were not but happily I didn’t spend as much as I did last week. Then again between the two places it did. 

The rest of Friday night the cats and I hung out until bed time:

 

 

 

Earlier in the week I ordered my appointment book for 2021 and as it was promised it was waiting for me when I got home Friday.  I have been trying to fill it in as much as possible.

Today I didn’t do very much.  I spent it most on the couch sleeping.  I did a few things I did finish a letter to Kristy in LV. I did some cooking.  I finally got to clean one of the litter mats.   I will do the other one tomorrow.
