Monday Musings

[katesthoughts]

 

Well it’s after ten and sunny out.  I sent the pertinent emails and included EV and told her there wasn’t a line that says I was in contact with anyone tested positive.  EV says she will call me sometime today. 

I did get a thank you email from AD, and PTO request approval from Supervisor. Nothing else like “hope you are okay” or something. 

I just got an obnoxious text from EV. I asked her if she was in contact with the others who are in this event she said its not her job to contact people that the Health Plan should do it.   I am already aggravated by everything that’s going wrong today I don’t need her shit.  She has a habit of being a little selfish and abrupt and on more than one occasion annoyed people with her attitude.

I am still trying to get my grocery delivery set up and as usual having fucking problems.  I tried Aldi and it won’t deliver to me.  The one it would be delivering from is up in Wallingford.  I am still waiting on a confirmation email from Shoprite.  Peapod…forget it. Its just  hassles all around. 

I had no problem ordering the cat food. I should have also ordered one new litterbox.  Do you know I have seen some that are over $100?  Those are the self-cleaning ones.  I did find some for $8 to $15 at PetSmart.

Any site I have gone too is slow and annoying me.  Even on the Informed delivery for the post office.  I thought because I updated or at least tried to update my address it wasn’t letting me sign in.

Around lunch time I decided to do something other than sit on my butt I brined some chicken and then cooked them and then did the pork chops…after they defrosted in the refrigerator for the afternoon.

I did the brine from the kitchen.com site.  Slightly different I used vinegar and the salt and just poured/sprinkled rosemary, oregano, pepper in it and poured it in a pyrex baking dish.  It was the only shallow dish I could think of.  I am wondering if I should use the same dish to cook.   Or use the pan in the recipe.  I didn’t exactly follow recipe steps.  I was supposed to pat the chicken or the pork but didn’t do it. Neither did I put olive oil on it.  It was still delicious. Now I just have to not eat it all at one night.

Its after 5 and I just got off the phone with the contact tracing person from the health plan.  She had sent me an email around 4 and so I called back and she was kind enough to call me just after 5.  She says I am low risk exposure so I don’t have to quarantine but I do need the test.  I answered all the questions with the codicle that I did have some symptom but I contributed to stress (explaining about the move)

I just have to monitor the symptoms and get the test on Thursday and I can go back to work tomorrow.  As I said to Liz when I called her I have been very lucky.

I have told a few people the end results. So I can go to sleep without worrying.

I had my session with Debra.  It was pretty good we talked about the past week’s activities and the upcoming holidays.

So before I come home from work tomorrow I will go to the grocery store.
