katesthoughts | Mid Week Reflection

Its Wednesday again and I am awed by the fact the week is going by so quickly. It seems like the older I get the faster the years past. I mean this is how long we have until Christmas and this many until the New Year. I tend to get anxious about it. It also happens around my birthday too

On a happier note 29 years ago today I began as a full time employee at the University. Its been quite an experience witness, three new University Presidents, several strikes, watched a union grow and become a force to be reckoned with, experienced some sadness, as we faced the terrorism, and wars that came from 9/11. We said goodbye to many people over the years through retirements, job changes, and sadly death. We welcomed new people as new jobs opened up.

I woke up around 2 to find out that my friend Ann’s families have symptoms of the virus. Actually her nephew and friend have mild symptoms and Ann’s sister has worse symptoms. Ann’s test results will come tomorrow. I have been sneezing what seems like a lot. I am trying to not worry about it and I feel like its not related. I probably should get my temp taken.

I fell back to a light sleep until about 5. Sky had been awake for a while and entertaining himself until his sister woke up just before five. I decided that I would try and fall asleep until the alarm went off. That second cup of coffee was a godsend too when I did get up again for the day.

It was cold but not frosty when I left for work. I had no problems getting to work and made it just before 8.

I spent the day working on the mail. I finished the 16^th mid-day and then worked on the 17^th and at the end of the day I worked was able to get the 17^th finished. Near the end of the day I was able to finish today’s mail. There wasn’t a lot.

I don’t think I will be able to finish tomorrow’s mail as I have the covid test to take. I will be able to wok on the scanning for a couple of hours.

I rushed out of the office a little after 4 and headed home. The traffic was a little heavy not sure if it was accidents or the sun that was setting by 4:29 It was nearly quarter of 5 when I got home.

I fed the cats and relaxed and started eating the rest of the chicken and prepared the pork chops I will fix tomorrow night. I had also got the garbage out for trash day. I was feeling pretty organized.

I fell asleep on the couch and sky slept on top of me and then cuddled up like a little baby for nearly an hour.

I have showered and am going to bed.

OH For the past week or so I have been having text conversations with the ladies in the finding friends group. They were discussing the location for tonight’s meetup and it looks like it was in Guildford. They totally understood when I told them I could not make it yet.

They have planned a holiday party at Stephanie’s home on December 19^th. The gift exchange will be $25. I am hoping to do it. I have until the 10^th to decide.

I heard Kris (brother Jim’s son) and he wanted to let me know he has a new Job and moved west of Denver? Doing what he loves. He is selling sports equipment for skiing. He has always loved skiing and at one time was going to be a ski instructor.

I told him the news of the move but I forgot to mention how Jim’s been helping. I will later. If I am not too late.
