I spent the Morning working and then around lunchtime and as the union meeting was starting the IT called to help me with Citrix and getting Epic installed on the scanning computer. It had to be escalated.

The meeting was dull. Some participants spoke over others and asked questions before certain agenda items, which disrupted the flow of the meeting. We also voted in the new VP of the Board for the Med School (to replace EV) and I learned from EV by phone that EV didn’t like the woman. She reviewed the welcome message that I posted in the chat. When the vote came up I knew it was for the post she left.

I spent the afternoon trying to find stuff to do. Did some learning that I needed to have done eventually it was time to leave for the meetup.

The afternoon was spent discussing our destination. There were initially three of us deciding. Steph wasn’t feeling well. We went to the beach at M&J’s, but it was closed for the season or possibly due to rain, as there were clouds present. The website indicated that the beach closes on Labor Day. We went to Shoreline Diner. After an hour three others showed up. Only two signed up; one did not. Gill didn’t post about the change this morning.

We had a lot of fun. The conversation covered topics such as animals, pets, and the upcoming wedding. Political matters were briefly mentioned, as was the tragic shooting incident in Minnesota. It was horrible.

Gill and I scheduled to pick up the kitten on Saturday. I chose to go ahead, despite AC’s advice against it and Faith’s input. When I got home, I spoke with Sky and began researching kitten food and related supplies to have everything prepared before Saturday. I will have the second litterbox in the spare room and when I am not home will put the kitten in there and when I am home free reign.

On the way home I called Mama Roberta. She had her MRI earlier this week and is just awaiting the results and for the scheduling of her surgery. She shared with me her plans and keeping in touch with her family in Colorado. She is quite anxious to seeing them soon including the new granddaughter.

Today has been about getting things done. I reviewed with Tania about the current protocols and methods of the sorting and she will have to do the best she can as she too will be on vacation for part of the time I am on vacation. I do have enough scanning to do for the day. I will finish any online training I may need to do.

Training was limited today, but additional time may be available tomorrow. I am leaving early from work.

This evening, the plan is to clean the house and prepare for the arrival of the new person. Did I say that already? I’m experiencing uncertainty. I mentioned to Neighbor Jim (6 doors down) that I am getting a kitten. I am wondering if I did that deliberately so that he would tell my sister.

When I got home my dress for the wedding was waiting for me. So far that’s the only one that came so maybe the others will come Monday. The pot scrubbers will come over the weekend.

Right now gotta find the remote I just had in my hand.
