Well I would like to say the storm is over but we still have Gale force wind warnings and a wind advisory up until later this afternoon (I don’t know what the difference is but I am sure I will look it up later).  The rain started of course Monday night and kept going all day yesterday.  A few of my colleagues lost power during the day at their homes.  We didn't lose power at work (rats what a shame :)) and I don’t think we did in the condo complex either.  

There were a few places that flooded on and I managed to avoid them or go through it slowly.  ONe was in New Haven near the SMilow Cancer Center and the other one was closer to home.  I decided to take route 1 home all the way so I could stop at Panera bread for a salad.  

I was early for my Salad.  They seemed to not like the fact I was waiting after I said I may be early.  I don’t like that.  I almost left without it.  LUckily it didn’t happen.  I got the Green Goddess Cobb Salad.  It was delicious.

The rest of the night was a regular routine.  Fed the cats watched TV until maybe 7 or 8 and then decided to curl up under the covers. It was a bit cold despite turning the heat on. Before going to bed I checked in on Liz and Nel.  They both were fine.  No flooding, they had power, but neighbors down the street lost trees.   Both cats snuggled up on the bed with me for a while.  

Tiger barfed in the living room.  I am not sure what that was about.  She also has hopped up on the couch with me a few times and not sure what to make of that.  I also noticed she hasn’t been finishing her meals.  Not sure if she is getting bored with it or not but I will be getting some new stuff soon as the canned food is almost out.  I am thinking urging her to eat her own food instead of Sky’s is helping either.  I still don’t think this means she is weakening or losing energy.  It did my heart good to find them both on the couch when I left.

When I got to work I asked many how they did and all of them said good or okay.  So that was a relief.  I have been scanning and did a couple of the cd uploads.  AC and DG are currently putting together the procedure for Scanning Appeals into McKesson.  At first DG didn’t understand what we would be doing.  She kept saying how she scans them to the staff member but now we will be scanning them to the individual patients' accounts.   I am not sure she will grasp this very well.  I am not sure I will understand it either but the way AC explained it today makes sense for now.

I never did have the meeting with President Margaret and I haven’t worked on the membership list.  I am just going to have to sit down and use excel for it.  That way it can update it that way.  We have the auction right before thanksgiving.  Tickets are $25 and I am just not going to be able to go.  

The meetup tonight is at the Diner.  I am not sure how many are going to attend.  I am waffling back and forth about going.  I still haven't baked the bars yet for Saturday’s brunch and I am just not sure I want to wait until the last minute.  Gillion changed the venue to her house for the brunch because the weather isn’t supposed to be great.  There are supposed to be 27 in attendance..

I think I am also cancelling my DTC activities for tomorrow.  It was the phone banking and probably the meeting.  I want to concentrate on baking.   We will see.

My Friend Lisa is coming on November 13 for an afternoon visit.  She was supposed to come a couple of months back but something came up and so we postponed until now.  She wanted to come the 2nd weekend of November and we confirmed it today.  I will need to work hard to make sure the house is cleaned and I have something for us to snack on.

Well got to get back to work........be safe!

Stop suggesting to me when to set my appointments.  I have enough time and certain of these things are under fmla.  To keep telling me I have been missing too much work lately is really not your concern.  Stop telling me what your former employer did when people took too much time.  Apples and Oranges.  IF you think I have taken too much time you are certainly not going to like the fact I am home on Monday.  It's Martin Luther King Day.  Oh and please don’t tell me that when you were here 40 or 50 years ago it wasn’t like that.  I know,  it's called unions.

I would also appreciate it if you would stop telling me to keep the cats off the new furniture.  I don’t mind them on it.  I do however, mind if they use it as a scratching post and I have been on them about that.  Oh and it's my place not yours. 

 I am well aware I could lose said condo if I don’t do the things I am supposed to.  I have been paying my bills.  Keep reminding me it only is  going to piss me off and throw you and whomever else is standing there out of it and shut you all out of my life.  Don’t sit there and tell people how ungrateful I am because I turned my back on your “generosity”.

Rant over for now.

So yesterday was my infusion.  I got there just before 9 and from there it seemed like it was taking forever.  I had to go to registration, then up to the floor, and had to wait a little bit.  It was sometime after 9 when I had the vitals taken and sent to the pod was going to be in. The actual medicine needed to be prepped so It was nearly 11 when I finished (I ended up falling asleep during the infusion).  

I came home and spent the day napping and or watching NCIS and made dinner and after the late evening convo with Liz (that prompted the previous shit) I watched Star trek until about 10.  I had done some laundry and went to bed.

I had a dream. I was at the old place I drove up and saw someone working on a wood pile thinking it may have been next door Don.  Instead it was my brother.  We went inside the house. It was partially furnished and I saw the cats.  Next thing I know Tiger turned into a baby...human baby.  I could hear their voices..and I think something happened to a car.  That’s all I remember about the dream.

This morning the laptop went wonky so I waited until it was reset and checked emails and did the daily health check.  

The cats went back to sleep when I left.  Even though I said I don’t mind them on the new stuff I really hope they don’t keep clawing them while I am at work.  I will look for more of that spray/deterrent. 

I got an email this morning from Bob’s discount informing me that the next delivery The mattress for the bed and something else won’t be here until another few weeks.
