Actually that should say mid-morning aggravation.  Everything prior to that was okay until I saw a charge for $12.95 from Walmart Grocery and I didn’t order anything this month from there nor did I use that credit card.  So I had to contact Walmart Grocery and delivery and some chick named Rosabelle is looking it up.  They don’t see the charge and they don’t charge anything else.  So I sent a message to the credit card company (I am not getting on the phone).  I am not looking forward to answering where is your card right now?  I shredded it.  I think I will have to fib and say I put it away.

I am also a little anxious right now because I checked the informed delivery and among one of the deliveries is a letter from Human Resources.  My mind is going absolutely crazy with fear and wondering what it could be.  I have no idea what it is.  It may be about the FMLA or my work anniversary next month.  My hope is it gets here before I leave so I am not thinking about it during the meetup this afternoon.

I heard from Jim this morning.  He had not heard from Kris recently and so this is prompting him to call him.  There is nothing better for a sister to do then give her nearly 70 year old brother a panic and worry about his 30 something son in a state with wildfires.  Good Going Kate!    I don’t think he is even thinking twice about it but I will be.

I just noticed his brother James on FB and sent a message.   I am glad I saw him because I haven’t really chatted with him lately.  I am thinking instead of just asking Jim about the kids that I would contact them myself.  It’s strange to be wondering this.

So the one sunny spot of the dreary anxiety ridden day is the game meetup this afternoon.  It’s the Setback game in Wallingford at 2:30.  I have to leave here by quarter of 2 to get there by 2:30.  It’s been a while since I saw the hostess of the game/meetup.  The last time I saw her was when we had the last virtual trivia game before the state reopened.  I see there is going to be four of us. 

 Well the Cable system is working better.  I also unplugged it and although the schedule guide is still not working and neither is the two CT PBS stations everything else is.  That includes YouTube sinc from the laptop.  It wasn’t yesterday.

So I slept on the couch last night and it was great.  Tiger slept on top of the couch and sky slept on my stomach for most of the night.   He curled up like a baby under my chin and then he moved around and curled up with his butt near my face.  That was just lovely.  He eventually moved near 4 when I started getting leg cramps again.   By then it was their normal time to get up.   I finally got up around 5:30 and did our morning routine.

I am trying to decide if I want to make chili or some chicken dish that looks like chili.  I was trying to find a particular recipe but couldn’t find anything so I may just ‘wing’ it. Wait for it…It will have beans and diced tomatoes and salt, pepper, garlic salt, and rosemary and cumin, and oregano and of course the chicken breasts.  That will be dinner.  I am thinking of making lunch before I go so I don’t spend money while I am out.

I chatted with Liz via text.   She is doing Halloween drive bye’s this weekend.  Yesterday was to Farmington and she says their house is huge.  I believe she said it is as big as mansion.  They have 5 bathrooms, (who the hell needs 5 bathrooms?) and 4 half bathrooms.  Again I ask but why?

She agreed to feed the babies the weekend I head down to Jim’s.  I will leave the instructions for her and prepare them for their late feeding.  She says she is not getting up at 6 to feed them.  She is right they will not starve.

Jim wants me to be at his house by 12 so we can kibitz.  I can only imagine what it will be about.  1) The Lawyer 2) the condo and finally 3) budget.  That should be fun.  I would prefer not to talk about it at a holiday but I am thinking I won’t have much of a choice.

Well I have had my lunch and now I need to get showered and ready for the meetup.  I am still wavering about cooking the chicken dish before I leave.  I can still do it when I get home at 5. 

Have a great Saturday afternoon.
