I was watching the Smithsonian marathon of Mighty Trains last night.  It was very interesting but my headache was making it difficult to enjoy it.  It never went away and I still have it this morning.

I didn’t do anything for it until about five minutes before going to bed.  I am hoping the Tylenol will kick in soon.  All I had this afternoon was the steak and vegetables and a few slices of bread.  The back of my neck was hurting too.   It isn’t now.  It was the way I was sitting on the chair.

I did throw out the boxes that I broke down.    I didn’t use some of the cabinet space by the sink.  The dishes that I put in the other cabinet will move there in the next few days.

If you thought I was confused yesterday about the insurance papers I got earlier this week I got another one and it sounds like the coverage for the condo was cancelled but it was for the house.  I hope.  I never did get a call from the agent.  I just have to be sure to bring the documents to work with me tomorrow.

Cortana says its partly sunny right now.  Um I don’t see any sun.  I see clouds.  It is supposed to have snow and rain showers today.   I am not sure when it will start and I am hoping it won’t until I am in for the night.

Liz and I planned on going to Home depot and return the blinds that don’t fit and were damaged.  I know she asked me to get the president or someone here to put the only ones that seem to be okay up for me.  I don’t think they want to come in and do it because of Covid.

I am thrilled I finally got rid of a dirt spot in the Livingroom.  I used carpet cleaner first and then Resolve (I have a feeling I should have used that to begin with).  I think the spot came from the movers.

I am still emptying out boxes in the kitchen and I hope to be done with it soon.  I am still putting the rest of the dishes just anywhere for now.  I don’t want to leave things around and it’s starting to feel like it’s getting messy.

I have been getting alerts from Angie’s list regarding the plumbing problem and none of them have given prices or calls.  Well the Angie’s list rep called and gave me a price I want to discuss with Liz first.  I do have a plumber that I used back at the old house but I need to be sure I can use him per the rules of the association.

I have some cards to get out for the Christmas holiday however, that’s all that’s being done.  No presents for anyone-anywhere.

I better get going….

I woke up around 5:30 like usual and did the feeding routine and went back to bed and decided to start cleaning after 8.  I started upstairs with the bathroom and bedrooms.  I realize that there isn’t much in the other rooms but I don’t want it to be that dusty. 

It wasn’t long before I took a break and finished a letter to Karyn in Colorado.  I also started laundry and finished coffee.  I did my daily check in with the sibs.  I hadn’t heard from Big Brother until much later.

Before I got back to work I downloaded a journal app to the phone.  I just had read a blog entry about journaling and this person was very interesting.  I like learning about how to blog or journal and the different methods (I am having a hard time with the minimalist journaling part I do find it interesting to see others work it.)

Around two I started losing my energy for the cleaning.  I kept looking around and said well the floors are done.  I didn’t wash them I will probably do that next week.  There isn’t much to do dust either.

So I spent the next couple of hours either relaxing or waiting for the laundry to finish so I could make the bed and fold the clothes.

All day I was thinking about the cousin chat today.  I was nervous about their reaction to the news the house.  What would they say?  Would they be judgmental? That was a possible reaction.  I expected suggestions on types of housing, and some reassurances too.

It was great to hear the stories and memories of each of them from their daily lives.  It’s almost like a video letter of their lives.

I am having a very slow start to the day.  It’s cloudy and 72 degrees right now and is expected to get in the mid-80s.  It might get really sticky weather wise. 

I probably should take a walk before it does get too humid.  I have already cancelled today’s class.   I have until 4 to get there.  It actually closes at 5 and in order for me to do cardio I would need an hour.

There are a lot of posts and shared posts of the various displays across the city and even in the blogosphere.  They looked great.  What I don’t get is when people see the videos they ask?  When, where?   Followed by I thought they were cancelled.  Well hello?   Wouldn’t you think it would be from privately citizens (that’s an oxymoron).  There are also lots of posts condemning those who are shooting them off on behalf of their pets.  I am not heartless but you know they go off this time of year.  You all need to prepare for it.  If I had a dog or the cats really objected (I couldn’t tell if I tried) then I probably would.  I was annoyed they were still going off after 10.

I just did ask myself why do we set them off and this article pretty much explains it.  Forest Wickman says there are many reasons besides tradition but then it also points there are firework haters.  I don’t necessarily hate them I do get nervous at the loud noise at times.  I sometimes get worried that if neighbors decide to shoot them off in their back yard and one happens to stray on to say my garage I don’t think I would be happy.   I also feel bad for the animals that it does affect.  Even the wild animals will be affected.

Played Words with Friends both versions and did pretty well but I am still finding myself getting frustrated with the various ads that turn into downloading some app for something.  It’s a weather app and I have one already thank you.  I keep thinking all the games are related and it seems that if you are playing on Messenger it’s not the same as in the apps.  I am still trying to get to play with Mama on the apps but it says I have nudged them and still waiting.  Yet in the Messenger she is playing.  It looks like once you start playing on messenger you can’t use messenger to contact anyone else.  It is very frustrating.  All these I consider problems take away the fun of playing.

I do need to get a few things at the store and then pay the bills that need to be paid.  These would be the car tax, property borough taxes, and I think that’s it.  I totally forgot the car payment.  I sent it out Friday I hope it gets there soon.

I am hoping I get a schedule soon.  Unfortunately Supervisor Bob is off until tomorrow.  I sent him an email letting him know I took the Harassment in the work place class.  The embracing change one is on Wednesday.  I have to be sure to focus.  They won’t see us or we won’t see them.  I will apparently be doing some writing (crap.)

Well its lunch time and I need to run some errands.  I keep getting prescription ready alerts from the pharmacy.
