>No work, so of course I didn’t get up until noon. I also didn’t get on my computer much, its pretty cold in my bedroom, I mean in the whole basement. So I spent most of the day upstairs. That is, when I was running around in my car just cause I could!

Nothing much else to say. I was going to do some laundry but the washer is in use now. So I think I will see what is happening in my blog. Can’t go upstairs right now, the family is doing their Bible study. I took up my computer and showed them the website that is linked to in the last post. They were not impressed. Well, have to go now, will check in later.

First day

Filed under: Miscellanea
January 3, 2009

of our assembly. I am waiting for D and Tigger to get home so I can take Tigger to get a hair cut. Em has already gone up to get her hair done. I have to take him up to where she is and then I have some things to do myself. Well after all that waiting, he didn’t want to go. Made me a little mad, cause if I hadn’t had to wait for him I could have already gone and come home.

Yesterday I had a horrible commute. I got on the train, it went one stop, then broke the switch, which damaged the train so it couldn’t go any further. They also delayed trains going the other way. So I called Tigger to have somebody come get me, D and Gwen drove to Cold Spring to get me and took me to the Beacon train station. By the time I got back to the train station the trains were running again. Em and Tigger had planned to go to the city so I went home to pick them up, it was now 9:00, the train didn’t get there until around 9:20 and then it didn’t leave for another 20 minutes and it didn’t get into the city until 11:30. So I didn’t get to my office until 12 noon.

Forgot to say, I missed the train I wanted to catch, the train I got on left the station at 6:50, that was the start. If I had not overslept and caught the right train, I would have had my normal commute.

After having to stand out in the cold and the stress, I had an asthma attack in the afternoon.

When I came on to post this I noticed I have had 300 hits since I started this new blog. YAY!

>Not feeling down

>Someone made a comment on my post with my poem, that she hoped I was not feeling that way on that particular day, the day I posted the poem, and no I wasn’t, I just noticed I hadn’t posted all my poems and decided to do that, so as not to overload my readers I decided to do one a week and that was just the next poem on the list.

However, when I wrote the poem, I was feeling like that. In fact, I was sitting in my closet at the very back so no one could see me, if anyone else was in the room that is, but there was no one in the room, that should indicate just how low I was feeling.

Anyway, there will be another poem next week.

>Canceled, probably because of the snow. I don’t know for a fact because I have not been upstairs yet.

Last night when I plugged in my I-pod to add the song Tigger bought, I-tunes said it had an update, so I downloaded it, then the computer said it need to restart so I said O.K., well the computer froze on the restart. I had to unplug the laptop and wait for it to shutdown, I turned it back on so and it was still frozen! So I unplugged it again, it turned off, I waited an hour, still frozen. So I unplugged it and left it over night. As you can see, it is working now but when I woke up this morning I was a little unsure about turning it on, when I did, I got the frozen screen said Oh No, then it went off and the computer finished the start up. I should remember from now on, to shut down the computer, this has happened before.

So now I am just sitting here blogging and listening to the radio, I just combined Tigger’s station with mine. OK, I don’t really like this song, but its not horrible. I clicked ‘I don’t like this song’ once before and I got this cute message, “We’re sorry! We’ll never play it again.”

Anyway, I forgot to check back in with Weight Watchers message boards so I need to do that now.

>Well, not really, not this one. I have a Glyde and the touch screen is temperamental. Some days I wish I had gotten the eNV II, but I am stuck with it. I should have said I love having a cell phone. However, I would not be buried with it, mainly because I don’t plan on being buried.

>I am just hanging around home doing a few little things on the computer until time to go. I need to check some things on my blogs before I go. Just wanted to get a post started for today. I will be back in a few hours with an update on my life, or lack thereof.

>up and down today

Filed under: Miscellanea, Weather
December 15, 2008

>Today has been kind of an up and down day. First thing my weight today is 140.2 which is 25 pounds heavier than I want to be but it’s the same as the last time I tracked so that is good. Then since I got up late so decided I would catch the 6:44 and I missed it. Pulled into the parking lot as it was coming toward the station. So I had to wait for the 7:05 express. I hate the express. It wasn’t too bad today, I found a seat with an extra seat I could put one my bags on so I was able to read.

The other down today was I had cramps like you would not believe. This is the last day so I don’t know why my cramps were so bad. Then an up was my new Chase card came. Tigger is excited too. I told him I needed him to buy songs so I wouldn’t get charged a fee on my checking account.

Another up was it was a beautiful day. The temperature was in the 60’s, of course tomorrow they are going to be down in the 40’s. I also checked on the forms online and I can set up Direct Depost to my Chase account for a set amount so I am going to do that.

A funny thing that happened is I set up Mailbox Monday to post this morning, I was checking my blog on my phone and the post wasn’t there, I finally figured out I was checking the wrong blog!

>Happiness and then disappointment

Filed under: Miscellanea, Weather
December 9, 2008

>As I type this I am a little scared because the wind is blowing ferociously outside, well yes, I guess it is good it is outside, I can hear it and I can hear the snow shovel(it hangs on the outside of the shed wall under the deck) banging against the shed. I can also hear the leaves getting blown all around. It was starting as I got home from Target so it seems I missed the worst of it, I just have to listen to it. I am also freezing from it because the wind always blows my window open when it gets bad.

Anyway, to get back to my post title, my mom called, she got the Hershey pillow I sent her. So I was all excited because the other package I mailed was going to someplace close to where she lives, as soon as I could I checked my e-mail to see if the other package made it, no e-mail. So then I checked on the message board posts to see if it got there, no post. So now I am a little disappointed. Well, maybe tomorrow.

I have to go now and hang up my laundry. That was one benefit staying home, I got a load of laundry done. Oh and I stopped at the library and got the following book: The nine days queen: a portrait of Lady Jane Grey by Mary Luke. It is a biography.

>Had a busy day

>even though I didn’t go to work. First thing, I took Stitch up to school. Then I got the packages ready to mail, which included sending an e-mail to one of the recipients so she knows it is coming. Then I went to the post office to mail them, right before my Doctor’s appointment, and I would have made it on time, if I hadn’t forgotten my checkbook! Well, I had also forgotten the slip that said I got a flu shot so that gave me an excuse to go back and get it. The doctor gave me a scrip for an antibiotic and some Allegra-d for the congestion. We’ll see how I do with that. I dropped the scrip off at the pharmacy then came home, they said it would be about 1-½ hours so I wasn’t waiting around. Then I picked up Gwen and we went to lunch and the mall just to kill some time, Em asked us to get her something at Penney’s so we did that. Then home, then to get the prescription. Oh boy, I’m tired now and I still have to go to the meeting!

When I got home I saw a printout of the page from the Dutchess County Health Department about the “shave-off”. Tigger’s picture is on it! Click on his name to see it. He is so cute.

I got some new nail polish at the mall. Not at trade secret, at the cheap store, I don’t remember the name but I got OPI for less than $6. All I can see for a color is OPI Ink. It is dark purple with a shimmer to it. I really like it, Gwen picked it out.

Now I need to get ready for the meeting. I have to wash my face and brush my teeth. My armpit is, well not really hurting, kind of irritated feeling, I put witch hazel on it after I removed the hair last night, but it still feels sore.

>Day off today

November 27, 2008

>and it has been kind of a nothing day. Slept late, went driving around a little bit. Got a breakfast sandwich at DD’s and a coffee at Starbucks. The little coffee place on Main Street was closed.

Tigger wanted cinnamon gum so I stopped at CVS, while I was there I picked up some medicine for my feet and a tooth whitening kit. In addition to gum for Tigger I got some Dark Chocolate covered Peppermints for Gwen and Spree for Fred.

When I got home I went to my room and Tigger started texting me that he wanted to go driving, so I was texting him back and trying to put him off and then he sends me a text, I C U. He and Fred were outside my bedroom window. So I went out to take him driving around the block. So now he has had experience driving when it is dark. Then I was going to take him and Fred to Wendy’s but Stitch told him Wendy’s was closed today. I don’t think that he was right, but I didn’t really want to take them out. So Stitch got out the frozen cheese ravioli, and we had dinner at home. I put spaghetti sauce with turkey sausage on mine and Tigger’s. It was good. But I am hungry again. I have to go eat.

Oh and I joined Twitter. If you have a twitter account, let me know and I can follow you, and you can follow me. We can be a happy family! OK I am getting a little silly here!

For everyone to whom today is a special day, I hope you enjoyed it. I certainly enjoyed not having to get up at 5:00 a.m. and go to work.
