>Tomorrow in Manhattan

>

I have a meeting to go to tomorrow, my former boss Gary (not his real name), will be there. I am NOT coming back to the office.

The only potential snag is my current boss may tell me I have to come back, pfft is what I say to that, and to him. Unfortunately, someone from my office is coming with me. He will be told, I have some things to take care of, what I won’t tell him is what it is I am taking care of.

D should be home tomorrow, which shouldn’t affect my ‘business’ in Manhattan. I hope to scan my postcard tomorrow for Friday’s post. See you later.

>D’s surgery was Tuesday, just in case you didn’t notice the time on my last post. Today is my regular day off/pass day. So I got to sit here and watch the Yankees game (day game), I missed the first hour or so cause I had to go to the store so I missed a couple home runs.

Em came home to get Tigger to take him up to DCC to register then I think they are going up to see D. Em says he is really not feeling well and not looking well. His sugar was up so he is being kept for another night. So not good but I guess better in the long run.

Now I have to go off and see about dinner.

>Surgery done

>D had his surgery today. Em took him up to the hospital, she told me his scheduled time was 12:30 p.m. She also told me, “The kids still think I didn’t know.” I can keep a secret from everyone but her.

Later she sent me a text saying his surgery had been pushed back 2 hours. He didn’t get to his room, after surgery until around 8:00. He might not be coming home tomorrow. It doesn’t matter I am still off tomorrow.

Not much else to say, late and I need to sleep. Catch you later.

>Today is better and worse then yesterday.

>Better because I remembered my hair clips and cord for my phone. Worse because I overslept and am now 2 hours late. Yes you read that correctly. I woke up wondering why my alarm wasn’t going off and looked at my clock, thought it was after 6 so I checked my phone and it was 16 minutes after the train I should catch and 3 minutes before the train I usually catch. So I rolled over, briefly considered not going to work today, after about 30 more minuted dragged my sorry butt out of bed and got ready for work and am now headed to NYC. Catch you later folks.

>Missed the deadline

>I meant to get back here before midnight to do another quick post but I forgot. Now I have to go to bed.

What I wanted to post was that D and the kids gave Em her anniversary present, an iPad. It was a surprise (wink). I wasn’t the one that gave it away, I will have to ask her later if she knew what was in the box, I haven’t had a chance to talk to her without anyone around. If she did know, she put on a wonderful act and D and the kids are so proud of themselves.

>Thought I was o.k. this morning, I mean I didn’t catch the early train, but I caught the next one. Then  I realized I had forgotten my hair clips, then I realized I had forgotten my power cord for my phone. So I had to limit my phone use and even then it was dead when I got home. I love my Palm, but it eats up the battery power.

Gotta go hit the showers now.

>I never wonder

>why I can’t get up early, I know why, it’s because I don’t go to bed early enough!

Tonight is a perfect example, I keep saying, to myself, your head is aching, you have to get up early in the morning, you have a monster sunburn that you are not going to sleep well, and my answer to myself? You have to type your blog post before you sleep! The problem is, when I am tired and achy, I can’t think of anything to say!

This weekend was very busy, and this week promises to also be busy. Got a meeting and my off day and D is having surgery this week. So yes, now I am going to bed.

>For all of you who commented on my PFF, I have approved your comments and thank you for them. I was away from my home computer for a few days. I mean I was home, but had no time or was too tired to even turn on my computer. I have less of an urgency to do it now that my e-mail comes to my phone, and I can go on DITL, Facebook and Twitter on my phone, and those are 4 of the 6 main reasons I go on the computer, 5th is blogging and 6th is the other sites I can’t get to my phone. That is not necessarily in order of importance.

Yesterday I was not sun smart (as my doctor tells me to be) and so my legs are fried. I don’t know how long I will be able to keep this laptop on my lap. My shoulders and back are also burnt but not as red. I don’t know if you can see how truly red my legs are here, but they are very red and painful. My shoulders are also burnt, but not as bad.

Something else making me happy is seeing all the flags lighting up on my blog. I have worldwide appeal! I never thought I would have people visiting my blog from all over. Very nice.

>Postcard Friendship Friday #9

>The last of the northwest postcards. Correction, the last of the postcards that I purchased while visiting. There are some I have (somewhere) that my mom sent me. I will dig those out later, I hope I don’t run out of postcards, this is fun. Maybe I will start taking pictures of the post offices in New York City. That’s a thought.

>Time for bed

>So I really shouldn’t be sitting here on my computer, but I will not be here tomorrow. Work, then my nails, then the game. Em and I have tickets for the NYY vs. CWS at Yankee Stadium. That is kind of a DUH moment, since where else would we go to watch the Yankees?

I am also trying to catch up with my blogging posts. I have to blog every day, actually twice a day right now to match what I blogged last year. It is just an obsession with me to keep up. I don’t know why I feel like this, especially when I should be getting my bag ready for my long day so I will say good-night. I have my postcard post ready and it will post tomorrow, and then I will have to link it up later.
