Early Morning for Us

Mom and I had an early start to our morning.  We were both up by 6.  Mom had to be ready to leave the house after seven to speak in Hartford at a hearing and I had to be at Mike and Roberta’s to feed Junior before going to work. 

Mom spent the entire day up at these hearings and didn’t get home until 4:30.  I was at work all day and met with Debra after work.  We are both extremely tired and I think I am fighting a cold.  I just took some Nyquil. 

My day was pretty good.  I worked on stuff I wasn’t able to finish on Friday.  While I was waiting for the lockbox to arrive I did some scanning at LG’s spot.  She had the morning off and came in after her appointment.  I was sort of surprised considering she was telling me on Saturday that she may not come in at all.

I called Mike M from Beth-El today and confirmed the date for our dinner at the shelter.  It will be April 6^th at 6 pm.  He was very appreciative of this because apparently other than what the shelters provide no other groups do anything that first week.  I have been making phone squad messages to everyone to let them know.

The next phone call I have to make is to the ARC to arrange sponsorship of a blood drive.  I hint I can call the local chapter but I am not certain.  I will make that call sometime tomorrow.

I couldn’t believe how cold I was in the office today.  I was drinking coffee and tea to keep warm.  I had my YMG blanket on for part of the day.  There are some days its cold but I usually don’t mind it.  That’s when I knew I was in trouble.

It rained for a good part of the day and remained cloudy and chilly for the rest of it.  As I am writing this I can see the fog out there.  I believe it stopped raining for now.  It is supposed to rain for another day and half this week I think.

The big news right now is the healthcare reform has been voted on and passed.  There was one article from LA Times that talked about it.   I have to finish reading it.  I want to read up on other things before I do as well.  It will help Mom with her prescription but I don’t know how it will effect me as of yet.

Right now though I am tired and going to bed.

STarting to get aggravated

For the past two days I have been working with Claudia M the newest team leader to tweak or improve my job so that when I am out someone can do it with out having a major meltdown.  As a result I have had to frequently wait on Claudia to go over the procedures.  Some times I would have to wait for her other times I would just continue.  Well I still have a lot to do from today and now have to work the rest of todays for tomorrow.  We still have to go over the bad addresses procedure.  We have already discussed the procedure for ordering charts. 

 

She thought I may have had extra steps in doing the medical records and I was slightly annoyed by that assumption.  I just hope I explained it to her so that she understands.

 

She wants to tweak the spreadsheet I have for the daily mail counts and everything.  As of today I will be counting every single thing that comes in and where it is going (every piece of campus/interoffice included).  She also wants to organize where I put stuff or where it comes in.  At one point she asked if I use the letter opening machine every day.  Yes.  That’s how the mail gets opened.

 

Anyway all this plus agonizing about how long its taken me to get the mail done is not making my stomach well.  I have been feeling as though I get indigestion a lot lately.  Of course it doesn’t help to eat food fast. 

 

The woman’s Club Meeting was tonight.  Roberta picked me up around 6:15 and we were late of course.  Not a huge problem because they were all doing things.  We had a woman’s History Month game in which we had to guess the person we had attached to our back with yes and no questions.  I was Nancy Pilosi.  I also won the 50-50 raffle and it was green hat.

 

When I got home Mom wasn’t home long.  I could see her at the computer from Roberta’s car.  When I got in she was getting changed into pajamas.  While she did that I put the garbage out. 

 

Now I am going to bed.
