Roscoe's Quick Notes

QNFEB2023

With an off-hand comment this evening, Sylvia saved me from a world of embarrassment tomorrow. I had misinterpreted my task to provide 100 plates for a KofC breakfast this weekend. I searched for and finally purchaes 100 paper plates from the company suggested when I should have bought foam plates. Sylvia reminded me that foam plates are what is used for the breakfasts. Luckily I still had time to order the correct FOAM plates. Now we won't have to wash any dinner plates for a long, long time. We have so many paper plates...

So today is Wednesday. And it finds me playing catch up. The early part of the week was so busy that I'm finally getting around to chores I usually try to handle on Monday: personal laundry, etc. At least I'm getting things done.

My day was productive early, then ... After another insomnia-filled night I got to work very early with some ambitious chores I'd set for myself. By Noon with more accomplished than I'd actually expected I made a quick shopping trip and did some good eating, Taking a much needed nap swallowed up most of the rest of my afternoon. Now with the early evening here, I aim for a quiet end to this Tuesday.

One very full Monday is almost in the books. The many meetings, both virtual and face to face, went well. If I can read the writing on the wall, today has given me hints of tasks that lie ahead of me. Don't know yet exactly when they'll happen, but there are a number of Brother Knights and Knights' Ladies who are elderly and gravely ill. Wakes, Rosary Services, and Funeral Masses: yes, I'm going to be busy.

So tomorrow I have an annual in-office Drs. appointment with my primary health care Doctor. Rather than schlep in a big box of all the meds, vitamins, health food supplements I use daily, my plan is to print out a detailed list of all that stuff and bring that list into the office. I might even get fancy and add pictures of everything. That'll be my primary chore today.

One quiet and happy Saturday. Told Sylvia I was pivoting away from planning a Spring weekend at the Convention in Dallas, toward planning a week for us in July visiting her daughter in Washington State. She seems happy with that decision. And I've been binge watching a Firefly Marathon on Comet TV.

This has been a quiet Friday. The only constructive thing I've done is order Sylvia's Valentines Day gift and card. And I reactivated my twitter account: mainly because so many sources of information are linking back to twitter postings and without an active account I was unable to follow them.

Headed to bed early again tonight and hoping for another good sleep. Shoulders are a bit sore from pushing a grocery cart around the HEB store while the wife loaded it up. Then carrying the haul from the car into the house. I'm glad she asked me to go shopping with her. I hate the thought of that little woman having to push such a heavily loaded cart up and down those long aisles.

What a full day it's already been! Figured and filed my federal taxes, wrote a lengthy report and sent it to two fellow KofC officers, and sorted and filed a good amount of paperwork in my home/office. And I've been experimenting with a new blog tool that I may employ in publishing archives of my posts.
