Tomas & Cold Front

Today, I saw on the Weather Channel that there is cold air blowing down from the north. It blew directly down the whole Penninsula & right onto part of the north shore of Cuba. It resulted in blowing Tropical storm Tomas out east over the Atlantic Ocean which is great for Florida. How wonderful for us. It got down to about 48 degrees last night & it's 3:33 AM Eastern Standard Time with 52 degrees outside. It's Sunday 7 November 2010 so the clocks go back 1 hour or Fall Back.
I had a great day off. I did not get out of bed until 1:25 pm so that was my laziest Saturday in forever. It got up to the mid 60's today and the skies were clear as a bell. So beautiful. I even remembered to thank GOD for it.
Andrea & Abigail are at Universal Studios in Orlando for the weekend. They are staying at Loew's Royal Pacific Resort Hotel. John and the baby stayed home with me. I did not get to see Andrea & Abigail before they left on Friday because I was not home from Training Class until a quarter past midnight. I finished my first week of Training at Aegis, my Temporary Employer. The Client I work for is UHG or United Health Group. Ironically, I worked for them in Eau Claire, Wisconsin from August of 2007 through June of 2008. I'll be answering the phones for Enrollees however so I have to really know what I am doing with the information I am getting. It's with the Ovations segment of UHG again so that's good & I am a bit familiar with what's going on as opposed to everyone else in the class who never heard of Secure Horizons with United Health Care before. AARP is the largest portion of that Insurance. I'm so fortunate to have previous knowledge to fall back on. I studied my head off on Friday with the Election Periods that we will be handling. It was very good I did because it answered a bunch of questions & cleared some things up so now the Election Periods make more sense. I also have to study the plans better. Now, if Enrollees call me & ask about changes that can be made during OEP (Open Enrollment Period - Jan 1 to March 31 each year) I can let them know they must make "Like to Like" Plan changes and cannot change their Part D participation, in other words, they cannot add or drop that coverage for any reason.
Today it also occurred to me that we really need to reduce the amount of trash we produce. By "we" I mean all of society globally. It's just that the transportation of solid waste is coming at a staggering cost. Fuel & pollution are only 2 of the consequences. It takes alot of Fossil Fuels & that produces so much CO2 for the atmosphere. Not good. I can see that it's not so easy to reduce how much trash we produce, but then, we can use our Information SuperHighway to Google helpful advice on HOW to reduce trash & get tips on composting. I think that if anyone actually CAN make a composting pile, they really should just try it. Many people can't due to no land space or HOA (Home Owner's Association) restrictions but many others can. I hope to at some point. I did mention that this is a Green Blog (not my original idea, Thank You Jolen my wonderful Sis) so I realised since it's been a long time, I should mention something along those lines. Gopher Beans, my cousin John Muggli, Jr., baked some wonderful Ghirardelli Brownies so I am tempted to have more.
I picked up 2 molded heater hoses at Advance Auto Parts, for my car as well. Since there has been problems, John felt certain this will help fix the overall issues including bypassing installing a new Radiator so I can get a new refund. The part number for my car Radiator, according to NAPA Auto Parts, is 2010, LoL. I'll elaborate on where this car stuff comes from. It was all about last weekend when I tried to drive to Hialeah for a big Family gathering. It was for 2 Birthdays that I am aware of and also a great Halloween celebration. I had to stop at a Ugas gas station in Boca Raton on South Federal Highway and Yamato Road. The nice lady who was working there is Emily & she knows much more about cars & the Engines than I do. She's a great gal. The next time I go south that direction, I'm going to stop in just to say HI :-)
