Well, dear readers, these here notes should be posted right now, and yet, here I am, having just awakened from a nap. Therefore, I have no idea what I’m typing because nap and functioning brain is an oxymoron. I do know that today’s notes will be comprised of words, but that’s probably the extent of it. Not only that, as soon as I post this, I’m going right back to bed because the helper is coming at eleven to help and I need to get as much sleep as possible. So, here it is, in a nutshell. Last night, after arriving home from the matinee and talking to people, I chanced having some food – if you call a few ounces of white rice, some Saltine crackers, and a few sips of soup food. All I really wanted was a nap, so I got in bed at seven-thirty, but the telephone rang, and I had a twenty-minute conversation. Then I had an attack of the phlegm, so I took an allergy pill. Of course, I couldn’t fall asleep. I finally did so around nine-thirty and slept soundly until midnight. I almost just went back to sleep, thought better of it, and began these here notes.
Prior to that, I’d slept only an hour or two due to a bout of food poisoning. It felt like Snow White AND the Seven Dwarfs were in my stomach, squeezing in unison. I wasn’t really nauseous, nor did I really have bathroom issues, but it was very uncomfortable, and I was completely wiped out when I finally got out of bed at ten-thirty.
I decided to chance going to the theater, mostly to say hello to dear reader Jeanne, so I got ready, shaved, and did so. I wasn’t planning to stay, so I figured I’d sit with dear reader Jeanne and leave a bit into act one. But amazingly, the show was sold out, with not even one empty chair and the addition of extra chairs. So, I stood in back of the last row and watched. Well, the audience was incredible, with huge laughs and hefty mitts and the cast had JEF aplenty and there was barely any of the usual fumfering in act one and that act was four minutes shorter. But we had to start fifteen minutes late because getting everyone seated took a while. Then our usual intermission of ten minutes, was almost thirty, due to bathroom usage. Anyway, it was a really good performance and I stayed to the end because when the show is cooking it’s just so much fun to watch. I gabbed with the folks I knew after the show.
I stopped at the mail place and thankfully the other important envelope was there. I went to Gelson’s and got the soup, crackers, and white rice, came home, answered e-mails, ate the bits of food, then tried to watch stuff but failed. The rest you know and here we are.
Today, I’ll be up at ten-thirty, the helper comes at eleven to get the books and she’ll ship them out. I’ll probably go back to bed because sleep is what I need right now. Other than that, I’ll study the DMV thing, maybe write, and then watch, listen, and relax.
The rest of the week is more of the same, but there are things happening and I can’t remember what they are, other than I turn a new age on Friday.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up at ten-thirty, give the helper the books, maybe go back to sleep, study, maybe eat something, maybe write, and then depending how I feel, I may go out with a friend to see a movie. Today’s topic of discussion: You decide – I’m too wiped out to even think of anything. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, happy to have had a great matinee and notes after napping.
