Well, you've read the notes, the notes were well-dressed, and now it is time for you to post until the well-dressed cows come home.

Topic of the Day: I haven't really cooked much at all. I've been supporting local restaurants (and locally owned chaines), such as Red Wagon, Taco Bell, Meconi's, Happy Teriyaki, Jersey Mikes, Subway, and my regular Friday joint, Eagan's. I've also gotten quite a bit of leftovers from my family get-togethers.

Today, I get to go into work! Actually, I need to, so that I can pay a few invoices and check my mail. I'm sure a few other people will be there, but not many.

Tonight, a friend is organizing a practice Zoom meeting because he wants to do an online reading of a play with some actor friends. I'll be helping with the practice Zoom meeting, but won't be participating in the actual reading next week, just watching. I'm sure that it'll go well, especially since there's no music involved.

And now, I must get to sleep so that I can wake up in time to go to work early enough to actually get some time in.

Have a good day, all!

I think I slept pretty well. The cats behaved rather well, I think.

Whatever my dear wife puts on the table.

DR TCB, I sent you the PM you requested. I'll post the info here as well:

I go in for surgery Monday morning, June 1, time not yet set. The surgery will be Monday morning. One surgeon believes I will be released on June 3, and the other suggested June 4. My friend Joshie will be liaison on progress and updates to a list of family and a few friends. DR Ginny is my HHW delegate.

The panic hasn't fully set in yet. I'm actually more worried about the cats than myself. This will be the first time I've left them for several days. My neighbor Judy will be feeding them, but she doesn't know their personalities or behavior as I do. I will warn her that Annabelle gets really crazy and ambivalent about food I put out and food she wants instead. She knows that Thatch will hide until she leaves the apartment.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 26, 2020, 04:32:15 AM »

And I worry a great deal about what will happen to them if I do not return. Plans are in place, but the best laid plans of mice and men . . .

elmore3003 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 26, 2020, 04:33:16 AM »

I will work on my orchestration today. I need to see Jeff the super about a bathroom leak as well. I hope he can come up and take care of it today.

I've mostly been eating what the food deliveries bring. Usually, it's grilled chicken strips, a vegetable - mixed, peas and carrots, or brussels sprouts - roasted potatoes, tuna salad, and potato salad. The last delivery brought bagels, cream cheese, and cranberry juice. The breakfast selection is usually pretty wonky.

Kitty cleanup is over. I need to take some garbage to the basement.

I’d like to stand in a long line behind you to do the same. Unfortunately, you can’t fix stupid, but it would be fun to try to slap it out of her.

Some would consider gay people who are in the closet as HOMONYMOUS.

TOD:

Just about the same......since I cook every few days and eat sandwiches on the other days.

I don't eat out at all - so expensive - or order in.....sometimes I do have a Papa John's night, but it has been quite awhile since I have done that.

I get an email every day from them with a special....so maybe I will do that when it cools off later this week.

DR Jane re: the question you asked yesterday about neighbors breaking the law by having people in their homes.

We were told that nobody from outside the household was supposed to be in house. Was it a law? Probably not. But it was clearly stated. They were also having people in their backyards. Which again was probably not an actual law. But we were told that it was not allowed. Same with meeting up with friends at parks. Because it would lead to people doing things that would not be good.

I would say that most people were quite good about this. Although one neighbor kept having people visit on the street, yet they were standing right on top of each other.

I guess everyone had to decide for themselves what they were willing to give up. It just really bothered me on Mother's Day when the people next door had two cars in their driveway and at least 2-3 people in their house (probably their kids or family). And the people across the street had 2-3 people in their house.

When restaurants re-open will most people here flock to them like BK said in the notes? I just can't see myself doing this anytime soon.

DR Elmore, I know that Judy and Joshie and DR Ginny will take care of everything. Judy will probably even have it easier than you think. There were a couple of times when we all had to be away and have friends come over to feed the kitties for a few days, and I'm the biggest worrier in the world, but it always went fine. Does she know how to get in and out without the usual suspects escaping?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 26, 2020, 06:01:08 AM »

I did order a pizza last week, and I will probably order quite a bit when I return from hospital.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** May 26, 2020, 06:02:23 AM »

I expect my re-participation in "life outside" to be an extremely cautious and gradual thing.

Last night we watched the Geraldine McEwen Miss Marple mystery, The Body in the Library, which was a little too updated for me. Killer lesbians seem too far afield from Miss Christie's characters.

John G. · « **Reply #28 on:** May 26, 2020, 06:20:58 AM »

Given the coast of the siding, I can’t afford to go out anymore.

Judy has had several encounters retrieving my cats on the loose!
