I had to answer some e-mails, then grab a quick bite to eat (chicken tenders), pick up one package, and then back home.

Then I spent an hour trying to record the song from the other day, which I didn't seem to be able to play and sing at the same time, even though there is actually little accompaniment to the thing - that will be fleshed out in the orchestration in terms of where instruments will be added to what I'm doing - I know the harmonization and chords but if I tried to play THAT and sing no recording would be possible. I finally got it okay and sent that on.

I had to shave and do some stuff around here, and now it's almost rehearsal time.

I plan to spend my day doing as little as possible. Since the weekend, I've had bad ains in my left side between my shoulder and hip. I thought I might have pulled a muscle toting 40 lbs of kitty litter, but now I'm wondering if I could have a kidney infection. So, I'll work on How To Succeed . . . for a bit, mail my apartment lease renewal for the next two years, continue my dealings with my HMO over a lost payment, and lie about with the kitties.

Amy Schumer has been in a hospital for a kidney problem. No-hospital vibes for Larry!

George, I'm glad your eye exam worked out.

Dental vibes for next week. I'm also having my teeth cleaned next Tuesday.

Only a cleaning, how very nice.

Yes, but we will also be checking to see that all is well with the work that was done. Then we'll know if I need a follow-up treatment plan. BUT, no drilling next week. And there's always that little bakery next door with the mini pies.

Fingers crossed all is good. Enjoy your mini pies.

Today I started my 2017 tax prep. All that dental work over the winter put me behind in EVERYTHING. I always break my tax work down into pieces and just do one piece at a time. I was pleased to get the first piece done. Hopefully, there won't be anything this time that requires an archeological dig through years and years of old files. That can be sooo annoying!

Many more people are going to end up in the "standard deduction" rather than "itemized deductions" for 2018, because the standard deduction will be going up. I've had to remind people that if deductions belong in 2017, be careful to include them in 2017 rate rthan ever playing catch-up in 2018.

Randy is meeting with a new real estate agent on Monday morning, so we've been going through rounds of searching for the power of attorney I gave him to represent my third of the property. Oy!

Vibes that the property will be sold!

Stretching the TOD, but on the subject of "unsung actors" - with Diana Rigg getting a Tony nomination in a Musical without singing or dancing at all. And still stuck on the joys of "Show Me"

I heard a rumor (not really) they may add a number for Diana Ms. Rigg to sing after the curtain call for while the Tony voters are there, if Alan Jay Lerner OKs it.

Tune of “Show Me" again

Notes, notes, notes, yes they hit those notes
Yes, I know dear Renée
Has a perfect high A.
This isn’t the Met, it’s Broad-way!

No solo turn, nor a duet
Still I should get - Tony!

Haven’t you heard all the acclaim
Just call my name - Tony!

Here I am with notices that worship and adore
I may not sing, but how I score.
Holding it against me that the mother has no song
That’s sexist, ageist and wrong!

Don’t give me cash, don’t give me bling
Give me one thing – Tony! Tony!
I’m not too proud, I’ll take a tie.
Let's Rigg the voting somehow.
Tony now!

Funny, FJL!

Well, it's time to leave work and go to rehearsal. Tonight, we're supposed to run the show off book. I'm not exactly there (I'm probably closer than I think), but we can still call for lines.

Be back later.

Fred Meyer sent me a text my prescription is ready to pick up. I never remember the number to know which one is ready, however, the addition of telling me the estimated cost helps. I do know which 90 day script is $100.00.

Tonight we boiled lobster. One woman in the group led the steaming. It took about a half hour to get the five-pounder done. We were all happy.

Fred, thanks for the reminder about the tax law changes. I was just getting the numbers together like I usually would, but I really should keep the new law in mind. My 2018 return will give me a better idea of how the new law affects my tax situation.

Today's EKG was good and my blood pressure was excellent, of course the function of the med I'm on us to regulate my heartbeat and lower my blood pressure so the results are hardly surprising.
