Tonight was going to be the rescheduled reading of act two of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, but we got another FB message yesterday saying that it needed to be pushed back another week.  Gary, who's organizing this, said that it absolutely WILL happen next week!

This afternoon I see Dr Aronoff, the surgeon who removed my appendix, and we will learn the results of the surgery.  I like the surgeon, but I hate his office building.  It's a long walk through the lobby and a lot of steps before you reach the elevator, and with this tendonitis or whatever it is, I a,m not looking forward to this walk.  I will taxi over and taxi back.

On my walk to the post box yesterday, I ran into our super Jeff, and I asked him if the nice young man who repaired the buzzer might be interested in coming over once a week for a couple of hours to help me with things I'm currently unable to do, like change kitchen light bulbs, drag down things I'm unable to reach, like cat food.  I could sure use him this morning to bring down a new container of coffee.

The Facebook bastards have blocked me for seven days.  Evidently, saying anything adverse about a piece of scum named Betsy DeVos is censorable and a violation of the FB sense of decency.  It's even funnier, since DeVos' actions toward students and education prove this entitled "Christian" lady lacking all sense of decency, humanity, and education.

The bath was my biggest concern this morning for several reasons.  I have to step into the tub and at the moment I could barely stand on my left leg, and I was worried about getting the incisions wet, although by now I suspect there's no issue.  While the water ran, I sat on the edge of the tub, soaped up, and washed my hair.  I did not sit in the water but knelt on my knees, shaved, rinsed off, asnd then rinsed my hair.

Surprisingly, the kneeling appears to have been good for my left ankle because at the moment I'm moving about with no pain! Go figure.

A story from the zoo I didn't tell yesterday because I was too lazy to type it out:

We were exiting through the gift shop and looking at various things. I was behind GS, and he didn't see me. A stranger lady began walking away from him, and he chased after her crying "Gaga! Gaga!" I said "I'm here, I'm here," and he looked at me, looked at her, then came over and took my hand.

TOD:

I think Wodehouse Playhouse was my favorite anthology show. Each week was a different P.G. Wodehouse short story brought to the screen by John Alderton and Pauline Collins. May be the funniest half hour show on TV, IMO. Favorite episode titles include Rodney Fails to Qualify, Trouble Down at Tudsleigh and Portrait of a Disciplinarian. Actually enjoy almost every single episode until season 3 when Collins left. 

I also loved The Barbara Stanwyck Show.

And now, I'm leaving work and heading home.  I was finally able to do some laundry last night (I was desperate!), and plan on doing at least one more load tonight.

Until later.

Thank you. I'll come out after I get the housework paid for and after this virus has been tamed.

I'm sure it is, Vixmom. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel?

The fireflies are out tonight, and they are beautiful. That also means the mosquitoes are out tonight and several feasted on me.

This is week seven of spending my nights in Moms couch

That is a longer stretch than I ever spent on my father's couch at once.  Fortunately only a few of the stretches were during difficult times.

Guess I'm not taking a drive - battery's dead as a doornail.  AAA on its way but there's no guarantee they'll actually have a battery to replace - if not, they'll jump and let me know if it's bad - if so, then I'll have to call again tomorrow.

That's too bad.  Hopefully, it'll be an easy fix either way.

I think George could be Madame Spivy reincarnated!  I now have both of Madame Spivy 78rpm record sets on their way to me.  I'm sensing there could just be a Kritzerland release.

I had a really good visit with mom last Saturday.  She is doing much better than I thought she would be.  You can see her cuts and bruises, but they are healing and the PT and OT coming into the house has really helped her be able to get up and move around a little better
Title: Re: MADAME SPIVY
Post by: cillaliz on June 16, 2020, 11:39:03 PM
She still has 24 hour care for now, but we're hoping that will cut back when she gets her Medial Guardian stuff set up. If someone can be there until she goes to sleep, she should be fine.  She goes to the doctor on the 23rd so we're hoping she can be released back to day and evening care at that time.

Nobody does Ravel and Debussy like Munch.  I've never heard the complete The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian - stunning.
