I awoke with a migraine headache morning, so I did not go to work.....it is still here....ugh.
Good morning, all! Yes, indeedy, it's too freakin' hot! I have to go to Toyland this morning for another round with the scanner. Hopefully, the 2nd Entr'Acte will be waiting for me, so I'm taking the original score for that with me so I can edit it there in the A/C.
Last night's dream, which I cannot remember well, featured as its hero our DR FJL, who risked his life to ensure that a power failure provoked by the villains in the dream did not prevent a happy occurrence from happening. I neither remember what the happy event was, nor why the villans wanted to prevent its happening, but I do remember DR FJL and finding reasons to get the owner,manager of a huge hardware store out of the way so we could investigate methods of getting to the power cables, and I remember DR FJL hangign upside down from a fire escape trying to repair things. Who knew, Fred?
I liked it a lot, as did my friends Sharon and Tamara. Betty and Nita didn't care much for it and Katie and Marianne hadn't finished it. Katie might, based on our discussion, but Marianne decided not.
In the paper today they gave the temp yesterday in Fahrenheit. It was 115F. Hot!
James Marsden knows all about hot tubs. See "Modern Family" for details.

So, I will shortly head downtown, where I will hopefully not be too long today. Following that, I'll return here and bask in my poverty, a situation that currently has me feeling unhappy and angry at the world. I told Ron Raines last night that it was the frustration and rage that were taking up too much of my diminishing mental capacities and depressing me. I'll try working out some of that stress by working on my personal projects. God knows I'm not getting any professional projects.
TOD:
DVD: three Netflix items, some Amicus horror anthologies
CD: I'm not much in the mood to listen to anything at the moment; tv noise is fine company
VCR: this porn is stale
You know, I interviewed Peter's ex-wife a few years back. She was pretty devastated when they divorced.

That's hot!!!
Was Peter Brown in LAREDO? My mother loved that show.
I am finally home from what I can only call a morning from hell, which I posted on earlier. After we moved furniture, modems, and computers around, most of the day went smoothly and we accomplished a lot. All except for the printer/scanner which was stuck in the lousy power system and continued to lose power every 30 seconfs to 15 minutes. It was not a good day, over all.
I am happy to be home, and I'm staying here until Monday morning when I have to go out again to Toyland.

You day wasn't as bad as the day Shades, Shanti, Purrcy, and Feathers had. They got neutered.
They are growling at each other. I know it is the anesthetic.
DR Jane,
Diane Jergens was his wife. 1st one, I think.
Such a cutie! She is now married to singer Randy Sparks.

She wasn't as appreciate of Mexican cinema as I thought she should be.
Migraine-be-gone vibes for DR JRand!Exactly.
I spent my lunch hour torturing my coworker Monica by showing her trailers for the old Mexican films LITTLE RED RIDING AND THE MONSTERS, PUSS N BOOTS and SANTO VS THE MARTIAN WOMEN.
I felt she should have a knowledge of the film history of her ancestors country of origin.
Here is one of the trailers that she watched:

Vibes for DRS JohnG and TCB. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thank you.
John G - Sorry to hear about that. Relieved that you're OK.Thank you. I've been taking it easy the last two days.

Jane, I hope I never need the Pixie Stix for diabetics, but I'm going to be carrying it with me. And I've put some in the glove box, too.

Today is spay/neuter day.

Was Mbarnum asleep on the same fire escape?
I'm up after a fitful night of sleep, which I am NOT happy about. At one in the morning, all by its lonesome, the jets in the Jacuzzi went on. I thought it was someone outside idling his motorcycle. When I figured out what the sound was, I saw that "spa" was lit up on the remote control in the bedroom. I pressed the button to turn it off and it would not turn off. I went outside and tried to turn it off with the button that's IN the Jacuzzi. That didn't work either. Just before getting back into bed, I pushed the button in the house and it turned off. For six minutes, at which point on it went and stayed on all the livelong night. It's still on. I woke up at five-thirty because on top of that noise, the sprinklers went on (they're supposed to) - I feel asleep at six and probably would have slept till eleven had the telephonic device not rung with a totally unnecessary call from an idiot who's been asking for one copy of Pirates for the last three days - I've told him repeatedly that if I HAVE one in the emergency stash, I have to find it and that I'd let him know. So, I'm overtired and when I get like this the chance that I'll get sick rises a lot. So, I have to try and get some sleep later today and tonight I'm going to bed at eleven. The Handy Man is on his way to see what he can do about turning these damn jets off. If he has to he'll shut the pool stuff down at the breaker, but I don't really want that, although it may reset everything and that would be good. If not, I have to let the business managers of the owner know, and they won't do anything for weeks. I don't know if the pool man knows about this stuff, and he doesn't come till next Wednesday.
It's 103 real degrees and it feels like 115!!!
F***K!!!
I went out to go home for lunch and it's brutal outside. Not fit for man nor beast.
My paycheck today was one half my normal check. I have had so many "stupid leave without pay " days that it worked out to a one wek check instead of one half a month. I am not sure how I am going to explain this to my landlord, the power company, the credit union (oh I guess they know), the phone company, etc., etc., etc.
Come to Portland. Temperate and actually on the cool side.

Now you can be as irritating about the cool weather to the New York dear readers as you were to me when we were having 115 heat index weather ;)

Ben!
I was referring to the kittens-poor DR Laura as well.
My post should have followed Laura's but as usual it took way to long to get it to post. I don't know why I'm the only one having consistent problems maneuvering this site. I don't have the same delays & problems with any other sites I use.

I truly have no clue what you are talking about.

Maybe it was Jane talking about the cool weather when it was 115 here. It wasn't intended to be irritating, but when it's 115 and someone is talking about how cool it is, well it's a bit irritating. That's all :)
Choose LAWMAN, DR Jane!

I think they have changed anesthesias. I only had this happen once before, and it was two kittens growling at each other. All six plus mom is awful. I don't have room to separate them all.

I think he was in Days Of Our Lives where he was married to Mary Frans' character

I'm so sorry. Is that due to your days off due to doctor visits & sick days?

Well it sure wasn't me and when we share what the weather is like where we live I find it interesting not irritating. You want irritating? Rainiest "spring/summer" in over 117 years here. 10 days so far this year with temps above 70. That's irritating. :)

I have stuff like that at work and home, but it's too hot to carry with me.Jane, I hope I never need the Pixie Stix for diabetics, but I'm going to be carrying it with me. And I've put some in the glove box, too.
What about food to keep you balanced before you need the Pixie Stix? I carried carrots for the sugar boost & peanuts for protein.

TCB is there anyway for you to change your hours so someone can help you get there & back? I suppose working for the government they won't let you work from home.

Several parts of Social & Helath Services are allowing emplyees to work at home at least two days a week. Especially those employees, like myself, who do not have any client contact. Unfortunately, Children's Administration has not jumped on the work at home bandwagon.
It really isn't a problem with the hours, as much as it is my inability to withstand the pain for two days in a row. That is why I don't know if I can stand five more weeks of this pain, before I can even talk to the surgeon. I know that I looked at myself in the mirror today; and I look like Hell (no comment from elmore).
(((TCB))) I wish there was something we could do to help.

Tom Aldredge has died. I always enjoyed him in "The Sopranos" as well as the original cast recording of "The Nervous Set." And, of course, "Into the Woods."

Some of those Martians had nice bodies.
Back from Borders GOOB sale. 40% off BDs, contributed several hundred dollars to our sluggish economy. :) Huge line snaked all the way through the equally huge store, but moved rather quickly.
