When I home last night, I ate my dinner (leftover Subway from lunch) then burned DVDs for Tom and Vixmom on my old computer that can no longer connect to the Internet.

Aside from when I'm researching a new writing project, I read and enjoy a lot of the Harry Bosch books by Michael Connelly.    Can't recall the titles.

Will probably start writing right after the first of the year.

Annabelle is sick again.  I don't think the Clamavox cleared up the respiratory infection and it has flared back up.  She;s still eating, thank God, but her voice is hoarse and her breathing ragged.

I had two reasons why I never adopted a pet in the past: being away from NYC on work and not having the money to pay for their care.  I should have stuck to that: I'm in cash flow hell, I have no money until Dec. 20, and I cannot afford to see the vet at the moment.  I am worried.

DR Elmore, I am so sorry to hear that.

And I still can’t help but see this as a parallel to my two girls going through that stuff when the new kitten came into the household.  They each had at least one relapse before all of their little systems had adapted to each other.

I think that whenever you want a salesperson to help you then they don't help you.  But when you want to be left alone they are always there to bug you.

Personally I prefer to be left alone. Unless I have a specific question.

Dear Friends:

My new play Heroes: Fighting In The AIDS Trenches will premiere January 19th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It will be a fundraiser for the World AIDS Museum and Education Center. The only type of museum of its kinds in the world.

It comprises of two one-act plays: Vito: Standing On His Shoulders (About author and activist Vito Russo) and Ruth: The Cemetery Angel about Arkansas activist Ruth Coker Burks who took care of hundreds of young men dying from AIDS in the 80's & 90's.

I have started an Indiegogo (Generosity) campaign. If you like to be part of this exciting endeavor click on the link below and see the exciting perks that are available to you.

Fred, I certainly concur with the concept. When something's bugging me I have trouble sleeping. But even when NOTHING's bugging me I sometimes have trouble sleeping. I would say that worries are one of several factors that interfere with good sleep. I seem to have found several others as well.   :(

Been relaxing.  Went to Gelson's earlier and got some teriyaki chicken from the hot food bar - first time I've ever seen that.  Came home, made white rice and that was my meal and the teriyaki chicken wasn't too bad at all.  Went to the mail place and got one screener, then had a nice chat with Kay Cole.  I'm now in the midst of watching Blade Runner 2049.

Well, I was just about to get ready to leave work when my friend Margo called, asking if I could come over to help with her TV.  Something won't play and she and her sister (who's visiting from Minnesota) can't figure out what to do.  I don't know what I can do, but I can take a look at it.  So, I will.

Be back later.

I've been watching a new-to-me series, THE INDIAN DOCTOR. It's about an Indian doctor who moves to Wales to serve a small, mining community. His wife is very la-dee-da and hates it. I like the series.

I forgot to mention favorite books this year. THRILL RIDE was great fun; very clever. Another favorite was Christopher Fowler's LONDON GLORY, a book of short stories in the Bryant & May vein, i.e., his two elderly detectives. Most of the other books I read were rather underwhelming.

Annabelle is sick again.  I don't think the Clamavox cleared up the respiratory infection and it has flared back up.  She;s still eating, thank God, but her voice is hoarse and her breathing ragged.

I had two reasons why I never adopted a pet in the past: being away from NYC on work and not having the money to pay for their care.  I should have stuck to that: I'm in cash flow hell, I have no money until Dec. 20, and I cannot afford to see the vet at the moment.  I am worried.

Talk to the vet about this and about making payments instead of stopping the treatment.

I did not have to be present for yesterday's inspection, but I have given up on getting anyone to pay attention to my cat or remembering to close the front door.  So I stayed home.

I would not trust these people to enter with my cat there

Well, that was easy.  It turns out that the HDMI cable going out from her DVD player wasn't plugged into anything, and there was another HDMI cable plugged into her TV that wasn't coming from any device!  There was an extra cable that confused everyone!  Now, the one necessary cable is plugged out from and into where it needs to be and it all works!

And I was going to mail out the DVDs to TCB and Vixmom, but I accidentally burned one wrong disc, so I need to re-burn it right now.  It takes a little time to do that, but it's very easy.  I'll definitely mail them all tomorrow. :D

Dirty Dave's in Lacey is the very first place that I know of to ever have cashews (or any kind of nuts at all), and now other places do, too.
