Today I am changing the babies' feeding pattern: Annabelle is getting fat.  I picked her up several days ago and thought, is she pregnant?  I've been too indulgent with kitty treats, and when she sees Dr Mohr next week, I will ask about her weight.
Title: Re: A JOURNEY BACK TO 1963
Post by: elmore3003 on December 15, 2017, 05:39:35 AM
Thatch at least has both eyes open today, so before I give him his meds, I'll see how they are progressing.  He makes me laugh constantly as he tags along with Annabelle.  He either struts or trots, and since he doesn't have her jumping abilities or grace yet, he often looks as though he's flailing after her.  I can also see that he's patterning himself after her, so in that way she has become his mother. 

I wish she'd learn from him about litter box tidiness: he is really intense about burying his waste and I think it may be a product of his feral roof-living days.  He digs deep trenches before he does anything, scoops as much litter possible over it, sniffs it, buries it again, and then decides if he's covered his tracks.  Annabelle drops a really stinky load, buries nothing, and walks nonchalantly away with absolutely no concern that the air on this side of Central Park has been seriously threatened and lives are endangered.

It's so weird, but because we were going out for it Wednesday evening, that day felt like my birthday all day.  And when I woke up this morning, I didn't even think about it being the 15th.  Not for a moment. 

So when I was reading the notes and got down to somebody having a birthday...um, guess what?  As Kevin McCarthy might have said, You're next!

Thank you, BK!

I'm on my second cuppa coffee, and I've got Thatch's meds all ready laid out.  I'm waiting for the Gerbers to warm up a tad before I administer them.  I've got the water heating up to dissolve Annabelle's half of the Famciclovir tablet.  I think I may use a new syringe for her.  These are great!

DR ChasSmith, I wish you were here with your camera skills.  Thatch has navigated his way to the window with Annabelle and they are fascinated by a big white pigeon trying to fit onto the window sill to grab some bird seed.  His wings are flapping like crazy.

I was informed yesterday that our water would be turned off for several hours today. I adjusted my day's agenda accordingly, but was surprised when the plumber showed up. I knew he had some other work to do on the building, but I didn't know he would be doing work here, too. He fixed the toilet--during the inspection he said he couldn't find anything wrong, but it runs on all the time--and replaced the tub knobs. They've been on their last legs for four or five years; I don't know why they didn't replace them sooner. I'm glad to see them making repairs, AND notifying us in advance that the water will be turned off. (One day the plumber was working at the apartment next door and turned off the water. I was in the midst of washing my hair.)

I think mine is the profound "Turkey Lurkey Time."

Back from a really fun birthday dinner at the very old-fashioned nearby Valley Inn.  Aside from our nice but obviously new server who didn't really know too much, it was a fine meal.  I had a Caesar salad - my least favorite thing of the evening, then the excellent prime rib (about an eight-ounce slice), a baked potato, and we shared a small side of mac-and-cheese that was very good.  We also had their version of garlic cheese bread but it bears no resemblance to the Smoke House version, and yet is equally good.  No room for dessert.

Then I came home and finished watching The Post, which was terrific.  I have Dunkirk for tomorrow.

The toilet in the main bathroom is not working properly and is stopped up - no amount of plunger use is helping, so Grant will have someone here tomorrow to fix it - and that's the kind of attention a renter likes.

Now I'm listening to music - the soundtracks to Wonderstruck and The Shape of Water.

You don't honestly think I'll put up a new topic if we're on page four, do you?  Do you?

It did not live up to the reviewer’s praise, but it didn’t live down to the word-of-mouth.

My friend was very good in the role of Scrooge.

But I have seen some better performances as SCROOGE.

Part of the problem was the script, but another part was the unevenness of the performances.

A lot of inexperienced actors, but also some very fine performances in major roles.

The actor who played Charles Dickens was very good,

That's...okay, I guess.  I've certainly enjoyed some not so great shows just because. ::)

The problem is finding actors willing to take on all of the small roles.  Everyone thinks they should start out as a lead.
