Well, you've read the notes, the notes looked back at the year that was, part one, and now it is time for you to post until the looking back cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ZIBELINE!
-
First post after BK!
-
Nothing to report, so I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
I fell asleep but it didn't last long, darn.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I slept off and on for 15 hours. I think I’m in the right time zone now.
-
My sister is wearing a sweatshirt that says Good Vibes. I think I’m in the right place.
-
Good vibes for all.
-
Sad news about Nancy Wilson dying.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Today would have been my dad's 97th birthday.
-
I had a very strange dream last night. I traveled to some mittel-European country like Lithuania or Estonia to visit my friend Alan Freeman who died four years ago.
-
DR vixmom, I hope your last day at this current job is an easy and pleasant one.
-
I am back to City Center today. Joshie and I are almost through the Act One vocal score for I Married an Angel.
-
I've begun reading The Best Cat Ever, Cleveland Amory's third and last book in his series of books about his cat Polar Bear that began with the wonderful The Cat Who Came For Christmas. This book, written after Polar Bear's death in 1992, is a killer, funny and heartbreaking.
-
Sounds nice, Elmore.

Sounds nice, Elmore.
They're wonderful books. Highly recommended.

On patrol this morning, Annabelle did something I've never ever seen her do. We were on the second floor landing, and I was sitting on the steps. Annabelle was sitting in the middle of the hall when she sat ip and watched something, then she stood on her back legs and reached up as though someone were petting her. Then she walked down the hall, and stood again, as she does when I scratch the top of her head while I'm standing and reached up again. I think she just met a ghost who likes cats!
-
Yup......ghosts like cats.....
-
Vibes for MR BK - no more merde.
-
Great news from DR JEANNE.
-
Have fun DR JOHN G.
-
Lots of rain predicted for us tonight and tomorrow.
-
Ruby Keeler actually got to be a bit of a better actress as she went on......her tap dancing was always kind of flat-footed, but I guess that was the style then....or maybe it was the shoes she wore....anyway, she could be pretty funny ON PURPOSE.....when she wanted to be.
-
I didn't see THE BIG SHORT....there are a lot of previews on tv now for VICE, but it doesn't seem to be something I would want to see....it's obviously history rewritten for an agenda which will be embraced and lauded by some members of the press.....
-
Good morning!
-

Wow! Have a fantastic time.

Ditto.

Friday afternoon greetings! Sorry I haven’t checked in for a few days. Richard and I both had appointments with our eye doctor on Wednesday and then we did some Christmas shopping and went to lunch. We got home, regrouped, and he went to physical therapy (shoulders) and I went to visit my friend who’s recovering from hip surgery.
-
Yesterday we got up and were getting ready to drive to Piqua to visit my cousin’s wife Pam and one-year-old daughter Gracie. They’re visiting Pam’s mom, but Gracie was running a fever so we postponed to today and I did some puttering. This morning they think Grace has an ear infection, so we’ve cancelled all together because I don’t want to expose Richard to anything that would interfere with his upcoming cataract surgeries.
-
TOD - for my birthday Rob and Mary Linda gave me Christine Andreas’ new Edith Piaf tribute CD. I can’t stop listening to it!
-
Good...um, afternoon, all.
-
Back from rehearsing this little cabaret type show we’re doing at the senior centers.
I get a few hours of rest (but not much, since I’m one of the weary wicked), then this evening I’m off to attend Kristi’s office holiday par-tay at a local country club. It’s known for good food, even better libation, and much merriment.
-
I will be careful not to have too much of that merriment stuff.
-
I slept off and on for 15 hours. I think I’m in the right time zone now.
Hope you have a great time, John!
-
I'm up, I'm up - I guess I got seven hours of sleep.
-
I am home from City Center, and the cats seem happy to see me.
-
Sad news about Nancy Wilson dying.
I'd read that earlier. :(

Wise decision but a shame you had to cancel.

I had a good PT session this morning.

Good news DR JANE.
DR CHAS SMITH be as merry as you care to be!
-
DR GINNY whatever you are doing today and tomorrow - it will be raining.

Better than snow, DR JRand. Today I’m home except for my quick trip to Central Pastry this morning for some Christmas cookies to hold us over until I bake my own next week. Tomorrow we’re going to a lunchtime triple birthday party for Rev. Amy’s children, whose birthdays are Dec. 6, 10, and 13. On Sunday, we’re going to Lima for Fr. Richard to conduct a service for the former parishioners there.
-
Annabelle is congested again. This is beginning to be a very bad joke. I cannot afford to take her to the vet every time her sinuses need flushing and, to make it worse, I don't think this children's nose drops is doing a thing.
-
Just an update.
Still recovering from my leg infection. basically been homebound. Gone out a few times. Walked the dog short distances. Having help in that area.
-
Good afternoon
-
Almost done with my day here at school. We are in full Christmas Program mode now. We have our program next Thursday, and I'm hoping for a little miracle that it gets pulled off well. Everyone always says "Oh, it will always come together" and while they are right, I'm waiting for the day when they aren't. LOL The kids will pull through.
-
I'm back in for the final weekend of A Christmas Carol-The Musical and doing my best to be happy with playing with some great musicians for a dull production of a great show. 4 more performances, not like I'm counting or anything.
-
Other than that, still doing some Christmas shopping for the kids, as the adults are all taken care of. A few bottles of booze for other people, and I'm done. So done. Counting the days (11) before I leave for Amsterdam for a week or so away.
-
TOD - for my birthday Rob and Mary Linda gave me Christine Andreas’ new Edith Piaf tribute CD. I can’t stop listening to it!
Sounds wonderful.
-
Healing vibes for Michael.
-
We went to the Kristkindlmarkt in Rothenburg today. There are some pictures on Facebook if anyone wants to copy them over.
My favorite was the organ grinder Santa playing Danny Boy.
-
TOD
An audiobook of There, There by Tommy Orange.
-
TOD - for my birthday Rob and Mary Linda gave me Christine Andreas’ new Edith Piaf tribute CD. I can’t stop listening to it!
Thanks for mentioning this, DR Ginny! I meant to order this CD. Love Christine!
-
And I’m too tired to keep up with much.
-
Good night, all

I do, too, DR KevinH! DR Elmore and I saw her in OKLAHOMA on Broadway in 1980.
-
Good afternoon.

I spent the day cleaning the fellowship building (after the cleaning crew was there) to get ready for a private party tomorrow night. This cleaning crew seems to be a "second chance" thing for ex-cons to get jobs. Too bad their work is sub-par.
-
Well, at least the one building gets a thorough cleaning once a year.
-
Back from picking up a package and then In 'N' Out.

The photo that DR JOHN G mentioned:

Tonight is the annual rerun of the I Love Lucy Christmas Special and this year's newly colorized rerun is PIONEER WOMEN.....I shudder to think about the lines that will be cut.....but I am sure I will still laugh....
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Thanks for transporting John's photos, Jack.
-
Healing vibes to DR Michael.
-
Surviving-the-season vibes to any who need them.

I'm sorry the cleaning people aren't helping to lighten your load, Laura. In my experience, many of the professional cleaners are sub-par. Motivation seems to be lacking.

I suggest you look for some veterinary websites that are geared to non-veterinarians, people who just want to keep their pets healthy. I'm often amazed at how much information is out there--books or online--and how much of it was not conveyed to me by my practitioners.
Vibes to Annabelle.
-
How's the German, John G? I imagine you and your sister converse mainly in English.
-
It is finished
-
Congratulations, DR Vixmom!
-
I've been watching THE GOOD FIGHT season 2. I LOVE this show! I find it totally addictive.
-
It is finished
YAY! YAY! YAY! DOUBLE YAY!
-
A now former coworker invited Vixdad and I over this evening so I will be heading out shortly
-
The girls gave me some lovely going away cards,a $50 gift card to Kohls, a willow wood friendship angel, and a Kate Spade handbag!
-
Woo hoo, Vixmom! I will celebrate the end of this era at a party tomorrow night. Well, I will be "The Help" at the party, but partying nonetheless.
-
It is finished
Hoo and Ray!! :D

It is nice to give them a second chance, still you shouldn't have to clean after they are gone. Unfortunately that happens too often with any cleaning crew.
-
Thanks for transporting John's photos, Jack.
Yes, thank you. I hope you will do the same for me after Christmas.
-
Other than that, still doing some Christmas shopping for the kids, as the adults are all taken care of. A few bottles of booze for other people, and I'm done. So done. Counting the days (11) before I leave for Amsterdam for a week or so away.
Amsterdam is nice. We spent a couple of hours there once. I would like to return one day and see the rest of the city.

MEGA LEG HEALING VIBES FOR DR MICHAEL!

Especially for such a short time of relief :(

It is wonderful. Best of wishes on your new chapter. Vibes that once settled in you are very happy with your new job.

Nice.

I gather you had a nice work Christmas/going away party.

How's the German, John G? I imagine you and your sister converse mainly in English.
She knows very little English, so the communication is mostly in German. My listening is better than my speaking. I must sound awful because I never learned the 500 verbs that are irregular in the past tense. But I can’t let that bother me.
-
It is finished
Yee and haw! Congratulations and many blessings on your new chapter.
-
I must go back to sleep. It’s 3 am here.

I am sure she is just happy to have you there.

Whoa.
Wow.
A(n) historical moment in the river of time.
-
Seriously.
-
And I am back — from the office par-tay, and not too much the worse for wear.
Well, maybe a couple of Manhattans the worse for wear. But that’s not too much. Right?
-
her tap dancing was always kind of flat-footed, but I guess that was the style then....or maybe it was the shoes she wore....
It's always one or the other. But shoes matter.
-
Well, since we're so close...
-
Feel-better vibes to DR Michael!

Gratuitous Post #
100 101!

Congrats, vixmom!

And now, it's time for me to leave work and head out.
Be back later.

Have we discussed this odd thing about Dolly Parton's husband fantasizing about him and Dolly, er, getting together with Jennifer Aniston?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDUX9oonX0s
Did Dolly actually say "He can't get it to pee, let alone for three" - and Jennifer just looks on. Dolly and Jennifer are pushing a movie they worked on together; is this a possible publicity gimmick?
-
We are back home after a fun evening
-
I had three glasses of blueberry wine
-
We played. Left, right, center with three dollars each... I won the first two pots. Then Vixdad won the third. Vixdad insisted on leaving his winnings in the center for the 4th round , and we both stayed at the table but didn't play . The host won the 4th round (whew!)
-
We had such a good time, I haven't laughed so much in ages
-
I have the soul kitchen tomorrow
-
Soup
-
And the wine is baking pit hard to stay awake
-
Making it
-
Vibes fr toy. All
-
Thank you. First r the congratulations
-
Good night
-
Great to hear about all the fun, vixmom!
-
We had such a good time, I haven't laughed so much in ages
That's great, Vixmom!
-
I'm watching last week's episode of Doctor Who.
-
I had to stop watching Doctor Who because my friend Margo called and she's a talker...and we haven't chatted in a couple of weeks. That's a long time for us.
-
PAGE FIVE DANCE!!
-
Back from a not so hot show - half a house, so that wasn't terrible, but half the cast is sick - no one takes care of themselves and don't learn the simple lesson not to be around sick people. Poor Peyton is sick, too, with a terrible cough, which she did her best to deal with during the show. And too much sloppiness tonight so I've instructed a few people to be there at seven to clean up stuff.

~~~DITTO!!~~~
-
Well, I really hate to do it, but I need to go to sleep.
-
Tomorrow is going to be a very long day and it's going to start early.
-
We in the musical version of A Christmas Story are moving into the theater and we have to be there by 9:00 am.
-
I'll need to leave rehearsal early so that I can go to work at noon for the last time to work extra hours to get a paycheck at the end of the month.
-
After work, I'm going to my parents' for our weekly family dinner.
-
Then I'll leave there to go to Olympia Little Theatre to see their radio play version of A Christmas Story.
-
It'll be the only time that I'll get to see their show.
-
It'll be fun to see another verion of the same story!
-
Sunday, we have rehearsal from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm.
-
Then I'm free until work on Monday!
-
Good night and have a good day, all!
-
Good evening.
-
Oh! Good night, George.
-
I am late coming online tonight, because my friend Betzy came to my show and we have been texting about her reactions.
-
She thought I was great.
-
I won’t mention any of her other comments.
-
Part of the old actors club was also at the show tonight.
-
They had very little to say.
-
The whole cast was keeping close to their cell phones backstage, in case we lost power in the windstorm.
-
But we never lost our power.

Hi, jan.
