I'd be good as an extra in that, except I'd probably be unable to hold back doing a "Steve and Eydie  laughing break-up" every time anyone says "Enter!!!"  I swear the production can be awful, but that always gets me.

I am out of the shower and sporting a new bandage. Aren’t you all proud of me? Of course you are.

The cut is about two (count ‘em) inches long and has about a thousand stitches. Well, maybe not quite that many. But Nathan says that’s a good thing. On the face, the more stitches the better, for nicest healing.

I went to the hairdresser today, then to my favorite food store.

While I was at the hairdresser a young woman walked in wearing very pale make-up on her face, lots of dark eye make-up, and black lipstick. Her hair had been dyed blonde but had  two inches of dark roots AND black sections. She wore a black velvet skirt, camisole, and jacket. Since tomorrow is Halloween I thought this might be a Halloween costume, but didn't dare ask. Someone else did so, though, and we learned that that is her everyday look. Richard, my hairdresser, said to me when he was out of earshot, "That is so ugly!" Usually he says that if he likes the person he likes the hair. Her hair looked very unhealthy.
Title: Re: ACT ONE - BLOCKED
Post by: Jeanne on October 30, 2019, 05:34:14 PM
Her newly touched up look still includes black sections, but without the dark roots for the blonde parts. She was a pretty girl and could have looked very attractive with something a bit more conventional. But perhaps she's happy with this.

Jane, my favorite food store had artichoke soup today. It was really good! Made with jerusalem artichokes, leeks, and onions. I was told when I sampled it that it was vegan, but I don't think so. The ingredients label listed chicken stock and cream, and I don't know if you can get that delicious cream taste without real cream. The chicken stock is easy to substitute.  If I felt more like cooking I might try it myself at home.

Good news on the Getty fire. Containment is now at 27%, but the air is still VERY dry. The Mandatory Evacuation zone has been decreased, the Evacuation Warning area (be packed up and ready to leave immediately) eliminated, and many areas have been given the OK to "repopluate." Over 7000 homes were affected, representing many more people, as most housed families.

I checked out the evacuation centers the other day, only to learn that an evacuation center is not the same as a shelter. Evacuation centers close at 8 pm and you cannot stay overnight. God only knows where 7000 households were expected to go. I'm very glad that so many are able to return home.

Jane, my favorite food store had artichoke soup today. It was really good! Made with jerusalem artichokes, leeks, and onions. I was told when I sampled it that it was vegan, but I don't think so. The ingredients label listed chicken stock and cream, and I don't know if you can get that delicious cream taste without real cream. The chicken stock is easy to substitute.  If I felt more like cooking I might try it myself at home.

It sounds good.  I don't ask about stock anymore.

Good news on the Getty fire. Containment is now at 27%, but the air is still VERY dry. The Mandatory Evacuation zone has been decreased, the Evacuation Warning area (be packed up and ready to leave immediately) eliminated, and many areas have been given the OK to "repopluate." Over 7000 homes were affected, representing many more people, as most housed families.

Thanks for the update.

DR Jeanne do you have a new date for your surgery?

No. I have two weeks I'm trying to keep open. After that I have several medical appointments that I can't really reschedule. I suspect it will have to wait until next year. Mostly I'd like a date I can plan around. Trying to be free for a last-minute notification isn't easy.

That's hard, and frustrating.  I am sure you want to get this over with already.

Yes, I'd like it done, but I'm resigned to it not happening for a while yet.

My cousin put a lovely post on fb today about what the Regan Library means to her.  Later I commented it seems to have been saved.  I knew the firefighters did a great job protecting the library.  What I didn't know is the library also takes care of protecting the property from fires.  In my cousin's words....

The Getty, on the other hand, incorporated a very high-tech fire prevention design. In case of a fire, the Getty would be the place to be.

Keith went to the Barber in the same shopping area.  After his haircut he went to the gym & picked me up on the way home.  I walked over to Fort Vancouver before my appointment & then met him at Fred Meyer after we were both done.  It is very convenient getting our hair cuts there.

Oh, I had no idea.  I don't normally like Jerusalem artichokes but the soup sounds good.  I used to make my mac & cheese with DeBoles Jerusalem artichoke pasta but I haven't found it here.  On the very rare occasion I make mac & cheese I buy whatever looks good now.

I am out of the shower and sporting a new bandage. Aren’t you all proud of me? Of course you are.

The cut is about two (count ‘em) inches long and has about a thousand stitches. Well, maybe not quite that many. But Nathan says that’s a good thing. On the face, the more stitches the better, for nicest healing.

Healing vibes for you!

I learned this summer that facial stitches should be removed after 5 days.

I’m actually scheduled for the 8th day. I’ll check with them tomorrow. Thanks, DR Ginny.
