And the word of the day is: HYGGE!

So, yesterday was a day. :) I first went to my sister's and the family all got together for lunch.  My sister made enchiladas and just made up the recipe.  They were meat-free, but still really good.  She used the 10-inch flour tortillas and I could only eat one.  I brought one home and had it for dinner.  Even reheated, it was still really good.  I wouldn't have minded some ground beef, but it wasn't missed.  After eating lunch, we played Phase 10 and my sister won.  Whatever. ::)

After we were all done at my sister's, her boyfriend Larry and I went to my work and borrowed (with permission) a flatbed cart so that he and I could move the 115-pound TV(!) from my mom's den into Larry's Honda CRV to bring it to Best Buy to be recycled.  This was a wide-screen TV, but it had a CRT and was huge!

Here's the cart in front of the TV still on its table:

Post by: George on November 15, 2020, 01:07:12 AM
Fortunately, the cart was very sturdy and it was pretty easy getting it out of the house, even down the two stairs outside.  And we were able to get the TV into Larry's Honda without much trouble...it was freakin' heavy, but we managed.  We left the cart at my mom's house and when we got to Best Buy (I rode with him in his car), he pulled up right in front of the store and they got the TV out of his car.  We then went back to my mom's to get the cart and my car, and we brought the cart back to my work and I put it back to where it came from, then we went to our respective homes.

Yesterday a friend who's been reading my A&T book had a suggestion about Chapter One that I liked very much, but that means rethinking Chapter Two as well.  I've made my first attempt, and I'm letting it sit for a couple of days before I read it and see how I feel about it.  If I'm not happy, I can try another approach or go back to what I originally had.

DR TCB, I agree with you about The Draughtsman's Contract.  I watched it thinking what the fat hell is going on, but Peter Greenaway's films seem to get wonderful actors indulging in pretentious twaddle.  I liked Prospero's Books because it was like watching a live Renaissance mural, and I thought The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover was outrageously funny and twisted.  The Belly of An Architect and A Zed and Two Naughts left me bewildered but not bewitched.

Stella has been bullying Thatch, who happily doesn't seem to let it bother him.  When he goes to get water or some kibble, she suddenly darts in front of him and helps herself, making him wait.  My little gentleman does it with great patience and no resentment.  Last night during Midsomer Murders he groomed her after they had spent the afternoon in hectic play.

Late last night I had just enough of a second wind in me to see a film, so I watched one I'd DVR'd from TCM's October offerings:  a relatively late Christopher Lee / Peter Cushing one called NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT.

Hardly a masterpiece, but not your standard fare, either, and I found it interesting.

It also has a slight but amusing resemblance in one respect to Lee's THE WICKER MAN which followed.

By this time, I was hungry for dinner, so I ate the leftover really good and very large enchilada and read a few chapters in my Cormoran Strike book that's on my tablet.  This epub title from the library has a real due date, so I can't dilly-dally with my reading, like I can with my Kindle titles.  I then promptly fell asleep until a little after midnight, which is why I didn't show up here until after the day changed. ::)

I believe there is a long waiting list for it aside from the fact they take the book once it expires.

It doesn't help though, and I expect DR Ginny can relate to this, the high numbers in Illinois are very scary.   Bryan's hospital no longer provides masks that fit him.  He has his own and can get more but I fear there will be a shortage again.  While the number of cases at his hospital have been fairly low they now have trouble finding beds.

All the people complaining about wearing masks & refuse to wear them should try wearing an N95 during an entire shift  >:(

Tomorrow, I will let her off the hook and remind her that we can still get take-out food on Tuesday.

I was actually doing some work for work, so I was on my work laptop while watching the series finale of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then the first two episodes of B Positive, a new sitcom about a guy who needs a kidney transplant.

They had said that today we would be free of showers, but no such luck.

It was definitely raining this evening.

I am not sure I will return for episode 3 of B POSITIVE.

My poor sister is freaked out that she will have to cook something to eat for my niece’s birthday.

Well, she could just heat up some frozen foodstuffs and assemble something fairly palatable and presentable. ;)

I think I'll stick it out.  I must admit that I don't think that it'll last too long, but I do like Annaleigh Ashford.  She's another Broadway Baby who's made the leap to TV.

It was only a suggestion.  She may not have any right now, but there's always the possibility of getting some just for the special occasion.

She is the main reason I won’t return to the show.  I like Thomas Middleditch.

By this time, I was hungry for dinner, so I ate the leftover really good and very large enchilada and read a few chapters in my Cormoran Strike book that's on my tablet.  This epub title from the library has a real due date, so I can't dilly-dally with my reading, like I can with my Kindle titles.  I then promptly fell asleep until a little after midnight, which is why I didn't show up here until after the day changed. ::)

I believe there is a long waiting list for it aside from the fact they take the book once it expires.

I know!  That's why I checked it out with the 21-day check-out period.  I don't know if it'll automatically be removed from my tablet, even if I don't turn on the wi-fi, like I do with my Kindle.  We'll probably see!

Yesterday, Jane asked:

George & TCB did you see our governor will be making an announcement tomorrow regarding new bans?

Tom said that he saw it, and I did, too.  I won't watch/listen to it live, but I'll find out what's it all about (Alfie ;) ) when I find out about it.

Same here.  I have a neighbor who posted on FB the Pacific that the Pacific states are not just anti-Trump but are pro communist.  I really do not understand how protecting us from the virus is either political or communism.

I have no idea where that idea even comes from! :o

We are watching Merchant and Ivory's Maurice, which we haven't seen in a long while.

I really like it, too.  The first time that I saw it for sale on DVD was on eBay, and the only version was the Region 4 version from Australia.  I bought it, and then I bought my first region-free DVD player.

Awhile back Bryan purchased a high-def camera for his tv making video chatting much friendlier.  It feels more like we are visiting in their living room.  Best of all, Freyja and see and respond to a better.  Today we had an extra nice chat.

Nice!
