~~~CONTINUED MOST EXCELLENT VIBES & XYLOPHONES~~~ for good news about the big move for bk!!!!!!
Power is still out. Going on 12 hours minus the half-hour respite. Can’t work. Will have to throw everything in fridges out. See what I can salvage from the freezers.

I watched about two minutes of the President's speech last night, but couldn't get beyond that.
I'm sure it was fine and by comparison - wonderful - but I could not get enthusiastic about it. And as usual in these things - the partisan applause was just too much.
Of course at least we didn't have Hillary Clinton who made childish faces and moved around like she was sitting on an ant hill during one of the speeches of GWB.....
LOL DR singdaw - I certainly am as I appear in videos.....I hope we get the wireless network up.

I've been choosing songs - almost done now but still looking for a couple of guests.

Ah. Glenn Close's favorite!

I liked your post last night, DR George.

[edit: and also this morning!]
That's the title of my next memoir: A Sherpa with a Sharpie.
The compelling tale of an organizer with OCD.
We got power back for 10 minutes. It’s gone again.
DR George I enjoyed your "posts" from last night.
Here's another video from the aquarium that took the otter pup:

I am glad DR JANE got the adjustment on her spectacles. Nothing can be more irritating than having glasses that don't fit.
According to my insurance company, the freezer foods should be fine for up to 24 hours, as long as the doors weren't open, which they weren't. The fridge is another matter, but I don't think I have to throw much out. Maybe some dairy. Most of it is produce or things like pickles and condiments (and beer and wine).
I am trying compression stockings this morning.
I feel like a sausage.

Speaking of getting away, today I went shopping for the first time since March 2020, I think, in a store that wasn't a supermarket. I'd been planning to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond one day to shop for new sheets. Then Covid hit. The stores reopened a while ago, but I had no desire to shop. Of course, I could have shopped online, but I wanted to see and feel the sheets before purchase. I found a set on sale for $19.99, plus I had a coupon for $5 off, so I got a bargain. Sheet sets at the other stores I usually shop started around $100, though I saw some at Amazon that were cheaper.
In case anyone was wondering, I was NOT born to shop!

There's a real art to getting compression stockings on. I hope someone showed you how to do it.

I am back from finally getting my new glasses adjusted. Instead of little hard plastic nose guards I have slightly larger, much more comfortable silicone ones.
Power back for more than 20 minutes. Had a good nap with my mask.

I sympathize. Frames really need to fit your face properly. I'd prefer to forego the fashion and concentrate on well-made frames that fit properly. I had this discussion with an optician once. Fashion drives the frames business, unfortunately. When I find a frame I like I keep it for many years.

I am extremely impressed with the price. What sheets did you purchase. We also need to take a trip to Bed, Bath, & Beyond so I can feel the sheets.
Did they have sample swatches out like they used to have or could you feel them inside the packaging?
And you used your short time with power to take a nap?? I'd have thought you'd have had plenty of nap time when the power was out!

I bought Salt (the brand, a "house" brand, I imagine) "Cool & Crisp Percale." They're 100% cotton, which I prefer. Only a 200 thread count, but I'm fine with that. I wanted something inexpensive.
There was a sample of their sateen sheets, also by Salt. Apparently, sateen is all the rage in sheets today, which I learned by shopping online. I've never cared for sateen and wanted percale or a knit, but I didn't seen any knits at BB&B. I've never tried knit sheets, but would be willing to do so for a soft, "teeshirt-like feel." I bought two sets of inexpensive sheets about ten years ago at BB&B and have been perfectly happy with them.

Unfortunately, CPAP masks don't work without power. :-X
Jeanne, did you feel the microfiber sheets?
I am hoping BB&B has the bamboo sheets instore for me to feel. I was surprised to see them at their website.

have you tried bamboo sheets? I haven't, but liked the bamboo TP I tried, but not the kleenex. I suspect bamboo works well for some things, but not others. Or it's just personal preference. I'll be interested in your take on bamboo sheets.

Just had to share. :)

Do you have a chest freezer or “deep freeze” that can build up frost?
You aren’t saying you’d have to throw out beer and wine, are you?
I have a bamboo shirt that I like.
TOD:
Sidney Poitier: Just about everything, but especially Lillies of the Field, To Sir With Love, The Defiant Ones, A Raisin In the Sun, For Love of Ivy
Geraldine Page: NONE.....she is nearly as irritating to me as is Diane Ladd....NEARLY.....and I really can't watch her in anything...for long....especially INTERIORS. She is especially egregious in SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH.... But then some folks enjoy her and that's okay, too.

I am not throwing out beer or wine.
Just watched a Carol Burnett Show episode with Robert Goulet. I do love listening to that man sing.
LOL DR ELMORE - I would indeed love to tackle The Widow, so to speak.

A former co-worker who has since retired just loved Robert Goulet.

I had a really good friend, and one-time coworker, who looked very much like Robert Goulet. From the first day I met him, I called him my Uncle Don. He passed away a few years ag from Alzheimer’s.
Will I survive the next few days is the subject of today's notes.
