Well, you've read the notes, the notes felt like Monday notes, and now it is time for you to post until the Monday cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SATORI!
-
Welcome, fifty-eight GUESTS!
-
Yesterday didn't really feel like a Monday to me...too many things happened at work, including the server going out, so I couldn't do anything that I had planned to do, but I did go through and empty a box of stuff that I needed to go through, so that was good.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I finally got a good night of sleep. I was restless because of my leg pains, but I still slept more than I did the the past two nights, and I do not feel like a zombie this morning.
-
This morning I have an appointment with my doctor. I will stop at my pharmacy before that and pick up a few prescriptions.
-
Good morning, all.
-
It’s moving day.
-
It’s moving day.
I hope it goes smoothly.

Moving day Vibes for John’s mom and John .
-
Good morning, all.
-
Best wishes on the moving!

Posting from Cat Clinic, where Mikey is getting his bloodwork done.
-
They had started allowing one vaccinated person in with cats just three weeks ago. Now we’re back to curbside only for a while.
-
Best vibes for all!
-
Good morning, friends.

~~~MOVING DAY VIBES~~~ for DR John and family!!!
-
This morning, my first day back at work. I've got a staff meeting and then my annual performance review. Talk about being shot out of a cannon!
-
Good morning!
-
Kurbside Katz.....wasn't that a song by the Lovin' Spoonful?
-
Just a reminder that there will be a stamp price increase on August 29 from 55 cents to 58 cents.....so if you still use them, you might want to pick up a couple of books of FOREVER stamps before then.
-
Vibes for DR VIXMOM that her sunburn cools down.
-
I am hoping the chickens of DR GEORGE's sister are appreciating their new sound proof roof.
-
I also love both Raising Arizona and Gran Torino as mentioned by MR BK in the notes....and I don't think I have either of them on DVD/Blu Ray.
It might be time to rectify that. The more I think of them as a nice double feature for the evening, the more I LIKE IT.
-
Thanks to all for the vibes for my SIL.
She has had a rough time of it. She did come home yesterday....when my sister and I were there she was taken out for a swallow test. At that time and woman came in and started to talk to us about palliative and hospice care....
I finally had to say...."I'm just here for a visit - this is unexpected for me....." It was very hard
We left when she went to bed for a nap...and my brother went up to visit and bring her home later that afternoon. I think she is probably going into hospice care this week.
-
The first night of tech week went about as you might expect.
Tonight should be better. We open ONE WEEK from tonight.
-
The movers are handling everything well so far.

One week, will it ever be right?

Onward

Two!

After the pharmacy, I was 45 minutes early to my doctor's appointment. I was seen almost immediately and left my HMO at 11:30. I have referrals for my colonoscopy, x-rays, and a knee orthopedic specialist.

Good news
-
Distressing news from Albany. The investigation into the governor has concluded there was sexual harassment.
I am deeply disappointed
-
Thanks DR VIXMOM.
Exactly DR JOHN G....exactly.
-
He is now denying the allegations and findings

-
No gym today which is kind of nice, except for the reason.
-
We are having a window replaced which is a good thing.
-
Not so good, I had a morning doctors appointment to discuss having an endoscopy.
-
Now I wait for the call to book an endoscopy.

Me, too. I like Cuomo.
-
I am very pleased to read this...
"While the uptick in shots has been most notable in the states that have been recently hardest hit by the coronavirus, the entire country is experiencing a rising vaccination rate."

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

I watched Cuomo’s response and read some of the allegations
-
I am having very mixed feelings, a lot of what I am reading I certainly would not consider sexual harassment, I have had co workers and bosses touch me and speak to me in a similar fashion it it was never considered to be anything more than friendly informal banter
-
I have been subject to actual sexual harassment and attack and there is a vast difference
-
Sometimes it seems to me that there is a rising puritanical influence where every human touch is perceived as a sexual advance.
-
I’ve seen people ( generally younger people) freaking out because someone touched their lower back when passing behind them in a bar or concert,
When you’re packed in like sardines and the sound levels are ridiculously loud to be outraged because someone tapped your arm or shoulder , or touched your back in an effort to pass by without getting bumped and spilling their drink seems ridiculous to me.

So am I!!

I agree.

~~~UTMOST VIBES OF COMFORT AND CARE~~~ for the DSIL of DR Jrand70 and family!!!!!
-
At the beginning of the last presidential campaign there were "touch" stories about Biden, which seemed to die away.
-

I haven't read the recent allegations but what I had read didn't seem like a big deal. If you don't like it and have the option to express yourself then I don't consider it harassment unless the behavior continues.
-

:(
-
Because all he did was touch, and not in inappropriate places. Lesson learned though, he seems to have stopped touching in pubic ;D
-
I completely agree with this Cuomo stuff - it's ridiculous and needs to stop.

~~~Vibes of All Kinds for Jrand's Sister-in-Law!!~~~

I mean, "received an unwanted kiss on the cheek from the governor" - They'd have to find 99% of the world guilty of this horrific crime of kissing someone on the cheek at a wedding. There are two reports, I believe, of women saying he touched them on the "buttocks" but I'd have to see those reports in full. But a kiss on the damn cheek?
-

It's about time.

I keep trying picture how one sexually harasses a doctor while getting a swab up your nose-lol
-
I just received a confirmation text regarding my upcoming hair appointment. I was pleased to read masks are still required.
-
They are finishing with the window replacement.
-
Whatever they have sealed it with is smells and is making my eyes burn.
-

Yes. The highest numbers are in the states hardest hit by covid.
-
I don't have a fancy upside-down signed copy like DR George, but I just checked my Kindle, and Amazon delivered the new Lapine book on schedule.
-
My annual performance review went well. I'm going to keep my job. :)
-
Great news DR Singdaw!
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I woke up just before 5 am and couldn't go back to sleep. I was able to get a few things done this morning, but not the much-needed trip to the car wash. And I have now reached the zombie stage. Ugh.
-
Congrats to Singdaw. But there was never really any doubt that you'd keep your job, was there?
-
My condolences to Jrand and his family. Vibes of comfort and peace to you all.
-
More moving day vibes to John G and his mother. I'm sure this process has been made much easier by your mother's decision to make the move.
-
TOD:
Easy. BEING JULIA. Revenge perfection.
-
Vibes for Mikey.
-
My feelings about Cuomo are much like Vixmom's. Some people REALLY don't like to be touched AT ALL and consider any touch an assault. Some men I've known have no sense of what is welcome to most women. So many viewpoints! So much confusion over what is acceptable. Cuomo, IMO, is one of the few who showed leadership during the early days of Covid, and I hate to see him fall.
-
Time for this zombie to say adios for now.
-
I keep trying picture how one sexually harasses a doctor while getting a swab up your nose-lol
Apparently he told her she made the medical protection gear she was wearing “look good” . Not sure how infusing a bit of levity into a potentially awkward and scary medical procedure translates to sexual harassment
-

Ditto!

I would truly be offended at such a compliment ::)
-
Today at my medical appointment I received a compliment on the flower in my hair. Should I have been offended?

Four!

More happy feelings.

The furniture got moved. Mom did not.
-
Things take time.
-

Do you still have beds at her house to sleep in?
-
Things take time.
Unpacking first might also help.
-
DR John how big is your mother's new place?
-
'night
-
DR Jeanne - no. Not really. :)
-
Good night, friends.
-
Have you seen what's happened to FaceBook?
It's a mess.
-
Condolences to Jrand.
-
Yes, it's now completely unacceptable to compliment people, even jokingly.
-
The furniture got moved. Mom did not.
Do you still have beds at her house to sleep in?
She is sleeping on a couch tonight. She’s small enough. My sister Annaliese slept on it for months.
-
DR John how big is your mother's new place?
It’s fairly nice. I don’t know the square feet, but it has a spacious living room, a nice bedroom and a tiny area that isn’t really a kitchen but has space for a microwave, a sink and cabinets plus fridge.
-
Gratuitous post No. 106!
-
Good night, all.

That does sound like a nice little place, John. :)

A lull. ::)
-
I'm watching the Olympic opening ceremony that I recorded on my DVR.
-
They'll be performing (and the teams will be entering) to an empty stadium...but it was designed to be more sedate under the Covid conditions.
-
I'm also burning some talking book CDs.
-
Part of my work is returning defective or damaged new material.
-
Some defective talking books got set aside and forgotten (SPOO!), so instead being able to get no-charge replacements (where available), I just ordered whole new copies.
-
The cost of the titles were less than my time trying to deal with all this, so my supervisor said to just delete the withdraw copies from the catalog.
-
Since we pretty much can't get replacements for single discs for talking book sets anyway, the rest of the sets are thrown away.
-
All the artwork sleeves are recycled and most of the cases can be reused, so it's not a total waste.
-
However, since most titles only had one or two defective discs, I put holds on other copies and am making copies of the defective discs and will keep the now complete sets for myself.
-
PAGE FIVE COMPACT DISC DANCE!!
(https://cdn.britannica.com/18/19218-050-03EA5C8F/discs-polycarbonate-plastic.jpg)
-
The copied discs can't legally circulate, so that's why I can't just copy them and put them back in circulation.
-
But since they were just hoing to be thrown away anyway, there's no problem with me keeping them. :)
-
So I will.
-
They'll be performing (and the teams will be entering) to an empty stadium...but it was designed to be more sedate under the Covid conditions.
Oh. It's not a completely empty stadium. People are there, but not many, at all...I think I heard someone say about 6000 are there.
-
So far, it's a pretty cool ceremony/performance.
-
Thanks to all for the vibes for my SIL.

Jack, prayers and condolences to your sister-Ian-law, and to both families.

Hi, Tom.

Did you explain all this to your boss?
-
Hello, George.
-
It is very humid here on South Hill tonight
-

Did you explain all this to your boss?
Umm...the CDs were all just going to be thrown away, so it really doesn't matter. ::)
;D
-
I think, temperature-wise, we only got up to the lower eighties, but it has been really humid.
-
And smokey!
-
It wasn't too smokey down here...fortunately.
-
I gotta tell you.
