I slept an hour later this morning. I needed the sleep, and, except for the cats. I had no reason to move at all. It was freezing in the apartment, and the bed was too warm and cozy.

Sondheim rhymed "nectarines" with "beans."  So there's that. Or was it "greens"?  Well, never mind, anyway...

I had strange dreams, the last being ne in which I was sleeping on my parents' couch in Ohio when a college friend and his girlfriend showed up to visit. I couldn't explain why I was sleeping on a sofa rather than my bed. The cats were with me, and then the friend, girlfriend, and I boarded a bus in Manhattan and we ended up in Toledo, Ohio, at the home where my goddaughter Emily grew up. The house was for sale; her father was moving to Chicago, which was where all of his four daughters had migrated, and he felt the house wasa too large sicne his wife had died. Then, Bob Emerson, who owned Theatrebooks, for whom I worked 1981-1983, showed up.

In the middle of the night Thursday night, hoodlums broke into our building's underground parking garage, bashed in a vehicle window, hotwired it, and took off in the stolen vehicle for a joyride. The stolen vehicle being a specially equipped van for a quadriplegic who lives in our building. The stolen vehicle was in the adjacent parking spot to where our own car is parked. They also tried to jimmy the locked doors to the stairwells leading into the building itself.

I am cautiously optimistic:

I am tasting things again, and last night, the smell of a cup of coffee brewing nearly knocked me for a loop.

It's not 100 percent, but it's reappearing.  I could not BE more relieved.

I have a question for the theater-goers here.

I have tickets to the tour of The Band's Visit this afternoon. I have a vacation planned next week. Should I risk going into a theater? Is the show good enough to risk our trip?

I am vaccinated, but several vaccinated people I know have gotten covid, although it's the mild form. If we get sick we'll have to cancel our trip (unless we get the two-day covid).
Title: Re: WHERE ARE THE NECTARINES?

Well, it's our last day of thaw. Nathan is actually going out to hit a few golf balls today. In February. In New England.

Temperature goes back down tonight, and we could get an inch or two of snow tomorrow. If it could somehow manage to be just an inch, we could blow it right to HELL with the leaf blower. Wouldn't that be wonderful? We do get another little thaw session next week, which certainly is wonderful. I like wonderful. Don't you?

And now, the news.

Having not been driven for ten days, some of which were in our ungodly sub-freezing temperatures, Nathan's car wouldn't start this morning. (He has a work truck, and just hadn't used the personal car in that many days.) So out came the trusty BK-approved jump starter for its first job, and it performed magnificently! Hell, it feels like a member of the family now.

We had a thief in our garage 3 nights ago.  Only unlocked cars were broken into.  Two nights ago the condo complex next to us was broken into and two cars stolen.

While I was wide awake that night and roaming around I saw two cars driving down the quiet road.  At the time I thought it strange to see cars at that hour.  Now I suspect I saw the thieves driving away.  They were two far away for me to see more then the headlights.

Frustrating experience at the pharmacy. When I placed the refill order, they asked if I wanted to pre-pay. So I put in all my card information online. But when I got to the pharmacy, they had no record of it. So I had to pay on site, and will now probably have been charged twice. Why can't anything be simple anymore?

Have spent my afternoon going through tons of old papers.  Whenever did I start hoarding mail items?

Enough, enough, enough!

Getting my life in order, after months of apathy and nose-blowing, is my goal.

I was going through a box of tissues nearly every day up until four days ago.  I haven't had to blow my nose once since then.

it's freaky scary.

Wow, that is a lot of kleenix.  Vibes you don't return to needing so much.

We weren't that thrilled with it until the last 3 episodes.  The last episode was especially good.  Too bad you don't have someone to record Disney shows for you.

In the middle of the night Thursday night, hoodlums broke into our building's underground parking garage, bashed in a vehicle window, hotwired it, and took off in the stolen vehicle for a joyride. The stolen vehicle being a specially equipped van for a quadriplegic who lives in our building. The stolen vehicle was in the adjacent parking spot to where our own car is parked. They also tried to jimmy the locked doors to the stairwells leading into the building itself.


I hope they rot in……Pittsburg!

I have a question for the theater-goers here.

I have tickets to the tour of The Band's Visit this afternoon. I have a vacation planned next week. Should I risk going into a theater? Is the show good enough to risk our trip?

I am vaccinated, but several vaccinated people I know have gotten covid, although it's the mild form. If we get sick we'll have to cancel our trip (unless we get the two-day covid).


I hope you decided to go, Laura.

I am cautiously optimistic:

The sinus issues I have been having the past 5 months seem to be going away.  And the loss of taste and smell which I have endured for at least 10 months seem to be lifting.

I am tasting things again, and last night, the smell of a cup of coffee brewing nearly knocked me for a loop.

It's not 100 percent, but it's reappearing.  I could not BE more relieved.


I have forgotten, Ron, did you come down with CoVid?  Was that what caused the loss of taste and smell?

I don't think I would want to pre-pay for a prescription unless it was being delivered or picked up by someone else.  I like to check my order is correct before I walk away from the pharmacy.


I am prepaying all of mine, except for my pain medication.  I have to pay in advance, or they won’t deliver them to me.
