Well, you've read the notes, the notes slaved over a hot notes, and now it is time for you to post until the slaving hot cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: HEARTSTRING!
-
Good morning, all!

Another lousy night of sleep, only this one was truly positiverly lousy. I was awake for several hours before I dozed off. I had Thatch and Annabelle with me, and those two cats taske up 90% of the bed. I couldn't get comfortable, and I couldn't find any cool place to settle in. At some point I woke and neede3d to find a new pillow and spot since the sheet and pillow I was sleeping on were very wet with sweat.
-
Today, hot and humid with heavy rains coming in. Oh, joy.
-
I'm back to my overture today. I discovered that I am missing a song I need, and that's unsettling since I have no money before Wednesday, Aug. 17, when the Social Security lands.
-
Last night we watched Downton Abbey: A New Era. It looks great on the new TV, but I can neither hear half of what they're saying nor can I turn the TV volume any higher.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
:)
-
Good morning, all.
-
A less than spectacular night of sleep here, too. I got a second wind going (don't ask me where the first wind had gone) and was awake till nearly 2:30, and I woke up every couple of hours after that.
-
Coffee and a blueberry bagel, toasted, one half buttered and the other half cream cheesed.
-
Friday. And I got nothing for the TOD.
This situation will hopefully change for the better by this evening.
-
I can say that most of today and the overnight are Orson Welles movies on TCM, should that be your bent. I expect to indulge in a little of that myself.
The last one is CHIMES OF MIDNIGHT at 2:00 am on the eastern seaboard.

Good morning!

Good night of sleep. 8.5 hours.

I took the day off because of too much to do before tomorrow’s competition.

~~~TWINKLE TOES VIBES~~~ for DR John G. for tomorrow!!!!!!

More coffee!!
-
Oh, here it is. Thank you.

HA! The patented HHW vibes have worked and last night's dress rehearsal was okay+.
Considering what Wednesday was like - I'll take it.
I have a telephonic appointment with my oncologist at 9 a.m. It is now 9:25 a.m. He didn't call for the last one either.....this is the rescheduled one.
I am going to get a complex.

I was a major slug-a-bed this morning. I was in bed by 10:30 p.m. last night, and I arose at 9:25 a.m. today.
Ooof.
-
I am guessing no one here is watching Big Brother 24, but last night's episode was odd and disconcerting.
It was eviction night, but they spent the first 35 minutes of the hour-long show going over all the mundane discussion about who was going to vote how, etc.
BB24 watchers already KNEW how it would turn out. I guess CBS wanted us to start doubting the outcome. As predicted, the eviction vote was 9 to 1. The 1 voter for the evicted person is very very bitter now. He feels deceived. It's a good comeback for some of the nastiness he has inserted into the house...he and the evicted.

How CAN it be Friday?
I mean...REALLY?

But then you saw the light.

What do you call the kind of rhyme in "Dora the Explorer" where it only works if you play with the pronunciation of the second word?
-
Is that a "false rhyme"?
-
DR RON PULLIAM I had to give up on Big Brother....as I've written before Julie Chen is not a favorite in this household of one....and they always choose the most irritating and abrasive people to live in the house - which is probably the point.
I just keep wondering if ANY of the dolts realize where the title of the show is a reference to Orwell's 1984?
-
This may be too big.

DR TCB I m glad you still had your lunch with Sharry.

From DR TCB:
We hadn’t seen each other in a couple of months. I was going to buy a box of those name tags that say: HELLO, MY NAME IS
Funny.
If our hotel in Milwaukee had name tags, at Craig's suggestion, we would have worn them for Freyja as a joke. It really was funny that she called us Persons.

I have a friend who is on a cruise in Norway. She has posted many photos of onboard and ashore events.
Today, I asked her to look for Norwegian navy ships that might be docked near her. I told her to look for the bar codes on the dock sides of the ships, because those codes are how they keep track of when the ships are in port. Each time one docks, they Scandinavian.

Can I just say how much I detest the phrase "do me a solid," as in, do me a favor?
So do I .
I also hate “ no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” unless what you’re thanking someone for really WAS an inconvenience.

How are you feeling today, Vixmom?

You’re welcome.

I extend a laurel, and hearty agreement, to both of those!

I’m feeling much better, I’m apparently hogging all the good sleep as I’ve been either comatose or dozing most of the past 24 hours

Vixmomsherpa has gone out to pickup some chicken rice soup and steamed vegetable dumplings for me from our favorite Chines takeaway

Vixsherpa is of course based in Florida where he dotes on my daughter, bless him.

Hello, everyone! No word today from Ohio, whhich makes going into the weekend all that more angina-provoking. Two months ago, I thought we had a slam dunk.

I just finished a bowl of chili. This last batch I made is the best in some time, so I'm very happy with it.

Glad you are safe for now, DR Jane.
Thank you.

All the time, DR Jane. The only situation where it might be appropriate is when a parent is toilet-training their toddler.

I shall now be on my way to the sitzprobe......which I learned all about here on HHW and it is the first time in the 61 year history of Putnam County Playhouse that such a thing has happened.....many cast members were puzzled as to what it was......so.....I am learning them things about theeder.

Don't you just love schadenfreude:
A jury finds Infowars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones should pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim (https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/08/05/media/alex-jones-punitive-damages-sandy-hook/index.html).
;D
-
The second paragraph says:
The award, which the judge could reduce*, came one day after the jury settled on $4.1 million in compensatory damages.
*Sadly. ::)

So inactive

That one has to lie down.

I have some butternut squash that needs to be cooked this weekend, before it goes soft.

I once had one that fell out of the grocery bag into the back of the car.

Unbeknownst to me.

Its scent revealed itself

I have never had a cat flop on a watermellon.

That's how you know it's ripe, DR Jane. ;)

A little earlier, I finished listening to the original Broadway Cast recording of Ragtime.
-
I don't know many people busier than you and DR Jrand71, between work and theatre and stuff.
-
And now, I'm listening to the original Broadway cast recording of She Loves Me.
-
I love this show!
-
How long does the one-act run?
-
I love this show!
I think it is my overall favorite, as a show in total.
-
Considering book, music, and lyrics.
-
Hello, everyone.

I had acupuncture today, then went to the little salad/soup/sandwich/juice bar.

I've been listening to The People in the Picture. I really enjoy the CD, but would like to see the show. Not likely. ;-(

I have not heard that phrase. I am not in a with-it set.

So do I .
I also hate “ no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” unless what you’re thanking someone for really WAS an inconvenience.
The phrase I've always disliked is "sorry 'bout that" said in a snippy manner, which suggests they aren't sorry at all, and negates any apology therein.

;D
No amount of money, IMHO, is enough. No punishment is enough. Jones's attorney suggested $270,000, plus the parents would appear on the TV show. All I can do is shake my head. I can't even think of a word to describe their behavior.
-
Happy Summer Dance!
At first I thought that was another cake. ;D
-
I once had one that fell out of the grocery bag into the back of the car.
That happened to me once. A melon was rolling around in the trunk of my car. What's that noise? Of course, I thought something was wrong with the car. No. Just a loose melon.

Good weekend vibes to you all.

Typically I don't read the notes in the morning and wait until later in the day.
-
Had I read them sooner, and seen the TOD, I would not have spent most of the day thinking it was Saturday ;D

This afternoon Keith mentioned he didn't want to go to the gym tomorrow, which totally confused me since we rarely go on a Sunday. Once he explained my error my first thought was "I should have read the notes".
-
The only good thing to happen during covid was that Keith found a nice Schwinn bike for his office,

He will use this tomorrow while I take a long walk here.

Yesterday the temps were slightly cool, for me.

Today the weather was perfect.

Tomorrow I shall have to walk early before it gets too hot.

Good evening.

My daughter's boss, who tested positive for covid this week, came into work today coughing and complaining that water tastes funny. She wanted to get things done before the weekend.
-
So I expect that my daughter, who has been the most careful person I know, will be sick by Sunday.
-
They have no Plan B if someone gets sick at the office. If they all get sick, I guess they will be instructed to come in anyway.

That's a lot of dancing!
-
DR JEANNE and DR singdaw the same thing happened to me but it was a bottle of vodka......when I finally found it, I used it only for mixed drinks.
-
der Sitzprobe was proclaimed a success by one and all and the singing sounded really good.
We ran the act one finale and the act two finale and I still have to fix one 16 measure section.....but that will be easy.
Saturday is very close and I don't have to drive down to the theeder tomorrow....so!
-
Just have to work on the bio slide show and get the story uploaded to the website and Facebook pages.....but I can do that AT HOME.....
-
Page 8 time to go to bed dance.
-
Oh....and our Pharaoh has skinny legs. And his costume was kind of a Egyptian sequined skirt and plunging neckline top....sort of like a jump suit.....but he is - to be kind - pear shaped.
So tonight I took the white pair of pants I had from my John Travolta suit that I wore once in the local Dancing With The Stars contest (I didn't win)......and they fit him so he now looks much better.
My AD said to me....."It's not many men you make look sexier by putting pants on them....."
But she is right....
-
;D
-
Just have to work on the bio slide show
If it's all the same to you, I'd rather NOT send you my bio and then complain about the final result.

This is community theater, after all.

Go Go Go, Joseph!

My aunt was a nutritionist, and she loves owls. Maybe I need to re-create this:
-
We ate out tonight. One of the specials, which we ordered, was a buttermilk chicken/minted watermelon salad.
It sounds like a kind of a crazy combination, but it was truly delicious. As were the pesto gnocchi.
I am WAY too full.
-
The gay men's chorus program was broadcast on the local PBS station tonight. That is taped for later weekend viewing.
-
Hope your daughter is OK, DR Laura. That is upsetting.
-
I am glad that DR vixmom was able to get the paxlovid so easily. I wonder if that is easily obtainable now, or if there are supply chain issues with that.
-
I think that's a wrap for me.
-
But wishing DR John G. stamina and fortitude to run the gauntlet tomorrow.

Good night, friends.
-
And 27 guests. I kid you not.

Good night, all.

I went to pick up a prescription today, but before I left, I called RiteAid and asked them to put to boxes of CoVid tests for me. When I got there, when she was ringing me up, she asked if I knew they were $9.95 each.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
Believe it.
-
Or not.
-
She said my insurance denied payment for them. I asked her if there was still five tests per box. But, she said “Oh no, there is only one test per box!”
-
I didn’t take either box.
