I don't know where my mind was last night when I set the alarm, but I set it for 5:10, 5:20, and 5:40am.  I kept turning it off, thinking WTF?, and going back to bed with A & T. When it rang at 6:00, I decide it was time to start moving. Beyond that, I slept well. Around 3:30 I needed a bathroom break, aqnd when I got back to bed, I couldn't get back to sleep because of next week's surgery concerns.

I had a curiously rocky night of sleep, partly due to trying to get the AC temperature just right in our new heat wave, a bathroom visit or two, and a couple of weird dreams -- one of which has completely escaped me, but the last one was a mish-mash of a musical-gig-related conversation and a snow-covered Brooklyn landscape.

Postage problem fixed. This was a technical glitch on their end, but the helper, instead of just calling about it, kept trying to get the charge to go through - like twenty times, which caused them to block the card. I called, we got the card enabled, and she had to log out and log back in and all was well - and from now on if she gets that error message again, all she has to do is log out/log in.

I used to have really bad fall allergies. Then they abated for a long time. The last few days, though, have been a bit difficult. Not a return to the previous misery, but enough to be uncomfortable. I wonder if this is a particularly bad year.

I hope not.  With the change of weather my allergies are bothering me.

Interestingly, if you sort the comments by date, this is the newest comment, from three days ago:

The lifts are impressive, and the ballerina has nice lines (though a bit over-extended to be classically beautiful). Moreover, the tricks aren’t really called for musically, and generally speaking, the musicianship of both the ballerina and the orchestra doesn’t have much nuance…they might as well be dancing to a metronome. Choreographically, it’s clever but it’s not really sensitive to the music. But as others have said, the acrobatics are excellent.

It is, of course, just one person's opinion.
