Well, you've read the notes, the notes were 70s before Star Wars, and now it is time for you to post until the 70s cows come home.

I may, or may not, get my flu shot today.

I am way behind in getting it, but I figure it's best to do it before I have all my Thanksgiving week/weekend excursions hither and thither....and yon.

I am especially looking forward to yon, and I do not wish to be sick when i go there or get sick upon my return.

My thoughts are that today I shall sally forth and take recyclables to our recycle center, stop off at State Farm and pay my house policy, and then I shall drive to Aiken and get the danged flu shot at the VA.

From there, who knows.  Perhaps a stop at The Fresh Market or Sam's Club.

Or, I may just put that all off until another day.

I only saw The Eiger Sanction once, and not even in first run. I do remember a couple of intriguing scenes and should give it a look.

I'm thinking it's one I saw at the Writers Guild on Doheny for a buck. Maybe it was two bucks. I could walk there from my apartment, and enjoyed a number of cheap evenings doing so.

The latest is that Mom has been sleeping since she got back to her room.

Is this a good thing?  Are they watching her carefully?

The hospital found no signs of concussion. They said it was OK. She has had a caregiver with her

Then sleep is good for her.  Vibes she doesn't fall again.

Yesterday I FINALLY took my filthy car to the car wash, only to find that it was CLOSED. What?! Several of the guys who work there were hanging around.

Me: You’re closed??

Him: we’re closed. It’s going to rain tomorrow!

I asked one of them if he could do a hand wash.

Him2: yes, yes.

Me: How much?

Him2: 80.

Me: No.

Yesterday it was sunny and today we’ve just had a light rain, off and on. I do not understand this.

So my car 🚗  remains filthy. I did run an errand today, but missed whatever rain we had.

The soloist is Russian soprano Venera Gimadieva.  She is beautiful and delivers the vocal brilliantly.

Which meant I paid $4 less than I normally do with the insurance copay

That is very kind of you, DR vixmom.

Not at all. I love WFO. We’ve been friends for 45 years or so. I stop and have a visit most nights on my way home from work. I very much look forward to my visits

I went out in search of Christmas lights.

Lights that someone else has already put out for display?

Or lights for your own use and edification?

For decorating my house. Had a lot of light strands fail me last year.

Ah, so.  Once upon a time, I did exterior lights.  Unhappily, my house electrical system could not quite handle the load of a fully decorated cedar tree outdoors and all my indoor lights.

Nothing major happened other than having switches shut off.  I sacrificed the lit tree for the lit house.

It wasn't truly surprising since I was living in Italy at the time, and houses were not equipped for heavy electrical loads.

Back from the brush-up - I gave a couple of tiny notes before we began and then after act one, I adjusted one bit of blocking and corrected one line that's always said wrong, plus asked the four people doing backup on See the Light to not let it get sloppy. I left after the opening of act two - not enjoyable for me to see this without an audience anymore.
