It was not a good night of sleep. All three cats decided to join me. They behaved. My legs did not. I went to bed around 9:30, slept very well, woke up thinking it was probably around 2:00 or so.

I checked the alarm; it was 11:42. The rest of the night continued in that vein.

Not opening night, but I saw it on the big screen at the BRUIN in Westwood, which sadly has just closed for an indeterminate renovation (hopefully) for an indeterminate period of time.

My day yesterday was fraught with excitement (another word I haven't used in a very long time -- "fraught").

I picked up my mail, took a trunk load of disposables to the recycling center, visited my local optometrist to have my glasses repaired (one of those nose thingies had broken off), made an appointment for two weeks from now, then drove to McDonald's in Edgefield and got two quarter pounders, a large fries and a large Dr. Pepper. 

Drove home, feasted, napped and the rest of the day just sort of slipped by.

I truly do not believe I can endure another day of such excitement, but it's early yet.

DR singdaw's notification that this is National Whistleblower's Day reminded me of the horrible time when Don-OLD Trump made a huge fuss about someone testifying in secret to Congress about something he had done.  Trump was furious, demanded to know who it was and thought the "whistleblower" anonymity that was Congressionally sanctioned should be done away with.

Don-OLD has passed his expiration date.

And our musical director has thrown a big ol' monkey wrench into the first rehearsal - someone in his temple died and the celebration of life is on Monday and he wants to leave by four and I guess he thinks we can just move all those people earlier - which is not possible because those people needed to come from four on. So, now we have to scramble and see if he and all the post-four people can come on Tuesday. What he SHOULD do is honor his long-standing commitment because it involves about eight people.

And I have changed my mind. Tonight I will NOT be going down to Bedford to see Witness. Some disagreement about costumes, I suppose. Wait. That's not right. No, what happened is that even though I'm feeling fine, I expended a lot of energy working outside in sweltering heat, ran a couple of errands, and I no longer have the desire to go out, especially when it's a 50-minute drive each way. So that's that. I'm glad I made that decision.

It’s 95 outside. It feels like it’s 58 in this testing room.

That is way too cold.

I have started listening to Bach and the High Baroque, a Great Classes series of lectures. It's 25 hours long with each lecture being about 45 minutes. After three I am hooked.

Sad thing is, I don't have 25 hours.

Today was truly unremarkable.

Went to the post office.  Went to The Triangle (Don't Be Square Eat At The Triangle) and got pork chops.  That was unusual, because Tuesdays are hamburger steak with onions entree days.  Pork Chops most often happen on Wednesdays.

Oh, well.

Came home and that was that.  Didn't even nap today.

And heat.  Lots of heat.  Plus humidity.
