Because I slept so poorly Saturday night I was completely fried last night by 7:00. I was in bed by 7:30, and I slept very well. Thatch's new game, beginning aropund 3:00, is to jump onto the bed and run at a fast clip up to me, throw himself onto his side and cuddle next to me. Once I've gone back to sleep, he leaves in search of the litter box or a kibble bowl so that he can, shortly after that, barrel headlong back to the bed and repeat his cuddling procedure. Annabelle, around 4:30 or 5:00, decided to crawl under the blanklets to get warn, and just before the alarm rang at 5:30, Stella decided she wanted some love and a cuddle.

I've got a day of hell or near-hell here today. Dentist in the morning, to prep for a crown, then back later in the afternoon when it's ready to be put in. And a rehearsal tonight. And waiting to hear which day (could be as soon as tomorrow) that the remaining work will be done in the house.

Naturally, with all of this and more going on, I woke up in the middle of the night and only got back to sleep a few brief times. And boy do I hate that. But that's the way I am when there's so much going on.

Trying to remain calm and aloof in advance of tomorrow.

Listening to news, you "hear" them say they are for Harris, but it's Trump, Trump, Trump, clips of Trump, Trump, Trump, and more and more and more Trump, Trump, Trump.

Who are they kidding?   

I know they "think" they are showing him at his worst, but his crowds are cheering, he's a very effective "entertainer" who thrives on lies and adulation.

If it weren't for the excessive media coverage of his every word and gesture, the outcome of tomorrow's vote would not be a question mark at this point...in my opinion.

It was an easy route, if I could get to I-10, but all of the signs leading there had been purposefully changed. I ended in a used closing store, a scary warehouse and who knows where all else and realized it was a plot.

 Well, hold onto your hats! Here's today's phone call story.

About a month ago, I got a call from a Kyle Anderson with the Federal Trade Commission. I returned his call, left a message, and thought no more about it. Last week he left me another message, and I again called and left him one. Thirty minutes ago, he called, and we spoke. He told me that, according to his records, I was a Publishers Clearing House winner in December 2022, and they want to klnow if I accept or decline the win. I told him that I stopped believing in PCH sweepstakes and that I had been for the past 15-20 years tossing out their mail.

DR singdaw you are 100% correct - being retired and going shopping when everyone else is at work is wonderful.

My local WalMart also has sensory friendly times times from 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. where no music is played, the lights are dimmed, and folks are encouraged to shop quietly.   :-X

Fell back asleep. Dreamt a weird dream that a Mom was with a volunteered to have me drive a young mother from church and her two daughters in their smartcar north from downtown. It was an easy route, if I could get to I-10, but all of the signs leading there had been purposefully changed. I ended in a used closing store, a scary warehouse and who knows where all else and realized it was a plot.


Sounds scary!

Watching an oldie called Thunder in the East. Alan Ladd isn arms dealer. Deborah Kerr is a blind British woman. It’s set in Ghandahar, which is now Kandahar, Afghanistan. So wrongheaded these days with the hindsight of history. Still is fairly intriguing as a Hollywood artifact.

Well, hold onto your hats! Here's today's phone call story.

About a month ago, I got a call from a Kyle Anderson with the Federal Trade Commission. I returned his call, left a message, and thought no more about it. Last week he left me another message, and I again called and left him one. Thirty minutes ago, he called, and we spoke. He told me that, according to his records, I was a Publishers Clearing House winner in December 2022, and they want to klnow if I accept or decline the win. I told him that I stopped believing in PCH sweepstakes and that I had been for the past 15-20 years tossing out their mail.

Is this for real??

The FTC, according to them, would not call you about winning a prize. The Peter Klein Sterling Law Group site REEKS of being fake. If you DO talk to them, the second they ask you for ANY information at all or say that you have to pay ANYTHING to get the prize (taxes in advance, a fee, ANYTHING) it's a SCAM and do not do it. There are hundreds of variations on Publisher's Clearing House scams and this sounds like the latest. BE CAREFUL.

Unusual story about Kecia Lewis, Tony winner in the Broadway show HELL'S KITCHEN, leveling accusations against Patti LuPone (now in the Broadway show THE ROOMMATE)

"Kecia Lewis Says Patti LuPone Committed 'Microaggressions' Against Hell's Kitchen. The Roommate Producers Respond"
Lewis' comments came after the sound design for the Alicia Keys jukebox musical was changed for being "too loud."

Sorry sometime “ too loud” just means it’s too damn LOUD!!!

Late entry for the TOD.

Available on DVD and maybe streaming somewhere....SON OF FURY from FOX in 1942.

Wonderful performances by Tyrone Power and Gene Tierney....but especially for the supporting performances of George Sanders and Frances Farmer.

Now, on a more pleasant note: Ann and Jen just left after giving me an hour of their time to assemble my new table and remove the old one. It's quite sturdy and handsome.

Started watching the Met's production of Glass's Satyagraha. The movie sic is hypnotic.

If that's the one that was shown on PBS, I recorded that and really enjoyed it.

I could never get into Einstein on the Beach (I think it was too minimalist for me), but for some reason I love both Akhnaten and Satyagraha.

I got it on sale.  The list price is $19.95, and there was a sale to bring it down to $16.78, and then there was ANOTHER 30% off coupon through Amazon, so that the total (before tax and with free shipping) was only $11.75! 
Title: Re: THE WENDING OF SUNDAY INTO MERRY MONDAY

Tax was only $1.14 which made the grand total only $12.89. :D

One of the more eye-opening comments from Quincy Jones in an obit was when he talked about going danving with Marlon Brando, who, according to Jones, slept with James Baldwin and Marvin Gaye as well as Richard Pryor.

Oh, my! ;)
