At 8:00 I began watching my weekly Midsomer Murders, only to find it was one I've seen around 7-10 times already, so around 8:30 the cats and I turned in. I slept rather well. The temperatures dropped a lopt last night. Annabellella slept in the bathroom, since it was the only warm room in the apartment, thanks to the heating pipe. Thatch came to cuddle with me amd I buried him between Grandma;s quilt and the bedspread where he seemed quite content. Unlike Annabelle, he doesn't like lying next to me under all the blankets.
-
To answer all inquiring minds, Stella did come home. Unlike Annabelle, Stella is capable of finding her way back home, and after about 30 minutes in the cold hallway, she was happy to return to the apartment.
-
I've got more trash to tote to the basement this morning, so I hope I can escape the apartment without Stella interference.
-
Yesterday afternoon, I watched an Amazon Prime movie, The Holiday Exchange a gay Hallmark movie, written by, and starring, one of the 2009 revival of Finian's Rainbow cast members, Taylor Frey. The movie also featured Joa Aaron Reid, who was also in the 2009 revival. The movie was fun, and I enjoyed Taylor's performance and writing.
-
DR elmore3003 - maybe you could put Stella in the bathroom momentarily when needing to go out of the apartment.
-
DR Jrand74, I hope your psychic friends are right about DJ Tramp's presidential hopes. I don't think JD Vance would havbe a successful term as president any more than the current MAGA Moron Speaker of the Ho's as his VP.
On another topic, I would be delighted to star in anytthing with you.
-
DR elmore3003 - maybe you could put Stella in the bathroom momentarily when needing to go out of the apartment.
Maybe I'll catch the wind while I'm at it! :D
-
Yesterday, I posted about Stella's escape at the height of my frustration and anger: it took three phone calls and two additional deliveries before the Amazon Fresh order was completely delivered. I posted that my lifew was pretty shitty since June 2020. Before that appendectomy and cancer surgery on June 1, 2020, I was walking successfully with a cane andf I still had my balance. I could manage stairs and not have to crawl up them. Things took longer to accomplish, but I wasn't afraid of getting out and about. Now, I find stairs a terrifying obstacle, I'm afraid of falling, and I am terrified - as I was on Friday when Stelescaped as I was trying to get the laundry out of the apartment - to be stuck on that walker in the open with no other support.
I dpn't admire self-pity and yet I feel I'm exhibiting nothing but that.

I have a short video of Leonard on Facebook. I believe I made it visible to just people on here. I posted it last week.
-
Leonard is too smart to play with toys. The only thing he likes are shoelaces. Anything else he quickly abandons. And he gives me a "You've got to be kidding" look when I give him a toy.

He would probably play with a yardstick under a newspaper page. But who gets a newspaper any more?

Turns out, I HAD a 40% off coupon for UberEats - so, after ponderous thought, I ordered from LaLa's Argentine Grill. Haven't been there in over a decade, maybe more. Used to go all the time. Prices have doubled since the last time I was there, that's how long it's been. I ordered a chicken breast champignon thing - a light cream sauce and mushrooms sits atop the chicken. Comes with a little salad. As I said in my Yelp review back in the day - I always lose weight when I eat at LaLa's.

I sent it to Keith. Knowing I probably only read the article and had not listened to it, he said I needed to listen and complimented your voice. He was right, it was even better. I usually prefer reading vs struggling to hear every word said. It was not a problem for me at all and it was wonderful hearing your voice.

Good evening.
-
I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip, Ginny. Maybe New Year's Eve.
-
There were so many kids out this morning. I have lots of cookies left over.
-
I made enough for the kids at church, plus some to give to my neighbors. And now I'll still have a bunch left over. I will take them Christmas Eve and let anyone take them.
-
The saguaro with lights looked better in my mind. I think the electric lines needs to swoop, and there need to be fewer lines.
-
The little neighbor girl came over with a large cup, asking for flour. I'm looking forward to giving them their Christmas gift of baking equipment. I'll probably need to give them more flour, too.
-
And I made Pizza Beans for lunch. Very tasty.
-
Because, you know, I'm right on top of all the latest trends.
-
That was a very sweet story, Rodzinski.

I expect they will be appreciated.

It looked tasty. Did you use the recipe Jose put on your FB page or create your own recipe?
-
Because, you know, I'm right on top of all the latest trends.

Some people refer to the pads on cat's toes as "beans."

But those would not be pizza beans.

Here’s a story you may have heard from me before, but I was able to tell my full version finally after a Birmingham reporter had botched it some time ago. If you don’t want to read, you can also listen to my expanded audio version linked at top.

Thank you, wow. That was my coworker’s idea, the guy who introduced me. He was like, we should do this as a bonus podcast.

That was a very sweet story, Rodzinski.
I appreciate that, Laura!

Just finished making an Oreo cookie Christmas house with Lil Rodzette.
-
She earlier walked into the garage and caught Mrs Rodz in mid-present wrapping mode. I think I was able to convince her those were presents from family.

Oh, Oh. I guess that is why I wrapped gifts when the kids were at school or very late at night ;D
-
It reminds me of the time my mother put my sister & I to work wrapping gifts. We were rather shocked to find many of those gifts under the tree with our names on them :))

You want a NY Times book review, write a book with "Sondheim" on the cover. You'll get reviewed AND you might even make the cover.
-
I think my next book will be entitled My Close Personal Friend, Mr. Stephen Sondheim. What do you think?
-
Chicken champignon was very good. One chicken breast. It came with mashed potatoes, but I only took a couple of bites.
-
Ah, the page that shall not be named.

Since I had Argentinian food, maybe I'll watch the original movie that the French remade one year later - The Accused.
-
I have lots of stuff in my "to watch" pile.
-
Ginny, I am so sorry you had to cancel your plans.
Thanks, DR John G. I took out my frustrations by kneading some shortbread cookie dough and making cut-outs. We’ll decorate them Christmas Eve morning while listening to Lessons and Carols from England.

DR Ginny I know too well the disappointment you are feeling.
-
I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip, Ginny. Maybe New Year's Eve.
Thank you, DR Laura. Maybe not that soon because they’re going to see the other grandparents. But whenever it is we have something special to do.
On New Year’s Eve 1999, while Richard and I were out, Rob (then 14) and my mother put together a Y2K “time capsule” in a large tin that popcorn had come in. She typed a note that it was to be opened in 25 years, so now’s the time. Rob took it to his house when we moved and we want to open it together.
-
This must be a cherished memory for Rob. This truly is something special to look forward to doing together.

We were going to buy a generator for our Ashland home in the country but the prices trippled. We never did get one and we survived all outages over the years. Fortunately none were too extensive like we had in Michigan.

We probably need a generator. It’s just so easy to keep not buying one.

I love the idea of a time capsule, Ginny. That's very exciting!
-
When we sold our old church building, they removed the time capsule that was placed under the cross. One of the items inside was a note from the pastor's teenage son. He's now one of the older guys in the congregation.
-
When we built the new church, we placed a time capsule. In addition to a newsletter and bulletin and other such stuff, I placed a DVD and a CD and attached a note explaining what they were. Technology changes so quickly that no one will know what they are someday.

Watching Black Nativity. It’s become a favorite of min. It’s a little simplistic, but the music is effective, and Jennifer Hudson gives a moving performance.

Nice story on Alan Mencken. Hard to believe he’s 75 already. Looking forward to the Nancy Drew musical mentioned.
-
Good night, all.

Finished with my viewing - very good documentary on Callas by Tony Palmer, one of the best at these types of things. I couldn't take more than about thirty minutes of Ms. Jolie.

Where is George and his Jamburrito?

Glavanting around town, I have no doubt.

Certainly, I am the only human here.

At this time.

Guess I'll take a quick shower right about now.
-
Or maybe I'll wait until I post the notes.
-
Maybe that's best - it relaxes me before bedtime.

Tick tock, goes the clock.
-
Soon, I promise.

Soon, we will turn the page.

Even without George and His Jamburrito.

Nothing can stop us now.

I think the A Broadway Christmas album came out really well and it's the one I play at all the Dos, softly in the background. I get quite a few messages from folks every Christmas saying it's their favorite. A Hollywood Christmas, while not quite as successful for me, also has some really good tracks on it.
I love them both. :)
