I finished watching Pride and Prejudice last night before the cats and I settled in for the night. Today I have no plans except to laze around. Tomorrow I plan to stay busy making pasta sauce, tidying up ther apartment, and staying far as possible away from any TV cxoverage of the Coronation of the Fat Orange Felon. I've watched the scumbag swear on the Bible to uphold the law and the Constitution, and I have no irge to see the little Adolph lie to his a-hole followers again. I'd only go near a TV tomorrow if I were promised I'd see John Wilkes Booth blow off his orange face.

Speaking of last night's Pride and Prejudice, I really like Carl Davis' score for the series. He does some lovely things with the themes from the opening credits. and at one point he turns Mozart's "Voi che sapete" from Le Nozze di Figaro into a romantic late-night walk through Pemberly.

I really should go out and get the few things at the supermarket that I thought of getting yesterday but put them off till today.

Could I do without them? Yes. I'd just rather know they're here.

Actually, I just thought of a couple of things I need from Costco, too. Damn.

~~SHOPPING VIBES~~~ for DR ChasSmith. No doubt others will be shopping, too, ahead of the storm.

Thank you, DR singdaw, but I gave it more thought and convinced myself that I really do not need those few things. Which is the truth. Ruth. I'll be fine getting out to Costco tomorrow afternoon after the cleanup or even on Tuesday. The HELL with it. Right? Right.

I will have to go out to the garage later and make sure the snowblower and everything is ready to go. Ugh. The thought of it. Yep, we've been spoiled.

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook.

"On social media, one user posted: “MAGA doesn’t realize the symbolism of [Trump] moving the inauguration inside: The billionaires, millionaires and oligarchs will be at his side, while his loyal followers are left outside in the cold. Welcome to the next 4+ years.”
By the way - the weather for Donald Trump’s inauguration is expected to be in the 20s - the same as it was for President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration. So, why move it indoors? And the non-refunded $200 million for the inauguration that WAS, but now is NOT open to the public?
Will the theme of this administration be “thanks, suckers”?
Time will tell."

I started a new book yesterday, The Safekeep. It was shortlisted for a Booker. Written by a Dutch author. I'm not getting into it. Psychosexual drama linked to the aftermath of World War II. I don't like the characters, especially the frigid lesbian at the center of it all.

It was supposed to get up to 46 today. It's only 41 now. I don't think it'll make it.

It's 37°F here right now, and is only supposed to get up to 41°.

It is also 37 here.

Muse Margaret called thirty minutes ago. Twenty-six books, and this is the first time she has never had one single note. I was really hoping she liked the last batch of pages but I wasn't sure - but she loved them. I'm a very happy writer. So, on we go to proofing after I do my first pass and clean up a few things that got adjusted later in the book that now have to adjust in the first part of the book.

This photo was taken in 1946.  The guy is Ken Shimizu.  He is 35 years old with two children.  Shimizu never runs, sleeps late, eats whatever he wants, even drink beer instead of water.  He eats dinner with many kinds of food every night.

What does Shimizu do to get such a body?  Shimizu doesn't have any secrets.  Shimizu is the person sitting in the bottom left corner of the photo.  As for the man standing in the middle, I'm not sure who that is.....
