I had a very lousy night of sleep.  My left ankle is driving me mad and I don;t have a pain med strong enough to dull the pain.  It's got me worried about being out this morning, and I'll admit I do not want to go.

The cats seem happy this morning, and that makes me happy.  They all ate, and Annabelle and Thatch have been wrestling.  Stella is fascinated by this food delivery yesterday and seems determined to break into the carton.  When I get back from this ultrasound, I'll pitch everything.

Well, this has been one of my most horrible days in some time!  To begin my appointment was for tomorrow!  The nice young lady who admitted me checked the schedule and I was seen at 9:30 today.  The entire ultrasound experience was one of the most exposed, uncomfortable, and embarrassing during which the technician kept moving my legs in more an d more uncomfortable positions.  When it was over, my legs were in such pain I could barely stand or walk.

I'll do it because I don't want to wait until August to have my dental appointment, which would be eight months since my last appointment, instead of the normal six months.

Booking our next 6 month appointment turned into 7 months.  It is a bit more complicated booking for us as we do our appointments at the same time, still I think they are still playing catch up.

My dental hygienist wants me to come back in four months because I've had some excessive tartar build-up and in a way that hasn't happened in a long time.  I got a rinse that I need to use for a week (and no more!) that should help.  Hopefully, I won't need to get the deep cleaning.  I've actually had that done once before.  Because of the numbing gel, it wasn't horrible.

My dental plan allows two appointments within a calendar year, so if/when I need one earlier than usual, I can get one without any trouble (unless they were in January, then June, and then October is needed).  So now, my next appointment is in October instead of December.  If everything is okay then, the next appointment will be some time in April, then October again.

I've done that, use Manwich and add some things. Peppers, onions, and even some garlic.

Never thought about having it on a tortilla. The cheese, though -- if you have it on a bun with cheese, you're in Lums territory. Did you have Lums restaurants back in the day? Lumburger with cheese? That was a huge thing for me in my high school years.

The group number is now mixed - but one of our singers found a boy replacement and he says he'll have it to me by this evening, so he'll get mixed into the track, which is easy.

On our afternoon walk we saw a couple we haven't seen since early February.  We were all happy to see each other and know we were well.  They have continued to walk regularly we just haven't crossed paths probably because the mosquitoes have been keeping us from that walk in the evenings.  The other day the city sprayed the area, still Keith was bitten twice.

Finishing up the Danish Chess recording. Many changes. Some work. But they rewrote perhaps my favorite lyric near the end: "Not to be too wise/Not to realize/Where there's truth, there will be lies" has become "... There was truth and there were lies." Ouch.

Perhaps the biggest change is that Anatoly wins the big match at the end of the show. Freddie has won it in every other production.

Got the video from the last guy, who then made the bad mistake of emailing me right after he sent it, telling me he didn't really know what it was for (I'm pretty sure the gal who recruited him told him about the show) and that he needed more information about how we were going to use "his work" - I kid you not, folks - "his work."  And he said his manager would be in touch.  Said manager was copied.  I responded instantly with a history of the shows, whose been in them, who they're talking to (me) and what the online shows are benefitting and who the cast is for this show.  I also said VERY strongly, that if there were ANY issues that I needed to know right now because we're starting to put this together.  Well, right now was an hour ago.  In the meantime, I'm pretty sure this fellow was part of the Sterling's singing contest and that I judged him.  I also looked at his resume, which is all college productions and NOTHING else.  And in a nutshell, this is what's wrong with this generation of performers.  The entitlement is breathtaking.  This neophyte has a MANAGER?  And I'm supposed to deal with the MANAGER?  Funny, I'm not dealing with Emily Skinner's manager or Christiane Noll's manager or Liz Callaway's manager and funny I didn't deal with Lauren Bacall's manager or Elaine Stritch's manager or Dorothy Loudon's manager.  So, if they haven't responded by nine, they're out and I will have to write another e-mail about the why of that and why it's not a good idea at the beginning of a career to piss off someone who can actually help them.

Yes, you are talented!  Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, there were more theater groups, abd more groups in general put on concerts and benefits.  I was involved in an annual AIDS benefit for 11 years in a row!
