You are, anyway.

I am going to valiantly struggle to get my two 14 disc boxed set reviews finished today. This evening is the recording session for Pacific Pops' "heavy metal" concert. The 12 year old guitarist friend of Gabe's I enlisted to play guitar, after telling me for a week he had been practicing, had his mother call us last night to inform us that in actuality he had lost the music and had not been practicing. Oy. So I have nascent feelings of disaster about the recording session tonight.

Nascent Feelings of Disaster is, of course, the title of the next Pacific Pops session.

I received a PM this morning here, but it did not alert me that there was a new message - is that a preference I need to set? It did alert me the last time I got one, which was on the new board, so I'm not sure why it didn't this time.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I slept in (again) today. -I blame the rain.

I think I found it - I ticked the box that said show popup when you have new messages. But how did I receive the popup before? Maybe things reset when we were hacked.

The notification could just be running slow. -Or check your Spam folder, just in case.

I got a notification via e-mail, that's not the prob. Normally when you get a PM here you get a notification when you come to the board - a pop-up window. It's always been there, even on the new board, but when I went into the PM settings of my profile, the pop-up box wasn't ticked.

Well, you can also just check the message status listing at the top of each page. -If you see that "# are New", then you know you have a message.

It was a very short stay in Toyland and I've already made the fixes and adjustments in my various reports. Now it's time to walk up to physical therapy. The HMO referral arrived via fax so all is well.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were an experience, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently at Costco buying huge things of cud.

Speaking as one who grew up in a farming community, the idea of "huge things of cud" is enough to make me want to vomit on the ground.

Good morning all. Toby and played a few rounds of an amusing game of "who can stay awake longer" last night. Current score: Toby - 3, Mommy - zip. We begin by getting into a semi-comfortable position in bed to nurse...and I sit in the dark and hope he falls asleep and I can move him ever-so-carefully on to his bed beside me, and then roll over myself. Two hours later I wake up with a crick in my neck from leaning against the wall, with a happy baby sleeping cozily up against my body...his preferred place to sleep. By that time he's hungry again and we start the game over. Someday, I will win!

In other news, Toby is exactly two months old today!

Nah. I know how it ends. Although I do have an interesting question to ask you about it, the next time I see you.

I wonder if DR George will be purchasing the 5th anniversary edition of Wicked's cast album, with an exclusive second disc?

Update on DFIL - Jed's dad is still in the VA hospital in Seattle. They aren't able to find any sign of infection that could be causing the white blood cell count to be so low (it was hovering around 200 yesterday, for those who might understand numbers) so their best guess is that there is something wrong in his bone marrow that is causing the white blood cells not to be produced. There are medications he can take that will hopefully solve the problem. He's having a bone marrow biopsy today and we should hopefully know more after that.

Thank you all so very much for the continued vibes!!! DR Jed and I both appreciate them.

You might try one of these:

Designed by a pediatric physical therapist! This developmental pillow is more ergonomic than others, and more versatile, too. Bend or twist it as needed — it's terrific for nursing, sitting, self-feeding, and tummy time. Unlike evenly stuffed pillows, it's flatter at the curve for baby's comfort and baby can't slide off, either (a common complaint with the leading pillow). Healthier for treating reflux, thanks to the correctly angled wedge accessory. Includes prop roll. Made in USA. For newborns-15 months.

Available at ONE STEP AHEAD

And I believe it's time for me to get off the couch and off my duff and head out into the Big City for a couple of hours.

I would include no modern film on my list because all modern films use way too much CGI to change color and lighting.

I know the topic was "photography", but to most viewers what counts is what's on the screen, not how it got there. The correct use of computer tools to adjust lighting as opposed to electric lights or camera/film manipulation is just a creator's choice of tools to effect an artistic visualization.
