I took some advil at the end of the service, so I was able to get through all those dishes without my back hurting. The sinks are so big and so deep, and the concrete floor is so hard.

Good day.  I'm up and have 2 of the 3 DD's to the groomer.  The other will go later when I pick up the other  

Do you have to drive far to the groomer?

They said to prepare for 65 people for the funeral today. I did a quick count of 106, and I'm sure I missed some folks.

You said Ruby was much loved.

Did you have any help?   Taking something before the pain started was a good idea.  With such a hard floor to stand on why don't you have cushioned pads in front of the sink?

DR Jennifer I didn't want to get up this morning as I was engrossed in CATCH ME.

I'm going to go finish reading it now.

Thank goodness for that.  I feared you were doing all the work by yourself.

I'm a little tired of my snobby theatre friends dissing on the trailers of the new "Les Miserables" movie. (which is being released on Christmas Day in case you hadn't heard).  I just want to bitch-slap them from here to Tuesday.  It's a MOVIE!!  If you want Broadway voices, then watch the DVD's of the concerts.  IMHO, it's not fair to compare a stage to screen transfer of a Broadway show.  They are two different animals that require two different types of people, one of which would be a known movie STAR. 

Sorry, it just gets on my nerves.

I can see both points of view. I don't mind have movie stars. But I need them to be able to sing. I'd almost rather they use huge theatre stars that are also well known.

It will be interesting to see the movie. I am hoping for the best.

I have barely been getting to the gym to work out let alone swim.  Today I got in the pool again.  I had trouble getting my rhythm which seemed odd until I realized it was due to my arm hurting.  It wasn't enough to keep me from getting in a good swim with few rests & now it felt better by the end of the swim.

Yah! I loved it too. I read that one of the characters from LOVE ME MORE (is that the exact title?) is in the new book.

We were lucky it didn't begin raining until we were almost home.  I'm extremely grateful I caught the sun yesterday with my trip to Medford and all my errands I had to do.

So i put it on today and it was a bit tight over the stomach. :(

It was freaking cold out today. -17C with windchill. OC=32F.

Even weirder it is supposed to be 12C/mid 50s on Tuesday??  How is that even possible?

I thought it was being released on Christmas Day.

Even though it's late, I think I need a nap.

Thanks, DR John G!  Since I took the photo, I've put the wreath on the door and the candle lights in the front windows.

Had a pretty terrific stumble-through with only a couple of minor lyric flubs.  Bill Hayes told us all up front he wouldn't be able to be here for today's rehearsal, but he's such a pro that he showed up anyway.  The show order worked wonderfully and I gave just a couple of notes, and we ran a couple of tings and that was that..

Then a few of us went to the Studio Cafe where I ate just a little more than I'd intended to.  Oh, well.

Now what is this page three malarky?  This isn't a way to welcome in December, so we'd better get us a frenzy or three - I can assure only those of us who are posting today that December will be a wonderful month, so I'm hoping everyone will show up to get our vibes and xylophones.

I've been pondering Christmas gifts and working on an orchestration for fun. The laundry is put away and I'm about ready to head for bed.

Am up from my nap. Highly enjoyable.

Watching Keaton in the alternate edit of "The Saphead." He's funny just standing still.
