I'm up - again. For those who've read the notes, you know I was up an hour after I fell asleep, due to a wacky frightmare that had me shouting and flailing about. Then I revised the notes, which were originally EIGHT pages long and are now two. Then back to bed and asleep around four. So I did get close to eight hours but it sure doesn't feel like it.

Back from lunching with my grantwriter friends and hearing a panel of 3 corporate grantmakers talk about how to approach them for funding.

Stopped at Dorothy Lane Market for a nice roasting chicken, which is now in our oven and will be tonight's dinner.

Nice video in the notes.

DR CHAS SMITH did you see DR SINGDAW's definition of a song "in one" yesterday? His definition is what I have read as well.

There was an interview with a man who played Daddy Warbucks on Broadway in "Annie" where he said that the "in one song" at the end "Something Was Missing" was always almost drowned out by the crew setting up the Christmas Tree and mansion for the finale.....

Yes, I did see that and failed to say thanks! Another person later explained further what the "one" itself meant, something else I'd been unaware of. It all makes perfect sense now, and I shall enjoy knowing this for the rest of my days.

The eight page notes were long, really long. I reread them this morning - they were honest and true, but it just didn't feel good to me thinking about them in the middle of the night.

It looks like the television series "Twin Peaks" will be continued for 9 episodes in 2016 on Showtime.

Wow. With the news yesterday and again today, it has already been an astounding week for marriage equality.l

The "Nice Lady" is someone I met out hiking. She came to church with me one day and has been coming as often as she can. She convinced us to enter photos. Luckily, when Wae-Ling took a good photo, I renamed it with her name so I could keep track of which ones were hers.

You are also a nice lady but thanks for explaining who this one is.

TOD:

When we were rehearsing the original production of LOMBARD back in the early '90s, the director decided that she wanted to do a major rewrite of my first act. Unfortunately, the show's producer was her husband, so he backed her vision. I told them that I would not allow them to open the play unless they used my version, but they stood firm. So, the night before we were to open, I pulled the plug.

The play opened a month or so later (on the 50th anniversary of Carole Lombard's death), under my direction, and we got terrific press coverage and excellent reviews. We also played to full houses every night.

Success is the best revenge!

About an hour ago, Nicky woke me up with very loud yowling. Nick is usually a very quiet fellow, so this was most unusual. At first I thought that there might be another cat on the balcony. When that proved to be wrong, then crisis mode began. First we had a chase from room to room, not easy when one of us is in a wheelchair (and I don't mean Nicky).

Finally, I managed to catch up with him. How can I say this delicately? Nicky had a rather large piece of poop stuck up his rear end. Now I had already found a rather large chunk of poop that he had managed to dislodge outside of the litter box. Normally, when I can catch him, I just have to pull on it and it comes free. Not ~~tonight~~ this morning. I would try to work it loose, Nick would yowl and squirm free, and then the chase was on again. I can only wonder how many complaints the Humane Society will receive about the handicapped guy abusing the kitty in Apartment 19. Finally, after numerous attempts I managed to free the (hopefully) last piece.

Now I am waiting to make sure that the problem is solved. Nick is now cuddled up with me and has fallen asleep, so I think we are fine.

~~~Vibes for No More Poop Problems for Nicky!!~~~

It seems we ALL have stories. One might think that there was an epidemic of incompetence and abuse in the workplaces of America!

Well, I have been MOST fortunate to have had only really good bosses. They've all been very nice and just good people.

George · « **Reply #78 on:** October 07, 2014, 02:10:08 PM »

And as for coworkers, I have also been MOST fortunate to have had mostly friendly coworkers. Some, I might not have gotten to know as well as others, but the ones that I deal with have pretty much always been easy to get along with.

Vibes to DR TCB and DC Nicky. I went through a period of chronic constipation with a former DC, and I know all too well how alarming it is. This necessitated a few trips to the vet for DC enemas and such. After some trial and error, we finally got him maintained pretty well on Lactulose -- a spoonful in one meal per day, or maybe it was every meal, I don't remember now. But that stuff works.

We also went through this with Bogie due to his chronic renal failure.

VIBES FOR DC NICKY!!!

I got bit in the hand pretty severely on Sunday. My hand seems to be getting better very slowly - it's basically one giant bruise, but thank goodness it doesn't hurt to type.

It scares me you said you were severely bitten in the hand. I almost lost my hand due to an infection from a dog bite. I know other people who have also come close due to animal bites. Apparently the hands are extremely susceptible to infections from bites and difficult to clear up. I hope a bruise isn't hiding a red streak on your hand and you don't have an infection.

MEGA HAND VIBES!!!!

My internet has been down for the past fur hours, and now it is running again.

My Time Warner service man was here for about 15 minutes. He set up the new modem and left by 10:30. Around 1:00 the internet service ceased. I'm happy to have it back.

TOD:

I worked for a couple of horses asses in my Navy career. Nothing too absurd to think about because they were both trying to assert themselves in non-assertable positions, but things would have gone infinitely better for them had they been nurturing rather than adversarial. I certainly left both jobs with credibility, great evaluations and moved into even better positions when leaving both bossses. Can't say the same for them when it was time for them to move on. I'd like to think at least one of them, after my departure, came to apprecite what I did for him and what more he might have gotten from me with encouragement and positive feedback.

Oh, well. I've mostly had terrific bosses, including now in my civilian career.
