Just as I was ready for bed (post-Project Runway All-Stars), one of the kitties made her presence known....begging for treats and attention.   I shared many treats and petted and praised her...skritched her and attempted to hold her (she wasn't much interested in that, thanks).   This morning, she was front and center waiting to be fed.  She was a "hongry" girl, too.  The other kittie (her sister) remained out of sight.   I tended the chickens who let it be known they wanted "out" of their coop and into the yard.  They'll have to wait for tomorrow.

I slept SO WELL!   When I got up, I opened curtains and looked out at a vast expanse of the bay area, expecting to see some fog.  All was clear.   Driving in, and down from the lofty heights of the Oakland Hills, I encountered the fog I had expected to see from the house.   That was two hours ago and there is still a bit of ground fog present (isn't that called Thule fog, or something?).

Looking forward to the weekend, I am.   I may get to take Monday off making it a four-day weekend as Tuesday is Veterans Day.

My intercom is half installed. They still have to get into the apartment below mine and continue the wiring from my apartment to hers.

When I was at the library yesterday I met the reference librarian who receives the reservations/suggestions we email for books we want.  I had never met her before, but there was a problem with something involving the online suggestions.

I have never even seen this lady before.  So she says, "what is your name?"  I say "Jennifer" and immediately she says my last name. :)

I request a ton of books.  But the crazy thing is that I only get half my books from the library (since i get a lot of ebooks and review ebooks).  I should have told her that. :)

Speaking of library books. i currently have five books out and see that two new releases i suggested/requested are in binding.  I guess October/November is a busy month for new books. Luckily I don't have any review books due for November (they are all jan/feb/march) cause I don't know if i can keep with the library books.

I also have the dvd chef which i will probably watch tomorrow.

Something sort of odd happened to me yesterday.  So I'm at a store and only one cash was open.  I had one item and the woman ahead of me (who was probably around 75) had a lot of stuff.  She kindly said "oh you have one item go ahead of me".  So i smiled and softly said thank you.  Then she turns around with a mean face and screams (something like) "Oh my gosh how rude - couldn't you at least say thank you."  She was sort of mean about it.

It was really weird because even if i hadn't said thank you why would she scream like a lunatic?

So I just pretended that she hadn't just screamed at me and I said, "I did say thank you, but I said it sort of quietly. Sorry you didn't hear me."

Then she did a 180 and sweetly talked to me for a few minutes saying how some people are so rude (but now not me).

She was the Jekyll and Hyde shopper with two personalities.

I'm up - got nine hours of sleep and the helper came by and we had to get some stuff done.  Now I'm thinking about food.

When it rains, it pours! I just got offered a chance to narrate Arnold Schoenberg's harrowing "A Survivor from Warsaw" for a concert in January.

Congrats Singalong!

DR Amy, so sorry to hear about your auto accident, but glad it was only your car that was injured.

I hope you find a new car that you're really happy with. I've had good luck finding good late-model used cars. I don't drive much and like saving the $$$. I've found that many dealers will accept an offer that's $300-500 below asking price for a used car.

A website I found quite helpful was

www.cargurus.com

Good luck!

CONGRATS to SINGDAW on his new job! I suspect it'll be quite gratifying to help people who are probably getting a bit desperate. Expecially around the holidays.

Well, I'm quite excited; an email just informed me that an abandoned diplomatic package from London in the Harrisburg Airport has a ton of money that was to be sent to me! I have to send a pertinent banking info and I will be a millionaire.   This is my lucky day.

On top of that, I got  second email informing me that there is $2.8 million waiting for me in Africa!

The shock of being so wealthy so suddenly this morning has given me the vapors. I have to lie down before I send my social security number, bank account numbers, and, i think, a pint of blood.

Why doesn't anyone offer ME money??

Nothing is happening here today....and I don't want to MAKE something happen....so it is very quiet.  Which is nice.

Enjoy it while it lasts. I LOVE quiet!
