Wonder if they're moving more slowly this week due to the holiday?

Tuesday.

Yesterday my mother got her new prescription card - she has been COBRA'd until May, 2016, at no cost to us, which is nice, although she already had other insurance ready to go.

Everything is taken care of except the pesky pension.  Since it comes from the same source as the insurance, I am hoping that they get that straightened out by this month or next.

OMG I am not happy. There is snow everywhere. And with no warning.  When I checked the weather forecast last night I only saw a 40% chance of flurries.  Luckily it is supposed to be very warm on Thursday and Friday so it will melt. But yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have liked almost ALL of my teachers....some better than others of course.

I have had only ONE teacher that I hated.  We moved in the spring of the 4th grade, so there were only two 6-week periods left in the year.  My new teacher was named Mrs. Naile.  There were NOT enough books to go around, so we had to share some. She never called on me when I raised my hand, and she hit me once when we were out on the playground.  I still don't know what that was about.

At the end of the school term - she was giving away some of the things in the room.  A boy had kind of given up feeding the little turtle, so I had taken over the job.  I raised my hand when she asked who wanted it.  No one else raised his hand, but she still gave it to someone else.

This is just the tip of her unexplained hatred for me - I could feel it every day.  If she couldn't find a wrong answer on my paper or tests, she marked me down for my penmanship or having too dull a pencil.

I hope she died a horrible painful and lingering death....alone....

There is not enough space to write about the WONDERFUL teachers I had.

Mr. Riddick, our 5th grade teacher.  My first male teacher.  He was great, he brought his record player in and played records for us.  He made learning so much fun.

My English/Lit teachers Miss York, Mrs. Kreiger, Mrs, Brewster, and Miss Bray.  My history teacher Mr. Marksbury.....and on and on....

This is a good week to be a slob DR ELMORE.

DR VIXMOM sort of clued me in on the FIDDLER nonsense.....yes hopefully it will be changed.

I need new glasses.  I can't tell you what I thought MR BK wrote in the notes when he wrote House of Pies.....because this is a family site.

I had a time-shifting change-shifting dream last night; I'm not sure now which came first, the family or friends, but I was with friends - I think E&T DR Ben and Anthony were among them - at some sort of gathering and one ofr the treats was some ice cream dish with fresh strawberries.  Then I was eating ice cream with strawberries and playing with a lot of kittens at my Aunt Jean's home in Hamilton, OH. My brother Randy was very small so I was probably no older than twelve or so.

My other dream, which may have been part of this, was about a chord - A-minor, which could have been a D-ninth or an F-sharp minor seventh with a flatted five - and this strange cluster of notes above it - B, D, E - and my constant question: what chord do you want here?

I have no plans today.  I am pondering doing laundry but i might want to hold such a treat until Thanksgiving day, since I ave no plans. I need to launder my bedding and winter-ize the bed as well, so this may be a weekend epic.

Good morning, all.

Yet another dream that, at last count, combined at least three common dream themes, and brought in three or four situations based on both recent and decades-old events.

I've got a long list of things that must be done in these two days before T-Day and in the couple of days immediately following.  A long, long list.

I just got a loverly email from Bill Modrow, librarian in Special Collections, that my collections was used recently in a music research class.

I asked him if there was an online finding aid to it.  I could really use one.

TOD:

Mrs. Nora Borgstrom at Garfield High School in Seattle.  She gave me the lead in the senior play (A SLIGHT CASE OF MURDER) and encouraged my dreams to go into show biz.

If any teacher made me think of becoming a serial killer, it was Miss Louella Hart, who taught social studies at Garfield.  She was a cold fish.  No matter how well you were doing, she always made you feel that you were failing her course.

Tuesday morning greetings!  It's cold and sunny here today, perfect for going to the eye doctor's office to have my new sunglasses adjusted.

We have a final meeting this morning with the owner of the restaurant where my niece's fundraiser is being held.  We meet at 11:00, but that isn't too early to enjoy a nice plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Of course, I won't eat again for the rest of the day.

Charlotte and I have decided to see a movie this week.  The times tomorrow are lousy, primarily because she's booked until 2:00 and the early afternoon showings all happen around 1:30.  I've offered her these options:
Victor Frankenstein
Trumbo
Legend
Spotlight
Brooklyn


I think she would like as well the latest edition of The Hunger Games.  I'd rather die.

We are going to a spaghetti dinner fundraiser tonight for the Art Central Foundation.

It must be the cooling of the temperature, spaghetti can be a great comfort food.
