I raced into the lab and gave the paperwork to the nurse. She suddenly went from friendly to very bussiness-like.

She told me she would be with me shortly.

TCB · « **Reply #122 on:** October 22, 2018, 11:40:12 PM »

She disappeared in the back, and when she came back out she escorted me to the bathroom, handed me the cup, and told me not to flush when I was finished, and to bring the cup directly to her.

Went I went into the bathroom, I found that she had taped the top of the toilet closed and had put some kind of blue dye into the toilet bowl.

Then I figured it out, she thought I was being drug tested to prove I was clean and sober, not the other way around. I had to laugh, and I did laugh when I went back out and explained it to her.

Oh well, I thought it was funny.

Well, I need to leave now. I have a Rocky Horror production meeting, then I'm going to see Frankenstein!

Be back later.

Well, the production meeting went well. I was told a suggestion about the bag of body parts that was a very good idea (instead of putting the fake head, hands and feet in the blood and having all of that in one sealed plastic bag, have the body parts in one sealed plastic bag, then that bag inside another sealed plastic bag that has the blood, then the bag-in-a-bag inside another sealed plastic bag that holds everything). I was also told that another couple of props will be needed: a plastic cigarrette and lollipops (real, not plastic).

Hi, Tom.

After the production meeting, my friend Margo, her middle daughter and I went to see the filmed live production of Frankenstein with Jonny Lee Miller as Frankenstein and Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature. It was still very good!

Well, I had my doctor’s appointment. He confirms that I am still alive.

Ah, sir, happy news indeed!

And then the icing on the cake - another actress is in a short film that's opening a short film festival in Monaco and she wants to go - and is asking us to get an understudy for our third weekend of shows. I must say, Doug went ballistic before I could. She's saying she'll find someone and teach them everything. I'm saying that she can't even get through her stuff properly at this point - how will she teach somebody else. And who is the somebody else? And I'm not just accepting anyone, for God's sake. I mean, it's a short film, who gives a crap - probably shot on an iPhone. But she really wants to go. I'm not sure how that will play out, because Doug is basically saying if she misses we'll cancel that weekend and the theater will lose seven or eight grand. And I don't think it would make her fellow cast members happy to cancel. But I'm not having someone come in and do this show who isn't fully prepared and directed and ready - that's just amateur. We'll see how it plays out. And that was the end of my rehearsal and it kept me at the theater an extra hour.

WHH??

Why do you need a plastic cigarette?

Today’s doctor appointment coincides with my annual pee test. Since I take a controlled substance, I am required to be tested once a year to proof that I am actually taking the drug and not selling them on the street corner.

I'm always worried that I won't be able to pee when I go for my pee test.

I was told that Janet is going to use it during "Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me," but that she doesn't smoke it, just have it, so it doesn't need to be a real one.

George · « **Reply #134 on:** October 23, 2018, 12:03:56 AM »

But I suppose that since she doesn't have to actually use it, I could just ask my dad if he'd be willing to donate a few since he smokes.

George · « **Reply #135 on:** October 23, 2018, 12:04:03 AM »

This would be the ONLY good thing about his smoking.

TCB · « **Reply #136 on:** October 23, 2018, 12:26:57 AM »

She doesn’t have to smoke it? If she did, you could use the kind I used in WRECKS.

I also got my flu shot today.

TCB · « **Reply #138 on:** October 23, 2018, 12:29:19 AM »

And now I found out that I need to get a different shingles vaccine. The previous shot does not totally prevent shingles.

My doctor had the same shingles shot I got, and he got shingles.

Oh, no!

This new one is two shots. One shot now and a second shot two months later.

I had chicken pox when I was in college. I wonder if that'll cause me to get shingles when I'm older. I know that they're related.

Well, when you turn 55 or 60 (I have forgotten the age) get the vaccine!

I'm 52 now. I'm sure that I'll be told about it when I get closer to when I need it.
