I finished my book.

What did you read?

Cemetery Road by Greg Iles.

Oh good. I see I posted that at 2:00, not 3:00 which means I had an extra hour of sleep.

Five hours of sleep instead of four

So, tomorrow morning, first thing, I will call my HMO, check on referral status, and if all is good, make an appointment with Dr Re.

Vibes all is good and you can get that shot super fast.

I need to do laundry today, and I am not looking forward to any of it. When I take the recyclables to the basement, I'll check my lauindry card and see if I have enough money on it to do the laundry.

Craig explained the laundry card to us when we visited. He needs cash to put money on it. Do you or can you charge it?

DR Jeanne, I do not doubt the money will be put back into my account. This happens far too often with my bank's ATMs. It's ridiculous.

Do they charge you to go inside and take out money? My bank doesn't but I know some do.

DR George are you looking forward to watching "Star Trek: Picard"?

The laundry is finished and put away, the bedding reassembled, the air purifier filter changed, trash and recyclables taken to the basement, and that is all I'm doing today.

Not the ATM, if you go inside to withdraw money. I had read some banks do that, or at one time talked about doing it.

Going to a teller when possible would reduce the risk of this happening again.

watching a fun little noir called Chase a Crooked Shadow. Anne Baxter, Richard Todd, Herbert Lom and some lovely on-location filming near Barcelona.

Picked up Hustlers from the library today, so I guess that's also on the agenda for later.

George, this production of The Tempest was from the same Donmar group that did the Julius Caesar you saw. Henry V was the third in the trilogy they staged.

Nice, unexpected plot twist at the end of Chase a Crooked Shadow.

I don't believe I have seen this, or totally forgot about it.

Just put on a pot of tomato, celery and apple soup. I haven't made it in a while. May be my favorite -- and it's vegan, which is a surprise, to me at least.

In other news, I believe my 6-year-old Windows laptop has bought the farm.

It’s too bad it couldn’t have bought DR Elmore’s property.

But it’s dead. Well, maybe it’s just resting.

Fortunately I saw this coming, and everything (I hope) important to me is backed up. And I have the MacBook to use.

I will eventually need me some Windows again for a few things that don’t exist in the Apple world. But it can wait for a while.

Hustlers is Scorcese-lite. It isn't bad, but it could learn a lesson from Bombshell. Like that movie, the characters here are sympathetic portrayals of people who are basically unsympathetic. But Bombshell was 90 minutes long. This is 1:50 and it could stand to lose 20 minutes. Again, I feel the most for the kids.
