Well, you've read the notes, the notes were lonely, and now it is time for you to post until the lonely cows come home.

Today, I'll be going to work and come home whenever it's done...hopefully, sooner rather than later.  But first, sleep.

Have a good day, all!

I slept quite nicely and warmly in a cold room until around 4:00. Shortly thereafter, Annabelle crawled under the blankets to get warm.  She sleeps high in the bookcase square in the draft from the open window, so I'm always surprised and happy to discover she's not a block of ice by early morning.

This afternoon I will see the Irish Rep's production of Meet Me In St Louis, which is a shortened version of the musical that played on Broadway in the 1980s.  I love the film. but I did not love stage version.  I'm looking forward to this to hear Joshie's orchestrations and John Bell's musical direction.  My harpist friend Karen Lindquist plays in the ensemble.

We've been watching tours/demonstrations of English pipe organs. The DH is kind of a geek that way.

DR Elmore that’s been showing up on my Facebook and I’ve been meaning to ask you about it.  If we’re back from our errands and have our groceries put away by 3, I might join you this afternoon.  Save me a seat!

TOD:

Carol sent me an album of photos of myself from trips we've taken through the years with wishes for more adventures when this craziness is over.

I also received some high quality decaf that I've been enjoying as well as Springsteen's latest album and a gift certificate to Amazon.

High quality decaf ideas would be welcome here.

I drink both decaf and regular, depending. My only gripe with decafs is that I always crave a full bodied mouthfeel, regardless, and many decafs just tend to taste weak to me.

This was an Ethiopian blend from nuts.com.

I have been looking for some light roast decaf coffee lately, because it supposedly helps lower blood sugar. I try most anything that says that. But I haven't been able to find any in this stores. Only on Amazon, which I will likely use my gift card for.

My way of trying to get that mouthfeel sometimes is just using a half-tablespoon more. Doesn't always work, but hot brown water is not my favorite thing in the world.

I received the Indiegogo email asking about The Creature. Are people filling them out? I can’t remember.
