Are you sure?

The post office is open today. I haven't checked for mail yet, but then we don't always receive mail.

I arrived at our favorite grocery store this morning at 6:00AM, determined to beat the crowds.

Turns out, the store is closed today. At first I was annoyed, but these workers surely deserve an extra day off with their families.

Up after a short, but delightful, nap.

I can imagine your surprise, and agree with you it is nice they all got the day off. A mostly produce market we shop at closes on Saturdays for this very reason. We have gone twice on Saturdays and won't forget again.

We did not get mail delivered today. Did anyone else? Or should we take it personally?

We have received very little mail the past week. Today we received about 18 pieces , 10 of which were Christmas cards

I went online the other day and snagged the last available appointment this year for an eye exam.

2:3O today at our Costco

vixmom · « **Reply #71 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:08:36 PM »

We’ve been going here for at least 12 years

vixmom · « **Reply #72 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:08:43 PM »

Maybe more

vixmom · « **Reply #73 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:08:55 PM »

We love our optometrist

I called and left a message asking if Vixdad could come along and have his eyes checked too and she said yes!

vixmom · « **Reply #75 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:13:24 PM »

So we moseyed up there and arrived about 20 minutes early

While I was having my retinas scanned a young man arrived and said. He was there for his 2:30 appointment

vixmom · « **Reply #77 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:15:21 PM »

Apparently when he received the confirmation notice he didn’t hit the confirmation button so the system cancelled it which is how I was able to get my appointment

vixmom · « **Reply #78 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:16:04 PM »

My doctor , being the lovely person she is, told him to wait and she’d squeeze him in after us

vixmom · « **Reply #79 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:17:00 PM »

But I have to admit I was very glad for his error

vixmom · « **Reply #80 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:20:46 PM »

Then we picked out 2 new pairs of glasses or each of us

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** December 26, 2020, 02:21:09 PM »

very nice of your doctor, Vixmom.

Watching a Julie Andrews Christmas special from 1987, featuring that great holiday tune, The Sun Won't Set, as performed by Andrews, John Denver and Placido Domingo.

Mae West said she was always glad to squeeze an extra person in.

There is one spot in Act Two where the visuals are poor, and the production suffers from no costumes and tight budget, but I had a lovely time at MEET ME IN ST LOUIS. I enjoyed the performances and Charlotte's narration, and it's musically very well done. The band gets featured for the overture, entr'acte, and exit music, and besides Karen the harpist, my friends Jeremy Clayton (Joshie's brother) and Suzy Perlman play beautifully under John Bell's direction. The piece lasts about an hour and 40 minutes.

Back from picking up a package and a lovely Christmas card from Miss Hayley Mills.

Then I went to Gelson's and got enchiladas - oh, I didn't get enchiladas because ever since I wrote about them they have been all bought up. I mean, they make about fifty of these a day - they had every other one - all the pastas and pot pies and everything - but the enchiladas - squat. Maybe I won't write about food anymore.

DR Vixmom sure lucked out.
