Watched a good movie, then went to Gelson's to get hot dogs for tomorrow's food. Why are the bread shelves pretty empty? Last three times I've been there it's been that way? So, no more runs on towels? Now it's bread???

Watched the third episode of All Creatures, which was the one in which the horse has to be put down. It was as horrifying as the scene in the book. Yet it was handled very well. I'm liking this. Will spread out the episodes like candies, instead of bingeing them.

It has been an emotional day.  In a good way.

Yes, it has been.

Falstaff is a choice next week, and it's not the production I saw recently. This one is from 2013. I may have to watch it.

Listening to La Fanciulla del West - some of Puccini's most beautiful music, I must say. And Carol Neblett is fantastic.

Carol Neblett? I used to know her. I never heard her sing, though. I hadn't thought about her in many years.

I don't know about bread -- I've had no trouble finding it, but I buy GF -- but hydrogen peroxide has been among recent shortages. It kills germs in the mouth and I think it was being used as an anti-Covid strategy. I've learned to stock up, as you never know from week to week what'll be available.

I am experiencing some low-grade reax to the shingles shot. Earlier, I had to log off work because of a dizzy spell. I slept a while and seem OK, but a little slow.

Hope you feel back to normal tomorrow.

Keith, because of my obsessiveness, and a stroke of luck, received his vaccination this morning.

I went with him as they had open time slots but they wouldn't let me have it and I couldn't sign up without an email invite.  Since then the time slots have all filled up.

How disappointing for you.

Very, and of course Keith felt a bit guilty about getting it when I didn't.

We have had three days of nice weather. Each day I have walked farther trying to get back in the habit of getting out for exercise while Keith is on his airbike.

The rain is returning so I expect it will be awhile before I walk that far again.

Well, this is an interesting little HuffPost article:  ‘It’s Over’: Devastated QAnon Believers Grapple With President Joe Biden’s Inauguration.

A look inside QAnon’s virtual inauguration watch party, which went horribly wrong.

You'll have to go there to see it because I'm wearing a t-shirt with an "offensive" word on it. ;)
