It will keep me distracted as I am nervous my vaccination will actually happen tomorrow, and without any major reactions.

Dental vibes to Jrand.

I hope your new choppers work out well for you. Just the lowers?

DR John G, I watched a couple episodes of MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE. It's a period piece clearly written in the present. A bit too on-the-nose for me, but I'll probably watch the rest. I encourage you to give it a try.

Goddam UPS! They tried to deliver a Petco package on Saturday night just before 9:00. By the time I got to the intercom, there was no one there so I figured someone else had let the driver into the building. Yesterday I got an email saying they couldn't deliver it. So, this morning I get a UPS email saying the package would be delivered by 9:00 tonight. I just got another UPS enail saying it's at the UPS store at 79th & Broadway. Come pick it up.

They can rot in hell first.

Sounds like my Amazon experience. Does UPS have a rule about how long the drivers can wait? I suspect they're just impatient.

I am back from dropping off my Amazon return, and what an adventure it was.

It had been several years since I'd returned anything, so I was surprised yesterday when they told me not to package the item, just take it to one of the authorized drop-off locations, show them the code that was being emailed to me, and that would be that.

Well, that was indeed that. I picked a UPS store. I walked in and only one other person was finishing up with one guy, and the other guy called me right over. I showed him the email on my phone and handed him the goods, he printed a receipt, and I was out of there in thirty seconds.

I did an Amazon return at a Whole Foods store that way. It was very convenient and quick. It always used to frost me how companies would require you to send back all the original packaging with your return, a kind of gotcha. The new method is so much better.

Vaccination vibes to DR Jane! I hope it's uneventful for you. A quick jab and that's it.

Major WATER LEAK vibes to Singdaw and his hubby.

What a drag! Yes, be thankful it's over the bathtub.

I was busy all day and still didn't accomplish everything on my list. That's not unusual.

Jeanne · « **Reply #131 on:** January 25, 2021, 08:34:06 PM »

It was windy and cold today, but beautiful. The wind blows away the pollution and clears the skies. I had to bundle up, though.

We haven't seen much of Vixmom lately. Vibes all is well.

Good night.

Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir, by Natasha Trethewey, may have earned the Pulitzer Prize, but it is also depressing the heck out of me. We are slowly circling the drain until the fatal tragedy will occur. And there's no escaping.

John G. · « **Reply #135 on:** January 25, 2021, 08:58:30 PM »

I am not going to finish it tonight, which means that I can spread the depression to another day.

John G. · « **Reply #136 on:** January 25, 2021, 08:58:42 PM »

And on that cheery note, good night!

Finished with my viewing. A wonderful motion picture about which more later.

Listening to Boris Godunov - very Russian, beautiful music and in the interlude that's currently playing one hear exactly the inspiration for Mr. Tiomkin's Dial 'M' for Murder. I was taken aback, oh, yes, I was taken aback. But also very close to some Herrmann music from The Man Who Knew Too Much, unless I'm confusing the two things.
