My masochistic side is showing in my reading material. For some reason, I have started The Mysteries of Udolpho, a 19th century novel said to be the first Gothic novel. It's 600 pages and I'm almost 100 pages into it, but it's slow going. And repetitive. But I'm oddly fascinated by it.

And then you'll move on to The Castle of Otranto or Varney the Vampire? About ten years ago I was asked to orchestra a musical of The Monk. Welcome to Northanger Abbey!

Not in short order. I still have 1,200 pages of The Tale of Genji to finish up. One of these days.

Just up from one, which I took instead of doing errands. Time for those errands.

I ended up sorting cans of cat food for the past hour. My 2nd floor neighbor Katie's cat will be getting some Fancy Feast my cats lately refuse to touch.

Good Afternoon. Home from proctoring the virtual Academic Decathlon at school this morning. Cold (because the heat wasn't on in the classroom) but fun. We find out at 4:00pm how everyone did. I got someone to cover my mass this afternoon, so I'm home with the boys for the rest of the day. I'm having issues with iCloud. I use it to port over things I've done on the "studio" computer to the "editing" computer.... and somehow, one of said computers is not cooperating, and I'm not sure which one. I think it's the "studio" computer. Trying to be patient, but it's par for the course that things don't want to work if there is a deadline looming and I just have to get something done.

The Mistake Waltz was a great hit on my FAcebook page today - as well it should be.

Several folks had never seen it.

I ran into an old friend today at Trader Joe's. Kathy and her husband Frank used to invite me over to her annual Christmas Eve dinners and Halloween parties. It was just nice to see her, learn that both her husband and her are doing well, and that her life was going on regardless of covid.

then I came home, planted the basil and parsley I had bought, and started into some heavy-duty gardening. Sawing takes a lot out of you. But in an hour, I had my green barrel full for Monday's pickup. And only made in dent in some of the dead wood back there.

The annual Empty Bowls fundraiser for one of the charities that feeds and houses people is tomorrow. I used to love to get there early and browse the tables set up filled with pottery from local artisans. For each bowl you bought, all of the money went to the charity and you got a bowl of soup to go.

Every year, I'd see a lot of friends I hadn't seen for awhile, and we'd sit down for a bowl of soup.

In the covid age, you give the charity money online, you get to pick out two bowls online and you get to pick them up at a drive-thru. The two soups are in to-go containers on the side. Masks required. It's all good, just different. The charity still gets the profits.

I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of sleep. All caught up, I think, but have had to play catch up since arising.

Picked up a package, a screener I already had, had Casa Vega for food - one taco and one chicken burrito - and now I can finally relax until the Zoom thing, if my Claritin-D kicks in soon.

I enjoyed both the Mistake Waltz and Cool. We are so used to seeing shows on stage with sets that I found it quite interesting to see the dances in real settings. Granted, it's not ideal, but during Covid we do need to think creatively.

I am reading Barry Maitland's DARK MIRROR. I like Maitland's work. He's a competent writer and his stories are all a little different from the norm.

Not as much fun, but it's good that they're flexible and still having it. I have no doubt that the need is even greater this year.

As you can see, I have no news.

TTFN.

While not as fun I think it is great they found a way to keep the charity event.

Generally I get phone calls from the Vixter or Vixhubby asking me how to cook something or other

There was a sale on a Campari tomatoes and red peppers at the market this morning and I knew they were the main ingredients

vixmom · « **Reply #86 on:** March 06, 2021, 05:28:39 PM »

So I’ve been calling her for advice instead

Then I spent a good half hour trying to locate my immersion blender

vixmom · « **Reply #88 on:** March 06, 2021, 05:32:28 PM »

I looked where it was supposed to live then went through every kitchen cabinet and the downstairs pantry

vixmom · « **Reply #89 on:** March 06, 2021, 05:35:19 PM »

I finally found it...exactly where it was supposed to be, in the first place I looked
