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

And now - Dino at the piano.

It is nice to have Dino back.

Today, I'm going to my mom's to play Phase 10. It didn't work out to play on Friday this week, so it'll be today. We're also meeting earlier in the evening, so we may play more games. We'll see.

And now, I'm off to bed and will sleep in until I decide to get up!

Have a good day, all!

I had a nice night of sleep, and to my delight the cats behaved very nicely. Annabelle still sneezes, but she's eating, and she seems healthier and friskier than she has been in some time. She's moved her sleeping locale from the top of the bookcases to a big fluffy pillow next to me, and she seems content to lie there all night while Thatch and Stella nap with me for a bit, then run off to create mischief before coming back to sleep a little more.

DR vixmom, I thought DR Jeanne's plan was excellent, so I am quite sorry to hear it's not a possibility.

DR singdaw, I know of the Selling Britten book, but I don't think I have it. I've always wanted a book on the English Opera Group with lots of production photos, and I'm surprised it hasn't been done by now.

Last night I started watching a Season 20 episode of Midsomer Murders about killings at a comic con-type event, but I wasn't in the mood. I turned to PBS and watched an episode from several earlier seasons.

The night before I tried to watch Christopher Wheeldon's ballet of Cinderella, but I didn't care for it; the Prokofiev score was too mangled and reassembled for Craig Lucas' torturous story with too many backstories and characters and an indecision on how much of the Brothers Grimm version to use instead of Perrault's. I was not happy.

Today I must prepare for my Tuesday radiology appointment by filling out a shitload of forms before I can get back to Kern's Oh, Boy!

I'm up early this Sunday morning because Nathan and I are going to go up to the area's largest Sunday-only flea market and do our first walk-through of the season. It will be my first time to do this kind of thing since late 2019, and it's the perfect day for it. If I come back with any treasures, you will read it here first. What I'll probably come back with is just a belly full of breakfast foods, but you never know.

Our cats have always slept with me, some more often than others, but I'm generally the cat whisperer in this jernt. Now it's just Mikey, and he's always been a snuggly lap cat, but now even more so since Poe has been gone. I can nearly always count on him being there when I'm ready to get into bed. And he's a solid sleeper. He wants to be on top of the covers, and nestles into my side, butt first. Once there, he's there all night, with hardly any moving around, and if he makes a trip to the food bowl or the litter box, he comes right back up and resumes his spot, quietly. He used to take a few nights off now and then to sleep somewhere else in the house, but lately it's been every night.

Kitty cleanup is finished and the bed is made. I bought a much needed waste basket for my bedside, and that's now set up. After I take my meds I will take the litter and recyclables to the basement and pick up any mail from yesterday.

TCB. I have discussed the matter with both brothers. Only the residential department will be left after the elder retires. I have expressed my interest in staying they have expressed their interest in keeping me but I am aware that it will be completely dependent on how much business there is in the department since the other members of the department have been with him for years 10+ years. So hopefully we are looking at a robust economy with lots of active residential real estate work in my geographical area. They are also limited in that they have only 3 lenders with which they work. I am used to working with firms with relationships with between 10-30 Lenders so it feels very eggs in one basket to me and that frightens me a little.

Thanks, George! I feel younger as Freddie than as FJL somehow.

A very very happy HHW birthday to DR Freddie!

I just had to clean two rooms. Skip bought sponges from Boxed that have smilie faces cut into them It is like in Mary Poppins, it helps the attitude while scouring.

~~~CONTINUED EXCELLENT VIBES & XYLOPHONES~~~ for bk for a smooth and trouble-free move tomorrow!!!!!

Freddie · « **Reply #29 on:** May 02, 2021, 07:07:09 AM »

and since the CDC told us last year to time hand washing to Happy Birthday sung twice, that makes a strange subliminal difference to the chore of cleaning.
