Tonight I am having a party with my three sisters at my house.

We will eat cake and have pizza and play music and maybe a board game or two and sing and maybe watch a movie.

It's a surprise THANK YOU party for my sister who does so much for all of us.

I got a cake at Walmart yesterday and wanted them to write "Thank you, Paula" on it. But there was no CAKE DECORATOR there.

I bought some stuff to write it myself - but it looks pretty bad....I may post photo tomorrow.....

DR JRand71 and his sisters know how to throw a par-tay.

I woke up in the middle of the night thinking, "Oh, this will be a GREAT dream to share with HHW!" and now, of course, I can't remember one drop of it.

I have no plans today. That'll be nice. But now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

I was wrong...I do have plans! I'm ushering for Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill. It's running in rep with Tenderly, the show I ushered for on Wednesday.

It got quite chilly last night. Around 3:00 Abbavekke crawled under the blankets and moved al;l the way down to ny feet, where she nestled in the curve of my foot and ankle. Stella and Thatch are happier on top of the blankets, but they get as close as possible.

Is Abbavekke an ABBA fan?

I think I'm ready to be the spokesperson for the Vixmom School of Typing!

The house is cleaned especially the party Room. Showering and shaving will commence momentarily.

I saved the last banner to put up just before Paula arrives.....and I will make the Barnabas Collins cocktails then as well. Then of course the Red Baron Personal Pizzas will be placed in the oven.

Back from a bacon and cheese omelet at Hugo's - by the time I left it was pretty crowded. I suspect that may not be the case when, on November 4, everyone has to show proof of vaccination or they're sent home. Now, you must understand, the dreaded Delta variant seems to have disappeared from sight, despite the dire end of the world warnings, no other variants have shown up to do much of anything, cases are hugely down again here in L.A., and yet the masks are still mandated and even more stringent rules going into place. As I have said from day one, all they want to do is accentuate the negative, never the positive - not a peep about cases being HUGELY down.

Getting ready for the big push... for work. Market insurance Open Enrollment starts Monday and runs until January 15th. Lots of calls, lots of overtime. And on key enrollment deadline dates, working from early in the morning until 10pm or later.

I've got Medicare and an AARP/UHC supplement, and I haven't felt compelled to change anything there. Of course we'd all like these things to be cheaper.

What kills me is the prescription plan, the cost of which just seems ridiculous. I've said this before and failed to follow through, but I'm going to have to educate myself on the options this time.

In other news, my CastRecL daily digests have been both irregular and skimpy these past couple of weeks. The posting activity can't possibly be as low as it looks from over here.

(Just sayin'.)

From Bruce:

Quote

All I can tell you is that one of the shots, the second one, is on Eighth Street going east. I was able to identify a hotel on the left and found its address. And had this shot started a mere five seconds prior to when it does, we would have seen my father's restaurant on the right. It literally starts right after that - I recognized the building on the corner (at Hobart) instantly.

The drug store, next to my Dad's second office, should have been on the corner.

Wait, that would have been Western and Hobart. His first office was on 8th.

My fellow DRs, I would be remiss if I didn't ketchup a little bit on the price of gasoline here.

I believe I last reported the rise from $3.22 to $3.25 to $3.29, all within a week. Since then it's gone to $3.32 and is at $3.36 today. This steady increase began at $2.89 where it had sat for a long time, so that's a 40-cent increase within the past, oh, I dunno, month or so?

I went for almost a beautiful two hour walk this morning. It felt great as I haven't done that in a long time, even the wind almost blowing me over a few times didn't ruin the walk.

Jane · « **Reply #58 on:** October 30, 2021, 01:36:49 PM »

The wind is currently blowing at 20 miles per hour.

We are off for our afternoon walk.
