This is another of "those" days, I'm afraid.

Up early, had some coffee and learned that my cousin Debra, daughter of my recently deceased aunt, had to call an ambulance for her husband Saturday evening.  The hospital has admitted him.  Poor Rob has many problems, not the least of which has been a bout of bladder cancer.  Today, however, they are assessing his liver functions.

He has been, to my mind, an "energizer bunny".  I learn of all his ailments and hospital visits and radiation, etc., but every time I see him, he is on his feet and pleasant and non-complaining.

There was absolutely nothing for me to do except pray a little and offer to help when they need me.

And, of course, I fretted over it all day.

Getting older is a very mixed blessing. And the older I get, the harder it is to see the blessings for what they are because of the people you lose.

Sigh.

Morbidity finished.

~~~Vibes of All Kinds for Rob!!~~~

DR George, I had the two Moderna shots and the Pfizer booster. I had mno bad reaction at all.

I had both Pfizer shots in April and March.  And then the Pfizer booster plus flu shot on the same day in September.

One week after, I had one heck of a bout of something or other.  Felt like flu.  Lasted three days.

Yikes! :o I can only hope that something like that doesn't happen to me!

Peter Dinklage’s  performance had me in tears several times

Wow!  I really want to see this.

After the film Peter Dinklage (Cyrano) , Haley Bennett(Roxanne) and Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Christian) came out and did a Q&A with a moderator whose name I did not catch

That's really cool!  We're they actually all there where you were, or was it streamed live from some obscure location?

Today is going to be a day.  My sister wants me to come over and help put up Christmas lights on her front porch (she already put lights on her tree), then I'm ushering for a local production of a play called Until the Flood.  I don't know what it's about, but I'll find out soon enough.

I'm home from ushering Until the Flood.

Wow is all I can say.  It's a play of monologs about what fictional(?) people went through and how they felt about the Shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.

It was presented as if they were being interviewed and their monologs were their answers that were being video recorded.

Here's the overview from Harlequin's website:
Quote
Pulitzer Prize finalist, celebrated performer and playwright Dael Orlandersmith explores the social uprising in Ferguson, Missouri following the shooting of teenager Michael Brown. Pulling from her extensive interviews with Missouri residents, Orlandersmith crafts a stunning theatrical experience that must be seen.

Finished with my viewing. Actually dozed off for thirty minutes, surprising given eleven hours of sleep.

The Moderna booster - I had no reaction to the first two shots other than a sore arm. The booster made me lethargic for a day, but that was about it.

It is nice not to show up on page 3 or page 4, with less than 30 minutes to the witching hour.

Buddy is such a funny cat.  The other day, no, not the other day but last Monday because that was November 22.

Buddy turned around in time to see Walter.  He absolutely flipped out.  First, he jumped straight up in the air, at least a foot.  Next he started flapping and thrashing while trying to climb up over my shirt.  And from there, he ran out of the room.

I just watched the interview that Patti LuPone did with Stephen Sondheim last year, but wasn't shown until today on Sunday Morning on CBS.

It was touching but too short!  It could've lasted a few minutes more, at least.

Well, then on Thanksgiving, I had the TV on for football.  When I came back in from the kitchen the national anthem was being played on a trumpet.  I found Buddy sitting on his butt staring up at the screen watching the guy play the trumpet.

He watched the whole thing, and never looked away until it was finished.

I would rather see the interview with Patti when ALW dies.
