I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep - didn't arise until a little after one, and of course had tons of e-mails to read and respond, including several from the author of the book I'm helping. Then I had to finish doing the formatting on his book, tweaked it several times and just sent him a PDF to peruse. That final bit, and it took a bit of time, was making the right side flush right. Books don't have ragged text on the right - it took me some experimenting, but once I found it, it was quite easy. This fellow is VERY grateful.

Dear reader Ron - I don't remember a lot of the Adam-12 episodes, but I'm thinking about going back to Season One and watching the first five seasons again - I'm starting the final season this evening, although I got an online streaming screener for Nightmare Alley so may watch that.

Did a Gelson's run and bought all the missing items and two more onion rolls - last package of those. Guess I made them popular with the populace.

He is extremely lucky you offered to do so much for him.

Watching the extras of Female Trouble. Waters interviews the woman who played young Taffy when she was a kid, and the interview is excellent. They're both funny, talking about being a kid and making such an adult movie.

Made a mushroom pie for dinner. It tasted good, but it was a mess in the making.

~~~HEALING VIBES~~~ for DR TCB!!!!

Back to the acupuncturist tomorrow. The vertigo has been different since the visit Monday and less severe but maybe more present.

I enjoyed reading about DR RON PULLIAM's day.

Then it was worth writing! Thank you!

Would be interested on your take of that episode once you see it. I was in my early 20s at the time...and things had a tendency to be more poignant then than now. Although, I have to say, it doesn't take much to make me teary eyed.

It is now past midnight on December 23rd, and I need to start getting sleepy, but I cannot work up the torpor.

FYI:

The VA called me yesterday and set me up to consult with an outside ENT clinic. When the local VA cannot schedule you for an appointment within six months, they refer you to Community Care, which locates a service that the VA pays to treat you. The ENT office will call me in a week or so and set up my appointment.

Been reading James Ivory’s autobiography, Solid Ivory. Quite enjoyable. I’m 100 pages in, so I haven’t gotten to any of his movies yet. Apparently that doesn’t come for another 50 or so pages. But there’s been plenty about sex and food.

Adieu...will try to relax a bit in a non-laptop environment. Sleep will come.

Can ham chunks and the hora be far behind?

Don't forget the cheese slices, too!

Of course, I'd prefer cheese chunks and ham slices, but that's just me.

If this were an Internet outage in my building, I'd either go unpaid or have to take vacation time. But since it's on the state's end, I think this is paid time.

Good! That's the way it would be for me at the library.

Wednesday afternoon greetings! We went to Dayton this morning for Richard’s 5th burn clinic appointment and they are pleased with his progress. We need to keep treating his foot with collagen and honey (medicinal-grade) patches, but we don’t have to return to the clinic until January 5.

Very good news, Ginny!

I think our roof is fixed. We'll know after the rain the next couple of days.

The computers came back on at about 2:30 this afternoon. So the Department of Human Services (as well as others), that employs over 10,000 people, was out of commission from 10:30am yesterday until 2:30 today.

We are getting paid.

That's great!!

I just got back from shopping with my sister...again.

George · « **Reply #146 on:** December 22, 2021, 09:49:21 PM »

We went to Costco, and were going to look for something that I could get my mom for Christmas, but we didn't really notice anything...so we didn't get her anything from there.

George · « **Reply #147 on:** December 22, 2021, 09:51:05 PM »

My sister did spend money to get stuff for Saturday since everyone is coming over, but I'll have to thing of something by Friday when we exchange gifts at my mom's house.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** December 22, 2021, 09:55:45 PM »

Originally, I was going to get her a gift certificate for her favorite restaurant, The Main Chinese Buffet.

George · « **Reply #149 on:** December 22, 2021, 09:56:46 PM »

I went there on Saturday, but it looked like they were closed and cleaning, so I couldn't get the gift certificate.
