Lots of SPAM email for me, too.

Yesterday as the drama was going down, I was in Smarty waiting for my sister so we could go to the bank. My BIL came out and told me what was happening, so I went in the check it out.....so I was ON THE SPOT for the drama!

I'm up, I'm up - five hours maybe. I said not before nine, they get here at eight. No mask. NOW they have a mask. Covering everything in plastic and will be sanding. Am I supposed to stay here while this sanding is going on? Do I need that crap in my lungs. I have no idea how long this is going to take and I don't want to leave them here and I need to write and I REALLY don't need to get sick

And someone can tell me how Mercury in retrograde can happen already when it just STOPPED a couple of months ago.

I am now ensconced at the computer behind plastic - they haven't even started. I have fifteen pages to write and I don't know when that's supposed to happen. I am FURIOUS and Grant has been on the receiving end of it all morning.

TOD

Nothing much in the Blu-ray/DVD player this week.

I got a hankering for Finian's Rainbow, and have pulled out the 1999 (is that the right year?) cast CD and the Irish Rep one, and I do believe I had only ever sampled the latter. I'm especially interested in listening to the two-piano arrangement.

Burton Lane was seemingly incapable of writing anything but lovely music, no matter how many instruments it’s played on. I really like the two pianos.

And will continue to be on the receiving end till these people are gone. And I cannot work after posting the notes because I have to be up by eight-thirty tomorrow.

Did they finish the instructions? You’re supposed to ship it to me when you’re done.

I just got back from shopping at three stores (one cat store and two human ones - Trader Joe's and Stew Leonard's) for some essentials, and I could practically feel Mercury smiling down upon me. Every step of the way there was one little irritating or "off" thing after another. I am glad to be back at home. I will have to run out to the regular supermarket briefly tomorrow, and that will not be a hassle. I'll still be avoiding Panic Day.

Plastic and sanding? It doesn't get much more intrusive than that. Oy and vey.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** January 14, 2022, 11:21:10 AM »

More spam. And at a glance, it's just the garden variety selection, nothing to indicate it's all suddenly coming from one source. Not that you could tell, anyway, since they can disguise the living HELL out of it.

I am home. The Access-a-Rides were both strange today. This morning I rode in a huge bus-like vehicle, just me and the driver. Her took the weirdest route to East 77th Street, and several streetswere blocked off so he had to backtrack. The usual 15-minute ride was more like 25-30. However, the driver was the best one I've had in terms of taking care of me and getting me safely to the door.

The return trip had the first driver I thought was a compleat jerk.

I will go in tomorrow, but I have canceled Monday because of my weather fears. I will do laundry instead.

I had to leave. Went and had an omelet and stayed away for two hours. I think the sanding is done and he's painting now, which shouldn't take too long, hopefully. The thing in the bathroom will take five minutes.

I decided I needed some Chinese food tonight rather than my chicken soup. It's awfully good, ut after three days I need a change.

Wise decision. We have remolded too many homes and it is always hard on me.

You really don’t want to be there on a holiday either.

They let us go early because of the holiday.

Plastic is coming down, so I think he's through now and just cleaning up. As soon as he's gone, I'll get to work on new pages. I'm now coming to the critical part of the book, the final forty pages.
