And, of course, for DR TCB as well.

Speaking of DR vixmom - well, I wouldn't want her to try this right now, but once she's back to 100%, I hope she'll consider incorporating this into her

I like style decisions.

Are we back to Thingdaw’s thong?

Watching My Brilliant Career for the first time in ages. I saw it twice when it opened. Judy Davis is incandescent. Sam Neill is impossibly handsome.

I’m dining on some sesame garlic noodles. Quite good.

But the real feat was opening the lids on several new jars. I held the jar securely in my left hand, using all five fingers.

  Thingdaw’s thong? 

It's the thought that counts.

Noodles! I would love some Thai peanut noodles or some cold sesame noodles right about now.

I slept in this morning, and I am grateful to the three devils with whom I live for allowing me to do so. Yesterday, was a physically stressful day, involving four trips to the basement to do the laundry, which is physically exhausting. I've asked the building management several times now to replace the missing chair in the laundry room, but the shits have done nothing. Since I cannot6 sit with a book and wait, I'm forced to push that walker too many times, and it's hell for my legs.

Is there some sort of disability rights group in your area? Your building management seems oblivious to tenants' needs -- disabled or not -- but someone might be willing to go to bat for you. Your request is so reasonable, so doable.

Vibes you find a solution.

I do not know what is on my agenda for today.

I do not actually HAVE an agenda, but there are things I could do!

I find the roll calls for speaker of the House to be far more amusing than cleaning, washing and dusting.

Ah, but the cleaning and laundry do not cause me any further disgust.

Weird dreams in which Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were stuck someplace where I was living (not this house) and agreed to be interviewed. It went on for more than a day. They were pleasant. We got along great. And we stayed friends after they left.

I don't know much about Ringo, but from what I've seen about Paul he seems open and friendly and your dream seems realistic.

trying to type with both hands. It's odd. The forefinger is tingling a little, but it's beginning to pull its weight.

I hadn't thought about typing. Great to see progress!

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep thanks to spam calls on the cell phone, which is usually on silent but wasn't.

I turn my phone off when I go to bed. I dont need Amber alerts or wrong numbers.

Kevin Can Wait

HuffPo headline on McCarthy.

Eight pages so far and I have to take a break. Because of the style of this book, where I could whip through seven or eight pages pretty quickly in a normal book, this one is endless in trying to get through a page - you'll understand why when you read it.

Of course they had the elephant stamps I purchased, and on display along with other stamps.



I loved the elephant stamps. I never think about buying stamps online, but should.

Elmore, I forgot to ask : Can your doctor prescribe a walker like the one Laura posted a link to? Medicare covered the price for Mom’s.

The Rabbi Slurps Spaghetti. My favorite book title of the day.

In the webinar I attended yesterday we were discussing the power of belief systems. Apparently some people believe in flying spaghetti monsters. Seriously. Nothing to do with the rabbi, though.
