It's very possible that my mother's mac and cheese was made with Velveeta, too, because in my earliest years of this thing we call life, that's the only cheese I knew. I thought cheese came in a yellow box. Period. I'd guess my second ever cheese was Swiss, and I wonder what I thought that came in.

Anyway, I have her recipe. It might be half Velveeta and half cheddar, now that I think about it. Whatever it calls for, though, that's what I'll make.

I did eat the Kraft packages and such in my early years living alone, and I always made sure to not let them be too milky or runny. But my return to my former macs and cheeses will be the home recipe. I'll dig it out soon.

I've been friends with Dianne for about 49 years since she and I were in The Pirates of Penzance. At the moment my heart breaks for her and I want to wring her neck. This morning she posted that her cat Luna did not come in last night. She just posted that Luna was found killed, presumably by a coyote.

While my heart breaks, I want to throttle her for letting this beautiful kitty be an indoors-outdoors cat.

Oh my god, that's horrible. And sad. And infuriating, too, like you said.

Where does she live? Suburbs? Country?

Is anybody having trouble with Facebook today? This morning I found it sluggish, but just now I opened it up to see that I have a couple of notifications and something in Messenger, and it tries but won't open up either of those things.

Never mind, it's working now. It's just very sluggish.

Oh--it also gave me some ferkakte message about my browser needing to be updated, to which I say BS. In fact, I just checked the App Store, and there are a few things I can update, but Safari isn't one of them.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I thought I'd posted when I got up, but my mind is quite in other places. Anyway, I got eight hours of sleep.

I got right into futzing and finessing the eighteen pages from yesterday. There were quite a few things to smooth out, lose, add, and move around, but I think it all read fairly well, especially the big section.

I liked that mac-and-cheese I had yesterday so much that I had it again today - just as good.

Well, not to get political or anything ;) but I came across this posted on Tribel (and I would assume it's on other medias of social, also):

On the same day that the Band’s Robbie Robertson died, Rodriguez, subject of the “Searching for Sugar Man” documentary also left this world.

Good Evening!  Today has been trying at best.  School prep is fine, there is a small fire that we need to put out soon and it has to do with someone I'm fond of, but it has to be taken care of.  The principal and I will talk again tomorrow.  In my other world, one of our cast members (and the director as well!)  has COVID - so we've all been testing and getting back to the producer with our results - I was negative.  So, if another woman tests positive, we can't have a show.  We have a male swing but not a female swing.  We do have one person that can cover the gal that has COVID, but one more and we won't be able to and perhaps will have to cancel the weekend. 


In the meantime, I'm listening to the RCA Broadway Strings and Velvet voices sing songs from No No Nanette (it's on Spotify) - it's very lovely.  I do love this score.
