There's something new on the musical scene.

Probing!

We had a good laugh about the “staging” of our old house.  After getting all of our stuff out and paying to have all the holes in the walls covered up, we watched our realtor and her daughter drag a bunch of generic stuff back in and put new holes in the walls to hang pictures that look like they came out of a hotel room.

Ha!

DR Ginny I hope you feel your home looks better staged than empty.

We are deferring to the wisdom of our realtor.  I don’t like the new chandelier and sconces she put into the dining room, but she says they’re what 30-somethings like.

I am not sure I want to see that clarinet performance.

But I would think that a clarinet rectal would be easier to take than a piano rectal spinet, upright, or high-toned baby grand.

This salad is what you eat to counteract some of those cookies.

Annual viewing of Black Nativity. I like this movie better and better each year. Jennifer Hudson is especially impressive.

An accordion version might get the concert rated PG-13.

Sophie the Dog has departed. I must say, I think by the end she really liked me - she licked/kissed my hand before she left, which she's never done and she gave me her paw. Couch is now shorn of all the sheets/towels and while I'm sure there's still a residual smell there, I couldn't find any hair because we wrapped everything so well, and there shouldn't be any on the wood floors because she never touched them. In fact, she would not get off the rug she was on to take the five steps to the door and I had to literally drag her and the rug to the door.

Today was not my day. I didn’t sleep well last night, but managed to get more tossing done, albeit slowly. I ordered a tostada salad from Grubhub, but after taking it out of the bag the plastic container split and my dinner fell to the floor. 🙁☹️ I ordered another, which arrived quickly. Next to my order was an Amazon package from a friend, which contained a small tin with a gift card. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to open the tin. 🙁🙁. At least I had dinner. Sigh.

Did I mention how cold it is? My new storm window does help some, but it’s a very drafty apartment and on rainy days, like today, it’s just very cold. Brrrr!

Was kept waiting more than an hour to see the doctor.

Can you get stressed from waiting so long for the stress test?

It caused my blood pressure to go up to 118 over 62. That’s about 10 points higher than normal.

Those are still really good numbers, aren't they?

Yes, they are.
