I got dressed, turned on the TV and computer, dealt with emails, and just after 6:00, I headed for the kitchen to feed the cats. I don't know what happened this time - the cane slipped, my hand sltpped on something on the table  I used to support myself, but I lost my balance and fell to the floor; There's no serious injury, thank God, but it took me 10-15 minutes to assess my condition and determine the best method to get off the floor.

Oh, no! :o

I guess I’m a standing member of the not-great-night-of-sleep club.

Mine was to be expected with the cold and all, but it actually wouldn’t have been so bad if I didn’t have such swelling in my throat or whatever the soft tissues are back there, because it’s tricky staying comfortable in positions that support easier breathing.

I had to mop the floor and do what I could this morning to clean up the mess. My breakfast was a cup of coffee.

Around 8:30, I did kitty cleanup, then mopped the floor. I sent Joshie an email telling him I was not doing well and I was going back to bed. Around 10:00 I took two gabapenten and lay down with alhree cats. Around 2:00, I got up and vacuumemopped area, Then I fed the cats. I made myself a very tasty Swiss-mushroom omelet. I still hurt like hell.

There’s a local candidate whose first name is Rainbeau. Oy.

If that person married Randy Rainbow, they would be Rainbeau Rainbow! :))

I am so sorry about last (a She Loves Me reference)!  We had a full run-through for the costume, light and music designers.  For lunch, my friend Shelly and I went to Panda Express, and I tried their new (time-limited) Blazing Bourbon Chicken.  It wasn't horribly hot, but I liked it and thought it was quite tasty.  I'll definitely order tgat again.  Anyway, when I got home, I was planning on eating the leftover chow mein that I still have, but lost track of time while ketchuping on e-mails and game-playing on my phone. ::) I didn't even remember to eat the chow mein.

Do you have to throw out the chow mein?  (Doesn't chow mean get a bit gummy when reheated if kept in the fridge too long?)

I've had reheated chow mein and it was good enough...for me, at least. ;)

So Mia Farrow got Covid and was out of THE ROOMMATE and performances had to be cancelled three weeks ago.

Then Patti LuPone got Covid and was out of THE ROOMMATE and performances had to be cancelled this past Saturday, six days ago.

And as if this couldn't get more complicated, Patti LuPone has a concert scheduled for tonight (Friday) in Chicago that had been booked before she even agreed to be part of THE ROOMMATE, so that's a scheduled absence from THE ROOMMATE.

For the sake of those THE ROOMMATE investors, hoping insurance covers star absences due to Covid!




Oh, my!  And don't forget all the disappointed audience members!

More rehearsal vibes (and commute vibes) for George!

Thanks, Freddie!  I don't go back until Monday, so it'll be a local weekend. :)

I have to get the new Covid booster, but not till I'm over this cold. It's already feeling better, but I'd vowed to take a Covid test this morning. We'd just received the latest free shipment of four tests, but I'd also been putting off checking the dates on the hoard of tests left over from when the world was giving them out free every month. So I got the stash out and went through them on https://v.gd/c4domw

The extended date on every single one was long past, except for one brand that expired only two months ago. (Don't even ask about the other ones.) So as not to waste ALL of them, I decided to take a test with one of the two-month old ones, then repeat tomorrow with a new one. You should take it twice anyway, but thankfully it was negative.

So based on the dates, we're throwing away 31 (!) tests and keeping ten, only four of which are up-to-the-minute current. A little sad, but I guess there's nothing wrong with not having needed to use all of those over the last couple of years.

I'd read that even very expired tests are accurate, if one gets a positive result.  It does mean that how're positive.  However, if you get a negative result from an expired test, you would need to take another test with one that is within the Best By date to confirm.

Yeah, my "primary" and others there take a dim view of the home tests. EXCEPT when they're positive. But they've retested many people who were negative at home and positive in the lab.
