Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the disastrous day and then the Day of the Do, and now it is time for you to post until the Day of the Do cows come home.

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.

Yesterday, there was neither burritos nor jam.  I pretty much only had some leftover pizza and a McDonald's cheeseburger.  And some milk.  It was enough. :)

Topic of the Day:  today, we're all going to my mom's for our family gift-giving-and-receiving.  We exchanged names, so we don't have to get something for everyone.  I got my sister's name.  I got her a set of 12 scented candles, one for each month.  I just need to wrap it in the morning. :)

I have an early Christmas Eve service to sing, but then I will be done. A lot of churches are jettisoning the traditional late Christmas Eve service.

I've been melancholy this morning. I used to go across the street to Holy Trinity Catholic Church on the afternoon of Christmas Eve to pray for family, friends, and the dead I miss.I also pray for a better year than the one that's ending. I'm not Catholic, but the church is beautful, and the peace, quiet, and my weeping over those I miss, living and dead, consoles me. I can no longer manage the church steps and the walker, and these days the list of dead is longer than the living. So, this mornming I was thinking about our DR TCB and how much I miss him among my long list of the dead - friends and lovers - I mourn daily. I am not depressed, just melancholy.

I have no plans for tomorrow. I will open the few Christmas cards I've received in the mail, putter about the apartment, and play with the cats. Ann and Jen may stop by, but it will be a quiet day.

Yesterday, DR singdaw posted: One of the best things of my year are all of you folks here.

I feel much the same.

This morning, Stella escaped again, only this time she did not stay on three. When I realized she was lost, I had to get the walker and ead out in search. I began at five, the top floor. I stepped off the elevator and called her name; she was not there. When I called her name, she answered, so I headed to floor. She wasn't ther. I passed three for two. The elevator doors opened and there she was. I coaxed her into the lift, and we rode up to three. She followed me off the elevator, then waited for me to wrestle the walker into the apartment before she stepped inside. Then the cats got their breakfast.

I was quite proud of myself that I did not have a fit of anger over her escape but remained calm and amicable. That isn't always the case.

Last night, I was flipping through Amazon Prime movies, and there was a new item listed, The First Nudie Musical, so we watched it, and I laughed myself silly. It was a nice way to end the day.

BK, I understand completely your frustrations over the situation, but it seems to me that the car, for which I recall you have given the dealership a payment, is not going to anyone else. Perhaps a call to the dealer and an esplanation of what's going on with the insurance company, might ease your mind?

Yesterday, my British conductor friend Joe asked me for arranging/orchestration lessons in 2025. I may get a roster of students yet.
