DR JohnG, I feel puny too often, so I hope it passes through your system quickly.

I've got no food in the house, so I had hot dogs for dinner. The cats' Fancy Feast looked awfully tempting.

I’m treating myself to the color version of Jacques Tati’s Jour de Fete, a guaranteed pick-me-up.

Shingles #1 was the first time I ever had a reaction to a vaccination (except a really sore arm from Tetanus shots).  I was really tired and achy, as I recall.

Keith & I did not like our first shot, especially the fact that the person who gave it to us made it extra painful.


Was that person clumsy in giving the shot?

We think she new, and I don't remember ever seeing her there again.  She stabbed us super hard.

:( Oy!

Futzed and finessed - not too much for yesterday's fifteen pages - just grammar, punctuation, a few deletions and additions. Wrote two new pages and am into a new chapter now.

Making Wacky Noodles for food, then I'll resume writing. Around three or thereabouts, I'll go to the mail place and see what's what. Unless I just wait until tomorrow, which I may do so that I don't completely interrupt the writing.

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.

Just finished watching Billy Wilder's documentary about the Nazi concentration camps, Death Mills. It's a bad copy, out of focus and devastating. Watch at your discretion.

My DH came home from the store with a four-pound wheel of gorgonzola.

Enjoying the murder mystery The Golden Spoon, which is set during a reality show called Bake Week. Baking and bloodshed. Good recipe for fun.

Very strange Friday.

Cold, some snow, some freezing rain and sleet.  Black ice everywhere.

Haven't gone out.

We had some light snow early this morning (after sunrise) but it changed to the icy stuff.

Sad.

Jour de Fete, at 80 minutes, was fun. The documentary on the movie is longer than that and not very enlightening.
