Today, I have my annual eye exam. I'm eligible to get new frames and lenses. If I need a new prescription, I'll probably et new frames, and keep my current frames and lenses as another back-up. If I don't need a new prescription, I'm thinking about trying contacts again. The only reason that I stopped wearing them was that they can be just a little too inconvenient to deal with...not a lot, just a little. But I actually have some sunglasses that I can't wear because of my regular glasses. So, the contacts. Maybe. ;D
Congrats to MR BK & Co on the wonderful show. It sounds DEE-lightful.
HA! I too wish I had thought of DR VIXMOM's rejoinder.....however she seems a bit fragile and I wouldn't have wanted to be accused of bullying.
However if she is there again tonight and reads for one of the men's parts - I will indeed ask to read for Call Girl....and show her how to get some laughs with some lines.
This weekend was a busy one. We closed our little variety show with 2 shows on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. It was a great run, but a bit ill-attended. This week is tech for Mamma Mia! (my guilty pleasure musical) and since the theatre I'm working at blew their musician budget for the season on the first 3 shows, this show is using tracks - and I'm running them. There is an art to this, and being a musical director, I'm able to add nuance and stuff to the show just at a push of a button at the right time! Plus, it's a nice paycheck!
If you're going to the store at the start of the week, bring a friend. Your shopping is best done with a partner right now. You may need some advice, or you may go in on a big purchase together. The benefits of the shopping excursion also may have nothing to do with the shopping itself. A conversation with a pal on Wednesday about the difference between the things you want and the things you need sets you up to be in deep-thinking mode on Thursday and Friday. This weekend, if you're feeling stuck, take a risk.
Topic of the Day: we never celebrated "Cinco de Mayo," we celebrated MY birthday! ;)
Cheesecake and chocolate anything.
Got news on Facebook of the death of a former coworker who was one of the funniest people I ever met. Steve tried his hand at standup comedy years ago. I hadn’t seen him years.
And I just got news of a huge inoperable mass on the brain of a second cousin -- not someone I've really "known", but one who I've been around a few times over the past several years. He's somewhere around 60 years of age.
And there was no check in today's mail.
Belated birthday wishes to George. I was out of town and didn’t take my laptop. Hope it was a great day
Ugh! I was busy all weekend and missed DR George's bday!
Happy Birthday, DR George

The one time use contacts are very convenient.

Okay, who wants to go in with me on the condo?

I shall be on my way in a bit for the second session of auditions....if there are a lot of folks there, I may not get to read again.
HOWEVER toward the end of the evening, if it's not too late, I hope I am able to use DR VIXMOM's suggestion.

There is that, but I didn't (at the time...and still don't) want to have to keep paying for them over and over again.

Well, what in hell are you waitin' for?? ;)
This check is not only screwing up my financial life, but it's playing with my health - I cannot get to the pharmacy to pay for my meds from last week's visit to my HMO - and Annabelle's, but with my social life. I cannot make tomorrow afternoon's dress for High Button Shoes since I must be here to deposit the check if it arrives in tomorrow's mail. With the rate my luck is going, I'll sit here all day tomorrow and it will not be in the post.
Congrats on another successful show, BK!
~~~SUPER CHECK ARRIVAL VIBES FOR DR ELMORE!!~~~$$$$$$$Ditto$$$$$$$
Congrats on another successful show, BK!
And more congratulations!

Yes, congratulations! I had to rush to leave early today for an unpleasant test and just now read the notes.
I did use DR VIXMOM's suggestion at the end of the day.....we had had three readings of The Call Girl with three Georges and three CGs.
Then the director asked if anybody wanted to read anything they hadn't read.....so I raised my hand and said: "Maybe you would like to hear the Call Girl from and older and wiser perspective.....and male.....I think that would be interesting."
There was general mirth and merriment.....and then the director said thank you and declined the offer.
AND now we wait for the results.....
Well, I'm off to the movies with my sister.
Be back later! But before I go...
Well, I believe the condo of my dreams is now only a memory. On Saturday, I told my agent to offer a split on the Closing Costs; $2,500 from me and $4,000 from the Seller. This morning, I sent my agent a notice that I could not offer any money towards the Closing Costs. Although the Seller could conceivably offer to pay all of the costs themselves, basically that is the end of my involvement in the purchase of this condo.
The bad day continues. I came home and noticed a text from a friend who has been undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. It turns out she has had a stroke on top of it all. Two years ago, Jan came through quadruple bypass surgery. I think everything has taken a heavy toll on her.
Good news on Jane's MRI.
I'm still dealing with the mini whiplash that resulted from hitting my head. That was my acpuncturist's assessment and it looks like she was right. Sigh.

It's 9:33 and I'm still waiting for a delivery from Amazon. We try to pick up all packages quickly because they've been known to walk off.
Lots of drama today about the revue. Can't really go into it, but it's a real shame. The entire cast is upset - well, we're all kind of thinking a situation was handled very poorly, but we have to do the show and I've asked everyone to please accentuate the positive, which they will because they're complete pros. I'm the peacekeeper right now as it involves, at least at this moment, one person who is rightfully very angry and upset, as they should be.
Well, I'm off to the movies with my sister.
Be back later! But before I go...
I hope it is good.
This morning I had an MRI and by 6:00 my doctor's office called to tell me the results were negative :)
I am pleased with the fast call.

What movie did you go see?
The Seller’s agent contacted my agent and asked if I would put up $1,500 towards the Closing Costs.
I told my agent I would sleep on it, and get back to her in the morning.
