Unquote.

All was good and quiet on West 82nd Street until 4:45 when Annabelle, sleeping beside me, had a violent sneezing fit and blew snot everywhere.  Then Stella got under my bed and played very noisily with a brush.  Annabelle calmed down and went back to sleep.  Stella did not.

T.O.D.

Except for Warner Bros. cartoons, I'm not much into short films.

Obviously, my favorite is one I made back in 1964, GENESIS, which was narrated by John Carradine.

Not much market for short films.

Last night's dream started with one weird little vignette, the origin of which is a mystery to me, then it became one of my fairly common themes:  my house, which is never like my real house or any other place I've lived, even though sometimes in the dream it's supposed to be one of those. The main thing about this iteration was a secret passage that I hadn't used in years. I now thought it would be neat to use it, but I had trouble finding the place to enter it, and when I figured that out I couldn't remember how to get the entrance open. And then I woke up. The End.

I'm up, I'm up - barely.  Set the alarm last night, didn't go off so was awakened by knocking.  This iPad has had it, I think.  Just done as done can be.  It's given good service - second generation, so that's how old - just looked it up - April 2012.  Eight years for an Apple product is pretty good.

One potential guest isn't happening - oh, well.  I think it might have happened if she hadn't gotten some kind of TV hosting thing that starts next week, but she's weird and it's fine.  The one I really want is still neither yay or nay - we're hoping yay but it may be a last-minute thing.  And the recently-set guest is already nervous about doing her number because she's who she is and that's what she does.  But I had this problem with one person in the last show and we got her through it fine.  I try to explain that this is what the foreseeable future is and everyone better get used to it.  We'll see - I have back-up plans should she drop, but the track is done and I would not be happy.

DR Jeanne was talking about the shortage of coins the other day.  I actually have quite a few since I pay for everything with credit cards.   I used to need quarters for the washers and dryers in the basement, but for the last few years they take credit cards.   Occasionally there's a problem with the internet so I have to use quarters then.

So a few days ago I went to the supermarket (Giant) with the intention of cashing in my coins in the Coinstar machine.  Well, there was an electronic sign saying it was out of order.   A day or two later I was going to the post office.  There's a Safeway a few stores down, so I decided to bring my coins there.  I went in Safeway --that Coinstar was also out of order.   Yesterday I was back at Giant and looked to see if the machine was working.  Now the sign said that it was full.   Today when I returned my DVD I checked out the Coinstar and it appears to be working, but rather than get my coins from the trunk of my car, I decided to wait till the supermarket is less crowded.    That's my exciting story for today.

You may have felt it but Uranus has gone retrograde in Taurus therefore:

When innovative Uranus goes retrograde in monetarily minded Taurus, you tend to take stock of your life in terms of what things are worth. Do you have the material possessions that you want, or is your bank balance as high as you’d like it to be?
 
At the same time, this transit asks you to evaluate yourself in terms of your own personal worthiness. Have you already contributed as much as you’d like to the world? And if not, how can you add more to it in the future?

DR Jeanne was talking about the shortage of coins the other day.  I actually have quite a few since I pay for everything with credit cards.   I used to need quarters for the washers and dryers in the basement, but for the last few years they take credit cards.   Occasionally there's a problem with the internet so I have to use quarters then.   



Regular credit cards or laundry cards?  I think Craig buys laundry cards to use and uses cash to put money on them.



Regular Visa, Master Card, etc.

Now I understand why we have a nationwide coin shortage. Never mine what the Federal Reserve says, it's because DRs TCB and Kevin have been hoarding it all in their piggy banks!!

And TCB, I may take you up on your offer.



Haha!   If you want me to send quarters, let me know!

The only person who touched me was my namesake and she was double masked, gloved and gowned

Great, especially the double mask.  They are too close for this one.  Did they give you a second mask to wear?

No they didn’t, but my mask is 4 layers with a replaceable filter layer as well , as a 5th layer.  It fits snugly under my chin and up to the bridge of my nose

Well, damnation!  It seems, whenever I find food or treat the cats actually like, it doesn't hang around long.  Thatch's Wild salmon treats are back, but Annabelle loves this Purina dry food with ocean whitefish,  It's the one guarantee I can give her when she's stopped up and not eating.  Well, when I tried to order more this week, Amazon, Petco, and Chewy had removed it from their websites.  I just contacted Purina, and they are no longer making it.

I am sorry.  The Vixter and I were the kiss of death if we visited a restaurant we had passed many times  and kept saying we’d visit.  It would immediately close forever as soon as we enjoyed a meal and vowed to return.

It happened with 4 restaurants .

We parked at Safeway and went for a walk through the old cemetery down the road.  There are newer graves there as well.  We like to browse cemeteries.  Today we saw a marker we have never seen anywhere before.  Instead of the birth year and birth death it showed the exact time of birth and the exact time of death, about 3 minutes apart :(

Took a break from the big Barbirolli box to listen to the little Barbirolli box of RCA and Columbia recordings.  Six CDs and I'll tell you something - these recordings are all from around 1937 when he conducted for the New York Phil - and  they sound AMAZING and so much better than the shellac transfers in the other set from a decade later.

So a few days ago I went to the supermarket (Giant) with the intention of cashing in my coins in the Coinstar machine.  Well, there was an electronic sign saying it was out of order.   A day or two later I was going to the post office.  There's a Safeway a few stores down, so I decided to bring my coins there.  I went in Safeway --that Coinstar was also out of order.   Yesterday I was back at Giant and looked to see if the machine was working.  Now the sign said that it was full.   Today when I returned my DVD I checked out the Coinstar and it appears to be working, but rather than get my coins from the trunk of my car, I decided to wait till the supermarket is less crowded.    That's my exciting story for today.

My credit union has a coin counter in its lobby and if you have your coins counted, then bring the receipt to the teller and have the amount deposited into your account, there is no fee.  But if you're just someone off the street and want the cash, there's a fee.  I don't know how much, though.

Have fun.  We had our first social event planned for tomorrow.  We set the guidelines.  Since we don't want to sit outside, without shade, in 100 degree temps we have postponed for a week.

I'm going to my parents' again tomorrow, just to hang out and play cards.  It's supposed to get up to 98° here in Tumwater! :o
