And now, I'm off to bed.  Having a day off means that I'll need to ketchup today.  I hate it when that happens. ::)

Have a good day, all!

Classic unprepared dream last night. I had to perform a rapid-patter song which I had not prepared. Well, I had prepared it, but the edition/translation in my folder wasn't the one I had learned. Anyway, it was a mess.

I finally got a good night's sleep, and for the first time in some time I was actually asleep by 10:00.  Lately I've been going to bed around 9:00 but, because of the leg pains and worries, not getting to sleep before midnight. I remember no dreams.

Yes DR CHAS SMITH I am still watching 911 and last's night's episode is most exciting.....I like the guy who is playing the villain in this particular arc....

Of course I am also partial to 911 Lone Star.....and tonight The Resident starts up again.  I have given up on The Good Doctor which moved even further into idiocy last season, so it's off my list this year.
Title: Re: LUSH
Post by: Jrand74 on September 28, 2021, 04:39:57 AM
Today I have a check up with my regular doctor.

Then I shall stop my the oncologist and radiologist who seem to have lost my name.  I know I am due for a regular appointment with both - but since one doctor moved on to another practice and the other one retired....I haven't heard from them.

Although I did get an email from the radiologist telling me I had an appointment on July 1.  I got the email on July 21.

And what with the colonoscopy scheduled for next Monday - I thought I would just get all the ducks in a row.

Yes, wouldn't that be nice. So would I, and I'm sorry to say my schedule this week utter prohibits any such thing.

Why is this in Sharon, CT? Does he come from that area? (I ask this, of course, without doing any of the required research.)

Yes, we are devout followers of both '911's. I for one am always interested in the L.A. locales, which can get pretty hilarious with the utterly fictitious geographic relationships that abound. But both have their excellent casts and fascinating characters and story arcs.

We lost touch with The Resident back when they changed the schedules on us. That's no excuse, but we just haven't yet done the ketchup work required.

Ah, my close personal friend Mr. Google says that’s precisely where he lives. In Sharon.

Which isn't far from where Tom Jones lives. And in turn, where Stephen Sondheim lives.

Boy, did this turn into a crappy day outside. It started off clear and comfortable, and turned into a dark, chilly, rainy mess. I just turned the heat on, which I suddenly realized was sorely needed. Looks like the rest of the day is more of the same.

I had two cousins named Sharon and Sandra....  They were both cheerleaders and most talented singers and dancers.

Sharon passed away about a year ago....and I haven't seen Sandy for many years.

And of course Sharon is a geographical place in the Holly Bibble.

So I have THREE appointments in October not counting the colonoscopy that is scheduled for next Monday.

I haven't had so much attention focused on me since one night at the Metro Bar in downtown Indy when I wore my sleeveless t-shirt.

And just at that moment of epiphany, I also realized I had a Benadryl day on my hands. The sneezing had begun just before I got up, and I stayed in denial far too long.

I will pass on saying yum so as not to take it back ;)

This doesn't have hazelnuts...and you can use any kind of nuts for the crust.  It's quite delish!

True, it just did not look good to me.  While I can eat them, pecans are not a favorite.

The outside work is done, but my photos are too large.  You can see them on Facebook.

I headed right there to see them.  It looks beautiful.  I expect you are very pleased.

So far so good.  I haven’t broken anything yet and fixed a few things.  They seem to like me and I don’t dislike any them .

I almost know everyone’s names.


The fun thing is how many people come into the office and know me.  I’ve been averaging a reunion every other day or so with visiting attorneys, paralegals, closers, the IT guy…that’s been fun .

We have begun watching the new series FOUNDATION.  I loved the books when I read them though I don't recall much since it has been a long time.  I read that the series is reflecting a more modern representation of women, at that Asimov had actually updated his books to do just that.  Good for him.  I expect I read the updated versions.

Should you drink a lush whilst listening to a lush opera?

Perhaps - if you ARE a lush, and are luxuriously bathing in a nice Lush product.

And all the while eating a Chocolate Lush (https://feastandfarm.com/chocolate-delight/)!

I will pass on saying yum so as not to take it back ;)

This doesn't have hazelnuts...and you can use any kind of nuts for the crust.  It's quite delish!

True, it just did not look good to me.  While I can eat them, pecans are not a favorite.

My mom has made them with cashews, and I think walnuts, also...at separate times, of course.

So, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a new (to me) newish phone to replace my 5-year old LG G5.
Title: Re: LUSH
Post by: George on September 28, 2021, 10:18:41 PM
The main reason that I replaced it is that my LG G5 only (only??) has 32GB of internal memory, and it keeps filling up with the cache memory, and I now have to continually clear the cache to free up space. 
Title: Re: LUSH
Post by: George on September 28, 2021, 10:19:08 PM
