I was at the store yesterday. I was only picking up half a dozen things I knew I'd want over the weekend. I passed the cake, and didn't even stop to look. And you know what? We have freezing rain out there today.

Let this be a cautionary tale to you all.

My dream had a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and it really only covered one interesting thing. Mostly, it was somewhat irritating, and as I think back upon it I think it was preventing me from getting solid rest. Or maybe I was dreaming that I wasn't getting solid rest. In the end, does it matter?

I'll answer that.  No.

Sadly, yes, although I gather the radiation affects every patient differently. I see the radiologist after treatment each Wednesday so they can learn what it's doing to me.

With the subfreezing temperatures we've been having, and with the very light schedule I've had since the first of the year, I've been backing the car out of the garage and letting it run for fifteen minutes every couple of days. I'm just superstitious now about the battery, even though we have the as-yet-unused charger here...which is wonderful to remember. It's still sitting in a corner, and every couple of days when I pass by it I give the check-voltage button a push just to see that it's still charged. Which of course it is, but hey, I get to indulge in my little superstitions, right?

I saw our neighbor/friend at the gym today.  He mentioned he was able to get some free N95 masks at Fred Meyer but Safeway didn't have any.  From the gym we went to Safeway so I asked the pharmacy if they had any.  They did.  While Fred Meyer left them out for people to take, Safeway keeps them behind the counter and you need to ask for them.

They gave me three masks.

TOD:
I started watching HOPE STREET, a new-to-me British crime drama on Britbox. So far it's quite good. No blood and gore, no car chases, and the police behave humanely.

I had a terrible night. Bathroom breaks every 45 minutes, and I could not get to sleep until some time after midnight.

I'm so sorry you're going through all this.

Several years ago I wanted to pee all the time. The kosher acupuncturist, who also has a PhD in nutrition, suggested pumpkin seed extract. I tried the one by Life Extension (capsules) and it really helped.

I have never quite been the same since the surgery to pulverize some bladder stones. And the surgeon never once mentioned beforehand what some of the lasting effects might be.

They never do.

The cats and I have begun watching the Mrs Bradley Mysteries again. Diana Rigg is perfect.

I always liked that series. I thought Neil Dudgeon was particularly good as the driver.

Welcome, Baby Maxwell!

Do you have any pets? Do you like cherry coke?

We expect you to start posting ASAP!

Vibes for MR BK.  I have found that the USPS is slow in delivering things nowadays.....my credit card payment that I mailed on January 15 has still not been received.

I guess it's time to go to auto pay - but.....I'm old.

Autopay can be very convenient. Less to do is good, right?

DR George I am glad you won't be going to your mother's today.

I concur. No point in taking unnecessary risks.

What a strange day.

I think I've been feeling Mercury riding out of town on a rail. That much is good.

Mercury was still very present here yesterday. Perhaps it moves from East to West?

For the past several years, new snowplows joining the Minnesota fleet are named by a public contest. I reported on some of the entries previously, but today the new winners were announced.  They are, in no particular order:

Betty Whiteout
CTRL+(S)ALT+DEL
The Big Leplowski
Plowasaurus Rex
Scoop Dogg
Blizzard of Oz
No More Mr. Ice Guy
Edward Blizzardhands

How fun! Puts a smile on people's faces.

Today was acupuncture, then I picked up some food at Julie's.

What did you get?

In addition to my usual Italian salad, I asked Julie if she'd prepare Pasta Primavera. Some weeks ago I asked her about adding it to the menu. It turns out that it used to be on it -- I don't know why she took it off. She agreed, but today was the first time I've had hers. It was good, but there are others I prefer.

Watching the original Suspiria, which I had never seen. It's amazing, even if it appears to have been filmed on a budget spent entirely on color. The dubbed voices are irritating. Joan Bennett is still wearing Hedy Lamarr's old hair. And Alida Valli thinks she's Ilsa, she wolf of the SS. And yet, it's very scary.

Bedtime once again.

Once again, it is hard to recollect the day...either the day I just lived or the one that will follow.

I'm up, I'm up - got in bed at six - so zonked - fell asleep and got up just before ten. I HATE doing that but I needed the extra four hours really bad. The problem with me and evening naps is I don't feel good when I wake up from them. I'll write some notes, shave so I don't have to do that in the morning, and then try to be back in bed by twelve-thirty.

I'm sorry to hear that you never fully recovered. Have you considered acupuncture? It helps with so many things. I hope you find improvement.

When my sleep cycle gets out of wack I find it difficult to get it back to normal.
