Well, you've read the notes, the notes weren't Saturday notes, and now it is time for you to post until the Saturday cows come home.

And the word of the day is: TRICKSY!

Good morning, all!
-
I slept rather well. Around 2:00 I had to get up and stretch my legs which were beginning to ache. I got back into bed to fin Thatch had taken my place. That meant rethinking my place in the bed and not disturbing Annabelle on her princess pillow. Some time later he left, and I moved back to my old position. Shoretly thereafter, Stella showed up. I slept for a b it, to be awakened by Thatch coming to curl up beside me. He stayed till the alarm rang.
-
I had several dreams I no longer remember, but the song "Without You" from Rent became an earworm for several hours.
-
I got the link to yesterday's rehearsal, but they were sent on the Indiana University site, not on yesterday's Microsoft, so I cannot access them. I've sent Jae an email about the problem.
-
DR Rodzinski, that prescription cost you $800? That's completely outrageous.
-
If that fat Orange Baboon wins the election, the wealthy will only do more to keep the rest of us in poverty. I am very disheartened by yesterday's elections.
-
Good morning, all.
-
omg, what a nightmare, DR Rodzinski.
Shame on our "healthcare system".
-
Thanks for the heads up, DR Elmore. I shall avoid ketchuping on news today. I've got plenty to concentrate on without that negative distraction weighing on me.
-
Rodzinski, such terrible news about insurance and that prescription. So sorry to hear what you're going through.
-
John G, how interesting that the energy from the audience seemed have been appreciated by the dancers!
-
Good morning.
-
The pistachio blondies were a big hit.
-
As were the brownies with walnuts, the olive oil cake, the royal icing cookies, and the gluten-free tiny cakes.
-
The poor minister doesn't have enough leftovers to take home to share with his children. Just enough for him to eat today.
-
I leave the leftovers for the minister so he'll like me best.
-
So far it is working.
-
The pistachio blondies were a big hit.
Cool!
-
Good morning, friends.
-
So sorry about the trials and tribulations, DR Rodzinski.
-
~~~CONTINUED HEALING VIBES~~~
-
I hope you are able to rest again today, DR vixmom.
-
until the Saturday cows come home.
It's a stampede!
-
.
-
Who decides these things?
-
Good morning, all.
-
Isn’t every day Oreo Cookie Day?
-
The pistachio blondies were a big hit.
Did you get a taste?
-
Two!
-
I leave the leftovers for the minister so he'll like me best.
:)
-
~~~MULTIPLE MODERN MAJOR MIRACLE VIBES~~~ for the likes of BK!!!!
-
Isn’t every day Oreo Cookie Day?
I should hope so!
-
I cannot access the link for yesterday's rehearsal. I sent the assistant conductor an email saying it was not the same server he used yesterday, and he says it is. So until someone in the music dept. clarifies the situation, I cannot listen. Damn!
-
So, DR Laura, it's the cookie plot to get yourself into Heaven? I'd need more than cookies.
-
Me, too, DR ELMORE....probably the whole damned bakery.
-
Sorry about the link DR ELMORE - I know nothing about tech....but can you try another browser - or post the link in Facebook and see if it will open there?
-
That prescription price is outrageous!!! I am horrified.
-
Yes.....I read all of the posts yesterday about folks thinking Facebook was doing to them what it did to me last week......sad.....
But in my limited experience from hell, it seems that the first thing the hacker does is change the email on your account so you can't access it.....then they change your password and you're done....and FACEBOOK WILL DO NOTHING because the account doesn't go against any of their rules.....
-
Wednesday.
I went to get my shelves for my newly cleared out closet. So I will let my brother Kent know so he can come and take down the wooden shelf and brackets sometime this week.
-
Today I have stripped the King Bed and the Twin Bed and my sister Paula and I will take the duvets and covers and spreads and sheets and pillow cases to the laundry to use their BIG machines.
-
And then I have physical therapy at 3:30 p.m.
-
Too much me on this page.
-
My question for ASK BK DAY:
I know you don't live in the neighborhood now, but have they started demolition of Television City yet?
-
I have decided I have had enough and I bought a new totem today....we shall see if I still have the mojo.
-
Sorry about the link DR ELMORE - I know nothing about tech....but can you try another browser - or post the link in Facebook and see if it will open there?
Or maybe, along those lines, put the link in a private message on this site and see if it might open from there?
-
I have decided I have had enough and I bought a new totem today....we shall see if I still have the mojo.
Can you say what the new totem is?
-
Too much me on this page.
Never too much!
-
Morning, all!
I slept very well. I languished abed this morning.
First thing that happened after I sat down to surf was a major sneezing fit.
Have been sneezing quite a bit in the past few days. I think it may be all the pollen in the air here.
Peach trees are blooming, grasses are growing and Spring seems to be in the air.
The weather here has been phenomenal for March. Temps in the mid to upper 70s have been with us for nearly a week.
-
I find myself sitting here on a Wednesday morning wondering where in hell the week has gone. I had a doctor's appointment Monday and went to The Fresh Market on the way home. Later that day, I picked up my completed tax returns from my CPA.
Yesterday, I wrote the checks for the taxes and mailed everything. Denny, the guy who keeps my yard cut and borders trimmed, etc., showed up and did a sterling job on the yard.
This past weekend, I watched a few films. First up was "The Banshees of Inisherin" with Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan. I loved it. The performances were all outstanding and worthy of their awards nominations.
Next up was "1917". I don't know what I was expecting, but I had no idea it was a character study set against "the war to end all wars". Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay was absolutely terrific as the two main soldiers sent out on a dangerous mission/errand. I was expecting a scale similar to "Dunkirk" and found an intimate story based on true events. It was a joy to experience.
And finally, at long last, I can say I have seen "The Fabelmans". What a treat! First, I think it only fair to comment that it is not the typical Spielberg film. It has some terrific performances, a decent script and some cool nostalgic surprises, but it really wasn't a major Oscar contender except for two things: Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. Michelle Williams was wondrous as Mitzi. Judd Hirsch took his few minutes screen time and molded them into a phenomenal performance that should be studied by anyone who loves character acting. The surprise for me was David Lynch as John Ford. And that closing scene was a treat!
-
I guess I had better get what is left of my day "started".

From DR Rodzinski:
Well docs called and told us they got further culture results and the antibiotic we were given was useless, so we got a new prescription and then no Walgreens or CVS had the stuff but we found a small pharmacy that did, so I drove an hour to Bellingham and then our insurance wouldn’t pay because it was out of network, so the pharmacist was nice enough to reduce the price from $1200 to $800, so there you have life in these modern times.
Groan! Major vibes this antibiotic works. Do you know what she actually has?
-
The poor minister doesn't have enough leftovers to take home to share with his children. Just enough for him to eat today.
I expect his children were disappointed :)
-
I leave the leftovers for the minister so he'll like me best.
;D
-
So far it is working.
I'm sure for other reasons as well.
-
Yes.....I read all of the posts yesterday about folks thinking Facebook was doing to them what it did to me last week......sad.....
But in my limited experience from hell, it seems that the first thing the hacker does is change the email on your account so you can't access it.....then they change your password and you're done....and FACEBOOK WILL DO NOTHING because the account doesn't go against any of their rules.....
That was the reason for the scare, it said to sign in and then said the password didn't work.
-
I must leave for my regular two year MRI. I just wish I didn't have a mild migraine.
-
Three!
-
Thanks for the movie repor DR RON PULLIAM.
I have seen neither The Fabelmans NOR 1917.....but both sound interesting & entertaining. I did like Banshees....
I also have not seen the remake of All Quiet On The Western Front which hopefully will turn up on one of my cheapskate services sooner or later.
-
More modern MAJOR miracles vibes for MR BK.
-
DR FREDDIE the story will be told when I see some results as time goes by.

Does anyone pine for the halcyon days of yore?
-
Does anyone pine for the halcyon days of pine molding?
-
Does anyone pine for Chris Pine?
-
Too much me on this page.
That's never stopped me.
-
To considerable consternation, I'm sure.
-
The pistachio blondies were a big hit.
Did you get a taste?
No. I gave up carbs for Lent.

He doesn't tell them about it.

They gave me that for dental surgery.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

I haven't been down that way in a while - I'll check.
-
I'm up, I'm up - maybe, and I say maybe, five hours of sleep.
-

No rush.....maybe a couple of telephone pictures would be nice.....so sad.....but time marches on.

Smart thinking, Laura. ;)

Isn’t every day Oreo Cookie Day?
But, of course! I actually have some Oreos in a ziploc bag in my fridge (portion control), and a whole (as yet unopened) package in my pantry. ;D
-
Well - the king comforter, the full size top duvet, the four pillow cases, the light coverlet, the king flat & fitted sheets and the twin spread from the guest room are now sparkling clean and put back in place.
I used Gain Flings and they worked really well even in COLD water. About 20 minutes to wash - so we went across the street for an omelet breakfast......then another 20 minutes to dry so we went shopping at OLLIE'S - I had my 10% off coupon.
And now I am dressed and ready to head out to Physical Therapy in about 15 minutes.....
I could use one DR LAURA's pistachio blondies.
-
So, DR Laura, it's the cookie plot to get yourself into Heaven? I'd need more than cookies.
Me, too, DR ELMORE....probably the whole damned bakery.
Ditto! ::)

LOL......

Never! :D

DR Jrand I hope PT went well.
-
I am sipping water for my sore muscles after my MRI.
-
I am quite vexed by Indiana University. I have waited seven hours for someone to respond or come to my aid so I can hear yesterday's rehearsal. I just sent a rather frustrating email about the situation along with a suggestion that the pianist, a slight Asiangirl, be replaced by someone with balls. I need an aggressive Broadway player who plays Gershwin's Concerto in F one night and a jazz ensemble the next.
-
DR Jrand I hope PT went well.
Same here, hoping PT went well, Jrand!

We seem to be close to page 4.

Thank you. My muscles are feeling better but I still feel a bit off balanced.

Good evening
-
I slept a lot last night and then I went to the office today
-
I worked from 930 -330 and then I came home
-
We had a sudden busy spell and my desk was stacked high with files.
-
I got all the priorities and reaching deadline ones out of the way and organized my priorities for tomorrow
-
I masked up and the only “common” machine I touched was the copier / scanner, but used my stylus not my fingers on the buttons and touched only my own papers
-
I’m sure as soon as I left my entire desk area was lysolled by someone
-
I wouldn’t have been there at all if not for the new CDC ruling…no need to isolate , can return to public when you’ve been 24 hours fever free
-
Iam so sorry Little Miss Rodzinski is still poorly and the prescription prices are reprehensible!
-
Have you all considered applying to move to Canada?
-
If Mrs R has citizenship, I assume the kids have dual, that should make the process easier.

Maybe I’ll mind my own beeswax and Wordle

Has anyone seen the ABC series Will Trent? Thoughts?

I love Will Trent with the exception of the actress who plays his boss...she seems to be doing a different show.
-
Thanks DR JANE & DR FREDDIE - yes PT was good today.
I have some new exercises and my therapist is pleased with my progress.....
-
Watching some basketball tonight and lolling about in my freshly clean bedwear......
-
Ushering for Brian Setzer tonight. I thought he was with his orchestra. Doesn’t seem to be the case. Still, should be some great rockabilly.
-
The drive to Fredericksburg today was beautiful. Perfect weather in the Hill Country. Lots of wildflowers, though not as many as there will be in a few weeks.
-

Thrilled at your test results, DR Jane.

Glad you are doing better, DR vixmom, but wish you could rest more before returning to your daily routine.
-
Such good news DR JANE! Congratulations!
-
And continued recovery vibes for DR VIXMOM.
I was thinking I kind of had a VIXMOM Day - with three things going on......
-
Thrilled at your test results, DR Jane.
Thank you.
-
I grabbed a piña colada and practiced my cantata.
-
Such good news DR JANE! Congratulations!
Thank you.

Well, I didn't have a colada at hand.
-
Glad you are doing better, DR vixmom, but wish you could rest more before returning to your daily routine.
Excellent advise.
-
But I did practice.
-
Continued book vibes for MR BK.....very excited that it is getting closer.

Glad you are making progress with your PT, DR Jrand73.

I am never very good about doing the exercises they ask you to do on your own at home.

So it is nice to have some accountability when you go to them.

iTunes has a 2-hour "Original Broadway Cast Recording" of Galt MacDermot's The Human Comedy.
I know nothing about this show.
-
Yay DR Jane!
-
The album cover has a drawing of a train.
Shades of On the Twentieth Century?

That sounds like a pretty decent lineup, DR Laura.

Goodnight, Jane!

The drive to Fredericksburg today was beautiful. Perfect weather in the Hill Country. Lots of wildflowers, though not as many as there will be in a few weeks.
Awesome! Sounds a lot better than my drive today, which included a torrential blinding rainstorm on Alligator Alley. What's the word for "whiteout" when it's rain instead of snow? "Grayout?" The saving grace was knowing the road is completely straight.
-
Wow - do crawling critters ever end up on the road in those conditions?
-

I never heard of it either, so I looked it up on Google. Wikipedia says it's his last Broadway musical, from 1983. But they did an oratorio-style staging, a sure-fire recipe for Broadway success, right? In that case it may work better as a cast recording than as a semi/non-staged show. If you give it a listen please report back!

The highway is pretty separated from the gators, so probably not. But I saw all sorts of interesting reptiles in Florida cemeteries that you never see in New York or London! This was for my family history research, not a funeral.

It has a couple of nice songs in it.
-
Brian Setzer’s voice was shot. He made Lauren Bacall sound good. He blamed the bus trip from Tulsa. I wonder if he passed through the panhandle wildfires.
-
His guitar playing was excellent. He did a solo instrumental of Georgia on My Mind thst was special.
-
But we were told he plays 90 minutes, then gets back on his and leaves. I don’t know about the bus part, but, sure enough, he left the stage at the 90-minute mark.

Rehearsal went well.

We started near the end of act one, but not right where we left off from last night.
-
We finished act one, then started blocking act two and got about three pages before the end of the scene.

We ended there because it was right at 10:00.
-
We locked up the building, and then I came home.

Gratuitous Post #200!!
-
I found that I had some snail mail that needed my attention, so I attended to some of it...by recycling it.
-
;)
-
I also found some snail mail that should not be recycled, so I'll need to actually attend to those.
-
Fortunately, there are only two or three items that I need to deal with, so that's good.
-
But it shouldn't be difficult to deal with those things.
-
In the meantime...

I'd better get my fingers in gear...
