~~~Vibes for a Modern Major Miracle Pronto for BK!!~~~
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
I did, indeed, have a much better night of sleep.
-
~~~CONTINUED MULTIPLE MODERN MAJOR MIRACLE VIBES~~~ for the likes o' BK!!! Pronto.
-
More modern major miracle vibes for BK!
-
Moving vibes for singdaw and his DH! Vibes the transfer of stuff to the new apartment can start very soon!
-
Good morning, all!
-
Notes calibrated. Adjusted.
-
Good morning, Larry!
-
So far it's been a lousy morning. At 6:15 my phone rang. It was the Amazon Fresh delivery askig mew to ring them in. I asked, Are you here? I didn't hear you ring my bell. So, I pressed the door buzzer for 10-12 seconds and waited for the elevator to come up.
-
Well, it didn't, and the phone rang again. The delivery asked me to ring him in. I asked, you you on the right street? Are you at 202? There was this fumbling on the phone, and he said, I see 3R and 3F; I don't see 3C. You are not at the right building, I stated. Are you even opn 82nd Street?
-
I went back to my chair and sat down while I loked up the number I had for Amazon Fresh. I decided to call and complain. My door buzzed and bizzed and buzzed and buzzed, even though my iinstructions state I am a cripple and it may take me a minute to get to the door. Well, the delivery finally arrived, the delivery man was very apologetic, but the bags were wet from the rain and starting to fall apart. The tortilla chips were completely crumbled from lousy packing, so I have things to discuss with Amazon Fresh today.
-
So, I will spend some time this morning putting things away. When I take the junk to the basement, I will pick up any mail. I hope to God that book from BK is sitting down there. The current issue with the post office, besides the missing/misdellivered/stolen packages - they were clearly in someone's hands when the tracking info was scanned - the post office seems reluctant to eitherpolice their carriers or seriously investigate claims from customers or the literacy/dyslexia of their employees.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I woke at 5:30, used the necessary, and as much as I wanted more sleep, I was pretty sure it wouldn’t be coming. Got up, brewed a K-cup, and plopped down in the recliner.
-
Last night’s concert was fine. Today I have to run over the pieces for the next concert, but I mostly have to work on Chicago for tomorrow evening’s sitz.
-
I finally finished Truffaut’s Antoine Doinel films, and watched all the supplemental material. What a nice series. Now I need to revisit a couple of his other classics, and watch one or two more for the first time.
-
Speaking of truffles...
-
I wish I had a nice pistachio loaf right about now...
-
It's a little lumpy, but it rings.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Not a great night of sleep. Weird dreams involving having to learn to work early elections under water. My tablet proved okay under water. I don’t know why I needed my tablet submerged.
-
Ushering this morning. Hopefully writing this afternoon.
-
Happy news! The book was sitting under the mailboxes. After the Amazon mess, this was a nice lift to the morning.
-
MMM vibes for MR BK.
-
Good news DR ELMORE.

Page Two

I filled the PT with gasoline, went to the car wash - The Foaming Brush was not working....so it just got rinsed, I went the UPS store and got copies of the audition sheet made, I went to the hospital and told them that Walgreens texted me yesterday and could not get permission to fill my Metformin prescription, then I went to the oil change place for an oil change - on the car - and then to Dollar Twenty Five Tree to get some juice.
And now I am home.
-
And I don't have to go anyplace else today.
-
The Randy Vicar and the Foaming Brush - a possible entry in that series
-
Jrand, hoping that prescription matter gets sorted out sooner rather than later!

Please.

Ushered for a luncheon this morning. It was nothing work. In and out in two hours. Waited fir almost as long as I worked.
-
Thinking of DR Danise today and wishing I could wish her a happy birthday.
-
From DR Singday.
We are supposed to get the keys to our new apartment tomorrow and can start transferring stuff.
I hope the move goes smoothly and that you are very happy in your new apartment.
-
DR George, thanks from Keith.
-
From DR George:
Well, one of the coins was a quarter, and the year of the quarter was 1966...the year of my birth!
Cool.
-
Had lunch at a fried fish joint I hadn’t visited in years. The fried snapper was excellent and so were the crinkle cut fries. Everything was scorching hot.
-
On the wall was my review, dating back to 2009.
-
Another life.
-
I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of needed sleep.
-
Caught up on e-mails. Almost.
-
Glad the book was there.
-

-
Well, I've been sick again. This is getting ridiculous.

For short term, use Diphenoxylate/Atropine (Lomotil).
-
Good afternoon.
-
After I got back from my whirlwind trip to Las Vegas, my friend notified me that she and her DH booked a camping spot at a local desert park. So we booked a spot too.
-
We just got home. The weather was unusually wonderful for the three days we were there. Very cool for May. Kinda scary, actually, because it's not normal. What is the summer going to be like?
-
There were lots of birds and squirrels in the campsite to amuse me.
-
After a week at Disneyland, an overnight to Vegas, and a camping trip, Leonard is glad to have me home.

Welcome back home, Laura!
-
Can we get to page 3 before 4 pm (Eastern)?
-
PAGE THREE - 4:03 pm. Close enough!
-
Guess I'll order some food.
-
Stirring from a nap.
-
DR John G, have you heard anything about Patricia Sinnott's health?
-

What fun, and that you could get a reservation at the last minute.

Lovely, except for the scary part.

Awww, there is nothing like being missed.
-
DR John G, have you heard anything about Patricia Sinnott's health?
Not lately. But I will ask. She’s less communicative than ever.
-
DR LAURA is quite the gadabout - and we know what the Apostle Paul told the Corinthians about that......
-
Speaking of less communicative, hope DR Iris is doing ok out there.
-
Quite the Pacers game last night, JackRand!
-
Speaking of less communicative, hope DR Iris is doing ok out there.
I know. Sending hugs and vibes her way.
-
Yes indeed DR RODZINSKI!
-
:)
-
Also, this:
-
Our move has been delayed a few days. Apparently they decided to replace the carpets, and that will take longer.
-
But that's OK.
-
And Ron P, why didst thou forsake us? Was there a dust-up I missed? Where are the repors from the CSRA?
-
Feel better, Elmore!
-
I would take a rhubarb pie, with or without a crust.
-
But I'm funny that way.
-

I doubt you will complain about that :) Since it is in the same building you don't need to worry about a deadline to be out of your current place.
-

I don't think so. I think he is super focused on what is happening in the news.
-

More health vibes for Iris!
-
:)
What a lovely thought!
-
Wrapped up in the new Fredrik Backman book, My Friends.

Bravo indeed.

That is great news, DR Jane.

Very cool that the production is supportive and gave the cast members free choice of whether to be part of that performance or not.

Don’t feel like going back to Pride & Prejudice tonight, so I am starting Succession season four.

Made a batch of red cabbage slaw for dinner. It’s really good.

A CBS News journalist managed to break the internet on Wednesday with a quip about the papal conclave going on in the Vatican to pick a new pope.
That’s because Tony Dokoupil’s remark used a vulgar slang term associated with unprotected sex.
During live coverage of the conclave, CBS’s John Allen noted that all the clergy in attendance had their cell phones confiscated and said, “The one thing we know they’re not doing is checking Instagram.”
That led Dokoupil to joke, “I believe the kids call it rawdogging it,” which made all his on-air coworkers break up in laughter, while he attempted to finish the sentence with, “if you’re gonna go through a long period of time with no electronic device.”
Why the laughs?
Well, though Allen is right that “rawdogging” has been used on TikTok to describe giving up in-flight entertainment on a plane or other situations experienced without distraction or protection, that’s a cheeky play on its original slang meaning: having sex without a condom.

Git along, lil' doggie!

Crescendo is a documentary available on Amazon Prime about the 2022 Van Cliburn competition.
-
Haven't watched it yet, but will.
-
But not tonight.
-
No sirree Bob.
-
Because it's past my bedtime.
-
And I turn into a pumpkin.
-
Not a pumpkin spice latte, mind you.
-
A country pumpkin?
-
Millstone alert for singdaw!
-
A country pumpkin?
;D
-
I could try to just barrel straight through.
-
On a lark
-
Or a spree
-
Frittering away my chore time too.
-
When I should be doing the dishes.
-
But what care I?
-
I shall be footloose
-
And fancy free
-
Devil-May-Care
-
Of loose morals

62,000!!

PAGE FIVE!
-
So much excitement.
-
So little time.
-
Good night, friends.

And others.
-
Congratulations, Singdaw.
-
Good night, all.

Page five.
-
Pish tosh.

Not very sporting.

Ridic.

Where in tarnation IS everyone?

Finished with my viewing.

You will definitely want to read the notes.
-
Which are already written.
-
I decided to get some actual guacamole from somewhere good - and some Spanish rice with it.
-
Why not?
-
I don't really care for the guac from Gelson's, nor the chips I got from there either.
-
Should be here in around thirty minutes I should think.
-
A long way to a new page.
-
Nobody here but us chickens.
-
Except for the 604 GUESTS.
-
They're probably too busy eating guacamole.
-
I hope the guac is good. But I remember the jernt it's coming from fondly - The Gardens of Taxco in West Hollywood. Was my father's favorite and we used to go there quite often back in the 1970s.
-
In fact, I may get a proper meal from there one of these fine days.
-
I just might.
-
Jeez, we're not even on page six yet.
-
That is disgustingly disgusting.
-
And I don't care who knows it.
-
Hoping someone out there is reading the book.
-
Page six.
-
Now get me off this damn page before I vomit on the ground.
-
I should think the guac will come with chips, but I didn't check. I got the half order.
-
And I've always liked Spanish rice.
-
And Spanish Rose.
-
And Rose's Turn.
-
And Turn of the Screw.
-
Then again, I may have a screw loose.
-
I have no idea what the HELL I'm talking about.
-
Do you?
-
Hope chips are coming. But at least I have the Gelson's chips, should I need them.
-
I just don't like them.
-
But I'll eat them.
-
If I must.
-
Where is George?
-
Reading a book?
-
Flailing.
-
Vamp till ready.
-
Looks like guac isn't too far away now.

Very good news, Jane.

Guac was very good, they did give me a little bag of chips, and the Spanish rice was also good.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
I suppose there's not getting to another page.
-
That is what I suppose.
-
Moses supposes.

Erroneously.
