Yesterday, I had a quiet but busy morning followed by a nice bath, and then, just after dinner, another round of nausea that sent me to the bathroom for an hour, followed by an unsettling evening as I apprehensively waited for another attack that did not come.

Last night, I went down the Facebook rabbit hole, watched a lot of videos, and basically lost track of time. ::)



Facebook rabbit holes seem hit or miss for me.  I keep finding, though, that YouTube rabbit holes keep giving me pretty much exactly the kind of videos and shorts that I want to see. I'm guessing the YouTube algorithm is aware of which videos you watch all the way through (vs. switching them off early) and is well set up to give you more of the same.

Did Medicare ever act on giving you some of the home help that one of your medical visits seemed to recommend?

I wonder whether, given your having such nice high-profile credits in 2024 (the ballet and your Times Arts & Leisure section interview about it, and your visible credit in the GYPSY program), the Entertainment Community Fund formerly Actors Fund might help you in some way - at least until good things happen from the book.

So they'll get fresh water in a bit.

I hardly ever have mac & cheese. But if I did have it, I think I would like a chili mac.

Schnipper's restaurant near Port Authority has a "Mac and Joe" that is quite good and reasonable cost, mixing Mac & Cheese and Sloppy Joe.  That might be similar to a chili mac.

Lidia Bastianich had a recipe for mac'n'cheese with fresh asparagus and peas. I'd love to try that, and Jrand's shrimp mac'n'cheese sounds tasty.

The other night on Amazon Prime I watched the 2006 movie version of The History Boys, whch I wish I'd seen on Broadway. It's quite wonderful and disquieting at the same time, dealing with relationships both educational and sexual between faculty and students, in particular a most amazing general studies instructor who pushes his students to look beyond historical facts and icons to pop culture and celebrities like Noël Coward and Rodgers & Hart. The cast, particularly Richard Griffithsm is quite wonderful.

Being calorically-challenged myself, I assume it's OK to tell this -

On Broadway, "The History Boys" had a beautifully detailed set where, from the house seats and presumably the Tony voters seats, the view was great enough to win Best Scenic design Tony. But from pretty much everywhere else, something was always in the way - something was blocked and you could hardly see anything except from the best seats!

There was a "spoof announcement" going around back then as if from the producers of "History Boys" dealing with this very strange reality -

The non-PC spoof press release went: "The producers have been asked to address concerns that 90% of the house is partial view. Please be assured that Mr. Richard Griffiths can be seen from every seat in the house."

TOD: I like mac and cheese, although I rarely eat it. I know ya'll will hate me for this, but I use Velveeta, because it melts easily. I add whatever other cheeses I have in the house at the time.
Title: Re: THE DRAWING OF THE BLOOD

I always cube the Velveeta and leave a few pieces on the edge of the cutting board in case someone sneaks into the kitchen and steals a few pieces.
