I have heat!

It started up around 6:00 last night, but I wasn't sure because last week, when I opened the radiator, I thought all was well. So, I was awakened sometime around 4:00, when I heard the furnace starting up - a familiar sound after 45 years - and when the apartent was toasty at 5:45 when the alarm rang, I knew all was good.

I have been wearing a fairly recent pair, so the prescription isn't too bad at all, and although I was thinking about buying a new pair from Costco, I probably wouldn't because these aren't bad enough.

Back from a surprisingly okay run-through for the author and costumer guy. Yes, pacing was slow, blocking was sloppy, but we got through it without any train wrecks and after we were done I gave a nice talk about how I don't tolerate sloppy blocking, we ran a few things and now we're off until January 2. Everyone has promised they'll come back ready to run the show.

Well, I hate to do it (no, really, I do!), but I must go to sleep.  I have a dermatology appointment in Lakewood in the morning, so I'd better get some sleep.

They were up two and a half hours ago and I forgot to change the day because I went to the comfy armchair and fell asleep. Just took NyQuil and hope for some good sleep.
