3hree!!!

Well, I decided not to watch the first part of the reading of the redacted Mueller Report as a patron.  I just decided to be lazy.  I'm still going to officially usher this afternoon, so I'll see the second half.  And I have some coupons and gift cards for some local eating establishments, so I'll go somewhere to eat before I go downtown to usher, so I better fet started (late, as it is) on my day.

Until later!

180%!  And hopefully going to infinity and beyond because I got a very dispiriting note from Indiegogo last night - it only took them eight days to respond.  Since December of last year, their policy is to not only take their fees, but to hold 5% of the funds for - SIX MONTHS.  They say it makes it easy on us to do chargebacks and/or refunds.  Well, in all my Indiegogo campaigns I have never ONCE had either occur.  I told them they really have no right to hold MY money for six months, especially as I'll be shipping all the perks as soon as the funds hit the bank.  I asked for a supervisor to look at us specifically and said if someone has never had these problems they should not be punished because others have.  So, what were already big fees, they're now going to withhold even more - six months from now who cares?  I need all of it NOW to, you know, bring the project to fruition.  So, I'm really going to push the campaign as hard as I can and if we're miraculous enough to get to 200%, which I'm hoping we will be, I'm then going to try and push us a bit beyond that so we can actually clear what we need. 

VIBES YOU GET TO 200%

This morning we learned our granddog Yogi passed away yesterday afternoon at home with the assistance from a veterinarian.  We have been expecting this for almost a year now, still, it is very sad news.  Yogi was 9 days shy of 14.  Found on the steps of Craig's apartment building in Bucharest, Romania at 4 weeks of age, Yogi & Craig had a very special bond.

I am glad Craig was able to find a vet to go to Yogi.  It does make it easier 

My condolences to Craig.

Thank you.

Ditto!
Pets are family.

They are.  Craig sacrificed a lot for Yogi.

The bath was very warm and very welcome.  Stella sat on the edge of the tub to lick my wet shoulder and hand.  She's fascinated by the water but after falling in one day and my washing off that pesticide she got into the next day, she's no longer behaving as if she will jump in to play with me.

Annabelle sat on the toilet seat and observed.  They all liked their dinner.

I am glad it was entertaining.

I am now a physical wreck.  I decided that I had to seriously tackle the roach problem now that I had a (hopefully) pet-safe pesticide. I worked from 12:30-3:00, sprinkling poisoned boric acid, vacuuming the space before I laid out the pesticide and then vacuuming the spill into areas the cats might get to, moving furniture, moving cartons of books, standing, kneeling, and now every joint aches.  I can barely move. 

I think I will take a hot bath after I feed the babies in 15 minutes.

I hope the bath helped.

It was very welcome, and I took a Tizanidine.  I should feel no pain very shortly.

Back from Hugo's and lunch with Peyton and her mom - I had the barbecue turkey sandwich, which is reasonable, calorie-wise, especially as I didn't have the fries, but a salad, which I didn't even touch.

Listening to music now.

Whilst at Amoeba I got a few 2.99 CDs - composers I don't know, but that looked interesting.

Just finishing up re-listening to all the Andre Cluytans-conducted albums of Ravel - for me, they are definitive.  He did a mono set, too, but the later stereo performances are even better.

.  He did a mono set, too, but the later stereo performances are even better.

That was part of a Rodney Dangerfield joke, IIRC. I think it was: (paraphrasing)

"Morality today is terrible. You know my doctor - Dr. Vinnie Boombatz.  He told me he had three cases of mono and four cases of syphilis last week.  He's doing OK now, though."

[George]

I'm at the show, counting people as they come into the theater. Since it's now the second half, just about everyone has already been counted.  I'm just counting very late comers, or more than likely, people who got something during the break (4:00-4:30) and are just now coming back and I don't know that they were here before...which is fine.

[George]

Each reader is reading for a half hour, then the next person picks up where the last person left off.  They do finish sentences...they don't have to stop at EXACTLY one half hour of reading.

[George]

I don't think they'll get to the end of the whole report, so I don't know how they'll end the evening.  After it's over, they said that people can go to a local wine bar for a post-show discussion.

DR Jennifer I see you read THE FIRST GIRL CHILD already.  That was fast.  The release date was only 2 days ago.  My library doesn't have an ebook.  I might have to purchase this one.

I had an advanced copy, which I normally would have read earlier. I love this author. But I don't love fantasy, which is probably why I put it off this long.

I am glad you enjoyed it once you read it.  It there a time frame you are expected to read advance copies & review them?

I usually try to read and review before release date. This one I only started reading on release date. But at least I had my review a few days later.

[George]

I almost forgot...I was able to take a picture of the set from last night's outdoor Tempest.  The tower is a permanent structure at the waterfront, so that's not what the theater company created.  They're just using it to their advantage.

And the lighting wasn't actually that bright.  My camera automatically adjusted its settings to take a better picture.

Nice set DR George.

[Jane]

Facebook showed me my memories from last year of the polar bear we saw.  That means today is the one year anniversary of when I broke my elbow

[George]

Nice set DR George.

I agree.  They used the tower pretty effectively.  They even had some scenes way at the top.  Except for one young (inexperienced) woman, pretty much everyone else could be heard.  They didn't use microphone at all.

Page three?  Really?

Listening to music and I don't care who knows it.

Kai Winding.  Strange album, but one I had when I was in college.

Grammy Jane, have you had more injuries since then?
