First post after Bk.

T.O.D.

Probably the piano, even though I dob’t play (my own fault).
Also the marimba, which I also don’t play. But my Aunt Ruth (my mom’s sister) played the marimba, and owned her own. It always fascinated me.

First good night of sleep in several days. Since it's all relative, a good night of sleep for me at present is nowhere near as good as what I considered a good night's sleep ten years ago.

At present, a good night's sleep is one in which I do not need to get out of bed - to stretch my legs which ache and cramp easily, use the bathroom, or take more sleeping aids - more than three times a night. God, I hate this.

The cats behaved pretty well last night. Stella and Thatch watched over me, and Annabelle slept in the cat tree. When I get my next payment for my work with Patrick Brady, I'm getting the cats as a belated Christmas gift a new cat tree.

I have no plans today at all. After I tidy, I need to read a couple of chapters of a friend's novel, work on an A&T story, and laze about.

In the past hour, I've finished the kitty cleanup, taken garbage to the basement, dealt with a John McGlinn issue, and remembered that today would have been my dad's 98th birthday. He's been dead nearly thirteen years now, and I still miss him enormously.

I was somehow permitted to sleep in till 9:00 this morning, and boy did I need it.

I’m just SO glad today is not a matinee day.

Tomorrow is, though, so I must be good tonight while attending a friend’s holiday open house after our show.

Bassoon for its rich, deep, otherworldly notes. Love Vivaldi’s concerti for il fagotto, as it’s known in Italian.

Sometimes when I'm tired and don't want to take the stairs, I take the esculent.

I did, too, though I feel I am running late already.

Piano - although the way I play it, it should be called a paino.

I also enjoy the saxophone. I like trumpet players, but the instrument is just okay.

Only one show today DR CHAS SMITH? You're slacking off.

BTW, FWIW, FYI, and apropos of not very much but I'll post it anyway:

Several days ago I was in Safari on the iPad, and there was a sudden weird moment, one of those times when you sense "something" happened but it isn't yet apparent. A few minutes later I saw that my bookmark (the icon or shortcut or whatever Apple calls these things) for HHW had changed from its standard generic 'H' to an actual image of what looks like a white fingerprint on a blue background. On both the MacBook and the iPhone it's still the generic 'H', but the "fingerprint" thingy remains on the iPad.

So, what in the HELL?

DR elmore how long ago did you get your current scratching post? Your cats must be very good about using it. Ours used to last forever. Eventually we stopped buying the tall ones as our homes offered plenty of places for them to perch up high.

While currently not dealing with the same kind of pain I know what you mean. Though this cold wakes me by 4:00 I consider only getting up once or twice to deal with other stuff means a decent sleep. At least that is what I tell myself as I walk around like a zombie

I'm up, I'm up - maybe five hours of sleep.

It’s been raining for about it 30 hours

I checked the basement before bed and all was well

vixmom · « **Reply #28 on:** December 14, 2019, 11:15:42 AM »

I woke in the night with a desire to visit one of the smaller rooms in the house and while there noticing the rain was coming down with some force
