My friend with the missing cat found poop in her basement. After setting up a hidden camera they found the missing cat hiding.

Oh, and ....... SNOW!

We got snow! Just a thin covering that only stuck to grass and some trees. But how utterly disorienting! It’s like...the beginning of winter or something. We haven’t seen snow since nearly January.

Snow in March there is far less startling than us having snow in March

Congrats to DR GEORGE on his millstone.

I broiled some cheeseburgers this morning for my consumption as the day progresses.

Yes I am sad that I am not there for my cousin's funeral....but I think it's the best decision....

We used to play CRWTH when I was growing up. I think it was by Hasbro.

I am trying to prepare myself for the fact that ANYTHING GOES will not be happening in June.....I do not think planning auditions in four weeks is practical at this time.

We will be having a meeting soon.

My thought is that we cancel our season.....first time in 59 years....because SELLING season tickets and then NOT having a season would be awful publicity.....but canceling and then opening big for our 60th season would be an event.

We shall see what transpires......

I liked this book a lot - if any DR is interested in Mark Twain....

St. Patrick's Day greetings! Richard and I are going to venture out today. We have 3 stops to make, but only one will require getting out of the car and entering a place of business. We'll go into Staples, but utilize curbside pick-up at Kroger (I placed an online order Sunday evening) and at Bravo Italian Cucina for salad and breadsticks to accompany the spaghetti I'm making for dinner.

As soon as I make the bed and take my meds, I'm off to East 57th Street/ I think I'll take the crosstown bus at 79th to Lexington and take a Lexington Avenue bus to 57th Street. I have no idea ar rtgew moment how frequently any bus is running!

DR Elmore, I hope your trip goes smoothly today!

I got home from my trip and immediately took a hot bath. Everything went smoothly until I got to Columbus Circle. I lost my balance stepping off the curb and fell backward onto the sidewalk. A very kind youngish gentleman with a foreign accent helped me up by the time the taxi driver had come to my rescue. I treaded very delicately after that.

So, because of the rain, I ended up with a completely wet backside from the fall and on my way home from the doctor I got more wet waiting for a bus at 57th Street. I thought the hot bath would help.

Same with us not holding Freyja. If we were local, but not to get on a plane first.

Oh. I hope you don't have to go out again for awhile.

No pain from the fall vibes!

I have an appointment this morning I decided not to cancel. Then I might stop at Fred Meyer to get some things I need. I really don't want to go.

Very glad you landed well, DR Elmore!

The corned beef is simmering and should be done cooking in three more hours or so. I bought four packages of about 2.5 pounds each (I insist on planning for leftovers) and I’ve got five pounds each in two pots for easier handling.

The cabbage, potatoes, and carrots are cut and sitting ready in pots of cold water. Soda bread is ready to slice, and the Irish butter is thawing to room temperature.

A load of laundry is in the washer, and I’m taking a good break ketchuping in the recliner.

And that’s the news.

It was frightening, but I fell backwards and it was more embarrassing than painful.

No galley or cover proofs yet - so today is doubtful. He told me some people are now working from home, some still coming in. Hopefully soon.

I love my audiologist and as I guessed, it was a quiet healthy environment and safe to keep my appointment. Much safer than the markets have been with all the crowds.

On the way home I stopped at Fred Meyer to see what they had that I had forgotten.

Jane · « **Reply #53 on:** March 17, 2020, 12:18:26 PM »

I was relieved they still have dish soap, and pleased they still have dishwasher soap though that isn't essential.

Jane · « **Reply #54 on:** March 17, 2020, 12:18:50 PM »

I could not find oatmeal which is of concern.

Jane · « **Reply #55 on:** March 17, 2020, 12:20:00 PM »

There wasn't any Method soap let alone the Coconut foam one we like. We have soap, however, I am sensitive to many of them as well as to the scents. Still it wasn't essential.

I have lots of soap.

I like Caress.

They did not expect the Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips to be the first chocolate chips to disappear off of the shelves. They had everything else. Of course that is what I wanted. When I eat these I eat less chocolate overall.

You know what's amusing about Facebook (which I haven't visited other than to check my page) - people only share the doom and gloom stories. When someone dares to share an even-keeled report saying it will get better sooner than later, everyone screams "FAKE" even though most of what's being shared is pure conjecture. It's almost as if no one wants to hear anything positive. It's a real problem and it feels really good not to have to see all that media and social media driven panic and hysteria. We will survive.
