I just reported my unemployment hours to Suad, and I really like her a lot.  She's quite wonderful.

Good news

DR Vixmom, please take care of yourself.  Sometime during the course of dealing with my Mom, I ran across this quote:  "You don't have to set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm."  Vibes to you both!

That is an excellent quote. 

I understand it is difficult for her to cook and clean but I would expect she can do most other things.  Is her wrist still very swollen?  I also know it is painful.  I have a low threshold for pain, your mother's must be almost zero.  My mother never tolerated us making a lot of noise about pain, something she knew too much about.

She can’t do anything herself

DR Elmore, do you know music copyist Russ Anixter? I watched a short interview with him. He used to work with a Don Rice. I didn't know either of these names. He also mentioned the names Tony Kay (sp?) and Doug Besterman, both of whom are left-handed copyists which is apparently a whole 'other challenge in writing music. Anyway, he's still a proponent of doing it all by hand, even though he has relatively little chance to do so nowadays.


Doug Besterman is not a copyist; he is an orchestrator who works quite a lot.  You'll find his Broadway shows on the IBDB.  He lives in LA now and does some film work.  Could this Tony Kay actually be Annie Kaye?  She used to be an actress, and I worked with her on an orchestration job for Papermill Playhouse many years ago.  She's a nice ladym abd I haven't seen her in so long I doubt I would recognize her.

I do not know the others you mentioned, but my last work involving a copyist was for Encores! and there are new music prep folk I've never met.

I could easily have heard one or more of those names wrong. Also, he said much of his early career was on the west coast.

Kitty antibiotic administered, and I am $77 the poorer.

(I think the take-home liquid or tablets are typically about half that.)

DR Vixmom I gather your mother is fine during the day without you?  Is it her right or left wrist?

My brother is taking the day shift, he works nights

That's good news...

Been busy doing some "stuff" this morning, and I have to get ready to take Poe down to Cat Clinic for a quick antibiotics shot. His urine showed signs of bacteria, which has happened before, and he's getting the injection to ward off getting a UTI.

I learned that I have to voluntarily pay more for that as opposed to giving him an oral solution or tablets at home. You absolutely cannot get an antibiotic into him otherwise. He can detect one part in a billion from a hundred miles away and there's no way of disguising it in anything.

With four cats needing pills I became a pro at it, still we took one cat to the vet for injections if possible as it was less stressful for her.

Thank goodness you have someone nice to help you get the benefits.  When does the food delivery begin?

I did recall not being able to wash my hair at first.  I hope she can feed herself if the food is provided.  Thank goodness your brother is there for the day shift.

I am so tired of this nonsense.  We have 477 new cases over night between the two counties here.  2949 total.  That's nothing in a major city.  In a city of 120,000 that's a lot and it's totally on the rise.   Great time to reopen our stores....sheesh

I'm up, I'm up - was up at seven after two hours of sleep thank to my idiot neighbors who talk so loudly you can probably hear them a block away.  So finally fell asleep again after an hour of that and got maybe six hours total.

Well, my niece had a grocery delivery ready from Kroger.  She called Door Dash for a driver to bring it to her.

Said DD Driver texted later and said Kroger would not give him the groceries.

My niece soon discovered that the DD Driver stole her groceries.

The End.

Augh!!

Was that DD driver or DUI?

Back from picking up yesterday's package today and just ordered food from Hugo's - had completely forgotten about that jernt.  Pasta papa, of course, but they don't seem to have the small Caesar on the menu so I didn't get that.

I'm more concerned about when/if the payments begin!

DR Ginny, I don't know a thing about Door Dash, but it seems to me this asshole driver-thief should be easily apprehended.

I was chatting with some friends today and one was planning to get her nails done.  She was encouraged not to.  After reading about the spread in a nail salon she informed us she will not be going.

Of course you are.  I just thought you might have also been told about the grocery delivery.

We did our first Zoom this afternoon and watched an 11 year old open her gifts from us.  That was fun.
