We did not have a leak. The alarm must be faulty.

I almost wish it was something that was an easy fix after having an emergency visit.

In the past we had two gas leaks here that did need fixing.

Short movies....HA!

Last night I watched a movie that I had never seen.....but I decided to stick with it and see what it was all about.

PEPE - it was pretty bad.....some people thought that Fernandel was funny, but I am not one of them...didn't really like ...80 DAYS, but then again I'm not a David Niven fan either.....

But now I can say that I saw IT!

You mean Cantinflas. I have a soft spot for Pepe. Where did you see it?

I'm up, I'm up - barely. Set the alarm last night, didn't go off so was awakened by knocking. This iPad has had it, I think. Just done as done can be. It's given good service - second generation, so that's how old - just looked it up - April 2012. Eight years for an Apple product is pretty good.

One potential guest isn't happening - oh, well. I think it might have happened if she hadn't gotten some kind of TV hosting thing that starts next week, but she's weird and it's fine. The one I really want is still neither yay or nay - we're hoping yay but it may be a last-minute thing. And the recently-set guest is already nervous about doing her number because she's who she is and that's what she does. But I had this problem with one person in the last show and we got her through it fine. I try to explain that this is what the foreseeable future is and everyone better get used to it. We'll see - I have back-up plans should she drop, but the track is done and I would not be happy.

Here is a link to the trailer if the one I only saw bits of
https://youtu.be/oFAUDhIry40

Goddaughter Charlotte and I saw this in the theatre at Lincoln Center when it was first released. It's a lot of fun but I still prefer the brilliant 1971(2?) Public Theatre version with Sam Waterston and Kathleen Widdoes.

Do you know if it was filmed and is available on video?

But actually testing in the time of covid was actually easier than it was before

I had to register online yesterday, including uploading my scripts and med ID card

vixmom · « **Reply #100 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:15:07 AM »

When I arrived the waiting room which holds about 30 and is usually full had only 2 other people

vixmom · « **Reply #101 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:17:22 AM »

I walked in, stood on the taped”x” an arm’s each from the counter , placed my license on the counter , the masked assistant used some handheld scanner thing to scan it where it lay then directed me to take it back.

Took less time to do than it took me to type that

vixmom · « **Reply #103 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:18:10 AM »

Then I was sent through a closed door to the women only waiting room

vixmom · « **Reply #104 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:19:15 AM »

I was greeted immediately and directed to a dressing room where there was a very nice reusable shopping bag and a cotton gown in a sealed plastic bag

vixmom · « **Reply #105 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:19:32 AM »

The room spelled slightly of disinfectant

vixmom · « **Reply #106 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:20:09 AM »

I changed put everything in the bag and was immediately taken into the osteoporosis scan room

vixmom · « **Reply #107 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:20:37 AM »

Jane that was, as you said, very easy and comfortable

vixmom · « **Reply #108 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:21:00 AM »

Then I was brought immediately to the torture chamber

vixmom · « **Reply #109 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:22:38 AM »

The technician who coincidentally shares my first and middle names and my birthday was lovely despite her merciless mashing machinations

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:24:26 AM »

Then I was dismissed and requested to keep the bag as a “lovely parting gift”. I was told I would be billed for the copay which I could pay by phone or online

vixmom · « **Reply #111 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:25:39 AM »

The only person who touched me was my namesake and she was double masked, gloved and gowned

vixmom · « **Reply #112 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:26:26 AM »

The building where this took place us about a 10 minute drive from my house

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:26:50 AM »

I had a 9:30 appointment and arrived at 9:27

vixmom · « **Reply #114 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:27:18 AM »

I walked back into my house at 10:03

vixmom · « **Reply #115 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:27:33 AM »

Vixdad thought I had changed my mind and not gone

vixmom · « **Reply #116 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:28:21 AM »

So since we hadn’t had breakfast I made some

vixmom · « **Reply #117 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:29:00 AM »

Nothing fancy today because I have to go shopping as we are out of just about everything

vixmom · « **Reply #118 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:29:32 AM »

So we just had English muffins, poached eggs and sausages

vixmom · « **Reply #119 on:** August 15, 2020, 10:30:23 AM »

And of course a lovely pot of hot TP Tips tea
