[Jane]

Glad to hear you slept, DR Jane. I am sure you needed it.

Thank you and boy did I need it.  Of course I still need a month more of nights like that

[Jane]

Going for a vaccination in the middle of the night --

Sounds sneaky! Like going out to pick up the seed pods to put under the beds of your unsuspecting family members...

[Jane]

My last 30-minute meeting of the day went 40 minutes over schedule and covered the same ground as the last five meetings.

GROAN!

[Jane]

I’m going for a walk.

Good idea.

[Jeanne]

On Sunday I had called in a food order, then went out to my car a few minutes later to drive to the restaurant. My car wouldn't start. sigh. I called the restaurant to tell them what was happening, then placed the same order with Grubhub. Yesterday morning I called for a tow, but the driver was able to get the car started. I lucked out and just needed a new battery, the cheapest and easiest of the possibilities. I now have my wheels back.

[Jeanne]

Continued good sleep vibes for Jane.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

[Laura]

There is a site 2 miles away, but they had no appointments available.

Keep trying for something better.  You might get lucky.

I spent 45 minutes trying to get that one.  All the appointments were filled within an hour.

 At the beginning of the vaccinations in late December/early January, nurses were having to drive to Show Low for their shots. That's four hours away. About three of those hours in snow country.

[John G.]

Good news, Jeanne, on your car.

[John G.]

Has anyone read Shuggie Bain? It won the Man Booker this year.

Congrats on getting your food & car problem solved easily.

In other states I occasionally hear of new options opening and people finding better options.  At least you have an appointment.

The Man Booker award is never a temptation for me.  I have read too many of those that I simply did not care for

I read the blurb on Shuggie Bain with mixed thoughts.  Then I began reading the sample on Amazon.  Have you read the sample?

[John G.]

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Shuggie. It's a hard book to read. The mother's alcoholism is difficult to deal with. And the torment that young Shuggie faces from the other kids brings its own challenges. In a way, it's like a Thatcher-induced Dickensian novel, with more than its share of grotesques popping up all over the place. .

[John G.]

Except for Wolf Hall, the recent Man Booker winners are more my taste usually than, say, the Pulitzer Prize winner.

The I Be Profane worked pretty well in relieving my too much sleep headache and even a bit of the arm pain.

[bk]

Thinking about going to Gelson's for a muffin or some sweet for later.

[bk]

Hugo's forgot the cheese that goes with pasta papa - I ALWAYS put it in the instructions to NOT FORGET THE CHEESE, and they forget more often than not. So, I complained to the delivery service and got a seven dollar credit.

As a child I dealt enough with my mother's alcoholism, without the financial repercussions thank goodness.  I think I will pass.

I can understand that.

In a surprising development, I kind of liked the Berg opera, Wozzeck. Who knew? Will do Lulu later, as in I'll listen to it later.

Zoom rehearsal in fifty minutes.

[John G.]

Just watched another episode of Great British Baking Show. It was biscuits tonight (aka cookies for us Americans). I wasn't as thrilled with the food, but I do like the people.

[John G.]

This is the kind of day I've had.

[John G.]

And now, I'm off to read.

[singdaw]

I've always heard people rave about Lulu and Wozzeck, but I've never been brave enough to give them a try.

[singdaw]

Pretty much.
