Well, you've read the notes, the notes were out there in the dark, and now it is time for you to post until the out there in the dark cows come home.

And now, it's time for me to go to bed so that I can arise early enough to get some cream cheese and some more bagels.

Have a good day, all!

I had a pretty good night's sleep and no stabbing pains. The cats were well-behaved, and I remain floored by this. I had a strange dream about an unemployment lapse, a refund check, and my mother that makes no sense this morning, and I woke with the verse to "People" from Funny Girl running through my head.

And Happy Mother's Day!

This is my mother's 1941 high school graduation photo.

Much as I loved her, she was an unhappy lady, tormented by too many demons to care much for those who loved her. My father, who came from a broken home and - perhaps unwisely - would not let that happen to his family, suffered from her realization that she'd married for all the wrong reasons, and my brothers and I suffered from her passive-aggressive patterns of child rearing and depression. I cannot say I miss her, but i did love her.

I hope she's at peace.

Today I am planning another ME day and doing as little as possible.

I had quite a nice ME day yesterday. At 3:00 I was part of a ZOOM meeting with the 2004 Goodspeed cast of Where's Charley? and Tony and Gen Walton. It was fun to see people I had not seen in years and to meet some of their children.

I had a very leisurely getting up today, as I did yesterday

Several weeks ago we decided to convert Mikey from three meals per day to just two, while keeping his daily intake the same because there's no reason to reduce that. Our reasons were that it's better for them to have two scheduled meals instead of three, and it would lighten our workload a bit.

We thought the process would be harder than it turned out to be, because he's always been a demanding sort. I suppose the first week was a little iffy, but after two weeks you could see his internal time clock adjusting enough to give us hope of success. Now the process is pretty well complete, and things are calmer here overall. A really nice benefit is the somewhat calmer mornings, and this weekend he actually just laid in bed with me till whenever I was going to be ready to get my ass up, without even going downstairs to read the riot act to the others.

The one time I sort of watched the American remake of The Vanishing, it was playing on TCM or something and I dozed off about half or two-thirds of the way through. Then I began waking to these really weird moments that I thought might have been dreams combined with what was on the screen. But these scenes were so weird and awful that I've never felt the slightest inclination since then to watch it again wide awake. I wonder what Jeff Bridges' honest opinion of it is, or was then.

The only things on the agenda for today are a walk, most likely a nap, and a phone call to mom.

I just read this on the Internet, so it must be true.

Apparently, the reason you cry when you chop onions is that the chemical in the onion is attracted to the nearest source of water, which is usually your eyes. So if you place a wet paper towel on your chopping board, so the theory goes, the onion chemical will gravitate to that, and not your eyes.

I wonder if it really works?

Hmm... a cursory search on Google indicates that there just might be some validity to this.

But again, it's on the Internet. So who knows?
