I asked him about the 3-month wait for an appointment. He said that he can schedule surgery a week in advance. He had no explanation for the long wait. It was clear, though, that communication is lacking between admin and him -- he didn't even know what I'd come in for. Sigh.

At least once in he was competent.

[John G.]

My sympathies, BK, on Vern’s passing.

[John G.]

Four!

[Jane]

John G, I'm glad you'll be seeing the doctor tomorrow. Is the pain still there?

Not as bad. It’s still there. Got worse as the day went on but has tapered off somewhat.

Thanks for asking.

Vibes you have good answers tomorrow.

[Jane]

I went out to water lightly. Everything is happy because of the rain. New flowers have come out. More are budding up. But the nicest sight was of a clump of leaves at the base of the fig tree. It’s not dead after all. That just makes me happy.

[John G.]

I filed what was called an exception to work from home permanently. So has most of the team I’m on.

President Biden just announced new CDC Guidelines.

Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks indoors OR outdoors!

Happy days are here again!

I am still wearing mine inside public stores, etc.

Me, too. Last year when things reopened people went crazy. I'm concerned that that will happen again. But the case counts are lower now, which gives us some measure of protection.

Yes, very. Admin throughout both Cedars and UCLA just isn't very good.

Yesterday was Eye Day. I saw a new ophthalmologist for a consultation. This is the doctor I've been trying to see for TWO YEARS. He confirmed what other eye doctors had told me, but each one of them  had each used different terminology from one another. I suspected that they were all saying the same thing, but wanted clarification. He seems quite competent, but goes about 80 mph. I prefer doctors who go a little slower, give patients time to take it all in and then ask questions. This is not the way that medicine is practiced these days. He did answer my questions, I just had to slip them in when he wasn't looking. As I expected, he wants to do a procedure on my right eye. Unfortunately, Covid may cause some problems there. Once it's approved I'll be able to talk to one of the schedulers about it. NOTHING happens until they have approval.

MAJOR VIBES YOU HAVE THE PROCEEDURE & IT IS A SUCCESS!

thanks.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

Good evening!

[KevinH]

Vibes for all!

[John G.]

Vibes for all!

Double ditto!

Good luck with this.

[John G.]

A slew of movies came in today at the library, including two Jacques Tourneur films. One is another Joel McCrea western, Stranger on Horseback. The second has Vincent Price and Tab Hunter in War-Gods of the Deep.

Unless I missed you decided to get vaccinated I expect you need to be extra diligent. 

The exception to our rule is in restaurants.  There is no way I would eat inside one without having been vaccinated.

That's really a shame.

Oh, oh.  This photo goes with a story on how to avoid mask burns

[John G.]

Jeanne, the library has One Lane Bridge on order. I've placed a hold. Who knows when I'll get it.

BTW, last year's Brokenwood finally came in. I can start watching hopefully this weekend.

[John G.]

I finally got some wireless earbuds. I hope I don't lose them in five minutes. I got the EchoBuds, which are tied to Alexa. They were having an intro offer on the price that I couldn't refuse.

[John G.]

Starting Stranger on Horseback. It was filmed in "breathtakingly beautiful Ansco Color." After Brigadoon, I had no idea that Ansco Color could be used for anything breathtaking, let alone beautiful.

Gratuitous post No. 111!

As one who avoids staying out in the sun, I don't think that I will ever have this problem.

[George]

And now, it's past time for me to leave work, so I shall.

Until later!

  It’s not dead after all.

Not even figs.  Raisins.

[singdaw]

The visit is going well so far.
