Well, you've read the notes, the notes welcomed 2022, and now it is time for you to post until the 2022 cows come home.

And the word of the day is: REJUVENATE!

I removed the extra post so we'd be at 555!

So, I checked my mail when I got home last night, and I received a package that was obviously a CD. I totally forgot what it could've been, but now that I've finally opened it, it's the remastered, limited edition 1982 Japanese cast recording of Evita. If I had gotten through Amazon.com, it would've cost $61.99 + $5.20 shipping + $6.32 tax for a grand total of $73.51! HOWEVER, I got it from https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B095GLPWBS/ and it only cost me a total of $23.52 US!

And it looks like I got one of the last ones that they had, because it's no longer available.

Several years ago, when I actually was making money, I gave my wonderful neighbor Pixie, who lives in the apartment below me, $200 for headshots. Last night, around 4:00, she showed up at my door with a carton that had been left in the lobby for me and a shopping bag of gifts: a berry cake she had baked for me, a beautiful card, a couple of Covid home tests, and an envelope containing $200.

In 2008, during the bedbug mess, she went through cancer. At that time I was sleeping on the floor on an air mattress since my apartment was virtually empty to deal with the bugs, and I could hear her hysterical sobbing late at night through the floorboards. I didn't know until later what was going on.

So, we talked about my situation - she asked why I was occasionally heard screaming "fuck fuck fuck" at the top of my lungs - and I suddenly had a panic attack, fell completely apart, and cried like a baby. She held me till I calmed down, gave me some advice, and we talked about other things, and she left around 5:00.

After that, I cleaned my dishes and the cats'. gave them their treat, and we watched the first act of the Todd-AO version of Oklahoma! What a wonderful movie. I would swear that score is as fresh now as it was in 1943, and everything Gloria Grahame utters makes me laugh. I think she and Charlotte Greenwood are the best of a great cast, and deMille's dream ballet - with Oliver Smith's amazing designs - seems more of a surrealistic nightmare than it ever did onstage.

By 9:00 the cats and I were ready for bed. I turned off the lights and could not get to sleep. I finally got up, checked the clock, and it was 12:02. I said to the cats, And 2022 is already a rotten year.

Sometime after that, I fell asleep. I woke later, and Thatch was sharing my pillow. Sometime around 3:00, I had a bathroom break, and Stella took his place for the rest of the night.

Glad that Pixie was there for you, DR elmore3003.

There were a ridiculous amount of fireworks going off here all last night. Of course, at midnight it was the worst. Leonard hid under the bed.

Wonderful neighbors are such a blessing, Elmore.

My Fitbit tells me I got less than four hours of sleep last night.

She's a wonderful neighbor. She showed me two YouTube vdeos she worked on this year.
In this one she plays the gay boy's mother, and I didn't recognize her!:

She narrates this creepy short by her friend Max:

I've been very blessed with Mark and Judy next foor, Pixie downstairs, and Ann and Jen on five. I just do not want to become an imposition on any of them.

Leonard is playing with a box of marbles and having a terrific time.

singdaw · « **Reply #27 on:** January 01, 2022, 05:50:32 AM »

That sounds like a fantastic way to start off 2022.

singdaw · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2022, 05:50:48 AM »

If only I had my marbles.

singdaw · « **Reply #29 on:** January 01, 2022, 05:51:49 AM »

But since I don't, I'm ~~taking my marbles and~~ going home.
