Kitty cleanup was particularly difficult this morning. Once again, one of the cats - Stella, I suspect - used the bathtub as a litter box, adding a more serious cleaqnup time to the usual and forcing me to get up and down on my knees several more times than my body would like. On top of that, because I kept forgetting to order more scouring powder to clean the tub, I used ammonia which burns botrh eyes and lungs. I now feel very nauseous.

I knew that I was expecting to find in the mailroom rthis morning a carton from Chewy.com and Amazon, both containing cat food. I really did not particularly want to schlep downstairs and drag up one heavy carton and one of unknown weight. When I opened thew door, I found both cartons sitting on my door mat, thanks to Ann and Jen, God love them.

So last night, we had our first complete run-through of Into the Woods!  It was also a designers' run for the designers.  The only inconvenience (and it was a big one) was that four, count 'em, FOUR actors weren't there!  And a fifth didn't get there until the second act. ::) But we got through it all!

That is a BIG inconvenience.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again - I need a new computer. I can't wait until this damn thing suddenly won't work anymore and I lose something important.

I hope you are able to get a new computer before then.

If this keeps on keeping on, I'll just restart the damn thing, but really, I've just about had it with this nonsense. This thing is a decade old. It's been great but I need something that works, has the latest stuff, etc. This is just unbearable, and yet here I am, having to bear it.

Prices might be going up soon on new computers.

Feeling a bit better today.

I don't have to go out or do anything in particular today - so that is good.

The weather is still decent. I just refilled the bird feeder outside the window so Leonard will have something to watch. The window can be open another hour or so.

The morning show was pretty good. The cast has only two actual public performances in this short run, tonight and tomorrow night, so having an invited audience and some bussed-in school kids this morning made for a good final dress rehearsal.

Now I have to spend a couple of hours looking at music for a voice student "master class" tomorrow, which is mainly an early group rehearsal for a recital in August.
